Why is the last quarter of the year the best time to buy a boat? aYachts gives you the keys to the best time to buy a boat

The last quarter of the year has proven to be, year after year, the best time to buy a boat. From October to December, the nautical market offers a series of advantages that make this period an unbeatable opportunity for those interested in acquiring a boat.

Among the main reasons pointed out by aYachts, is the price adjustment. Many brands and dealers are looking to close the year with good sales figures, resulting in discounts and special offers that are not usually available at other times of the year. This benefits buyers who can acquire a high-end boat at more competitive prices, with incentives such as preferential financing and better negotiating terms.

Another key aspect is that manufacturers typically launch their new models at the start of the following year, meaning that promotions on current season models are offered during the last quarter. “For buyers looking to get maximum value for their investment, this is the ideal time to secure a quality boat without paying full price for a newly launched model,” explains Magin Roger, CEO of aYachts.

In addition, purchasing a boat at this time of year allows new owners to prepare in time for the peak boating season. “If you buy a boat at the end of the year, you can take advantage of the winter months to customize it, equip it and make any necessary adjustments so that it is ready to sail when spring arrives,” says Dario Lopez, yacht broker at aYachts.

The lower volume of activity in the shipyards also plays in favor of buyers, since, with less demand compared to the high season, delivery times tend to be faster and service companies are more available to attend to clients' needs in a personalized way.

Finally, aYachts stresses that the last quarter is a strategic time for investors, as investing in a boat at this time can generate tax advantages, depending on local legislation, making it a smart move for those looking to optimize their asset portfolio.

With these advantages in mind, from aYachts Sales & Charter we encourage buyers to take advantage of this period to explore its catalog of luxury boats, which includes options for all tastes and sailing styles. We are here to advise our clients every step of the way, making sure they find the ideal yacht for their needs, at the best price of the year.
