Buying or selling a boat is no small deal.  In fact, the process and emotional aspect is not much different from purchasing a car or house. The cost of a boat may be substantial. At Cruiser & Yacht Sales, our trained staff will help you every step of the way to find the right boat for you.  You will need to consider the following:

BUDGET

Rationalize what you can afford now based on i.e. repayments and long term Finance commitment.  You need to also consider Insurance, Running Costs, Accessories, Maintenance & regular Servicing/Cleaning. Do you know where to find the best service providers in your area?

STORAGE

Consider where your boat will be stored.  Will you need to hire a berth or do you have your own pontoon?  Do you need a Boat Lift?  Would you prefer a trailable boat and if so, do you have a vehicle adequate for towing?  Where you buy your boat from is also going to factor into the equation - will you need to transport it to another location?

USABILITY

Consider how much time you would like to spend on the water.  Will it just be for day outings or do you want to stay overnight? Do you need space for a family?  Do you want to ski from the back of this boat, enjoy calm water sailing or deep sea fishing? 

OPERATING

Do you know what licenses you will require?  Do you need Training to better operate your boat?  For that matter do you know enough about radio protocol, best safety practices, nautical map reading and navigation to ensure safe operation of your boat?  Do you know where to find services such as boat towing, weather forecasting or even fishing tips?
