Seems too good to be true for me.
The brokers answers are a little bit strange in my mind. They want prepayment for the boat + transport. There is no possibility to inspect the boat in person (Covid is perfect excuse for them). They do not give any previous customers contacts etc...

I'm quite positive now it's a fake brokerage although mr Lukas emphasized many times that they are in business since 2007 and have only happy customers .
If any UK citizen reads this and agrees with me, maybe its worth to start investigation...

This fish smells rotten all the way here in Canada... STAY AWAY!!!!

A person has given an account on a radio talk show in Ireland (called "Liveline" on RTE radio1) of how they were defrauded by someone using the company name Geolamaritime. It has been acknowledged by the bank that the person has been a victim of a scam . Seemingly the scammers are using dormant companies and offering items at bargain prices.

Don’t waste time with such ‘deal’. It sounds like fraud.
