40 Foot Yacht: Guide to Buying New and Used Yachts

When a client is in the market for a new 40 foot yacht, we often begin with the simple question of, “What is your ideal day on the water?” How clients answer this question is often quite illuminating and instructive in recommending specific yachts to consider from among the myriad of options in today’s marketplace. But we don’t stop there. Other questions can be useful as well as we attempt to narrow down buying options for a client. Do you plan to use the yacht for fishing? Is speed important? Do you intend to sleep overnight on the yacht? Any long-range cruising? How many people do you plan to have on the vessel with you on a typical trip? Where do you plan to store the yacht? These are all important questions to consider as we begin the buying process for a vessel in the 40 foot yacht range. With any yacht purchase, size of the vessel is an important consideration. The 40 foot line is a common boundary line for boaters that have previously owned smaller boats but are looking to upgrade their experience on the water for a number of reasons. For example, a 40 foot yacht often comes into focus for couples looking to do more than simple day boating. Moreover, as you get into yachts of this size range, they can come with multiple living spaces and plenty of amenities while still in an affordable price range. The choice between a new or used yacht is also a crucial consideration. While a used vessel will cost less, buying new means not only gaining access to the latest technology and amenities but also current trends and tastes in interior design and comfort. What are buyers seeking in a new 40 foot yacht today? While use cases and tastes that are specific to the individual will be front and center when buying a yacht, some things remain universal. Today, joystick docking is a must. Even if your experience means joystick control is unnecessary, it’ll be expected by just about all buyers when it’s time for resale. Moreover, buyers are eager for today’s boundary-pushing combinations of sleek and sporty yacht styles with unusually spacious and comfortable interiors. Manufacturers continue to push the envelope in delivering to buyers the best of both worlds when it comes to style and comfort. Lastly, it’s important to comment on the other parties involved when a buyer purchases a yacht. The manufacturer of the yacht you purchase and the dealer from which you buy both matter greatly. Does the manufacturer have a long history of financial strength and a track record of innovation and standing by their products? The dealer you work with is not merely a conduit for a transaction, but a partner in both the purchase and ownership of your new yacht. Ensuring your dealer will be there every step of the way during your yacht ownership is crucial. Yacht ownership is an investment and an ongoing experience. As such, partnering with the best manufacturer and dealer ensures a smooth and enjoyable experience both now and in the years ahead.
