Interactive checklist
Boat handover protocol
Payment, documents, keys and engine hours – record the handover on your phone or on paper.
The day the boat changes hands, go through this list together with the other party. It records payment, documents, keys, engine hours and the condition at handover – and avoids discussions later.
Protocol to sign
Print the protocol, fill it in on the boat and have both parties sign it. Each keeps a copy together with the purchase agreement.

- Seller: cancel your insurance and registration or transfer them, inform the marina, and mark your listing as sold.
