Purchasing Yachts
And we'll locate your next boat
From trailer sailers and racing yachts, to mid size yachts, to world cruising yachts and catamarans, every single one we've sold has been unique in some way, reflecting the personality and preferences of it's owner. Through our website and wide network of contacts we can offer you a wider range of yachts than a traditional broker, so its important that we answer a few questions to see where we should start looking:
What do you want to use it for: Racing, Cruising, Overnight Stays, Bluewater Sailing? And where do you want to use it?
In designing a vessel, an architect must weigh up a vast number of compromises between accommodation, comfort, weight, speed, sea handling and expense to create a yacht that will meet the client's requirements, with the space available and in the required sea conditions. Pre owned yachts are as individual as their owners, so our first task as your broker is understanding your basic requirements, to allow us to find a vessel which be a suitable starting point for you to make your own.
How many people will be on board? How many young kids, teenagers, adults and/or grandparents?
To make sure everyone has a good day boating and gets home safely you need to make sure everyone can get on and off the boat, small children won't fall overboard and you need to carry enough safety gear for all on board. You need to consider whether or not you and your crew will be able to handle the yacht in all conditions, there needs to be enough cockpit space so you're not falling over each other and you need to make sure sleeping arrangements, if required, will be comfortable enough to avoid cabin fever.
Where are you going to pen or moor it?
If you already own or lease a pen, we need to know the maximum length your new boat can be and if you're buying a bigger multi-hull you'll need to make sure you'll fit at a near by boat lifter for maintenance and repairs. You also need to let us know if you have height restrictions to get under bridges. If don't already have somewhere to keep a boat, we'll narrow our search down to yachts being sold with pens and moorings.
When you've answered the above three questions, determined your budget and how soon you'd like to take delivery, Boatlocator can offer you a wider range of yachts than a traditional broker because we're not restricted by distance or pen availability and can show you boats from all over Australia. But unlike buying privately through any other website, are here to help with the contacts and experience you need to successfully purchase and deliver the right yacht from anywhere in Australia. Buy your next yacht the smart way.
