5 Steps To the Best Price on Your Riva Yacht

If you're considering purchasing a new or used Riva yacht, there's a simple 5 step formula you must follow to assure that you buy the best yacht at the best price.

 

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 RIVA

This seems like a no brainer but seeing the Riva 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

 

Browse the market and have your broker check off-market listings.

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 Riva 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.

If you don't have a broker or yacht purchasing advisor, please feel free to contact me.
