If you would like to buy your own boat, here are a few things to consider.
Once you have decided on the type, size and price range, the next thing to decide is whether you want a new or used boat.
You get more boat for your money with a used boat, but you sacrifice the warranty. There are several brokers specialising in used boat sales but they can also help you with the process of buying a new one, whether in Cayman or overseas. A good broker will help you determine what you need in a boat and scour the market with you as your ally, steering you away from potential problems and boats that might be considered poor value.
