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. 

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.
