Buying a Boat is a Boat-Lover’s dream.
Your passion for the water drives boat buying, but it’s crucial to secure the right legal advice before taking the plunge. At Vaarzon-Morel Maritime Lawyers, we ensure your vessel acquisition is smooth and secure.
Every boat purchase begins with a crucial pre-purchase survey by a qualified marine surveyor. This report, often paired with a marine engineer report on the engine, provides vital insights into the boat’s condition and serves as a powerful negotiation tool.
Considering an overseas boat purchase? We expertly navigate the complexities of international boat shipping, customs duties, and import taxes, ensuring no nasty surprises. Our team can also verify overseas brokers for your peace of mind.
Buying a boat isn’t like buying a house. Protect yourself from devastating issues like non-delivery or ownership disputes with a well-drafted boat purchase contract.
Post-purchase, we guide you through vessel ownership transfer and boat registration. We also advise on commercial registration, charter party agreements, boat share agreements, and marine insurance to fit your specific needs.
Our specialized maritime lawyers possess the deep knowledge of the maritime world required for confident boat buying. Vaarzon-Morel Maritime Lawyers helps you minimize costs and buy your boat with confidence, regardless of its size.
