Buying a new or used boat : how to choose?
You're planning to buy a boat on the Var coast?
You have two options: buying a new boat or a used one. The hard part is choosing!
Mercurio, your specialist in boat sales in the Gulf of Saint-Tropez, will help you make the best choice for exploring the waters of the Mediterranean.
Why buy a new boat?
First option: you prefer to buy a new boat, but you'd like to know more about this choice and the advantages it offers. When we talk about a new boat, we're talking about :
Perfect condition
Being new, the boat is in perfect general condition, with no malfunctions requiring expensive repair and maintenance.
State-of-the-art technology
New boats are equipped with the latest innovations in the sector, particularly in terms of comfort, navigation and safety.
A manufacturer's warranty
In the event of a technical problem, you benefit from the added security of a manufacturer's warranty.
A custom-built boat
Buying a new boat means you can customize it as you wish, choosing equipment, finishes and options to create a boat that's just like you.
A brand image
By acquiring a new boat, you benefit from the brand image of your boat, often synonymous with modernity and prestige, depending on the model selected.

Why buy a used boat?
Would you prefer to buy a pre-owned boat? You're right, here's why :
More affordable
Because they're second-hand, pre-owned boats are often less expensive than new boats, so you can buy a very nice model.
A wide choice of models
You have a wide choice of boats in terms of model, size, equipment and finish.
A boat already equipped
When you buy a pre-owned boat, you benefit from a boat that's already equipped with everything you need to get out on the water.
A safer investment
The value of a new boat diminishes rapidly as soon as it's launched, whereas a pre-owned boat has already begun to depreciate.
Your dream of buying a boat is now within reach, thanks to the pre-owned boats we offer at Mercurio.
Criteria to consider when buying a new or used boat
To make your choice and finally enjoy the joy of owning your own boat, here are a few criteria to consider when choosing between a new or pre-owned boat.
Your budget
Your budget is a decisive factor in your choice. To make life easier, draw up a precise budget for your purchase, remembering to include ancillary costs such as your berth in a private marina, insurance or maintenance and repairs.
Your personalization wishes
If you want to fully customize your boat, it's easier to do so on a new boat. Would you prefer a boat that's ready to sail? A pre-owned boat is the best option.
Your sailing experience
If you're just starting out, it's a good idea to opt for a boat that's easy to handle, whereas if you're more experienced, you can opt for a sportier, higher-performance model.
Your intended use
