Boats for sale

Croatia Yacht Charter is a renowned Croatia broker agency, specialised in both yacht purchase and trade. Due to our experience we provide our clients with best service and reliable guidance through the process of buying and selling boats, new and used ones, motor or sailing yachts.

If you are buying a boat, our brokers will find you the offers that meet your requirements the best. They will accompany you to test drives, help you with the paperwork and guide you through the entire process.

If you are selling your boat, a broker already has a data base of potential buyers who might be interested in buying a boat just like the one you’re selling. The broker will also take care of advertising, communicate with potential buyers and place your boat in the market. There are many reasons why you should hire a broker to help you buy or sell a boat, and one of the most important is that these are well connected professionals who know the market. Browse through our offer of motor yachts, sailboats, catamarans and motor sailers for sale, and if you don’t find anything you like, fill out our purchase enquiry and contact us.

Pay attention to our Special Offer for buying Bavaria and Jeanneau vessels – we give you one week charter free if you decide to buy the boat you chartered through our agency.

SPECIAL OFFER – one week free charter!

If you decide to buy a boat through Croatia Yacht Charter, we have a special offer for you! If you decide to buy the model you chartered, we will deduct the charter price from the sale price, giving you a week of free charter!* This special offer includes all Jeanneau and Bavaria vessels, motor yachts and sailing boats.

If you already know which model you want to buy, charter her for a week to introduce yourself to her abilities and performance. On the other hand, if you are not completely certain about which model you want, charter is a great opportunity to try some boats out.

If we have in our charter offer a Jeanneau or Bavaria model that you are interested in buying, we invite you to charter the boat with us, try her out and than use our broker service to buy the boat, and we will deduct the price you paid for charter from the sale price, giving you a week charter completely free!

Feel free to contact us for all additional information.

* It is possible that the boat you buy and charter are not the same particular boat, but it must be the same model.

If you are buying a boat…

… we will provide you with complete and precise information about the boat you are interested in. If you don’t find a vessel that might be suitable for you on our web sites, don’t hesitate to contact us anyway. Tell us what kind of vessel you are looking for and our brokers will try to make you some interesting offers.

If you’re selling a boat…

… our brokers will make the whole process as easy and simple as possible, keeping your interests in mind the whole time. They will create a marketing plan, and the first step is to define the advertising strategy which will achieve maximum results and attract the most interested clientele.

Choose the right boat

New or used? Diesel or gasoline? Inboard or outboard engine?

These are only three of many important decisions you’ll have to make if you decide to buy a boat. You’ll also have to decide where and how you’re going to use her – for family weekends, sailing along the coast, sports, long journeys or even living on board. Regardless what your intentions are, these few lines should help you choose the right model.

• The Mediterranean

Yacht Charter Croatia

Whether it is the more than 1,000 islands and secluded bays that beckon to you or the east-meets-west luxury of the Dalmatian Coast that’s calling you, Croatia is one of the most popular yacht charter destinations in the Eastern Mediterranean.

You’ll benefit from the fact that Croatia has become increasingly popular amongst the yacht crowd as many new beach clubs and restaurants have popped up. The beautiful coastline now is a charter lifestyle to rival the French Riviera. Split, Dubrovnik, Hvar, and Brac are just a few of the hot spots worth stepping ashore for on a Croatia luxury yacht rental. Along with its cosmopolitan offerings, the southern coast harbors glorious remnants of the past – Roman, Venetian, and Austrian influences ooze from the architecture and cuisine. The heritage is evident wherever you cruise.

During your Croatia superyacht charter, when you do choose to step ashore from your floating paradise, there are plenty of cobble-stoned streets and ancient promenades to enjoy. If you want to see from your yacht and not be seen, the Dalmatian Coast is for you. It is a place to simply sit back, relax, and just be on the water. Sailing from Dubrovnik north to Split, the southern Dalmatian Coast harbors a hotchpotch of cultures. Discover the Roman ruins and historical sites from Venetian and Ottoman chapters in the history of this region’s past. When the yacht cruises further north, be sure to tender ashore to some of the stunning Kornati archipelago’s chain of islands with unspoiled beaches and shallow bays.

