Berthing facilities throughout the country.
Most of the boats and yachts that we offer are moored at the owner’s location all over the country. You can visit them by appointment and will usually meet the owner in person while you are there. This method makes things crystal clear to you as a buyer, ensuring that most of your questions will be answered. Viewed is always by appointment and ofcourse nice to have some time to make arrangements.

Enkhuizen
If the ship is moored in Enkhuizen, she can be viewed from Monday to Saturday. We recommend to make an appointment by telephone anyway. Our opening hours are on the home page. On all ships we have detailed documentation at our office.

Offers and agreements
If you are interested in the boat you have seen, you can make an offer with the broker. The offer concerns not only price, but also all conditions, such as technical inspection(s) and the delivery period. Resolutive conditions can include: financing, inspection of the ship, inspection of surveys and documents or a trial cruise.
Once we have agreed on the purchase price and the conditions, we will include the agreements in a clear purchase agreement.

After the financing is arranged, you will give a bank guarantee of 10 to 15%, or put a down payment on our escrow account. Should ownership of the yacht be transferred by a Civil-law Notary, you can transfer the down payment into your Public Notary's escrow account. Once this is done we will work our way through the conditions of the agreement one by one. The idea is to make costs in the proper order. No suprise that the last step usually is an inspection of the underwater hull.

In the purchase agreement arrangements can be made in case actual defects are detected during the survey. After detection of defects, the purchase price is likely to be adjusted. If the ship is declared unfit and you do not wish to purchase her anymore, the down payment will be returned, and the purchase will be annulled. In that case the seller pays the yards charges. A buyer pays his/her surveyor in all situations.

As an alternative, you could start with a total pre purchase inspection and a trial cruise, and then make an offer. It could be to your advantage to know all facts before agreeing upon a price. The disadvantage is that you, the buyer, then pays all costs of inspection and slip charges. Also if the purchase doesn''t happen. For larger ships, this approach is usually not very practical.

Once the inspection has passed and you accepted the craft, the remainder of the purchase price had to be paid. At that time the ownership is transferred to you. From this moment, you shoulds insure the ship and enjoy all the fun, as well as the riscs, and the costs.
