Buying a Boat?

If you are looking to buy a boat you need to decide what you want from your boat for before you start looking. Cruising/racing? Do you have a young family? Crossing the Solent or crossing the Atlantic? Charter?

Choice –Budget – Review your budget and don't forget mooring and marina fees, fuel, slipping and winter storage fees, life jackets. If you are thinking of chartering, the cost of setting up a company and having the boat 'coded' to the MCA requirements.

Salterns Brokerage can discuss your requirements without any obligation and help guide you through this process.
