5 Steps Before Buying a Benetti Yacht
Getting the Best Price on Benetti Yachts
If you're considering purchasing a new or used Benetti yacht, there's a simple 5 step formula you must follow to assure that you buy the best yacht at the best price, but you should know that Benetti yachts are some of the most well respected, finest pedigree yachts on the market.
With a rich history without any signs of slowing down (consider resale time and value preservation), Benettis are fully custom built vessels, which is immensely more appealing for both first time and experienced owners (opposed to production yachts such as Azimut, Monte Carlo Yachts or even semi custom Sanlorenzo yachts).
1) Request Recent Sales Data
Every yacht sold, regardless of the make, model, size, year, location or price point of the vessel, is recorded in a yachting MLS, accessbile only to yacht sales professionals.
It's common practice for yacht sales professionals to add up to 30% - 50% above the most recent sale to the listing price, to create the illusion of a 'good deal' for an uninformed and unrepresented buyer.
It takes 2 minutes to get this information, by filling out the following form:
2) Visit the Benetti
This seems like a no brainer but seeing the Benetti will certainly validate that this is the purchase and fit that works for you. Whether it's at a boatshow, a scheduled appointment or on a charter, a physical visit to the vessel will validate that it is the right yacht to purchase.
3) Consider Alternatives
Depending on if you're preference is in the more historical/classic Benettis or the newer models, it's important to consider not only all Benettis but similar vessels.
Classics: Check out Feadships.
Modern: Azimut -> Sanlorenzo -> Feretti Custom Line -> Rossinavi

4) Request a Yachtlytics Yacht Purchasing Report
Like an analyst recommending an investor to buy, sell, or hold a stock, the same due diligence and unbiased professional opinion is becoming more necessary to make the right purchasing decision.
Created by The Yacht Hunter, a Yachtlytics Yacht Purchasing Report examines market conditions, historical sales information, operational costs, charter potential and a number of other factors to produce actionable insights through a series of graphs, charts and tables to assure that yacht purchasers consistently buy the best yacht at the best price.

5) Submit Your Offer Through a Seperate Yacht Broker
The broker or sales professional that is selling the Benetti is doing exactly that; most buyers treat buying a yacht like buying a car but it's more like buying real estate; the broker you hire to represent you is set on assuring you buy the right yacht, not the one that makes them a higher commission or conveniences their sellers.
The Buyer's Broker
"You've worked your ass off to buy a yacht...let me work mine off to make sure you don't overpay"
This can always be done at no cost to a buyer as these representatives will be compensated through a split of the commission being paid by the seller.
