Look north for a boat ...Netherlands..Baltic sea....

Sweet water, many boats stored inside winter, wealthy owners, high spec

In the Med boats tend to be sunburnt and unloved with owners who live a thousand kilometers away

Thank you very much. I was on the med boats, yet i've found some interesting boats precisely in Netherlands, very well equiped and apparently very well mantained. I'm contacting the brokers to put some more questions about them... Let's see how it goes...

Fiberglass boats become more susceptible to osmosis when kept in fresh water

Be sure to have a surveyor examine , test , the Underwater surfaces for moisture

There are companies selling yachts and motorboats in Portugal do a search and you will find them.

Bom dia and welcome aboard!

Lived and sailed in the Açores for a couple of weeks, I’m envious of your location! I wish you luck in your search. You may find some good boats in the islands, seasoned and ready depending on what type of sailing you wish to do.


Cheers
