'If you are looking for something unique, then they'd be always delighted to be assigned to find it for you. After an intake meeting, discussing your wishes and requirements they will run effective search procedures, at home and abroad through their vast network and arrange for an assessment of the range on offer in your preferred category.

If they find a yacht that suits you, they will do to research the targeted yacht. Its origin, uncovering as much history as possible. They arrange for surveys in order to obtain extra certainty on the yacht's condition. Furthermore, De Valk can support you during price negotiations, assessment of the sales contract and with every other conceivable financial, legal or tax issue.

'Yachts come from all over the place and sail under the most exotic flags. That is why it is important to study the history and to check the official registers. As a licensed broker, De Valk has online access to these registers, which allows us to check all the important details. For example, we can determine the tax status of the ship and see if it is serving as collateral in any respect'.
