Buying a used Moody Yacht. Moody Yacht Surveys.
Having previously worked with this manufacturer and having both sailed, cruised, repaired and surveyed many examples of Moody Yachts we have a unique appreciation and understanding of these vessels and have developed a specialised survey technique for the Moody build.
We have recently carried out pre purchase surveys, insurance surveys and damage assessment and repair surveys on many examples of the Moody range including …
Moody 27, Moody 29, Moody 30, Moody 31, Moody 33, Moody Eclipse 33, Moody 336, Moody 346, Moody 37, Moody 376, Moody 35, Moody 38, Moody 40, Moody 42, Moody 44, Moody 46, Moody 47, Moody 49, Moody 54, Moody Halberdier, Moody Grenadier, Moody Carbineer, and probably several more.

Preparing a vessel for the first time to MCA charter code standards can be a confusing and complicated task. Its all too easy to buy incorrect equipment and gear, and you don’t want your boat to look like a hire boat and then you have to go through and pass survey.
But if you are familiar with the code and the requirements for your type of vessel its actually straight forward and much of it is common boating safety sense.
At Boatcare Yacht Surveys we like to do it a bit differently, we do it right and right first time. We will visit your boat and working with you prepare a detailed list of the requirements specific to your vessel for code compliance and we will explain the required paperwork and documentation. When you have completed the work/equipment list we will revisit the boat and carry out a formal Survey for compliance.
One fee. One person to deal with. As much help as you need.
For full details give us a call or visit http://www.boatcareyachtsurveys.co.uk/charter-coding-boat-certification-boatcare-yacht-surveys.htm

When you are buying a used or brokege yacht or motor boat here in the UK you may find that it can be rather hard work to spend you hard earned cash on you dream boat.
Buying any boat is a big decision and is probably the second biggest personal outlay you will ever make. It’s a major decision, and bluntly, when buying a used boat YOU’RE ON YOUR OWN.
Remember: “Buyer Beware”.
“Caveat Emptor”. The axiom or principle in commerce that the buyer alone is responsible for assessing the quality of a purchase before buying. When buying a used boat there are no warranties or guarantees. How do you know…
- That the boat is even what the advert states?
- That the boat is fit for the purpose?
- That the boat is undamaged?
- That the boat is safe, sound or seaworthy?
- That the engines are serviceable?
- That the rig is safe?
- That the boat will provide good service without huge repair costs?
- That your investment is justified; are you paying too much, or too little?
If there are problems your only recourse is pursuit of the vendor through the courts; which can be a long and costly procedure with unknown results.
Almost everyone you will deal with in choosing and selecting your boat will be working for the vendor. Brokers, advertisers, agents, agencies, the helpfull guy on the marina – are all paid buy the vendor.
If you use a broker make sure they are professional, use a recognized form of contract (for example RYA/BMIF/ABYA if in the UK) and that your deposit is secure and returnable. In the United Kingdom, look for membership of the ABYA (the Professional Association of Yacht Brokers) and or the BMIF Boat Retailers/Brokers Scheme, which ensures a high ethical standard and established code of practice, correct paperwork and indemnity insurance.

or call Boatcare Yacht Surveys on 02380 454498 or email us and we will be happy to help.
