Michael Jirgal - Your Austrian surveyor for damage assessment and valuation of boats and yachts - Yachtgutachten.at
Surveys for boats, sailing boats and motor boats
A boat is worth exactly what a buyer is willing to pay for it. To know the right price as a seller, or to avoid being short-changed as a buyer, you should have a valuation survey carried out before buying or selling your boat.
First impression and professional expertise
The first impression during a viewing is often shaped by emotion. Once the chemistry is right, surveying a boat – both ashore and afloat – calls for genuine technical expertise.
Support "before and after"
Which boat suits me? What do I actually want to do with my yacht? Help, how do I finally get away from the dock? In which country can I register my boat? We clarify all this and much more with all-round support.
To your dream boat in 3 steps:

Book an appointmentFrom vision to project
Searching and finding. Probably the most important part. Depending on how involved you want to be, we search together or I suggest suitable models to you. You pick your favourite and we look at it together – from masthead to keel.
Depending on where your dream boat lies, I'll also accompany you to viewings across Europe – for example to Croatia, Italy, Spain, Portugal, France, Germany, Slovenia, Greece, the Netherlands, Denmark, Sweden or Norway.
Yacht SurveysYour project is your boat
The survey is not the end, even if many surveyors like to see it that way. Because now it really begins: registration, MMSI, additional equipment. All of this needs to be taken care of – and I'll help you with it.
