Anybody interested in going over and bringing it back to Sydney?
How much would we have to pay here, just GST on the landed cost I think?

I think there would be m ore than GST unfortunately

It sound too good to be true.

There is always a fly in the ointment.
Wonder, where is the catch?

Just googled - Importing yachts to Aust. ACS - and it gives a figure of 5% duty and 10% GST as a basic rule. One could deduct the cost of sailing it back here - within reason - and it does not mention fumigation or any other added costs.
I think one needs an import permit. Few years ago l imported a motorbike and l had to have one.

If you are serious about sailing it back, if you need a hand, l would be happy to help if you pay my expenses fully.

Before we get to that, whoever, l would fly over and inspect the yacht personally, out of water, if l was the buyer!

I doubt I could get to do it but you could get it to Oz and have a great boat for a good price. And have a great experience to boot.
I'd be happy checking it out alongside and going for a swim to check the undersides. Get a survey done back here for insurance as it is unlikely you would get insurance for the trip back.
$289 for a one way flight to Nadi. Can't find a flight to Savusavu but there is a ferry. Make it $1000 to get to the boat to cover a couple of nights in a hotel. This isn't part of the landed costs.
Sail Fiji to New Caledonia then to Australia (Bundy??). Then to Sydney.
Two handed sailing costs, say $2000.
Landed cost about $25,000. 5% duty $1250 plus GST $2600.
Probably 5-6 weeks and $28,500 all up.

Nice Vid L.C.

Good find Claverton. A comfortable little cruiser.

Cold!

Don't do cold!
