How we check a boat

Before acquiring a vessel located around ACI Marina Cres, it is important to verify the seller’s identity and confirm their authority to offer the yacht for sale.

Where possible, maintenance records ought to be reviewed to gain an understanding of the boat’s condition over time. An independent survey is recommended to assess structural integrity and systems, suited to the specific type and age of the craft.

Depending on the vessel’s flag, ownership history, and the nature of the transaction, additional checks may be appropriate. These could include a haul-out for hull inspection or a sea trial to evaluate performance and handling. Such assessments contribute valuable information about the boat’s suitability and current status but will vary in scope according to each case.

When ownership, VAT, customs, or registration matters are unclear, it is advisable to seek qualified professional advice. This is especially pertinent with vessels in international waters or with complex ownership arrangements.

Costs, documents and transfer of ownership

Before completing a yacht purchase near ACI Marina Cres, it is advisable to consider several cost and document categories.

It is important to recognise that all such requirements and costs vary depending on the boat’s flag, ownership structure, and local regulations, and professional advice suitable to each individual case is recommended before completing any transaction.
