The first item needed to visit the WILD HORSES and discover great shelling on Shackleford Banks, or see the CAPE LOOKOUT LIGHTHOUSE is to have a boat.

Thinking of purchasing your own boat?

Buy a new boat in NC from https://h2ocaptain.comA seller of a boat has only two basic requirements: getting paid the amount they have agreed to receive and meet the due dates of the contract. The fewer contingencies your contract includes, the better your chances are for success. Presenting your offer with banking and insurance ready, as well as the survey dates scheduled, shows that you are organized and removes doubt from the seller. Sellers appreciate a buyer who has taken the initiative to line things up in advance.

Most purchase agreements include an accept or reject the date. To move forward and accept, the buyer commits to complete the sale. At that point, the deposit becomes non-refundable. As a buyer, you can’t accept the boat until the bank and/or insurer approves the survey. It is critical to make sure your lender can do so on or before the closing date.

With these assurances, you can accept the vessel and transition to the banking transfers and paperwork signatures.

It is important that someone on your team (a documentation service or lender) obtains a current USCG abstract of title to determine whether there are any recorded liens on the vessel. The abstract should be ordered once the purchase agreement is signed.

There is a lot to accomplish in a limited window, but try to keep your ultimate vision in mind: sparkling waters, friends and family, en route to paradise.

If this is not for you, please reserve your wild horses, great shelling, and/or lighthouse adventure experience today with H2O Captain Eco-Tour Private Boat Excursions at https://h2ocaptain.com.

If it IS for you will need to hire a captain to take you around our waterways to investigate our "skinny" water and know where to navigate.

Looking forward to welcoming you aboard!
