Few things give the same pleasure of going out into the open water as feeling like the captain of your own ship, be it a boat or a yacht. But first you need to buy a ship, and for this you need to know a few nuances.
Instructions
Step 1
Make a list of the activities you plan to do with your boat. These can include sailing, fishing, jet skiing, photographing marine life, or business travel.
Step 2
Plan your budget. Remember that every year you will need to spend serious sums on boat maintenance, berthing, refueling, taxes and insurance. A number of factors will determine your budget, including the number of people you can fit on board.
Step 3
Decide if you are buying a new or used boat. This also applies very much to budget planning. New boats come with a warranty that can vary greatly in duration and covered services.
Step 4
Choose a watercraft dealer or broker. Make sure the company is doing private sales. If you are buying a used boat, check to see if it is registered with the local coast guard or law enforcement.
Step 5
Consider whether you will pay for your purchase in cash or by wire transfer. Sometimes this can solve many financial problems. Many private dealers work through their accountants who, for a certain fee, will be able to offer you fast and convenient registration and registration of a new vessel, and deal with all taxes.
Step 6
Make sure that the seller understands everything related to vessel maintenance, ask him all your questions and do not forget to inquire about a possible system of discounts on the goods. Ask what the warranty is for this model and for what purpose it is intended.
