I've seen a boat in Palma that on paper looks like it will tick all the boxes for our next upgrade.
What is the proper process to purchase from there? Who's the best to transport the boat back to the UK? What's the best way to transfer funds and get the best rate of exchange? Any recommended surveyors out there?
I take it the import duty will be 20%? And how and when does this get paid? Do I pay once imported or before?
All helpful tips and experiences will be welcomed. Thanks.
Don't know whether you're still interested, but I've just had a quote to move my 30 footer from Palma to Southampton by sea. 7000 euros all in and no need to dismantle radar arch etc, they provide cradle, load/unload etc. Seems reasonable. SevenStar Boat Transport.
