Marine Auctions Pty Ltd appointed BASCO’s William Schick as their Western Australian agent on 31 July 2017 after increasing demand from potential sellers. “William was appointed the agent for South East Asia six months ago and has obtained results well in excess of our expectations,” said Director of Marine Auctions Adrian Seiffert. With the expansion, BASCO has appointed a Perth representative, Nigel Gribble, beginning 1 August 2017. Schick and Gribble will build the Western Australian team to meet with boat owners, potential buyers and sellers. In addition, BASCO has appointed Martin Nicholls as the Thailand representative to cover Bangkok, Pattaya and Phuket. Based in Asia, BASCO was launched in April 2017 and already begun to transform the way luxury yachts are sold through online boat auctions that reach thousands of buyers and simplifies the sales process. By being independent, with no boat agencies, brands or inventory, the team of highly skilled marine-centric professionals is able to provide impartial advice that helps boat buyers, boat sellers and boat owners reduce risk and uncertainty of boat ownership in Asia. “We are excited to expand our geographic presence and provide access to online marine auctions to a broader audience of boat owners.” said Schick. About BASCO: BASCO is reinventing how yachts and boats are bought, sold and maintained in Asia through online auctions, a technical services marketplace and an independent boat advisory service. By exploiting Internet technologies to challenge the status-quo, BASCO aims to reduce risk and uncertainty of boat ownership in Asia. Passionate about boats for over 30 years and with a string of marine industry awards, the management team is making buying and selling boats exciting again.

Back Previous Next March 14, 2017 BASCO Boating | Official launch of BASCO Boating during the Singapore Yacht Show 2017 The BASCO platform dedicated to Online Boat Auctions & impartial Advisory Services for the Asian boating marketplace will officially launch during the Singapore Yacht Show 2017, 6th – 9th April. (Singapore, Tuesday, March 14th, 2017) Today, BASCO, a trusted online boat auctions website and top boating consultancy whose mission is to take risk and uncertainty out of owning a boat in Asia, has confirmed that it will formally launch during the Singapore Yacht Show next month. The 7th annual event being held at the exclusive ONE°15 Marina Club from Thursday, April 6th to Sunday, April 9th is one of the highlights of the boating calendar in Asia. An official supporting partner of the Singapore Yacht Show 2017, BASCO is led by award-winning marine industry veteran William Schick. With over 30 years’ experience across all facets of the marine industry, from yacht sales, to engine repair, Schick has witnessed a gradual decline in the effectiveness of the traditional brokerage model in the Internet age. His vision for BASCO is to revolutionise the way in which luxury yachts are sold in Asia, through online boat auctions which have the ability to reach thousands of buyers and shrink the sales process to a fraction of the time it normally takes to find a buyer. The team of highly skilled marine-centric professionals at BASCO’s helm also aim to reduce risk and uncertainty of boat ownership in Asia. The boating advisory service is designed to give new and existing boat owners easy access to impartial advisors who can provide comprehensive answers to all kinds of boating related questions from eager boating enthusiasts. “It became clear to us that online boat auctions are truly the way forward and our BASCO marketplace is on the crest of a wave of the future of yacht and boat buying and selling,” asserted, William Schick, Managing Director, BASCO. “We’re delighted to have signed a supporting partnership agreement with the Singapore Yacht Show 2017 and feel honoured to continue our wonderful working relationship with the entire crew behind the most popular show of its kind in the region.” As a new name to watch in the world of digital disrupters, BASCO hopes to shake up the way in which boats are sold by simplifying the entire process and bringing it all online. Our unique online auction portal creates a buzz around boat sales and this type of momentum and excitement for sales is exactly what the industry has been missing in Asia. “This is very different from the traditional view of auctions that were prior to this associated with liquidation sales or even distressed and damaged stock situations.” Says Schick. The team is also advancing yacht and boat sales by replacing the need for unsustainable and costly bricks and mortar sales dealerships. The BASCO promise means that it is truly independent with no brands, no dealerships, and no products. With transparency being key, this helps to ensure that the company is wholly committed to helping those new to boating, boat buyers, boat sellers, and boat owners with no hidden agendas or vested interests at play. The company is also committed to rolling out a sophisticated boating technical services marketplace in 2017. It is another move that is sure to shake up the industry even further. The exciting new portal will provide yacht and boat owners with the details of vetted, reliable, and reputable service providers, once again reducing risk and uncertainty of maintaining one’s boat in sometimes unfamiliar locations.

