Built to help buyers make clearer boat decisions.
CYR Marine is an independent buyer-side boat platform operated in the UK by founder Clive Wilkins, sole trader, trading as CYR Marine. CYR Marine is a Wilkins AI Labs product.
CYR does not sell boats, receive sales commission from the buyer journey, contact a broker without the buyer's approval, or replace a qualified marine surveyor, engineer or lawyer.
The purpose is narrower and practical: help a buyer organise a brief, assess genuine adverts, compare alternatives, identify missing evidence, prepare for a viewing and decide whether a boat is worth taking to the next stage.
Why CYR exists
Boat marketplaces are very good at showing inventory. They are not designed to sit on the buyer's side and explain why one boat may be a stronger or weaker decision than another.
CYR is being built around that gap: Find → Check → Compare → View → Negotiate → Survey → Buy, followed by ownership continuity through the Yacht Passport and related tools.
Founder and accountability
Founder: Clive Wilkins.
Operator: Clive Wilkins, sole trader, trading as CYR Marine.
Product identity: CYR Marine, a Wilkins AI Labs product.

CYR does not present the founder as a marine surveyor, naval architect, broker, engineer or legal adviser. Where a decision requires professional inspection or specialist advice, the platform should make that boundary explicit.
What the early launch means
CYR is an early public service. The current launch is intentionally transparent about its limits rather than presenting launch-stage coverage as mature market scale.
- Inventory coverage is curated and not the whole market.
- Advert checks are only as strong as the evidence available from the listing and material supplied by the buyer.
- Comparable asking prices are decision-support evidence, not a formal valuation.
- Cost exposure figures are planning ranges and assumptions, not quotations or guarantees.
- Risk flags identify questions and evidence gaps; they do not diagnose physical condition.
Read how CYR reaches its conclusions and where the limits are.
Evidence, not invented proof
CYR will publish genuine usage evidence, anonymised examples and customer outcomes as they become available. It will not manufacture testimonials, inflate check volumes, claim unsupported accuracy rates or imply third-party endorsement that does not exist.
The current full sample Pre-Survey Intelligence Report is provided so buyers can judge the structure and level of reasoning before requesting paid work.
