Episode 2 – season 1 Sailing with Thomas around the world
This episode is the second in the new series (The beginning) from sailing around the world in a Owners version Bavaria 55 Cruiser bought in Trogir Croatia. This is a one owner boat and with great help from a very helpful broker this went super smooth.
This episode is about an overnight sea trial of the Bavaria 55 Cruiser before purchase. Normal prosedyre is to place an offer, then inspect the yacht and later have a survey and a sea trial. I`m not payed or having any benefits what so ever regarding the broker or Boatshed. I am only sharing my opinion. Buying a boat abroad is a risky business, and It is important to find the broker you can trust. In my case I met a broker from the Boatshed network and he took me out for a beer and I even met his family and friends while staying in Split. He was very honest and I felt I could trust him. But how it would go after I had payed the deposit? Well, he continued to follow up and kept his promises. I think we together made a speed record in buying, deleting from ship register, get all the doc`s and having all the information and help needed towards a new registration in a new ship register. Also the previous owner turned out to be a gentleman and kept his word and helped out. So all together this has been nothing else than a very pleasant and good experience. There is a lot that can go wrong when buying a boat abroad but this went well.
Normally a sea trial is only a few hours but this lasted more than 24 hours. The thing is the boat needed to go out of the country for 24 hours due to the fact is was owned by a non croatian or EC citizen and to have 18 new months in the country the boat need a stamp in the documents and been outside EC and back.
A special thanks goes to Andrey and Dennis who joined me and took time of from their families.
