Our
family is setting off in Spring of 2018 but we need a
boat. We have searched Yachtworld and Sailboat Listings pretty extensively so please don't forward boats listed on there recently. We are hoping to find someone thinking about listing their
boat but have not yet done it with a
broker. We are a
family of five planning to spend 3-5 years on the boat so we want things like extra
refrigeration,
storage,
watermaker, etc. We can add these if the boat does not have them but I expect the
price to reflect it. We want to make some big crossings and possibly circumnavigate so I do not want a boat under 40'. Yes, I now people have done it but that is not us.
Here are our Parameters:
1) 42'-47'
catamaran
2) Manufactured after 2007
3) Located in the
East Coast of the U.S. or
Caribbean
4) 3 or 4
cabin but 4 is preferred (we have three kids)
5) Not a homebuilt or one-off boat
6)
Budget of up to $300K but for that
price it needs to have all of the bells and whistles. We do not have the cash to buy an ex-charter boat and spend another $75K adding what we need. Ideally it will be in the mid to upper $200's.
Looking forward to finding the "near" perfect boat.
