So, you’ve decided to buy a boat for your next weekend trip but are unsure whether to get a boat or yacht builder. We’ve assembled a few pointers to help you decide.

Reasons to buy or build a boat:

They are often more affordable and practical. Fishing boats can be used for commercial and recreational purposes. Specific types of boats include a dinghy, ski boat, rowing boats, fishing boats and sailing boats.
They are generally quite small and fuel efficient. Boat supplies and boat spray paints are also more affordable.

Reasons to purchase a yacht:

They can offer better weather protection than a camper trailer because of their cabins. This makes them particularly useful for long trips.
They are more luxurious and designed to impress. They offer more home-like comforts, such as beds, fridges, built-in cooking facilities and more.

Think you’ve made a choice between the two? Whether you’re looking for boat shops near you or gorgeous yachts for a good price, you can view our online listings to find a builder or service in your local area.
