Choosing the Right Pre-Owned Boat When browsing our selection of pre-owned boats, it pays to think about how you'll actually use your vessel—and what matters most to you on the water. Start by considering the size: nimble center consoles like the Everglades and Chris Craft models are fantastic for day trips, local cruising, and exploring tight shallows. If venturing further offshore for fishing or weekend escapes is your dream, look at deeper-hulled boats or larger cruisers like those from Azimut, Sea Ray, or Beneteau for greater stability and comfort. Other important things to weigh: Intended use: Fishing, entertaining, watersports, or long-range cruising? Passenger capacity: How many friends or family will be joining you? Storage and amenities: Do you need overnight berths, a galley, or shaded lounging areas? Budget: Factor in not only the purchase price but ongoing maintenance, insurance, and marina fees. Condition and history: Walk through the service records and get a feel for how each boat has been maintained. Every boat on our list offers something unique, so don’t hesitate to reach out—our team is always happy to help steer you toward the perfect match for your boating lifestyle.

How to Choose the Right Boat Size and Style for You Selecting the ideal boat begins with a bit of self-reflection (and maybe a daydream or two). Before falling in love with those sleek lines or that sun-soaked deck, take a moment to think about where your adventures will take you. For inshore or lake cruising: Smaller, more agile models—think Chris Craft or Sea Ray bowriders—are perfect for tight spaces, shallower drafts, and navigating local bays without a hitch. Planning offshore excursions? Look for larger vessels with deeper V-hulls, like an Azimut or Hatteras, built to handle open water with extra stability and comfort. Boating with family or a crew of friends: Prioritize seating, cabin space, and amenities. Larger models such as the Beneteau GT series or Pershing cruisers offer roomy layouts and serious cruising comfort. Fishing, entertaining, or water sports: Match the features of each boat—live wells, swim platforms, outdoor grills—to your passions. Not sure where to start? Feel free to lean on our experienced team for advice. We’re happy to talk you through the options and help you find a boat that fits your lifestyle, budget, and favorite destinations—whether that means weekends off Coconut Grove, a dash to the Bahamas, or hosting sunset cocktails on the bay.

What We Look For in Pre-Owned Boats Before any boat makes it onto our pre-owned list, it undergoes a thorough multi-point inspection by seasoned professionals. Here's what gets our special attention: Hull and Structure: We check for signs of damage, stress, or repairs to ensure the vessel is seaworthy and sound. Engines and Mechanical Systems: Our team evaluates performance, undertakes compression tests, and examines service history to confirm reliable operation. Electrical and Navigation Equipment: From lights and electronics to GPS and navigation aids, all systems are checked for proper function and safety compliance. Onboard Amenities: Kitchens (galleys), bathrooms (heads), and cabins are reviewed for cleanliness and operational features—because comfort matters at sea, too. Safety Gear: Life jackets, fire extinguishers, and emergency equipment must meet current regulations and pass our checklist. Our goal is to offer you peace of mind, whether you're considering a classic Chris Craft or an innovative Beneteau—so you can focus on your next adventure, not surprise repairs.

The Right Boat for Every Adventure Not sure which pre-owned vessel fits your plans? Here’s a quick guide: Fishing: Look for boats with spacious decks, rod holders, and robust engines—think center consoles like Boston Whaler or Everglades, made to handle a day reeling in trophy catches. Cruising: Planning relaxed family getaways or sunset cruises? Express cruisers and motor yachts from makers like Sea Ray and Azimut offer comfort, ample seating, and smooth rides for you and your guests. Watersports: If waterskiing, wakeboarding, or tubing is on the agenda, choose a sporty bowrider or performance-oriented boat—brands like Formula or Chris-Craft deliver speed and agility for on-the-water thrills. Whether you’re angling off the coast, unwinding on the bay, or chasing wake at full throttle, our curated selection ensures there’s a match for every boating style and adventure.

Why Choose a Pre-Owned Boat? Opting for a pre-owned boat comes with a host of practical advantages. First and foremost, you’ll find that your dollar stretches further—allowing you to enjoy models that may come equipped with upgraded features, all at a lower price than their brand-new counterparts. In addition, pre-owned boats typically undergo thorough inspections before being offered for sale, so you can head out on the water with confidence in your purchase. Whether you're just dipping your toes in the world of boating or you're a seasoned mariner looking for more value, considering a used boat can open doors to options that fit your needs and budget without compromising on quality or adventure.
