The condition or level of safety equipment on board is not to be negotiated on following survey. It is likely to be listed by most surveyors but is not structural or an integral working part of the vessel and is not to be used to further negotiate the price down after survey. We strongly suggest that for your own personal safety that when purchasing a yacht you provide new safety equipment rather than relying on second hand gear.

Should you become the new owner of this yacht then the responsibility to re-register or update official bodies for items such as EPIRB, VHF, MMSI or AIS becomes yours.

Note: - VAT status - Yacht was located in Guernsey outside the EU on 31st December 2020 (on route to the UK) in the current British ownership.  This is why she is being marketed as EU Vat not paid although she had a clear VAT paid status and the invoices are available.  This of course makes no difference to a buyer from outside the EU or to an EU buyer intending to place her on a ‘commercial footing’.
