You will be subject to VAT dependent on which country you arrive in first. in some countries it is 22%.

You will also need to get CE approval (much more difficult) dont remember the exact procedure but some boat manufacturers are set up for this and others arent,

If your boat is going to be part of the business, it will be subject to further requirements (again depending on country)

EU was supposed to be about open borders etc, but a number of countries seem to be ignoring that regarding boats and find additional ways to raise revenue. The greeks seem to have different rules in different harbours.
