Finding Used Sailboats for Sale in the Caribbean

Where would you seek them out, and why would you want to look for a used sailboats for sale all the way down in the Caribbean anyway?

The first part of the question is easy to answer - right here! We're not a broker so we seek no commission, nor do we make a charge for placing the ads. We only allow ads from the owners themselves - or occasionally from their appointed brokers - and yes, it's all for free!

But there are other sources of second-hand cruising yachts in the Caribbean, one of which is the yacht charter companies.

These companies update their fleets from time to time, selling off the older models.

Horizon Yacht Charters have bases on several of the Eastern Caribbean islands, and would be a good place to start looking.

Charter boats are generally optimised to maximise accommodation for fare-paying clients and, whilst being quite acceptable for Caribbean island-hopping, may not make ideal long-distance cruising boats.

Why Should I Buy a Used Sailboat in the Caribbean?

After all, it's a long way to go to look at one, and there's likely to be a lot more to choose from closer to home, but...

• Perhaps you've got time for some extended cruising in the Caribbean but are not very enthusiastic about tackling the long ocean passage necessary to get there, or
• You're looking for a bargain. Sometimes, but not always, the owner of a boat in the Caribbean has had enough sailing and is keen to sell. Maybe he hasn't got the time to sail her back home, or doesn't want to pay someone else to do it for him. That puts you in a strong negotiating position.
• You've been looking for a particular boat for a while now - and here it is!

Getting Her Surveyed

You've found a boat that looks ideal - it's time for a deep and meaningful conversation with the owner, after which you've got a decision to make. Do you...

• Make an offer subject to survey?
• Go and take a look at her yourself before walking away or making an offer subject to survey?
• Get her surveyed before deciding whether to walk away or take a look at her yourself?

Here's what I would do, assuming I hadn't decided to walk away...

• Ask at least two local professional yacht surveyors to quote for a full survey, and
• Make an assessment of the transport and accommodation costs involved in visiting the boat.

If the cost of (1.) is relatively low compared with the cost of the survey I'd download a copy of Andrew Simpson's  'Secrets of Secondhand Boats' and, armed with this most valuable assistant, go and assess her myself before deciding whether to walk away or appoint a yacht surveyor.

If the cost of (2.) is relatively low compared with the cost of making the trip I'd appoint the yacht surveyor. His report would enable me to decide whether to walk away or, after visiting the vessel, make an offer.

SERIOUS FUN BRIDGE SHOW 2017

Thanks for making Dreams come true.

Have you ever questioned the integrity of a boat broker? Bet you have. Has it ever crossed your mind that their only goal is the commission? Guarantee you have. Have you ever purchased a sailboat thousands of miles from home and completely trusted your broker? Well you are about to experience just that when you buy a boat from Mike Disch of The Yacht Shop. The decision to purchase a sailboat in the Caribbean was easy as we had decided on all of our needs before flying to the island. Finding the right broker was definitely a challenge. Mike Disch is the poster child of professionalism and honesty. Mike is genuine, he listens and provides point blank responses with only your best interest in mind. He speaks the facts. Boat brokers are a dime a dozen here in the islands, most cant be trusted, their only focus is to see you sail away into the sunset leaving your hard earned cash at the dock. Thank you Michael for making our dreams come true, I am eternally grateful for the experience, the friendship and support. Andrew Gibson & Eduin Castillo S/Y ADELA