Best Places to Charter in Croatia

Best places to go on a charter yacht in Croatia:

• Mljet Island : Known for its unspoiled nature
• Hvar Island : A hotspot for the jet set, offering vibrant nightlife
• Paklinski Islands : Ideal for unwinding after an active day
• Dubrovnik, Trogir, Pula, Rovinj, Split, Korčula, Brač : These cities are unmissable stops for superyacht charters
• Krka National Park : This protected area boasts spectacular natural scenery, wildlife, and historic sites
• Šolta : Close to Split, Šolta offers tranquil promenades leading to secret beaches

The waters that lap the Dalmatian Coast and its 1,100 islands are warm and inviting. You will be spoiled for choice by the myriad of islands, some of which are very well-established – Brac, Hvar and Korčula being the most popular. But discovering their smaller neighbors, which remain quiet, provides you with a world away from the bustling waterfronts when renting a yacht in Croatia. And then there are the fashionable walled cities of Dubrovnik and Split, both offering stunning sights that you simply cannot miss. Here, when you do choose to disembark and head ashore, you can experience urban city centers surrounded by ancient walled fortresses. Dine at lavish restaurants, spend some time shopping in both the small markets and high-end establishments and, if the mood strikes, grab cocktails at some of the area’s coolest spots to round out an exceptional Croatia yacht charter.

Superyachts for charter in Croatia

Size of yacht in croatia.

If you are chartering in Croatia, you have a choice of crewed yachts from 20 meters (65ft) to over 60 meters (200ft) in length. The luxury yachts available range from classic motor yachts to modern speedboats, sailboats, catamarans, and even hybrid vessels that combine the best of both styles. You can choose a charter based on your level of comfort and amenities, as well as the size, style, and capacity of the yacht.

Type of Superyacht for Croatia

At Northrop & Johnson, we have multiple options for your yacht charter holiday in Croatia. Our charter brokers in Croatia can advise on renting a motor yacht, sailing, yacht, or catamaran to some of the charter hotspots on the Dalmatian Coast for a week or 2 weeks.

The speed of these yachts allows for quick exploration of various islands and coastlines, and their design enables access to shallow waters, broadening exploration possibilities. Chartering a motor yacht in Croatia also provides a cultural experience, allowing you to engage with local traditions along the Croatian coast, with extreme flexibility of itinerary that comes with yacht chartering can provide unique and memorable experiences.

One-way charters offer varying scenery, while off-peak sailing can be cost-effective. The luxury and comfort aboard ensure a memorable stay in the Eastern Med.

Finally, for those who wish to explore the Dalmatian coastline while maintaining a sense of privacy, a catamaran could be the ideal option. Chartering a catamaran in Croatia offers a distinctive and pleasurable sailing experience due to its stability, increased space, and speed. Its shallow draft allows access to areas other vessels can’t reach, enhancing exploration opportunities. Catamarans provide privacy with separate living quarters, panoramic views, and safety. Additionally, their fuel efficiency could lead to cost savings if you are chartering a boat to explore all the islands. A catamaran charter can blend comfort, performance, and adventure tailored to your preferences.

In addition to the base charter rate, there is a fee called the advanced provisioning allowance, or APA, which is typically around 10% of the total charter cost.

Luxury Croatia Yacht Charter

Destinations  >  Regions  >  Mediterranean  > Croatia

Set at the heart of the Adriatic, Croatia is growing in popularity as the destination of choice for many, making a luxury yacht charter in Croatia the perfect holiday getaway for those looking to discover this stunning location.

