The decision to buy a boat may come with
innumerable questions. Which model should you
buy? Which boat is fuel efficient? Should your
yacht have sails, motors or both? Which pontoon

First, let's discuss the categories of
watercrafts available.

What Type Of Watercraft You Should Buy?

The model of boat you want to buy depends on how
you want to enjoy the water. Do you want it for
sporting, fishing, hosting boat parties, family
outings, barbeque parties, water adventures or
simply for renting out?
Bowriders Bow refers to the front part of the
forward or front part of the craft. Bowriders
offer seating space in the bow of the vessels.
Depending on your budget, you can find a luxury
design or a basic economic design.
Yachts Yachts are vessels specifically designed
for leisure and recreational purposes like
hosting lunch parties, water sports, fishing,
cruising, etc. You can spend as extravagantly as
you want on your yacht.

What Type Of Watercraft You Should Buy?

Fishing boats These crafts are specially
equipped and designed for fishing activities like
sport fishing. When you rent a boat Toronto
through online venues, you can pick watercraft
offering special fishing provisions.
Pontoons and houseboats Modern pontoons are not
always like the renaissance pontoons that you've
seen. Pontoons are flat bottomed boats offering
enough space to stay and enjoy the craft. A
perfect vessel for a family outing.
High Performance Power Boats These boats are
equipped with high-power engines that help you
race against the water at high speeds. Depending
on how luxurious you want your craft, you can get
sleeping and dining areas within the vessel.

What Type Of Watercraft You Should Buy?

Sports Water Crafts These vessels are designed
only for sporting activities like jet skies,
rafting vessels, kayaks, etc. At online venues
for boat and kayak rental Toronto, you can search
for vessels depending on the type of sport.
Do your research before you choose the type and
model of your boat.

Should You Buy A Used Boat Or A Brand New Vessel?

With little research, you'll find numerous
second-hand oats costing much less than the same
brand new model. Modern boats are built with
fibreglass and aluminum, which don't warp or rot
like conventional wooden boats.
You can save a significant amount of upfront
costs when you buy a used vessel. However, it
also increases the variables. You may need to pay
more on maintenance if the used boat is not in
good condition.
When you rent a yacht Montreal, you don't need to
worry about the maintenance. You can just hop on
and enjoy your ride. You can even connect with
the owner to understand the vessel's current
condition to negotiate your rent.

Browse Through Multiple Listings

Buying a boat involves considerable finances.
Therefore you need to have complete knowledge of
the vessel you're buying. Compare models,
features, prices, or take virtual tours from
various listings to get an adequate
understanding.
You can customize your search by location, boat
type, length or model name.
It can be disappointing to see a stunning picture
of the craft only to discover it's far from even
satisfactory when you go for a physical visit.
Follow these tips to prevent such disappointments
and waste of time

11
Browse Through Multiple Listings

Compare the images uploaded by the owners between
similar models to identify what isn't mentioned
on a specific listing. It might be a red flag
feature for that boat.
Compare highlights or descriptions between
listings to understand what you will get with
every deal and what's different about each
specific vessel.
If you're planning to buy your boat from a
dealer, browse through the rest of the listings
as well. This'll help you get an idea of the
overall business.

Browse Through Multiple Listings

Stay away from boats that offer numerous
components that you may not use or are outdated.
Later they'll unnecessarily add up to your
maintenance cost.
Check the dealer reviews. A good dealer can help
you with the maintenance, upkeep and other
post-sales services.
Once you've finally narrowed down your
selections, you'll need to go for a physical
visit and test run before closing the deal.

Browse Through Multiple Listings

When you rent a boat in Toronto, you can easily
skip this painstaking part of the physical visit
and identify red flags.
With online rental venues, you can chat with the
owner, compare the listings, photos and
descriptions and pick the one that best suits
your budget. In case of doubts or queries, you
can directly chat with the owner.

Physically Inspect Your Boat

The physical inspection involves the following
stages
A superficial inspection comparing the boat
condition, features, etc., with what was
mentioned in the listing and shown in the
pictures.
If you're stratified with the initial inspection,
take a test ride to access the vessel's
performance in the water.
Before progressing to the final purchase, don't
forget to make arrangements for hauling the boat
for inspecting the hidden parts in the water. The
part hidden below the waterline is critical for
your safety and enjoyment.

Physically Inspect Your Boat

Get a professional surveyor to get the condition
of your boat inspected. When you go for obtaining
an insurance policy, your craft anyways needs to
undergo a professional inspection.
When you rent a yacht in Montreal or anywhere in
Canada, you don't need to conduct such an
extensive inspection.
On the day of your trip, you can just look out
for the safety features and general condition to
know if it was worth the rent you paid. No need
to get it hauled or professionally inspected.
