Does a boat fit me, the crew, the planned area and the budget? Answering these questions without rose-colored glasses is hard enough. It's even more difficult to understand the used boat market. Together with the overheating of the market in recent years, the shortage of berths and the current inflation, buying a boat becomes a mammoth task that is prone to errors. Peppered with examples and anecdotes of good and not so good purchase decisions from the everyday life of a boat purchase consultant and yacht broker, this presentation shows how to approach the boat search correctly and find the right boat.
