Trust & methodology

How GetBoat Advice is created and maintained

Our standards for authorship, evidence, commercial transparency, corrections and high-stakes yacht decisions.

Published by GetBoat Advisory · Last substantive update

Who publishes it

GetBoat Advisory is the editorial desk of GetBoat, a yacht charter and sale marketplace. It is an organizational byline, not the name of an individual broker, surveyor, lawyer, tax adviser, insurer or lender.

GetBoat is responsible for the copy published under that byline. When a future guide has a named specialist author or reviewer, the page and its structured data must identify that person separately and accurately.

Editorial principles

What every guide must do

01

Useful before searchable

Every guide begins with a real buyer or owner decision. We choose scope, structure and examples for someone making that decision — not to manufacture pages around keyword variants.

02

Evidence has a label

GetBoat catalog observations are identified as market data. General operating guidance is kept separate from jurisdiction-specific legal, tax, credit, insurance and survey conclusions.

03

Limits stay visible

We do not turn an indicative process into a promise. Where the answer depends on a yacht, provider or jurisdiction, the guide says so and directs the reader to an appropriately qualified professional.

04

Dates mean real changes

The updated date changes only after a substantive edit to guidance, structured data or material links. A copyright rollover or cosmetic change does not make an article “new”.

How a guide is made

We define the reader, the decision and the evidence that could change it. The draft is then organized into takeaways, decision steps, a practical checklist and questions that expose common uncertainty. Claims that depend on current rules should be checked against primary or official sources before publication.

Drafting, editing, quality checks and content maintenance may use software and automated assistance. Automation does not create a credential, approve a loan, inspect a yacht or replace a qualified professional; GetBoat remains responsible for the published result.

Before release, automated contracts verify unique URLs, category coverage, article structure, canonical metadata, visible authorship, dates, structured data, sitemap freshness and live rendering. Production deployment stops if those checks fail.

Commercial context

GetBoat Advice links to GetBoat listings, yacht sale price estimate (SPE), market intelligence and finance lead forms. These are commercial services and are presented as optional next steps. A link or call to action is not a recommendation to complete a transaction and does not turn general information into individual advice.

Yacht finance pages collect information so an individual proposal can be considered. GetBoat does not promise approval, price or terms in editorial content.

Corrections

Tell us when something needs attention

Send the article URL, the statement in question and supporting evidence. We review material corrections and update the visible date only when the published guidance changes substantively.
