Bought a boat in Norway!

[tkalfaoglu]

Hi there. I (my UK company actually) just bought a used boat in Norway. The seller and I have filled out a long standard contract. However I have no idea what to do now Do I need to report this transaction anywhere? What do I need to do now?
I intend to sail it to a non-EU country.

1/ Register it in the country it'll be kept in.. Eg: UK get SSR.
2/ Insure it either Comprehensive or Liability Only.
Once you receive Cover Notes for the above and a copy at least of the Bill of Sale your good to go.

If you are an American insuring a boat in Europe is very difficult. After a month of surveys and many, many requests from the insurer (Topsail) they finally gave me an absurd quote. Especially when I am on the last 5 weeks of our annual use of the boat. The rest of the year it is hardstanding.

As for Pantenius, they never responded to 2 emails as for a quote. I even sent them a brand new survey. Not impressed.
