From small crafts to weekend cruisers, here are some of the best boats listed on the PM website today

Perhaps you are new to boating. Perhaps waiting a couple of years to finally get your brand new yacht is not something for which you are prepared. Or perhaps you don’t appreciate (pun intended) the depreciation rate of a new yacht. Whatever the reasons may be, you’ve decided that a preowned vessel is what you need right now – be it realising a long-held dream, or upgrading to your next yacht. In this list of 7 exemplary yachts are small coastal boats, as well as vessels large enough for spending many comfortable weekends, and of course, as always, get in touch with us should something pique your interest.

OSCA, Sunseeker Manhattan 63, USD1.2 million

Everything about Sunseeker’s Manhattan 63 just seems so… right. Her GRP work is flawless, stainless steel parts feel remarkably solid, there are no squeaks or rattles when walking around her saloon, and doors shut with a satisfying thunk while soft-close drawers glide silently into place. The quality of her build is superb, and like all Sunseekers, throwing her around in the water will always bring a smile to the face.

VAUDREY, Princess 60, EUR860,000

Sometimes, builders will try to fit everything they can into the frame of a boat. Sometimes, that’s good, as boaters will have more. However, sometimes, careful design that lets the space in the boat be its own feature is the way to go. This is one of those times; the Princess 60 exudes grace from her profiles, and her interior spaces match this quality as well. Boaters will never feel too cramped when they are enjoying her.

LOL, Gulf Craft Majesty 56, USD690,000

The first thing boaters will notice when climbing aboard the LOL is her enormous saloon with two symmetrical L-shaped seats that will easily fit 10 people in perfect comfort. The yard has very obviously placed emphasis on the areas that are most often used – spaces like the saloon, cabins, and flybridge – and designed them to be as large and comfortable as is possible. There’s even a space at the rear of the flybridge for a crane and tender without affecting the bridge’s utility at all.

Jeanneau Merry Fisher 1095, POA

Now, this MF1095 is a new boat, but since she is slated to arrive at the end of this year, she is included in this list as well, because placing an order for a new boat today will result in an almost 2-year wait for the vessel. One of the remarkable things about her is that her entire hull cavity is being used for 3 cabins, or a 2-cabin layout can be specified as well. This model comes as the former, and if more sleeping spaces are needed, her saloon seats can be converted into a berth for two.

Beneteau Baraccuda 9, USD135,000

The Beneteau Barracuda 9 is known for her versatility. Boaters can cruise, dine, sunbathe, fish, and even have some fun with watersports like wakeboard behind her. In fact, her dining area features three folding benches that can be moved out of the way for some serious fishing, while right behind this space is a swim platform to ease movement onto the boat from the water. For this price and for her size, she is seriously talented.

Gulf Craft Ambassador 3500, RM440,000

She is made to be a dayboat, and with her size comes plenty of space to enjoy the day out on the water. What’s more, she has recently undergone a major refurbishment to bring her back to her original regal shape, and her engines have been replaced as well.

COOL BREEZE, Four Winns 268 Vista, RM190,000

This cabin cruiser has been meticulously maintained, and the owner has upgraded quite a few parts too. She is now equipped with a new Volvo Penta engine, with a newly rebuild overdrive, while her electrical system has been converted from 110V to 220V to suit modern needs better.
