Looking for AGENT in Guatemala

Purchasing a vessel in Rio Dulce Guatemala, need a trusted Agent for registration. Also could use a referral for a Surveyor in Guatemala. Thanks abunch, Dave

Re: Looking for AGENT in Guatemala

For any aspect of the transaction that falls under related Guatemalan law then Raul Morales (Servimar) is an excellent agent in Livingston. FB page with contact info:

However, Raul cannot help you with aspects of the tranascation that fall outside of Guatemala, such as transfering registration from/to another country. There are loads of USA based agents who can handle whatever ownership/registration transfer you need to make, regardless of countries involved, but I dont have a current recommendation.

Captain John can help you with the survey: https://www.riodulcemarina.com/wordpress/


Where is the vessel currently registered and where do you plan to register it after purchase?

I just sent you all the contacts you requested via PM, Raul has already been pointed out. Let me know if you have any further questions I have purchased and refitted my vessel in Rio over the last 18 months and learned many a costly lesson.

I was based on the Rio for many years.

What do you mean by "get involved"?

I guess most things involved with boat research & purchase, viewing facilities, surveyor, accommodation, getting to Rio etc.

Having said that, Facebook and NoForeignLand have been useful....
