A Delaware boat bill of sale is a document used to outline the sale and purchase of a boat between a private seller and a buyer. This form specifies the type of vessel being sold as well as the purchase price. A bill of sale may be required when the buyer registers the boat in their name, so it’s important that the information is accurate. It’s also necessary that the buyer and seller sign the bill of sale in the presence of a notary.
