I’m looking to buy my first boat what should I be aware of?
Boating can bring huge enjoyment. There is of course lots to think about beyond just the purchase of your boat. You will need to think about somewhere to moor, ongoing maintenance and insurance before you even think about the right type of boat and the paperwork that you should have for the boat you are buying. Our experienced team will happily discuss all of this with you.
I have found a boat I like, what is the process to buy it?
Typically if buying through a yacht broker step one is to make an offer. This can be subject to various conditions such as full survey and trial. You will usually be asked to pay a 10% deposit and sign an agreement for sale and purchase. The boat is then taken off the market for you to carry out the survey and trails. Once you are happy, the balance is payable and the broker will arrange the Bill of Sale and conduct a handover. Then you are ready to go boating!
