GO BIG OR GO HOME

hen two experienced boaters looked into buying a boat together for holidays afloat in Florida, their plans took an unexpected twist. With a budget of up to $3 million, their initial idea had been to buy and run a brand new Sunseeker Predator 57 as a privately owned boat but with both of them being based in the midwest and limited to around four to six weeks use each per year, their new pride and joy would be left unused for the remaining 40 weeks of the year. However, if they used the money to buy an older used superyacht with a seasoned captain and crew, they could charter the vessel out to mitigate the costs when they weren’t using it and have the benefit of a much larger, more luxurious boat for them to enjoy when they could. This would also ensure the boat was being professionally maintained and managed, reducing the workload for the two of them
