Thinking of buying a Yacht and sailing the Greek Islands. Take a Peek!

IS NOW A GOOD TIME TO BUY A YACHT IN GREECE?

The world has never been more uncertain, 2020 has been a washing machine of emotions and a mental earthquake that’s cracked our sense of safety, security, and freedom wide open. 

It’s all caused a bit of a stir.  Some people are experiencing an awakening and an invigorated motivation to make their dream life happen.  Others were well underway towards their goal and are now questioning if they should proceed forward.

At this point, if you’re not already living your dream lifestyle, you’re probably asking yourself “why not?”.  And if you aren’t, you should be because it seems good news is maybe on the way with Vaccine hopes, a Brexit deal and a new President in the US. 

Yes, travel and International travel are still heavily restricted, but over the next few months things should ease and you can start searching for your dream Yacht and embarking on your dream adventure of Cruising the Greek Islands and beyond.

Yacht Insurance Survey - Marine Survey for Insurance

Insurance Survey 

When you want to insure a boat, or have to renew an existing policy, your insurance company will need an Insurance Survey in order to determine its insurability for the intended use. This type of survey is often referred to as a Condition and Valuation Survey. The scope of an Insurance Survey approaches a Pre-Purchase Survey, but its focus is on structural integrity and safety and it is less detailed. An assessment of the boat's Fair Market Value is part of this type of survey. 

An Insurance Survey requires several hours, depending on the complexity and condition of the boat. My survey report is similar to a report for a Pre-Purchase Survey, but somewhat less detailed.

Pre-Purchase survey / Insurance Survey in Leros Marina Greece

Im back in Leros for a few days to carry out another local Pre-Purchase Survey on this Gibsea 38 Ketch. Lots of boats ashore because of the Covid and travel restriction's! 

Leros is one of the Dodecanese Islands in the South East Aegean Sea. It is famed for its deep, secluded natural bays, mountainous scenery and history rooted in its role as a key medieval port. Its marina is set against a massive cliff 50m high to the north east of the Lakki Natural Harbour. It offers a dry dock area for 800 yachts, yacht maintenance and 24 hour security. 

Dutch steel- what can you say!
