Suggestions & Tips For Caring For Your Yacht

November 27, 2020 by Mike Wales

That gorgeous yacht of yours sitting at the dock represents a substantial investment, and just like any asset, it must be protected and maintained to ensure reliable operation and to preserve value.

Maintaining your vessel is imperative, if not for peace of mind while operating, then for the safety of those aboard during use.

When purchasing your yacht, be sure to ask your yacht broker or salesperson questions about maintenance and servicing schedules. Ask for, and get familiar with, any manufacturer’s manuals that may be included with the vessel.

Here in Southern California, most yachts 32 feet and larger sit in salt water full time. Regular care and maintenance is especially important in this scenario.

While not exhaustive, the following items are a good starting point for regular care and maintenance. Be sure to consult your manufacturer’s manuals and yacht servicing professionals for a more detailed yacht maintenance schedule.

What You Need to Know About Visiting Mexico By Private Boat

October 25, 2020 by Mike Wales

Sooner or later life will be back to normal and we will resume those fantastic trips to Mexico.  Since thoughts of sailing adventures are swimming in my head, I thought the least I could do was write about it! So, here goes.

Vessel Documentation Requirements To Enter Mexico

Every vessel entering Mexico must carry its Original and current USCG Vessel Documentation or State Registration that proves ownership.  A notarized Bill of Sale and travel letter is also accepted in case the USCG documentation is pending. If there is a tender or dinghy onboard you must also have the Registration or Bill of Sale.

If vessel is owned by a Corporation or LLC or the person operating the Vessel or obtaining the TIP is not the individual owner, you will need a notarized Power of Attorney, Corporate Resolution, Letter of Authorization, to operate the Vessel and granting the person operating the vessel the right to operate the Vessel and obtain and execute TIP forms and documents.

Be aware that the passport of the person who signed the Power of Attorney, letter, or resolution is also required to be attached and the Power of Attorney, letter, or resolution must be signed exactly as the name reads on the passport.

Financing Your Vessel Purchase

September 20, 2020 by Mike Wales

For some of us, we haven’t saved enough to buy our dream boat with cash.  Thus, when we are ready to go boat shopping, we start looking for a boat loan. Of course, any lender will want security on its loan.  There are two methods available to lenders to secure boat loans. The size of the boat determines which method is appropriate.

As a general rule, lenders require that boats under 26 feet be titled and a notation of the security interest recorded on the title.

For vessels exceeding 26 feet, a title does not adequately protect the lender. The only way a lender can be fully protected in these cases is to require that the boat be federally documented and a Preferred Ship’s Mortgage be recorded against the vessel. A Preferred Ship’s Mortgage is statutorily created at 46 U.S.C. 313. The Preferred Ships Mortgage is only available on documented vessels and only to FDIC approved banks or other lending institutions which have been federally approved.
