To get a quote for your yacht or boat from Keane Specialty Insurance: https://keanespecialty.com/get-a-quote?pid=DSY And to see the podcast with Toni Clarke of Keane Specialty: https://youtu.be/l15GZ4BrgNA Buying a superyacht is one of the most exciting purchases you can make, but it's also one of the most complex. Many buyers start by looking at yachts. David Seal suggests doing the opposite. In this week's vlog, David explains how experienced buyers approach the process, beginning with how they intend to use the yacht before they ever start searching the market. He discusses why cruising plans, charter intentions, running costs and regulatory compliance should all shape the buying decision long before making an offer. The vlog also explores where to search for yachts, the advantages of working with an experienced broker, how to compare multiple yachts efficiently, and why viewing location can have a significant impact on the buying process. David explains what happens once you've found the right yacht, from making an offer and agreeing the inventory, through to signing the Memorandum of Agreement, surveys, sea trials and finally taking delivery. Whether you're considering your first yacht or adding another to your fleet, this episode offers practical advice that can help buyers avoid expensive mistakes and make better-informed decisions. Topics covered include: • Defining how you intend to use the yacht • Understanding running costs before you buy • Commercial compliance and charter considerations • Finding yachts online and working with brokers • Why viewing location matters • Making a sensible offer • Understanding the Memorandum of Agreement (MOA) • Surveys, sea trials and deposit protection • Negotiating after survey findings • Preparing for yacht ownership before delivery If you are interested in becoming a yacht broker, you can learn more about the Yacht Broker Masterclass here: www.yachtbrokermasterclass.com Follow David on Instagram: http://www.instagram.com/yachts_for_sale Follow us on YouTube: @Yachtsforsaleblog @YachtsforCharter @yachtbuilders And our partner channels: @FraseryachtsSuperyachtSales @NorthropJohnson @MarineMaxOnline To stay updated with everything happening at Yachts For Sale, join the free INSIDE INFO newsletter: http://www.yachtsforsaleblog.com