4 Back Previous Next May 17, 2023 Pin Prestige | Owning a boat and realizing your dream living at sea Text digitally translated to English. Owning a boat and realizing your dream living at sea Boat Ownership In Singapore Change your way of life, buy a yacht and move to live on the sea. Being a boat owner does not require extraordinary spirit of adventure, not only the lifestyle of a socialite, but also not necessarily more expensive than living on land. In fact, Singapore is surrounded by the sea and enjoys a tropical climate all year round, and its inherent conditions have already taken advantage. Recently, as more and more high-net-worth individuals move to Singapore, real estate prices have risen sharply, and it is difficult to find a house in the rental market. In addition, working from home has become popular, and moving to live on a boat has become an increasingly possible alternative. Dione Schick, co-founder of the yacht trading platform BASCO Boating , conducted an email interview with us to share the reasons and views on owning a boat. Why should I own a boat? Owning your own boat is a wonderful experience, bringing joy, adventure, and relaxation to your life. Here are a few reasons: Get away from the hustle and bustle of the city, sail lakes, rivers, oceans, and explore hidden beaches, islands, and caves. Spend quality time with family, friends and family in private space, fishing together, picnicking, sunbathing on the deck. Breathing fresh air, relieve stress, good for body and mind. Gain new knowledge about the sea and yachts for an unforgettable experience. Overall, owning a boat is a good investment that enriches life. Is it possible to live on a boat? Living on a boat is actually perfect for those looking for an alternative lifestyle, or those looking to reduce their living expenses. The cost of living on board can be significantly lower than traditional housing and you may not have to pay rent or mortgages, real estate taxes, utility bills. Of course, living on a ship also faces different problems. Boats require maintenance and repairs, berthing or marina fees, insurance and other costs associated with owning a boat. Living on a boat also means living in a confined space, which can be challenging for some individuals or families. Still, for those willing to adapt to a different lifestyle, living on a boat can be a great experience. You can freely travel and explore the different waterways, enjoy the beautiful scenery and immerse yourself in nature. It can also be a great way to simplify your life and focus on what really matters. Charter or buy a boat? How much should I prepare for? Charter or buy a boat, on a case-by-case basis, depending on personal preference and lifestyle. While renting a home offers stability and comfort, living on a boat offers a unique and adventurous lifestyle compared to traditional housing. Costs depend on the size, type and condition of the boat, as well as the location and season. Some of the costs associated with owning and maintaining a boat include mooring or dockage fees, insurance, fuel, repairs and upgrades. Additionally, living on a boat requires certain skills and knowledge, such as navigation, safety and boat maintenance, which may incur additional costs. How to own a boat in Singapore? Obtaining a boat license: To drive a boat in Singapore, you must first go to the Singapore Maritime and Port Authority to take a class and obtain a recreational boat driving license (Power Pleasure Craft Driving License). Find a mooring marina: Singapore has several marinas that can moor private yachts, such as ONE°15 Marina in Sentosa and Raffles Marina in Tuas. However, some marinas do not allow liveaboards, or have certain requirements for the type, size, value, etc. of the boat. Calculate the cost: Living on a boat requires certain expenses, including berthing fees, maintenance fees, insurance, etc. Remember to calculate all possible additional costs in advance. Join the boating community: Join a yacht club or community to get resources and knowledge about life on board in Singapore, participate in related activities, and meet new friends. Understand the rules and safety of boats: Familiarize yourself with the regulations and safety rules for sailing in Singapore to ensure that you can operate boats safely and legally. How to buy and sell boats? As a buyer, it's important to think about what kind of boat you're looking for, what your budget is, and what other features or amenities you'll need. As a seller, you need to have a thorough understanding of the boat's condition, market value, and any necessary repairs or upgrades. There is also a clear understanding of the legal and financial aspects of the transaction, such as registration, taxes, financing options, and more. Partnering with a reputable boat broker or e-broking platform provides the resources and expertise to make the buying or selling process easier and more efficient. How long does the boat last? Is it a good investment? The lifespan of a boat depends on a variety of factors, including type, use and maintenance, environment in which it is used, and more. Generally, with proper care and maintenance, they can last for decades. Whether it's a good investment depends on several factors, including initial cost, ongoing maintenance and repair costs, and resale value. Plus, the fun and adventure that comes with a boat can be priceless. In the final analysis, boat ownership is definitely a worthwhile investment for boat lovers, and the valuable experience has surpassed financial considerations. How do you decide what boat to buy? Before starting to buy, ask yourself 4 questions and choose according to your own requirements. What is the purpose of the boat and what activities are planned on board? Such as fishing, water sports, sea cruise and so on. Sailing location, such as offshore, inland sea, lake, river, and related docking fees. How far it needs to sail, and how much it will cost to run. How much time do you plan to spend on board? How often do you go on a boat? How much is the budget? Calculate the cost you are willing to pay, in addition to buying the boat also need to cover other related costs, such as maintenance, berthing, insurance and so on. What other considerations should be made before making a lifestyle change? Overall, moving to live on board is a fulfilling and enjoyable experience, however, before making an important decision, please carefully consider the cost of living on board and the changes you will have to face in your life. Enjoy a carefree life at sea, but also face other problems, such as the first outlay when buying a boat, long-term maintenance and repair costs after owning a boat, potential risks (such as weather and accidents), living space Restricted, must often go out to sea by boat, and live a wandering lifestyle with no fixed place. Before deciding to buy, it may be helpful to speak with the current boat owner, or seek professional advice from a boat broker to better understand the costs and requirements of living on a boat.

After seeing how globalisation was driving customers to the cities to buy their boats, we closed down the marine dealership we had poured out hearts, souls and resources into for 11 years in the 1990's.
