Depends how competant you are.
2. Should I buy new or slightly used?
Depends how sensitive you are to cost versus customization.
3. What are the approximate maintenance (Docking/Port Fees, Fuel, Insurance, etc.) costs for the type of yachts in question?
Depends where and how much you use your boat. A new boat will be covered by warranty but will have bugs to work out. Most of the first year expenses will be usage based.
4. Is there anything I should be aware of about Azimut and Feretti boats?
Newer Azimuts are much better made. Ferretti in my humble opinion are over priced with inconsistent quality within the boat.
5. Should I go for a bigger boat, like 78ft?
Insurance maybe the determining factor on the size. Given your limited experience you may not be able to get insurance.
6. What else should I consider before deciding to buying a boat?
Take a boating course. |
Thanks for replying back, Goplay.
1. Is it more or less common to self navigate yachts of such size?
2. I'd rather get a new boat, but I want to know the resale values in case I decide to sell a boat.
3. Like I've mentioned, the boat will primarily be used in Western Mediterranean.
4. Will take your advice on this.
5. Will check that before making my final decision.
6. Definitely will
