Circunnavigation

michaelwebb · #1 (**permalink**) 08-31-2009

My wife and I are considering cruising around the world for 5-10 years and in preparation for same are now actively looking for a boat 45-50' in lenght and would welcome suggestions. As we will be cruising outside the EU we are looking for a boat with large fuel/water capacity, a skeg-mounted rudder.

As we are currently resident and domiciled in Ireland but palnning to go afar should we consider a boat registered outside the EU (Jersey, Channel Islands, Gibraltar, etc..,) We plan to do a circumnavigation. What are the tax implications when we return from our odyssey?

Any advice appreciated!

Welcome Michael. THere is no shortage of answers on this subject, but I suggest that you might put it in buying a boat. You will get responses. I also suggest a lot of information on what you want in a boat, your sailing experience, course, etc. The more information you put in up front, the better the replies.

Take care,
