    Yes, thanks for the update... If I remember correctly, you have skills in so far as getting everything ship shape. Could you do some follow-up videos... they'd be much appreciated. I've been looking at doing something similar for 10+ years, but have never pulled the trigger.. If your ever in Margate on a coastal trip.. give me a heads-up and I'll treat you to a fish supper.

    Your 'landing fee' of 1300 quid must've stung.
    Nice boat at the end of it though. I'm in NZ and have been tempted by these Ali boats for a while, so thanks for the videos, really good to get a close up look!

    Hi, great looking boat, don’t suppose you could share a link to the actual one you bought? Other people have commented but I also would be very interested in the final cost delivered. Very interesting videos. Always looked at these boats myself and thought it was too good to be true! Thanks

    £2400 boat
    Approx £2000 extras
    £1300 arrival fee
    20%vat £1140 (on above)
    Import fee ?
    Total £6840 (+import and error)
    So about £7500 at a guess

    Thanks for the videos, have been looking at doing this for a while, but was, as you wer, Amoy sure it would work out. Would you recommend getting a shipping agent to handle all the shipping and taxes etc, would it streamline costs or not? Also, have been looking for the import duty but when looking on HMRCm have only seen VAT when getting the shipping code nothing about duty, what did you pay for that? Trying to get all the fees in advance to avoid any nasty surprises.

    • @boatman9564
      @boatman9564  Рік тому +2

      100% recommend getting a shipping agent. I had VAT and import duty to pay, which was all handled start to finish by my agent. He charged about £100 for the service from memory. Worth every penny
