Yacht Purchase Due Diligence in Greece

Buying a Used Yacht in Greece?

Independent Yacht Purchase Documentation & Due Diligence Support

Understand the paperwork before committing to your purchase.

Buying a second-hand yacht can involve more than agreeing a price and arranging a survey. Ownership histories, Bills of Sale, VAT documentation, registration records and cross-border transactions can raise questions that deserve careful examination before completion.

Sian Gissing Strategic Legal Consultancy (SGSLC) provides independent documentary review, research and strategic support to international buyers purchasing private vessels in Greece.

What We Review

  • Bills of Sale and the available ownership history
  • Vessel registration and deregistration records
  • VAT invoices and supporting documentary evidence
  • Import, export and customs-related documentation
  • Purchase correspondence and relevant contractual documents
  • Missing records, inconsistencies and outstanding verification requirements

A Clearer Picture Before You Proceed

We organise the available information, identify documentary gaps and prepare a structured summary of matters requiring attention. Where formal legal opinions, tax determinations, customs confirmation or other regulated services are needed, we help identify questions for appropriately qualified professionals.
