  • What are the criteria for finding the right boat for you?

    Before starting your search for a boat, it is essential to ask yourself the right questions.

    To put all the chances on your side, you must define your sailing program. This is a sort of specification for your future purchase. In short, it is a question of answering the question: what is my project?

    You won't choose the same boat if you live near the sea with the possibility of sailing regularly or if your project is rather to travel the world for a long period. Frequency of use is an important criterion. Your level of sailing, the size of the crew for example, are also determining factors to know its technicality and its capacities.

    Last point not to be neglected: the costs following your purchase to be able to sail. Owning a boat entails associated costs. Thus, you have to anticipate the question of berths, annual maintenance and repairs. 

    This first essential step will allow you to determine the model of your future boat, its size and construction method, according to your budget. 

    The experts at Atlantique Yacht Broker act as a consulting partner to help you formalize your program and define your criteria for a boat purchase that is totally adapted to your needs.

  • Owner: what to do before putting your boat up for sale?

    That's it. Your decision's made. You want to sell your boat. It is important not to neglect certain steps before you start. In the first instance, common sense is essential. Here are a few keys to prepare your sale.

    - Take a complete tour of your boat 
    The first step is to look in the rearview mirror. Make an effort to remember what condition it was in when you bought it. Whether it was new or used, it's bound to have aged. We advise you to take a complete look around and to note scrupulously everything that should be restored so as not to slow down a potential buyer. Evaluate whether you can do it alone (if you have the time) or get quotes. Offering a well-revised boat is a guarantee of better value and confidence for your buyer. 
    Before any action, also tidy up the interior and exterior of your boat. You can remove anything personal, anything that is no longer of use or interest. Tidying up is important so that your potential buyer can project himself into his future boat!

    - Gather all the boat's documents
    The more documents you gather about your boat, the more comfortable you will be in answering the questions you will be asked during the sale.
    Surely you've made improvements since you bought it? Think about valuing them (equipment, maintenance) and grouping together the invoices for these purchases. It is important to centralize all the documents and also to make a summary by date of all the stages in the life of your boat.
    At the conclusion of a sale, you will have to provide mandatory documents for the transfer. Gather them beforehand and you will be serene on this point. 

    The main documents to provide at the time of a sale are :

    - The original deed of sale;
    - The purchase invoice;
    - The original of the deed of francization. 
    - Invoices for equipment, engines, auxiliaries;
    - Owner's and on-board equipment manuals;
    - Navigation title and navigation permit;
    - The certificate of fitness for the installation of radio equipment;
    - Application for authorisation to install and/or dismantle radio equipment;
    - A copy of your identity document;
    - The trailer circulation permit.

    Atlantique Yacht Broker, as an expert in the sale of second-hand boats, accompanies you in all these stages of preparation. Following a first telephone interview, a member of our team will make an appointment with you to give you advice that will enable you to sell at a more interesting price and more quickly.

D'une pierre deux coups...Je voulais vendre mon CAP CAMARAT 5.5 BOW RIDER pour m'acheter un MERRY FISHER 605 de chez Jeanneau. En 5 semaines, l'équipe d'Atlantique Yacht Broker avait réussi non seulement à me vendre mon CAP CAMARAT au bon prix mais également à me trouver mon nouveau bateau avec la configuration souhaitée. Ecoute, patience, expertise sur différents constructeurs, différents modèles...On sent tout de suite qu'ils ont un solide réseau et une grande expérience.

Acheter un premier voilier quand on est novice en la matière, je ne vous cache pas que c'est très anxiogène et on se sait pas par où commencer. J'avais simplement en tête deux critères : Le prix et la taille. L’équipe d’Atlantique Yacht Broker m'a donc accompagné du début jusqu'à la fin et l'expérience fut très bonne pour moi. En fonction de mes besoins et de mon budget, lls m'ont orienté rapidement vers les bonnes références et j'ai pu avec eux visiter et essayer différents modèles. Ils prennent le temps et vous aident à prendre la bonne décision. Je recommande ! (Merci à Cyril pour ses conseils)
