The condition or level of safety equipment on board is not to be negotiated on following survey. It is likely to be listed by most surveyors but is not structural or an integral working part of the vessel and is not to be used to further negotiate the price down after survey. We strongly suggest that for your own personal safety that when purchasing a yacht you provide new safety equipment rather than relying on second hand gear.

 

Should you become the new owner of this yacht then the responsibility to re-register or update official bodies for items such as EPIRB, VHF, MMSI or AIS becomes yours.

Owners Comments

When we were looking for a yacht we wanted her to be safe but fun and easy to sail for two people.

 

We sailed Oyster Moon from Northern Europe to Greece over a couple of years, and have been based in Lefkas since then. She has been a wonderful home and companion. She has exceeded our expectations. She has never let us down whatever the weather has thrown at us. She has proved to be luxurious yet practical to live on board, and easy for two people to sail, either around the Mediterranean or further afield.

 

For family reasons we are passing over ownership of this beautiful yacht to new owners to continue Oyster Moon’s adventures.
