By Mike Railey


If you are planning to buy a boat, you have the option to buy a new boat or a used boat. Buying a used boat is very similar to buying a used car, the price you get for a used ca is considerably lesser than a new one, you get all the benefits of the depreciation in the value of the boat. The only thing to keep in mind however is the condition of the boat. You should be able to check the boat carefully before going for a purchase. If you don't have enough knowledge about boats, get the services of some expert to find you one. There are a lot of brokers who deal in used boat. Brokers often buy the boat, refurbish them and sell them again for a profit.

If you are tight on the money, buying a used boat could be the best bet. You even get some good finance on the used boats. Used boat loans make good sense as the cost of the boat is spread over a few years which you can pay easily. The brokers who deal in used boats also make arrangements for a loan if the client needs it. As with any other loan, its always a good idea to check the terms and conditions in advance before finalizing any offer. There are lenders who does not deal in the boats but give loans for used boats. You can compare the terms and conditions including the processing fee and other hidden costs with these lenders as well.

Used boats are definitely more affordable especially for the first time boat owners. When going for the boat or the loan you can always negotiate at the price and the other terms like interest rates or the loan period. Get a used boat in a good condition and get a used boat loan to enjoy the experience of a owning a boat.

This is not "how much does it cost to cruise." This isn't "How much did you spend in Fiji?" This is, "what do you spend on a monthly or weekly basis in the various ports while cruising?" It doesn't have to be exact, and shouldn't be overblown, but this is intended to buttress the arguments of many destination-based businesses that cruising sailors are good for the local economy. This is a subject near and dear to my heart, because it isn't just Fiji who discounts the cruising sailor as a benefit to the economy, and it's the powerful resorts who get the ear of government in most economies dependent upon the tourist dollar.
