5 Things to Consider while Buying a Yacht

You are looking forward to buying a yacht, aren’t you? We come across many such people, who’ve got the money to buy a yacht, but not the technical know-how.

Recently, we came across a buyer who visited us to see our Azimut yachts for sale. He shared his bitter yacht buying experience with another yacht broker, but stopped at the right moment, before finalizing the deal!

We don’t want you to go through such bitter experiences while buying a yacht. Reading through this will help you understand five essential considerations before buying a yacht.

1.   Know your Needs

Asking the following questions will help you in this regard, and make an informed buying decision.

• What will the size of the yacht?

• How many guests/ passengers do you expect on the yacht, including yacht crew?

• Why do you need a yacht, for private use or charter?

• What is your budget?

• What do you prefer buying, a luxury yacht or speed cruise?

• What kind of a yacht you prefer, a customized one, or a production yacht?

Customized yachts cost higher than production ones.

2. Seek Expert Help

Buying a yacht is far more complicated than buying a routine product. Hence, for the best yacht deal, you must understand a few fundamental elements. Connecting with a yacht expert or a fellow customer, who had an excellent yacht deal in the past, will prove helpful. Besides, understanding some yachting terms and terminologies, and researching through some yacht videos, reading material, tutorials, etc. will add to your yacht knowledge. Staying informed will keep fraud and unreasonably expensive deals at bay.

3. Connect with a Yacht Broker

Connecting with a yacht broker and consultant like 26 North Yachts expedites the yacht buying process. They open access to a wide range of catamarans, Lazzara, and Azimut yachts for sale. If you know your needs well, yacht brokers will help you find the right deal. Nevertheless, check the broker’s reputation. Study some customer reviews to choose the right mediator. Avoid private yacht sellers or dealers that lure yacht buyers with unrealistically low prices.

4. Yacht Prices

Yacht prices vary considerably based on the yacht type. The cost of a mass-produced yacht is in the range of USD 100,000 to USD 5 million, and that of a semi-customized is around USD 25 million. A fully customized yacht, on the other hand, can cost around USD 100 million! Buying a pre-owned yacht is another alternative. It will keep the yacht prices considerably down. However, ensure that you seek assistance from a yacht expert to avoid buying a faulty yacht.

5. Take a Test Ride of the Yacht

Don’t miss this. A test ride of the yacht will help you know a lot about the vessel. Some dealers charge for a test ride. A good deal of negotiating efforts, however, may help you waive off the test ride charges.