Often included in a wider itinerary taking in Montenegro to the south and Venice to the north, Croatia is the perfect addition to any luxury yacht charter in the Mediterranean . The picturesque coastline is dotted with ancient walled cities and idyllic bays in which to drop anchor. Cruise along the 2,000km of coastline during your luxury Croatia yacht rental and hop between multiple islands, of which there are more than 1,000. The pace of life is gentle and slow, with a fascinating cultural mix and abundant natural beauty, with remote island beaches which will have you believe you have been transported to the Caribbean.

The Dalmatia region to the south of Croatia has a rugged and mountainous landscape with rocky, dove-grey cliffs and green-blue waters interspersed with ancient trading ports.

To the north, as you move closer to the border with Italy, where you will discover a cultivated ambiance with cultural and historical influence from the neighbouring country. The Kvarner Gulf in central Croatia combines many of the attractions in the south with those of the north; the busy port city of Rijeka has a distinct buzz and more modern vibe while the islands to the south are more sparsely populated and undeveloped.

Frequently Asked Questions(FAQ)

What kind of experiences are there to enjoy on a luxury yacht charter in croatia.

George Bernard Shaw said: “Those who seek paradise on earth should come to Dubrovnik.” The old fortified town, which dates back to the 7th century, is charming and the perfect place to watch the world go by. There is a wide variety of shops, restaurants and quaint cobbled alleyways to explore. Each year, a popular classical music festival comes to Dubrovnik in the summer, with alfresco performances.

Take a trip in the cable car up to Mount Srd, in the hills behind Dubrovnik, to enjoy panoramic views of the stunning coastline. The natural beauty of the Elaphite Islands near Dubrovnik is unmatched. There are no cars, few people and lush green landscapes surrounded by white sand beaches. Most of the islands are uninhabited and cruising yachts can make the most of this peaceful paradise as land-locked tourists are restricted to visiting by ferry timetables.

Volosko is a small fishing village that has become the epicentre of Croatian gastronomy, although it remains less touristy than other towns along the coast. A selection of the Adriatic’s finest restaurants are packed into the village with plenty of seafood and local produce appearing on the menus.

Istria is growing in popularity as a destination for those on a luxury yacht charter in Croatia, but still remains a quieter alternative to Dubrovnik with its increasing stream of visitors. The Roman port town of Pula dates back to 46BC, with many fascinating ruins open for tours. The gladiatorial amphitheatre is now a cultural centre, as the setting for open-air concerts throughout the summer season. Take in Pula’s Art Nouveau covered market and see locals go about their daily shopping chores, or wander the ancient streets before taking a coffee in the main square overlooking the former Roman Forum and Temple of Augustus.

Split, a coastal city built on the ruins of a third-century Roman palace, is a bustling hive of activity on the otherwise peaceful Southern Dalmatian coast. The second largest city in Croatia, Split is renowned for its café culture and profusion of historical sites from Roman, Venetian and Austrian occupation over the centuries. Take a trip to the famous luminescent Blue Cave on the island of Bisevo, anchoring nearby the night before to enjoy this natural wonder before the tourist hordes arrive.

Rent a yacht in Croatia: When is the best time for a Croatia yacht rental?

The main yacht charter season in Croatia falls between June and October. Average temperatures in Croatia range between highs of approximately 26C (79F) in June to 29C (84F) in August. The sea temperature in June is usually around 22C (72F), peaking to 25C (77F) in August.

Where can you visit on a luxury Croatia yacht charter?

Croatia’s coastline is beautifully laid out for a varied but relaxing superyacht charter, with over 1,000 islands to visit and a number of fascinating and historically important cities to take in. Istria in the north is a great place to take in cultural highlights such as music festivals and the city’s ancient Roman ruins.

Dubrovnik is Croatia’s busiest coastal city, with increasing numbers of tourists flocking to the fortified port; avoiding the crowds by visiting on a superyacht gives guests the opportunity to dip in and out of the action without being overwhelmed.

