Buyer Resources
The people and paperwork between "I found her" and "she's mine". These are reputable industry directories and providers — we have no paid partnerships; do your own diligence.
Marine surveyors
Never buy without a survey. Both directories list accredited surveyors by region.
Boat transport
Get quotes for overland or delivery-crew transport before committing to a distant boat.
Insurance
Insurers usually want a recent survey for older boats — line these up together.
Financing
Marine lenders finance older sailboats that regular banks often will not.
Documentation & registration
Verify the HIN and title before money moves.
