I have been thinking about buying an ex charter boat in Croatia for commercial use in europe, but some people have said the jenny/benny etc in croatia dont get a ce plate or certificate, does anyone know if this is true?
Cheers

Re: Boats croatia CE certificate? do they get one?
I was reading elsewhere and someone was saying that the croatian jennys etc did not have them as they were out of the EU, my boat came from the bvis, and had one, but it was British flagged so who knows. You still up in foz boatman? got some friends, boatie people moved to alvaiziere near tomar not far from you, gonna head up there next weekend and pay them a visit.

Re: Boats croatia CE certificate? do they get one?
The problem , if there is one, is that croatia is only recently part of the eu, The boats i am looking at are 10 years old, so sold in croatia when not part of the eu, maybe i will email some brokers there and ask, was hoping some people on here who had bought from croatia would know,but yeah it sounds a bit hogwash to me, but it might be true!
My wifes whineing as we got several ground frosts, kind of unheard of down in the algarve, killed a lot of her veggies, snow up your way recently?

Re: Boats croatia CE certificate? do they get one?
Our 2003 Fountaine Pajot Athena purchased new for charter in Croatia has a a CE mark. The regulations require that certain products (including recreational craft) 'placed on the market in the EU' must be CE marked. That includes selling to agents as well as end users.

Re: Boats croatia CE certificate? do they get one?
Any EU built boat will have a CE certificate regardless of where it has been kept. The builder of a boat doesn't actually have to be within the EU to build to CE certificate standards but any boat destined to be sold in the EU must have this certificate.
Any charter boat in Croatia will be CE certificated and I believe whilst Croatia only joined the EU a couple of years ago even Salona Yachts (Croatian built) have CE certificates.
If you are not sure then best to contact the dealer and ask to see the CE certificate for the boat you are interested in. If they say they don't have it then walk away.

Re: Boats croatia CE certificate? do they get one?
A CE boat should have a CE mark placed on the vessel and be supplied with a EC Declaration of Conformity although the latter is likely to have gone astray not that it matters. Placing the mark means that either the EU manufacturer or the EU distributor (for stuff manufactured outside the EU) has done the assessment of compliance and created the necessary technical file. All the buyer needs to do is verify that there is a CE mark on the vessel and ideally the declaration of conformity.

Re: Boats croatia CE certificate? do they get one?
Any boat can apply to be CE marked. I put a 1973 Pearson 36-1 through a PostConstruction Assessment survey, got a CE plaque for the whole boat and a RCD rating "A".
Was less than 2500 euros including repairing the "defects", adding a second lifeline, gaskets to the cockpit hatches, etc.

Re: Boats croatia CE certificate? do they get one?
I Bought a Beneteau 473 , ex charter in Croatia in 2006 - before Croatia was in the E.U.- the boat was and is C E rated - I would think that any production boats built in Europe would have to be C E rated from a sales point of view .

Re: Boats croatia CE certificate? do they get one?
My 1998 Jeanneau Sun Odyssey 45.2, bought new by the PO for delivery in upstate NY (via Montreal) has a CE plate with the number XXXXX'd out.
I never asked but assume it had to do with some of the changes made to "North-American-ize" the boat - perhaps wiring (shore power, interior outlets, water 120V heater, relocation of the ELCI from the nav station panel to within 10' of the entry, who knows what else). Or perhaps even something(s) that was/were left out as unnecessary for a N.A. version. It's not obvious what was done at the factory vs the dealer (except for some of the shoddy bits that I know were the dealer).

Re: Boats croatia CE certificate? do they get one?
Apologies for being late on this one. If you’re buying a 10 year old boat in the EU, constructed outside the EU, does it HAVE to have a CE certificate? Clearly, it’s in my interest that it does, but it doesn’t. Is the broker legally allowed to sell it?
A tangential question... does having a CE certificate make any difference to insurance or (way more importantly) claiming on insurance, in the event of some accident.
Much appreciated chaps :-)
