£100K BOAT

Interest rates are rising, cost of living is going up, property values are stalling and the stock market is looking jittery. Yet against this backdrop of doom and worry, demand for boats appears to remain as strong as ever! Brokers continue to complain that it’s not selling boats that is difficult, the problem is obtaining good listings in the first place.

I spoke recently to one who was lamenting selling his latest listing in under a fortnight because it was the only one he had! Covid gets the credit, or the blame, depending on whether you’re selling or buying, with boat sales boosted by both the ‘sod it’ factor of those wanting to just get on with life today and the almost perfect self isolation that a boat allows.

For all these reasons, £100,000 pickings are slim, but there are still some interesting boats on the market. We have selected four of the best at this price point.
