About
Sean Baylis
“The right boat for the right person.”
I like boats — I always have. Over the last eight years in Hong Kong I've helped with roughly fifty of them: big and small, fast and slow, sail and power.
What I actually do is match the right boat to the right person. That takes knowing boats, knowing people, and knowing what questions to ask. It's what I'm good at.
The Boat Buying Process
Decide what you want the boat for確定用途
Sailing? Racing? Cruising to the beach with the kids? Power boats too — every boat has its niche. Boating is a lifestyle choice, so start with the lifestyle.帆船？賽船？帶孩子去沙灘？摩托艇也行——每艘船都有其用途。航海是一種生活方式，從生活出發吧。
Find the right boat尋找合適的船
That's where experience counts — knowing which boats suit which people. I'm happy to point you in the right direction, or run the search for you at 3% if you want someone on your side.這正是經驗所在——知道哪類船適合哪類人。我可以給你方向，若需要有人代為搜尋，收取3%買家佣金。
Arrange a viewing安排睇船
Found a boat you like? Time to go see it in person.找到心儀的船？是時候親身前往查看了。
Get a second opinion尋求第二意見
Bring someone with real knowledge for a second viewing — a professional surveyor, or anyone who knows what to look for.帶一位有經驗的人一同再次查看——專業驗船師，或任何懂得察看要點的人。
Make an offer出價
Offer accepted? Good — onward.出價被接受？太好了——繼續前進。

Always do a survey. Conducted at your cost, by an independent, trusted surveyor.務必進行驗船。由您承擔費用，委託獨立可信的驗船師進行。
Pay the balance, transfer ownership支付餘款，轉讓所有權
Once survey is successful, the balance is paid and ownership documentation is transferred.驗船合格後，支付餘款並辦理所有權轉讓文件。
Get qualified考取資格
You don't need a PVOC to own a boat, but you do need one to operate it. If you're new to boating, we recommend a safe boat handling course.擁有船隻無需PVOC，但操作則需要。如您是新手，我們建議參加安全操艇課程。
