Buying the Right Yacht: Used vs. New


The idea of owning a yacht may be a dream for most, yet this dream comes true for many every day. Owning a luxury inland waterways or seagoing vessel is a great way to enjoy vacations, retirement, or just a weekend trip from a private dock.

However yacht owners plan to enjoy their yachts, they must first choose how to acquire the perfect one. In this regard, let's examine the pros and cons of buying a used vs. new yacht.

Buying a New Yacht


The biggest con of buying a new yacht is paying full price and then having it depreciate quickly; within five years a new yacht can depreciate upwards of 40% from the original price.

With that said, buying a new yacht means buyers have more selection when it comes to choosing from new models and types of yachts. Whether they're buying an express cruiser, a pilothouse motor yacht, sedan bridge, or a mega yacht, they'll have more selection with type and customization.

Buying a new yacht gives owners the assurance of knowing their vessel is under warranty and everything is working properly. The engine, wiring, and infrastructure won't bring any unwanted surprises, and if there's a problem the warranty will resolve it.

New yachts are made from the latest technology, design, and materials, which means better fuel efficiency, more environmentally friendly, stronger, lighter, and with modern-looking designs.

And for those trying to finance their yachts, buying a new yacht is easier to finance and has lower rates.

Buying a Used Yacht


The main benefit of buying a used yacht is saving money, which is significant considering the depreciation rate of new yachts and the overall cost of them in general. For instance, buying a five-year-old yacht can save buyers 40% off the new price; this is an excellent deal if the yacht was regularly maintained and has low miles – it very well may still look and feel brand new!

Buying a new yacht may bring more choices with new models, yet buying used brings more choices with older models. Older discontinued models may be what buyers are looking for, as discontinued models may have certain features or designs that appeal to them.

Older yachts may have some miles and wear, yet may also have some custom upgrades and features added. Basically, previous owners may have invested in upgrades over the years, making the yacht worth much more than they're asking. These upgraded used yachts will cost less than new yachts and give the new owners years worth of custom upgrades.

The used yacht market gives buyers more selection when it comes to type, year, model, and cost. Buying a new yacht means buyers are limited to the selection available from manufacturers. As long as used buyers are willing to be patient and search in non-local markets, they'll find a wider selection of yachts to choose from – all at significantly lower prices than new.

Conclusion


Owning a yacht is a life-changing experience, as they bring luxury, fun, and excitement to life on the water. This experience shouldn't be hindered by problems or issues from a recently purchased yacht, whether new or used. This is why careful considerations must be taken when purchasing a new or used yacht.

Employing a competent surveyor to inspect a used yacht and using a broker service to help find and purchase a quality used yacht, are both good ideas for buyers. In fact, if buying used, using a broker service that specializes in yachts is very helpful. They have the resources, expertise, and connections to find the right yacht, know its real value, and make sure it's a sea-worthy vessel.

The next war will start before the Boomer Gen passes away

The NWO will leverage the Zionist brainwashing the Boomers have undergone. It makes sense that the hidden hand or the shadow government would start the next war before the Boomer Gen passes away, as they are the ones who support Israel the most. In general, the younger generations don’t care about Christianity or Israel. Their programming is to care about themselves and technology. If this is true, the next war will start within an estimated 5-10 years. The youngest Boomers were born in 1964, so are 61 years old. The oldest were born in 1946, so are 79 years old. To note: That means the youngest of the Greatest Gen are 80 years old. 2025 is also the first of the Beta Gen. So, there is a limited window of time for the NWO to leverage the Zionist propaganda they worked so hard to install into these older generations. Although these older gens are too old to do the fighting, they will spearhead the political and social support needed to send off the younger gens to die. The NWO also caref...

An Ode to Grandpa Lee

An old-time pioneer amid modern vanity and "progress." The man stood tall in the wind with the sun beating down on his flat-brim cowboy hat. He was a working man, focused on his pioneer family in the western country they called home. Building and designing structures high and wide, the man skipped across wooden beams high in the air, under shadows cast only by moving clouds; wide open spaces watched the scene as death-defying feats were carried out in relative obscurity, as just another day of work. The man was an old-timer with relatively few years to boast, a before his time pioneer with an adventurous and loving wife plotting business in sagebrush lands far beyond the hyped city life bustling with seemingly meaningless activities. His skin was as leather, scorched in the sun and beaten with high winds containing drifting sand mixed with alkaline dirt. The dry mountain air in the high desert cleansed his heart with comfortable respite from the high temps and harsh weather e...

Between a Rock and a Hard Place in America

The inevitable cycle of conspiracy and deceit until sin and death are destroyed forever by Jesus Christ. The world is in between a rock and a hard place when it comes to politics and current affairs. There is no way out of the problems we’ve created without the majority of people walking in the Holy Spirit. As it is, the vast majority of people are walking in the flesh, including me too much of the time. The modern world has been created to take us away from the spiritual, from faith in the Holy Bible. Technology in the form of television, the internet, and smartphones are the final tools needed to thwart our faith and set us up for deception. The old-time Christian revivals, even just over a hundred years ago before television are essentially not possible anymore with smartphones around. Smartphones and technology are too stimulating and distracting for people to commune with God like we used to. In my opinion, real Christian revival isn’t possible anymore with this technology. The Ho...

The Final Deception is Conservative and Religious

Politics are going according to the NWO's deceptive plan. Politics, History, and the NWO I’ve been taking a break from talking about politics lately, yet that doesn’t mean I feel any different about it. Being someone who doesn’t support Trump or the Dems makes it hard to get any traction with an audience. The truth is more nuanced than most people can handle. It is easier to simply pick a side and believe it without much critical thinking. Trump is speaking the common sense views of the majority of Americans who still have half a brain left after the many decades of brainwashing we’ve been subjected to. The big data algorithms have been gathering the views of every American, compiling them into meticulously organized data reports, so they know exactly what most people want to hear. The left are those who have accepted the brainwashed agenda without any critical thinking. They are the useful idiots the NWO has used brilliantly to create  most  of the problems that t...
