Thinking about buying your first sailboat? This comprehensive Boat Buying Guide is packed with everything you need to know as a first-time boat buyer. In this video, I interview a professional yacht broker who helped me purchase my first sailboat—a 2002 Jeanneau Sun Odyssey 40—through Boatshed Wales, a trusted yacht brokerage site.

Learn the full boat-buying process from a broker's perspective and gain real-world insights from my personal experience.

What You'll Learn in This Video:

How to buy a sailboat as a beginner
Boat financing options and budgeting tips
How to transport your boat and choose the right marina
How to secure a marina berth
What to look for during a sailboat inspection
Why hiring a marine surveyor is essential

I also share how I paid for my boat, my original plans to relocate it to the South Coast, and lessons learned along the way.

🤝 About the Interview:

This is an informal, friendly conversation with Keith, the yacht broker who helped with my purchase. He's affiliated with Boatshed, but this is not a paid promotion. Keith kindly offered his time to help others navigate the boat-buying journey.
