Re: Importing a Boat to Australia

Mr Google says as of July last year they only insure boats over $1m, unless you're an existing client.
Have you heard anything like this?
I'm going to ask them for a quote anyway.

Re: Importing a Boat to Australia

Hi Simon,
I got a very quick response from Edward William and a reasonable quote.

Then I googled Northern Reef and found some very negative stuff, although to be fair a lot of it appears to be...

You've gotta love this cruising family... :thumb:

Panteaneus gave me a reasonable quote back in the Caymans last...

Re: Importing a Boat to Australia

I know this is probably a weird way of getting to the right members for what I'm looking for but it works, so far.

I'm trying to find insurance for the boat that will give cover, including the...

Re: Importing a Boat to Australia

Hi Jim,

Good to hear from you.

What you're saying makes a lot of sense. In the past I haven't got anywhere with trying to load OpenCPN onto my computer, but I'm going to have another...

Re: Importing a Boat to Australia

Jimbo, We're in Chesapeake Bay at the moment trying to get the boatwork done. The plan is to sail down to the Caribbean when we get a good weather window in early March. Panama in May, Aus around...

Re: Importing a Boat to Australia

Thanks.
I've noticed the Navionics charts still have the beige and blue outline in the adjoing areas where the detail the chip covers, ends. You can even put waypoints on it, so if you're just...

Re: Importing a Boat to Australia

I took a look at the website. It looks like good value for money. Unfortunately the guy is off line for 3 weeks so I can't ask him questions at the moment.
Where do you get CM93 maps, are they...

What is C Map? Is it something you can use in a chartplotter or do you use it on a laptop?

Re: Importing a Boat to Australia

I know this is an old thread, but it has quite a few members who have sailed from Panama to Australia so I thought I'd be smart and tap into that particular group.:dork:

I vaguely remember MarkJ having big delays with the French side, getting all the right papers or something, and then sending incomplete stuff and having to wait before being told he needed more....

Re: Importing a Boat to Australia

I think the situation is clear to all, and Factor summed it up succintly.

The brokerage fee will have GST charged on it, but that is of absolutely no interest to the buyer because it's a service...

Re: Importing a Boat to Australia

VAT would only need to be paid if you were imp[orting the boat into Euro based countries
Totally irrelevant bringing it to Aus.

Re: Importing a Boat to Australia

I don't think it's illegal if you're a full time cruiser and keep moving.

Re: Importing a Boat to Australia

Why on earth are you assuming that a different strategy is an illegal one?

Re: Importing a Boat to Australia
