Valuasi kapal di Indonesia dikerjakan dengan tiga metode — penjualan pembanding nasional, biaya penggantian dikurangi depresiasi, dan metode pendapatan untuk kapal eks charter — lalu direkonsiliasi menjadi satu rentang nilai dalam USD. Hasilnya dipakai untuk harga jual, appraisal bank dan asuransi, serta pembagian aset; laporan tertulis dengan bukti pembanding, bukan satu angka tanpa dasar.
Answer first: what an Indonesian yacht is really worth (and who decides)
A vessel is worth what a documented, funded buyer will pay for it in its actual paper condition — not what the owner spent, and not what a similar hull is asking on a listing site. Asking prices are advertisements; sale prices are evidence. The desk’s valuations are built from evidence: closed national transactions, the vessel’s registry and import status, survey history, and — for working boats — earnings. A valuation that cannot show its comparables is an opinion wearing a suit. The same discipline anchors every listing mandate on the national brokerage desk.
Valuation methods used by the desk
Comparable sales (national data)
The primary method wherever the market is liquid: closed sales of similar class, length, age and paper status across Jakarta, Bali, Batam, Surabaya, Makassar and Labuan Bajo, adjusted for condition and equipment. National reach matters — a liveaboard priced only against Bali listings misreads a market whose buyers sit in three time zones.
Replacement cost minus depreciation
For classes with thin comparable data — one-off builds, unusual timber tonnage — we model what building the vessel today would cost, then depreciate by age, survey findings and refit history. The method sets a ceiling and exposes over-restored hulls whose owners hope to recover every invoice; refits maintain value far more often than they add it.
Income method for ex-charter vessels
Kapal eks charter dinilai juga dari pendapatannya: riwayat okupansi dan tarif terdokumentasi, dikapitalisasi dengan tingkat diskonto yang mencerminkan risiko armada. The income method rewards operators who kept books and punishes those who kept stories — which is exactly as it should be at valuation time.
Depreciation bands by vessel class (fibreglass vs timber)
| Fibreglass motor yachts | Steepest early-years curve, flattening with age; engine hours and osmosis findings move value more than cosmetics. |
|---|---|
| Catamarans & sailing yachts | Moderate curve; rigging age and sail inventory are priced as consumables with known replacement cycles. |
| Timber liveaboards & phinisi | Depreciation tracks docking discipline more than calendar age — a 15-year hull with annual haul-outs can out-value an 8-year hull without them. Proses transaksi kayu punya halaman khusus: jual beli kapal phinisi. |
| Fast boats & speedboats | Hour-meter driven; commercial route history is disclosed and priced, not hidden. |
Appraisal for banks, insurers and estates
Beyond sale pricing, written appraisals serve three formal users. Banks — appraisal kapal untuk agunan atau pembiayaan, where the report must show method, comparables and the appraiser’s independence. Insurers — insurance valuation untuk agreed-value policies, sehingga klaim tidak jatuh ke perdebatan nilai pasar saat kapal sudah hilang. Estates and disputes — pembagian aset, warisan, atau sengketa komersial yang butuh nilai netral tertulis. Each report states its purpose, because a liquidation value and a marketing value are legitimately different numbers.
Valuation vs pre-purchase survey: different jobs, different reports
Apa beda appraisal dan survey kapal? A valuation answers “what is it worth”; a pre-purchase survey answers “what condition is it actually in”. The survey feeds the valuation — moisture readings, engine compression, timber findings all adjust value — but neither replaces the other. A buyer who orders only a valuation buys a number without evidence; a buyer who orders only a survey knows the condition but not the price it justifies. In a brokered purchase the sequence is survey first, valuation adjustment second, then the negotiated figure flows into the escrow milestones.
Order a valuation (deliverables & USD fee)
Deliverables: a written report stating method, comparables, adjustments, paper status and a defensible value range — typically delivered within days of receiving documents and, where commissioned, inspection access. Fees are quoted in USD by vessel class and scope (desktop valuation versus inspected appraisal) and sit separately from brokerage commission — the full fee architecture is on fees and commission. Owners preparing to sell get the valuation folded into the listing process described at sell your yacht in Indonesia.

Frequently asked questions
Apa itu appraisal kapal dan kapan perlu dilakukan?
Appraisal adalah penilaian nilai pasar kapal secara tertulis dengan metode dan bukti pembanding. Diperlukan saat mau menjual, mengajukan pembiayaan bank, menetapkan nilai polis asuransi, membagi aset, atau menyelesaikan sengketa.
Apa beda appraisal dan survey kondisi kapal?
Appraisal menjawab berapa nilai kapal; survey menjawab bagaimana kondisi fisiknya. Temuan survey menjadi input penyesuaian nilai, tetapi keduanya laporan berbeda dengan tujuan berbeda — pembeli yang serius memakai keduanya.
Is a valuation report accepted by Indonesian banks and insurers?
Reports prepared for bank or insurance use state method, comparables and independence, and are structured for that stated purpose. Acceptance criteria vary by institution, so the intended user is named before the work starts and the report is built to that requirement.
Berapa lama proses valuasi kapal dan apa hasil akhirnya?
Valuasi desktop selesai dalam hitungan hari setelah dokumen lengkap; appraisal dengan inspeksi mengikuti jadwal akses kapal. Hasil akhirnya laporan tertulis berisi metode, pembanding, penyesuaian, dan rentang nilai dalam USD.
Does charter history raise or lower resale value?
Documented charter history with maintenance records supports value — it proves the vessel earned and was kept to schedule. Undocumented commercial use lowers it, because the buyer must price the unknown. The paperwork, not the charter itself, decides the direction.
