A boat can carry a retention of title, a seizure order or unpaid berthing fees. We check ownership and charges before you hand over a deposit, and if anything turns up you get it in writing.
The headaches of buying
or selling a boat.
Sorted out by us. One point of contact, with the surveyors, engineers, lawyers and agents each case needs standing behind them.
Problems we solve
What usually derails a sale.
These are the cases we come across every week. If you recognise yours, you know what to talk to us about.
The registry list governs what the boat may be used for and what tax it attracts. We handle the change of list, the flagging and the registration, and tell you up front what it costs and how long it takes.
It depends on where the boat is, who is selling it and what you will use it for. We work it out before signing, so the price you negotiate is the price you pay.
Transport by road, by ship or on her own bottom, with the paperwork in order, plus customs and duties if she is coming from outside the EU. We coordinate it door to door.
Sale contract, conditions tied to the outcome of the inspection, secure payment and transfer of ownership. With a lawyer when the case calls for one.
It is nearly always price, presentation or missing information. We value it against real comparables, produce the photo feature and document the condition: a listing that answers questions sells sooner.
We study comparable boats and the real condition of yours, and give you a valuation that shows its working, so you can defend it across the table.
We travel to any island. We go, inspect the boat, photograph it and tell you what is there, with pictures and readings, before you get on a plane.
