Boat
Just a few questions if anyone has knowledge on the subject.
What would one of these boats cost to buy in Cambodia?
What would be the legal requirements for a westerner to own?

Re: Boat
you may have to trawl through this site a bit, but he mentions prices sporadically and praises Sihanoukville's quality build

Re: Boat
A bit off topic. But, have you ever owned a boat? A few thngs to point out if not.
The cost of buying it is usually a lot less than the cost of time, labour and materials added up to keep it maintained and running for a few years. Especially if it's a wooden one. They can pretty much rot to nothing in only three years if not mantained. Also, have you got somewhere safe to moor it? My boat was a constant worry to me back home if it was in the water. Thry can sink in so many ways. All ok if you have someone you can trust keeping an eye on it within viewing distance though.
Don't let that put you off too much though. Just something to be aware of. Boats are fantastic. I'd love a Viet fishing boat hull to do up and cruise about Vietnam in. It's a lot more tricky to own a boat there though.
You can own and captain your own boat here. I know several people who do.
See crook!!!

Re: Boat
it is entirely possible to have a great boating experience in this part of the world for a very cheap price.
in 1982 i had a 44 foot double ender schooner built on herreschoff lines and offsets in Java for blue water for an absurdly low price.
Halliburton bought it from me for a company recreation boat LOL.

In 2002 you could have a dhow tradionally built in Lamu, Kenya. You could even help the guy and learn as you did it. Bow drills etc.lol
Cost was $1000. Took me 6 years to get back there though. By which time UNESCO had been and fucked up the town, and the mass tourists had turned up. Prices I had quoted then were $20,000. Gulp.
Most of the fishermen in Lamu now buy Zanzibarian dhows. They are truly beautiful. In 2009 I wax quoted around $4000 with a decent engine.
A couple of pics of Zanzibarian dhows.

Re: Boat
The real question is what are you going to do with it? Go deep sea fishing and sell seafood at the market? Do you not have any idea of how dangerous it is to fish like that? And how many pirates are out there? You should read up on this subject.
Re: Boat
Ronny NO I am not intending to go deep sea fishing, the locals do that themselves for their living. I like boats OK. And for pirates in Cambodian waters? The alternative consideration for me would be the more dangerous! Bring a boat from the UK like this one pictured. Then I would worry about pirates. But it's helpful to listen to good advice and also negative thoughts.

Re: Boat
That beautiful clear water reminds me of Ochheuteal beach.

Re: Boat
I'd do some coastal cruisng and local island exploring. Also, in Vietnam there are masses of rivers. The hulls on those fisher's pull a shallow enough draft too I believe. I met someone working a boat he had bought with his mrs for a few years in the Mekong Delta. They'd make a great houseboat.AndyKK wrote: ↑Wed Aug 16, 2017 8:38 pm Ronny NO I am not intending to go deep sea fishing, the locals do that themselves for their living. I like boats OK.

I'd love to do that long journey, but would prefer to get onboard wherever it starts to get warm in the nights. Lol