Split to the south is a bustling city in the otherwise more remote region of Dalmatia to the south of Croatia. Take your luxury yacht into the port to experience the unique cultural mix left by centuries of foreign rule, then hoist the anchors and head out to the quieter neighbouring islands for some relaxation time, or south towards the stunning Bay of Kotor near the border with Montenegro.

What are the major yachting ports in Croatia?

With no superyacht marina in central Dubrovnik,  most luxury yacht charter in Croatia tend to drop anchor outside the harbour instead. Alternatively, the nearby superyacht marina in Komolac that has a capacity for large yachts up to 60 metres.

Split has a superyacht marina in the heart of the city that is able to dock superyachts of up to 60 metres. Pula’s marina accommodates superyachts up to 40 metres in length, with current renovations taking this up to 60 metres’ capacity, and is located just 5km from the international airport. There are also superyacht marinas at Mandalina in Sibenik, and Sukosan, near Zadar.

Unwind & Reconnect: Your Dubrovnik Luxury Yacht Escape

Its natural beauty and rich history with the seductive charm of a balmy Mediterranean climate and coastal scenery of incomparable beauty make this UNESCO World Heritage Site one of the most beloved and visited Mediterranean destinations

Dubrovnik seems to be born from the palette of a painter who wanted to use warmer color gradients for creating a landscape that enchants the visitor at the first sight. For many centuries, this Adriatic Pearl was an independent Republic, a proud cultural center, and essential Mediterranean trading power.

From its sun-kissed terracotta rooftops to its emerald green hills, Dubrovnik’s palette is a feast for the eyes. The city’s Old Town, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, is a labyrinth of narrow, cobblestone streets lined with pastel-hued houses and adorned with ornate stonework. As you stroll along the city’s promenade, let the warm Adriatic breeze and breathtaking views of the surrounding hills and islands wash over you.

• FAQ: Answers to Your Adriatic Exploration Queries

Although no longer politically independent, its natural beauty and rich history with the seductive charm of a balmy Mediterranean climate and coastal scenery of incomparable beauty make this UNESCO World Heritage Site one of the most beloved and most visited Mediterranean destinations .

Rare are the cities that can boast a comparable location or equally well-preserved medieval walls. The enchantment starts with the panoramic view of the Old Town of Dubrovnik, from the winding road that brings you to town from the airport.

Dubrovnik is a living museum , a treasure of Baroque, Renaissance, and medieval churches and palaces. Minčeta, Bokar, Lovrijenac are just some of the beautiful forts and towers that surround the city, but for visitors, the City Port with the statue of St. Vlaho, city patron, is the best entry point into this treasure, this former city-state and symbol of freedom.

You will also soon learn really fast that the steps and stairs are part of Dubrovnik’s charm, and we love them, or at least we don’t mind them that much. Believe it or not, Dubrovnik is the city with the most stairs on the Mediterranean. There are 4.343 steps within the perimeter of the city wall and 1.080 steps on the wall itself, making the grand total of 5.423.

For locals, these stairs are a place to unwind with friends on a late summer night, a place to wait before meeting someone. Don’t be surprised if you see them chilling by shop windows, talking and laughing loudly, for this all represents the carefree city spirit.

In the morning, you’ll see the locals visit open markets, not just for food, but also in hope accidentally happen upon a familiar face and have an excuse to sit down for coffee and gossip.

The most luxurious Croatian destination – Dubrovnik: Just for a walk

Another local tradition is going to Stradun – just for a walk, but every evening, starting at Pile, then to Orlando, and then back the Onofrio water fountain… and then repeat for two or three times. Make sure you’re wearing your best clothes, for there’ll be many fashion-savvy eyes on you, judging from the nearby restaurants and cafes.

If catwalk isn’t your thing, there are plenty of backstreets downtown. The alternative is Gundulić square, dominated by a statue of one of the city’s most famous poets. The square is always busy, transforming itself like a chameleon many times throughout the day. The ‘green market’, as the locals call it, offers freshly picked produce and jars of homemade jams, pickles, and spices. Dubrovnik’s famous delicacies are: kotonjata (quince jelly), arancini (sugar-coated orange peel), bruštulani mjenduli (sugar-coated almonds), dried figs.

