Your Prepared Documents
HarbourClose uses the facts both sides confirm to prepare and organize the documents that apply to the transaction.
Vessel Bill of Sale
Signed by the required buyers and sellers
Ownership and Lien Declaration
Signed by every seller
Payment Receipt
Created after the seller confirms payment
Fictional samples of the documents prepared from the information confirmed in the file.
Prepared from the vessel, party, price, and delivery facts confirmed in the shared file.
Signed separately by every seller to record their ownership, financing, lien, and authority declarations.
Created after the seller confirms a direct buyer-to-seller deposit or final payment.
Practical vessel-delivery guidance, plus a separate Trailer Bill of Sale when a trailer is included.
One confirmed search is included at no additional charge when deliberately selected. It reports only what the searched registry returned.
Why Choose Basic Documents
The file prompts you to add or invite the buyers, sellers, and registered owners involved in the sale.
HarbourClose walks both sides through the vessel, HIN, licence or registration, engines, trailer, and included property.
The file records the agreed price, payment, dates, and delivery details, then prepares documents from the information both sides review.
How the Document Service Works
Add what you know about the buyer, seller, boat, price, and direct payment arrangement. Invite the other side to the same file.
Each person completes their own information. Both sides review the shared facts before HarbourClose prepares the documents.
Pay the $59 service fee when the file is ready, review the prepared documents, and sign through the secure eSignature workflow.
Simple and Explicit
Only the participating buyers, sellers, and authorized HarbourClose staff can access the private file.
Every seller signs their own Ownership and Lien Declaration. HarbourClose records the declaration but does not guarantee title.
The file records direct buyer-to-seller payments. HarbourClose does not hold or administer the deposit, balance, refund, or release.
The buyer and seller confirm the information used in the documents before the file moves into signing.
What HarbourClose is not: a law firm, brokerage, lender, insurer, escrow provider, or title guarantor. The Basic Documents service organizes an agreed private sale; it does not choose terms or represent either party.
Straight Answers
No. This service begins after the buyer and seller have agreed on the main sale terms. Use Guided Process to prepare an offer, invite the other party, track counters, or include conditions and deadlines.
Yes. One person starts the private file and invites the other side. Each buyer and seller joins with their own HarbourClose account and confirms their own information.
The file can record money paid directly from the buyer to the seller. HarbourClose does not hold, administer, or decide the release or refund of those funds. Use Guided Process or Boat Sale with a Coordinator when the deposit needs those instructions.
The Basic Documents service is not right for a known loan, lien, payout, or ownership concern. Guided Process or Boat Sale with a Coordinator can organize the additional lender, payout, and lien work.
No. When the prepared documents are ready, the required buyers and sellers receive a secure signing link and the completed documents return to the HarbourClose file.
A Straightforward Private Sale
Open the private file, invite the buyer or seller, and complete the remaining information together.
