Importing Boat from USA

For many people in Australia, buying a boat can be one of the most exciting experiences to look forward to. This is because, for boat enthusiasts at least, a boat represents not just any kind of vehicle, but one that provides them with a unique sense of freedom and exclusiveness. However, as hard as it can be for many, the truth is that the best brands, prices and most variety when it comes to choosing a boat are available mostly in the USA. This of course, brings a series of new considerations for you to take into account, especially the ones regarding all the different aspects of importing a boat from the USA to Australia.

The first of these considerations is in regards to the state of the boat to purchase. So, before making the final choice, you should make sure that the boat you will purchase is in perfect condition. Now, while this might seem difficult at first due to the distance, there actually exist many independent surveyor services in the USA that can verify on the state of the boat, as well as many engineers available in the USA that can provide you with very accurate reports on the condition of its motor. These services might seem on the expensive side for some, ranging between $300 – $500 U.S. dollars, but they are definitely worth the money in order to ensure you are purchasing a boat that is in top shape.

After that, once you have verified on the state of your soon-to-be vessel, it is time to start taking care of actually physically preparing it in order for its trip from the USA to Australia or any other country in the world. Then, the next step will be to clean and fumigate the boat before wrapping it for shipping, always taking care of minimizing the volume of the vessel as much as possible in order to reduce importing or shipping costs. This can be done by removing the hard top, or other removable elements of the boat.

All of this of course, can be extremely intimidating and confusing, especially for those who are new to importing a boat to Australia from America.