And as the final bell echoes across the city, endless flocks of seagulls glided down onto the market that was busy just until a few minutes earlier. The reason for this invasion: feeding time. The birds are fed from buckets full of corn whose contents are dispersed all over the square. The feeding frenzy lasts for just a few short minutes, and normality is restored. Every day, come rain or shine, the city’s pigeons are fed in Gundulić Square, always at the same time, paid for by the city council.

As the last feathers fly away, the square enters its afternoon phase, and the clink of coffee cups and the popping of wine corks can be heard as Dubrovnik’s alfresco lunchtime begins. The coolest drink around is the fresh water from the Onofrio water fountains, built in 1440 and designed by Onofrio della Cava.

Italian builders della Cava and Andreucio have two years earlier erected an unbelievable 11-km long aqueduct, bringing water to the city from the nearby Šumet and other forest springs outside the city walls. The two fountains remained the only source of potable water in the city for the following four centuries, and were considered so crucial to the functioning of the city that the punishment for contaminating water was cutting off of a hand.

We assume there weren’t that many attempts. The fountains today are among the most important symbols of the city, especially the Small fountain, right next to the Summer games stage. This event takes place every year from July 10 and August 25, and during those seven weeks of high summer, Dubrovnik gives its heart and soul to the Arts.

Cobbled streets, Baroque palaces and Renaissance piazzas set the magical setting for concerts and live theater performances. The locals have always been savvy merchants and had smart rulers made giving back to the city part of the city charter, which now reflects in the city’s architecture and cultural heritage.

What better way to get to know the culture and history of the country, city , or village you are visiting than exploring the artifacts, arts, and stories shown and told in their museums. The House of Marin Držić is undoubtedly one of the must-visit museums in Dubrovnik. Držić was a world-famous 16th-century playwright, poet, and one of the key authors of the European Renaissance comedy.

His works abound in clashes of the traditional and the modern, fiction and reality, the comic and the tragic, and are an important legacy to the whole European and world comedy scene. They were also somewhat controversial at the time, as he portrayed current events and political situations through comedy and railed against the authorities. In Držić’s honor and memory, his birth house – downtown in the Old Town, in Široka Street adjacent to the Domino Church- is now a museum dedicated to his life and works.

He was a man ahead of his time, and his literary works remain fresh and interesting today, so make sure you visit the museum and the museum shop, where you can find unique souvenirs like English translations of Držić’s books. At the same time smaller than Držić and equally as big is another art or trade honed to perfection by the locals: filigree. The tradition of spinning gold wire into minute jewelry still thrives, and locally made ‘rečini’ (earrings) or ‘puce’ (decorative buttons) you purchase in Dubrovnik will forever remind you of your time there.

Gold, silver and coral jewelry is fascinating for its timeless beauty and artistry, and the local design matches all fashion styles, traditional or modern. At their Old Town workshops, goldsmiths Vierda, Kraljević and Jurišić still manufacture the world-famous pieces using age-old methods. Another local artisan tradition still kept alive are barbershops. In this golden age of the barbershop revival, find old-fashioned atmosphere waiting for you at Placa 15 near Stradun.

As soon as you walk into the shop, you will find yourself fully absorbed in the fragrance of traditional soap, aftershave, various hair and face tonics, oils, neck powders, in this small, cozy, almost familiar atmosphere where friends share all the latest gossip. City beaches are always popular during the hot summer months, and the two with the best view of the Old Town are Banje i Sv. Jakov.

Kolorina lagoon is located between the fortress Lovrijenac and Gradac Park, local people call it Šulić according to the family whose house sits at the beach entrance. Mostly locals enjoy this beach, rare foreigners stray there, which is not a surprise since the entrance to the beach is not easy to find as it looks like a doorway of a private home.

