Boat Buying or Selling Online
Most of the steps for successfully buying or selling a boat can be carried out online.
This is even more appropriate while we are experiencing the restrictions of the Coronavirus pandemic.
In addition to our Yacht Delivery and Tuition Services we are able to provide expert assistance to clients for Boat Buying and Selling.
Over the past 15 years our sister company Absea Ventures Ltd has been engaged in operating its own and other yacht charter boats.
This has also given us extensive knowledge of the factors involved in Buying and Selling a large variety of different types of vessels.
It has also allowed us to get to know the good professionals in the leisure marine industry.
However we are not Yacht Brokers and do not charge commission on sales or purchases.
We simply charge a fee to access our password protected membership site where we cover the essential steps needed to make a succesful sale or purchase.
The information and assistance covers help both from the Buyers and the Sellers point of view.
It ranges from Boat Details to Sale and Purchase agreements, payment arrangements and covers documents, VAT and the other important factors involved. The only aspects that are difficult to carry out online are Viewings, Sea-trials and Surveys.
Anyone buying or Selling a vessel will have to consider some or all of the following factors.
We offer access and help to many of them in a knowledgeable but impartial way.
