New podcast episode: Avoiding mistakes when buying a used boat - with Dirk Ammann from Pantaenius
Together, the two will address the questions and uncertainties that often accompany the purchase of a used boat. Dirk Ammann provides practical tips and exciting insights into the market and the world of insurance when buying a boat.
Define your own wishes for buying a used boat
According to Dirk Ammann, the coronavirus pandemic has fuelled the boat market: many yachts have been bought, but normality and disillusionment are now returning, as the expert explains. Some boats are changing hands again because they have been used less than expected. Dirk Ammann recommends checking your own requirements carefully: Should the boat be large, luxurious or rather practical and compact? He gives listeners a kind of rule of thumb for this. Another topic in the episode is the question of insurance.
Avoid typical mistakes
Dirk Ammann explains in detail what buyers should look out for - not only in terms of price, but above all in terms of the condition and maintenance of the boat. He urges caution: those who spontaneously "fall in love" with a boat often overlook defects and running costs. To avoid this and other typical mistakes, he gives helpful advice in the 52nd episode on how future owners should proceed when buying a used boat.
Information on maintenance and condition is particularly important for older yachts. Sloppy maintenance can result in major damage that is not always covered. Find out first-hand from the insurance expert why the area can be a decisive cost factor.
Buying a used boat: a dream with pitfalls
Timm Kruse and Dirk Ammann show that buying a boat is an adventure, a pleasure, but also a responsibility. In addition to the big dreams, however, there are many potential pitfalls: from a lack of care and too much technology to choosing the wrong expert. In the end, it's important to invest wisely and seek extensive advice. This episode is intended to provide you with guidance on the subject of buying a used boat.
