Buying this Lagoon 380 from Abroad (USA or Other Countries)

If you are a resident of the United States or another country and interested in purchasing this Lagoon 380 catamaran, you’re in the right place.

Purchasing a boat in France as a foreign individual is entirely possible, and both French and U.S. authorities are familiar with the necessary procedures.

✅ Simple Purchase, Clear Contract

 

The sale is made through an international Bill of Sale written in both English and French.

This document includes all required legal information:

  • Identities of buyer and seller
  • Purchase price
  • Complete description of the vessel
  • Guarantee of clear title
  • Date and location of the transaction

🌍 French Flag Deregistration

As the seller, I will handle the official deregistration of the boat from the French maritime registry, which is essential for you to register the boat in your country.

Once completed, you will receive:

• The official certificate of deregistration

• The signed Bill of Sale

• All original boat documents: technical specifications, inventory, CE certificate, and more.

 

🇺🇸 Import and Registration in the USA

If you are based in the United States, you may:

  • Import the vessel through an authorized U.S. port of entry
  • File the purchase declaration with U.S. Customs
  • Register the boat either:
    • With your state of residence (e.g., Delaware, Florida, California)
    • Or with the U.S. Coast Guard for federal documentation

I can assist in preparing all the necessary documents for these steps.

.

⚠️ Taxes and Duties in the U.S.

Import duties in the United States are typically around 1.5% to 2% of the declared purchase value.

These are due upon entry of the vessel into U.S. territory.

🔧 Delivery – Shipping – Mooring Options

 

You have several options:

  • Keep the boat in the Caribbean and enjoy it locally
  • Organize shipping or sailing to the U.S.
  • Hire a skipper or maritime agent to manage the process

I can provide recommendations for trusted professionals if needed.
