Buying your yacht New or Used?

Yachts are top of the range boats mainly used for pleasure, yahts can come in a wide variety of designs, and types. When buying your yacht you should aim to find one that your comfortable with and fits your tastes. Some important points to look upon when buying a new or used yacht is to list all the things you wish to have on your boat. Ask yourself what do i need, and what do i want. When i say what do you ”Need” i mean what is the essentials, are you going to use it for a weeks holiday? If so then your going to need cookers, beds etc, enough so you can live in, if you are using it for a small fishing day trip, some things can be left out. Then what i mean by your ”Wants” is the luxuries your yacht could have, TV’s etc.

Always plan a budget before you go out shopping for a yacht and stick to it, otherwise it could be a very expensive purchase.

Buying A New Yacht

If you’re rather buy a new boat, all you need to do is enter into an agreement with the builder or distributor.

Items To Consider When Buying A Used Yacht

It’s a fact that a person can buy and sell a yacht without the need for formal paperwork, as a verbal agreement between two parties would be enough to constitute a legally binding contract, but we strongly recomend a contract when buying.

Other Factors To Take Into Consideration

Whether you’re buying the boat from the owner the most important factors to consider are the overall condition of the yacht, and whether the seller actually has, or is given the right to sell that particular boat. Unless the boat is being bought as part a restoration project or the buyer is well aware of its actual state, the advice is to always enter into an agreement that is “subject to survey” within the terms of the contract.

When you are opting for used yachts, you must be aware of certain parameters and their measuring units. Performance of a Yacht is measured in knots like Cruising speed 14.5 knots.

Propulsion, measured in RPM become more pertinent in the mid of the sea.
