Luxury Boats Online Discounts, Sales And Rentals

Very few people can afford to step aboard luxury boats such as the Sea Dream, which costs over $315,000 a week to charter. The 196 square feet of living space in this first class yacht feature unbelievable ocean-view amenities such as an Asian Spa and Wellness Center, boardroom, library and several flat screen TVs and DVD players.

Yes, affording a boat rental such as the Sea Dream is out of the question for most of us, but that is not to say the same for owning or chartering luxury boats of a more modest nature.

Want to take that next holiday out on the open sea, but lack the necessary training to stay afloat? The answer is easy. Chartering luxury boats allows vacationers the chance to relax and leave all responsibility in the hands of a professional crew, without the hype and hullabaloo aboard cruise ships such as Carnival or Princess. CharterWorld.com has a broad selection of crewed sailing and motor luxury boats in exotic locations such as the Mediterranean, Caribbean, Pacific Northwest, Asia and New Zealand. A current special on a luxury crewed sail boat rental, the Beneteau Oceanis 510, accommodates 8-10 guests for $3740 a week. Considering the quality of experience this cruise offers, the cost for chartering luxury boats such as the Beneteau is incredibly low.

One or two weeks on the water are not enough for some individuals and families, though, and an investment that yields countless Saturday getaways appears much more promising. When in the market to purchase luxury boats, consumers should heed the responses of Regal Boats customers. J.D. Powers and Associates ranked Regal Highest in Customer Satisfaction with Express Cruisers (24-33 feet) and Small Runabouts (16-19 feet). This prestigious ranking is the result of 2006 market research focused on the owners of luxury boats. Regal luxury boats can truly serve as a home away from home, their cabins equipped with sleeping accommodations, kitchens and bathroom.

Discounts online open the possibility of owning luxury boats to an even wider population. National Liquidators, the world's largest liquidator of luxury boats, holds weekly auctions using a sealed bid system. These boat sales are open to the public, as well as dealers. The pre-owned luxury boats available at National Liquidators boat sales have been repossessed, foreclosed on or seized by the government, allowing them to be sold at surprisingly low prices.

BoatTrader.com is another website that offers discounts online for luxury boats. Find deals such as a 1994 Larson 300 Cabrio, a small family cruiser, for only $45,000. Financing is available from both BoatTrader and National Liquidators.

Wouldn't a reason to go tanning and lounging on the open water be a better use of up to $100,000 than a sports car? Then again, would a mobile vacation home be even better than that $400,000 loft in San Francisco? Before making that next big purchase, ask the question, Do I really want this? Or, instead, Should I finally make the down payment on that luxury boat I have always wanted? With the possibilities in store for adventure and relaxation, the answer should be clear.