The beach offers amazing vista towards the fortress Lovrijenac rising on the left side of the lagoon and the right side views amazing cliffs of the Gradac Park with intriguing stone houses of the artist Jagoda Buić at the foot of the cliffs.

If you want to cool down with the locals, you’ll have to go all the way to the isle of Lokrum , or to the Šunj beach at Lopud, where you can their summer water polo league, be it as a player, or one of the obsessed spectators. Or you can sail around Dubrovnik and discover beautiful Elaphiti islands .  When choosing a yacht in charter , you first need to decide whether you want to feel the meditative power of silence on board sailing boat and catamaran , or whether you appreciate speed and comfort, with interest to rent a motorboat or luxury yacht . After that, leave all the ‘details’ to us. We will pay special attention to all your needs, to select the boat up to your wishes, to feel safe and comfortable with the crew that will make your time special, organize provisioning and prepare the route that will leave you breathless!

If you find yourself in Dubrovnik mid-August, you should definitely go take a look at this unique demonstration of competitive spirit and adventurous approach to sports. The Wild League, as the call this recreational water polo league, is a summer league that gathers teams representing different Dubrovnik beaches. It has been an essential part of Dubrovnik’s summer tradition since 1949. It is more than a hobby, more than a pastime, more than a sport. It’s something that Dubrovnik men grew up with and something they gladly pass on to their kids.

Thoughtfully selected music, a rustic interior, fine indigenous food and a spacious terrace complimented with natural shade have all secured Sesame restaurant a high spot on the scale of top, Dubrovnik, fine dining establishments. Even though this gastro-paradise is located in the city centre, near Lovrijenac fortress and Danče beach, it is still relieved of the pulsating, tourist turmoil. Sesame used to be a gathering spot for bohemian souls of Dubrovnik, holding jazz parties at the weekends.

Today, it represents a cherished destination for domestic and foreign enthusiasts of good music, food and drink. Furthermore, the restaurant’s interior design boasts an elegant, museum-like ambience. Heirlooms, artefacts, antiquities, framed newspaper articles of yesteryear and photos of the Dubrovnik olden days adorn this lovely place.

Another hot spot enjoys the world’s bella vista – cliff-location, right above the sea surface with a clear view stretching across the Adriatic. At the end of the city’s alley-loop, behind the Dubrovnik cathedral, a miniature gateway in the city walls leads to the bar and the beach at the bottom.

If water polo isn’t your thing, take a stroll to the small soccer and basketball court smack in the heart of the city, crowned as the most beautiful court in the world by Architectural Digest. In Dubrovnik, savoring a cup of coffee can be a form of meditation – part of a relaxed Dalmatian way of being known as ‘fjaka’. Coffee is more than caffeine – it’s a traditional way of life. When meeting Dubrovnik locals, you will often hear ‘ajmo na kavu’ (let’s have a cup of coffee) – even though you may end up drinking something else – an invitation that involves chatting for hours and dressing nicely. So take a seat, enjoy your coffee and enjoy Dubrovnik .

Ride up to the top of the Mount of Srđ and enjoy the Old Town, the Adriatic Sea, nearby islands , and a coffee or cocktail. If you are a sunset lover, the golden hour would be your time to visit. Famous and free. Allegedly cursed. The place of stories, mysteries, and legends. Mother Nature has always reigned supreme here.

Untouched for centuries, Lokrum is a Nature Reserve and a Special Forest Vegetation Reserve, inhabited only by rabbits and peacocks introduced to the island in the 19th century by the Austrian archduke Maximilian. He also started an exotic botanical garden. Once home to Benedictine monks, this island was also a legendary haven for Richard the Lion Heart. Today Lokrum remains a sanctuary – a perfect, crowd-free summer getaway for the people of Dubrovnik.

