From the looks of it it shows very little wear, remarkably little considering its charter use. Our boat was 4 years old when we sold it and this one looks just as good. The owner required a captain, which is probably why it looks so good.
Who is best qualified to help us determine a good price. We are willing to be fair but don't want to overpay. Is asking a bank to appraise it the way to go? Do I ask the broker for all the sales of that model for the last year?
The owner is getting out of sailing so they are throwing in a lot of extras, dinghy and motor, life jackets, fully equipped galley.
Is there a Blue Book for boats like for cars. Any new tools on the internet?
Thanks all. |
For a french sailboat you can determine the price using either Argus
Marine website, which is for a fee
https://www.argus-marine.com/ or Argus du bateau
https://www.argusdubateau.fr/ which is free if you accept to give your
email address to receive some junk mail. I used the later to get a quote using an
email address dedicated to junk
Here it is. It's in French and price in € (right now 1 € = $1.2126 USD)
196 752 € (~ 239 000 US$)
I tried to attach an image, but I got some complaints saying my message is too large.
