Greetings to all! I'm a new member here and also new to a yacht ownership experience in general.

I need an advice on which power yacht I should be considering buying.
I have done quite a research already, so I have a rough idea of what I want.

1. The yacht will be used only in West Mediterranean
2. I do not want any crew.
3. The length of the yacht that I prefer is around 68ft (20-21 meters)
4. I like Azimut 68 and Feretti 680 models both in terms of interior and exterior design.
5. My spending budget is USD $3 Mil.

I would appreciate any feedback and advice on the following:

1. Will I be able (with training) to navigate the 68ft yacht by myself?
2. Should I buy new or slightly used?
3. What are the approximate maintenance (Docking/Port Fees, Fuel, Insurance, etc.) costs for the type of yachts in question?
4. Is there anything I should be aware of about Azimut and Feretti boats?
5. Should I go for a bigger boat, like 78ft?
6. What else should I consider before deciding to buying a boat?

Thanks to all!
