TrueNorth Yacht Advisors is an independent documentation and buyer-support service. We provide educational resources, model-specific survey-prep guides, and structured remote evaluations to help buyers communicate effectively with sellers, prepare for a formal marine survey, and make informed decisions before traveling to inspect a vessel.

 

We are not marine surveyors, yacht brokers, engineers, or legal advisors. Nothing on this website — including our written guides, articles, emails, or remote support services — replaces a certified marine survey, professional rigging inspection, mechanical assessment, haulout, or legal/tax consultation. All information provided through TrueNorth Yacht Advisors is general and educational in nature. It reflects typical patterns seen in production cruising yachts and may not apply to any individual vessel. Every used boat is unique. Previous repairs, refits, storms, modifications, or undocumented damage can dramatically alter the condition of a yacht, even among identical models.

 

• Buyers must independently verify all critical information, including: Vessel identity (HIN, registration, build year, ownership)VAT / customs status.

• Engine hours and maintenance records

• Rigging age

• Structural history (groundings, collisions, repairs)

• Compliance with local regulations and safety standards

• Before proceeding with any purchase, buyers are strongly encouraged to hire a certified marine surveyor, consult a qualified marine mechanic and rigger, and seek legal or tax advice relevant to their jurisdiction.

 

TrueNorth Yacht Advisors cannot guarantee the accuracy of seller-provided information, photographs, videos, maintenance records, invoices, or survey reports. We are not responsible for errors, omissions, delays, or misrepresentations made by sellers, brokers, surveyors, insurers, or other third parties. Use of our guides and services is voluntary and at the buyer’s own risk.

 

TrueNorth Yacht Advisors assumes no liability for financial loss, vessel condition, survey findings, failed purchases, or any decision made based on our content or recommendations.

 

By using this website or purchasing any digital product or service from TrueNorth Yacht Advisors, you agree to these terms and acknowledge that all final due-diligence decisions rest solely with you, the buyer.
