Presented in very good order and has been beautifully maintained. Please note- the boat was UK tax paid and following Brexit is NO LONGER EU tax paid, however if you are not tax based in the EU you can take your boat into the EU on temporary admission for 18 months at a time. Please remember that we are not tax advisors and you should always take your own tax advice but If you are an EU resident and wish to keep her in EU waters then we think that you would have to pay tax again wherever she will be kept.
