Our Senior Broker, Martin McIntyre from the Singapore office, has provided their top five tips for what to consider when buying a yacht. Our team is always available by phone or email to help with your next yacht purchase.
- Consider when and how you’ll use your boat. Are you a motor boater or a sailor? Will you do day trips or use it as a home away from home? Whether your plans include coastal cruising, blue water cruising, racing, fishing, island hopping, scuba diving or part-charter, there is a boat to suit you.
- Decide where you will keep your new family member. Which marina suits you best? Consider ease of access and on-site facilities, and the sailing/motoring time from the marina to your preferred cruising grounds.
- Do you want a new boat or one that’s pre-loved? Your dealer will explain the key advantages and pitfalls of either choice.
- Size does matter. Make sure your choice fits your family and boating needs.
- Use an established and reputable boat brokerage house. Experience counts. New boat sales, brokerage sales and an after-sales team with full back-up should be as close to you as possible. Your broker wants to look after you as a long-term client and Simpson Marine will ensure you enjoy the purchase process.