Rocky beaches lead the way towards the virgin clear waters. A touch of history will leave you breathless with fortress Fort Royal, abandoned Benedictine monastery or a small botanical garden. Lokrum hosts Maximilian’s summer villa, built by the Habsburgs at the end of the 19.ct, becoming popular after serving as a scenario spot in the top serial The Game of Thrones.

Lokrum is an ideal spot for those who seek tourist-free zones providing an undisturbed private nest inside the bare rocks, naturists’ favourable destination. A genuine experience is also floating in the salty lake connected to the sea.

Answers to Your Queries

Dubrovnik is a living museum, a treasure of Baroque, Renaissance, and medieval churches and palaces. Coffeehouses on Stradun, a stroll along the city walls, a visit to the Rector’s Palace or performances during Dubrovnik Summer Games are must-do activities when visiting beautiful Dubrovnik.

We would say that spending 3 days in the Dubrovnik is the absolute minimum. You’ll spend at least 2 days just sight-seeing, 1 extra for museums, beaches and restaurants. If you want to stay longer, charter a yacht and sail to the Elaphiti islands.

High season in Croatia runs from June through August and is the most popular time to visit Dubrovnik. If you want to escape the crowd, April to mid-June and mid-September to mid-October are the best choices.

I tried to buy a boat with Selymar Yachts. And I experienced a really malicious venture. But right from the beginning: In internet I found a nice yacht offered by Selymar Yachts.  I visited the boat in real life, had a first look on it and it seemed fine to me. All seemed honest and friendly. The internet page of Selymar Yachts described the process of buying a boat quite good and also the process looked good to me: The buyer pays a fee for reservating the yacht, which is taken for the first payment of the contract between seller and buyer. After signing this contract, the buyer is allowed to send a surveyor and do a test sailing. If there are any findings, the buyer can retreat from the reservation, so at least I was told by Selymar Yachts - Mrs. B. I asked Selymar (Mrs. B.) to send me the contract - or a draft of contract (because they didn't have the complete information) - and they did so. The contract also looked reasonable to me, for the buyer and for the sellers side. So I reservated the yacht with Selymar and sent 9800 Euros. The next day, I got a mail from Selymar, that the seller want to have a first amount of money within two weeks! I didn't hire a surveyor nor did I test-sail it yet, not even the contract was signed! From now on, I really was suspicious and I wanted them to send me a copy of the ships papers in advance. Selymar told me, that they don't have a copy of the ships papers. And the seller told me, that the papers are not accecssible now, "because they are on the boat". One week later - after many phone calls and emails - I received a new version of contract, completely different from the first draft of contract, even the building year had changed. Of course I wouldn't sign that, really important parts of the contract have changed. One of the parts is the wording from 'registered owner' to just 'owner'. Also a part, which prevents you from paying debts or liens of the old owner, has been stripped off completely. Many mails and phone calls later Mrs. S. T. - as I understood, she is the owner of Selymar - has taken over. She told me, that now the contract is settled and the seller agreed to sign my version of contract and we all should meet, that I can check the ships papers in original. On the meeting it turned out, that the seller still didn't want to sign my version of contract (what a fould play of Selymar), and it's obvious why the seller didn't want to sign it: For me it's fraud: The only official paper he showed us, was the austrian registration with the name of a leasing company on it!!! He couldn't show a Builders Certificate, nor CE Certification, the only official document was the austrian registriation to a leasing company. That clearly stated to me: The boat is registered and owned by a leasing company! Now it was completely clear to me - also to my friends, which accompanied me - that this person is only the possessor of the yacht, who leased the yacht. He is not the registered owner and he had no papers, who entitled him to sell this yacht. But the broker Selymar Yacht - Mrs. S.T. - didn't care. So of course I didn't want to buy a yacht from a private person, where the registered owner is a leasing company. Hence I told Selymar Yachts (Mrs. S.T.) to return my reservation fee, because I'm not going to buy the boat of this seller, who is only the possessor.

Selymar never returned the 9800 Euros.

So actually for me, it's fraud.
