Q. If someone is holding onto your vessel and has been instructed to release your vessel and they do not, can you remove it
A: Yes, under U.S. Federal law, if someone is instructed to release a vessel but fails to do so, the owner can legally remove the vessel. This is supported by case law where the courts have addressed similar situations involving the retention and release of vessels.

The key term is has the instruction come from a legal authority.

For instance, in cases where a vessel has been wrongfully detained or held, the rightful owner has the legal right to reclaim their property. This is evident in scenarios where the vessel's detention was based on misunderstandings or wrongful claims by another party . Additionally, the courts have recognized the owner's right to act to protect their property, which includes removing their vessel if it is being unlawfully withheld after a demand for its release.

Moreover, the legal framework allows for actions to be taken to enforce the release of a vessel, including filing for orders that mandate the release and, if necessary, taking physical possession of the vessel if it is being wrongfully held.

Therefore, if an owner faces a situation where their vessel is not released as instructed, they have legal grounds to remove it, ensuring they comply with any specific legal requirements or procedures that may apply to their case for that removal including involving law enforcement for its release.

Q. I paid $12,000 to a broker for sailboat. I am now being told that the boat is for sale “as is” by owner” is this legal?
A: Hi

There is not enough information to answer your question, so I ask few questions below.

Most used boats are sold “as is”, and the buyer usually buys subject to inspection.

If you’ve gone through a broker did they mention to you if you wanted an inspection done on the boat?

Was there an inspection before purchase by you or a third party?

Do you have a copy of the listing from their website?

When and where did you take delivery of the boat?
