Isara 50 Owners Version at the
Miami International Boat Show

World Wide Catamarans & ISARA YACHTS showcases its first owners version Isara 50 at the Miami Boat Show next week.

Another Isara 50, this time an owners version of the fabulous 50 presented by ISARA YACHTS at the Miami International Boat Show 13-17th Feb.
Both Jane and I will be on the boat to meet clients wishing to have a look around along with Cris the CEO of ISARA YACHTS.
With the interest generated from the Isaraâ€™s debut at the Spring and Fall Annapolis shows last year the eagerly awaited owners version is at last available to view at the show by the skin of its teeth. Just literally dropped in the water from the cargo ship, and just about made it to the show giving us all some anxious moments!

With the recent announcement of the new 45ft version under development, tooling completed and now hulls 1, 2 and 3 in build, it will not be long before these catamarans are a serious challenger in the 45 ft market.
Designed by Jean Jacques Coste and Roel De Groote the best in the business, the new Isara 45 is an exciting new development and with three confirmed orders now, the first destined for Greece, one for Spain and one more bound for the USA.

Build slots are now available for reservation, before, during and after the Miami International Boat Show and until hull number one is launched, ISARA YACHTS are offering some mouth watering offers.

With the recent announcement by ISARA YACHTS increasing their standard options included in the price tag of intelligent glass, Copper Coat (10 year anti fouling) and many more unique selling points only offered by ISARA YACHTS, making the very desirable Isara 45 even more desirable!

With engines again mounted amidships for even weight distribution and again offering the Hybrid Option not to mention the trademark good looks the Isara 45 has as much usable space on board as the 50.
The new sail plan approved by Jean Jacques Coste is going with the idea that the ISARA YACHTS range will be easily handled by a husband and wife team enjoying long distance safe cruising.
Still offering a powerful easy handled rig with the mast set back allowing a larger Genoa and a smaller balanced main which can accommodate in boom furling for even easier handling.

With the new Isara 55 also progressing we will update the growing fans of ISARA YACHTS Catamarans shortly.

NEWS

With some new listings appearing on our Brokerage this month, a nice Privilege 43 in Spain, a re-listed Tobago 35 and a Lagoon 440 Owners Version is still available and we are surprised that this immaculate example has not been snapped up, priced to sell and ready to go.

We had some excitement this month with the sale of a super Superyacht which was sold for an absolute bargain. We would have had an easier job of selling it if it had been 5 times the price as buyers thought it was just too good to be true.

WORLDWIDE CATAMARANS have some interesting developments with new partners in the USA and Australia joining the team. In this â€œDog Eat Dog" world we like working with nice people and want you to have nice people to do business with, who share the same values as us.

SELLING YOUR BOAT

Worldwide Catamarans tell you how it is! (The short version)

Insult somebodyâ€™s Mother they will get upset, you insult their boat you are asking for a fat lip!

We just want to help you sell the boat, this is team work so cooperate with your broker, find the ships papers now, not the day a buyer comes along. We can do something about it if we have time on our side obtaining duplicates if necessary. The biggest reason for a sale falling through is missing paperwork, a small scrap of paper saying sold as seen, tried and tested, one boat is not good enough these days, I am afraid.

Firstly de-clutter, any buyer will not be as impressed as you with your collection of 27 impellers or spares that you have gathered over the years, or bits of rope and string that one day may come in useful, or the 5 spare props 3 spare anchors! Be ruthless!!!

Clean it or pay someone to do it properly and I donâ€™t mean water it, I mean clean it inside and out and woman clean not man clean, you know exactly what I mean!
Use some elbow greece and put some polish on it even an old boat will look much better clean.
Clean the engine compartments, the engine and the bilges

Those bits that you meant to fix, do it now fix them. First impressions count and that bit of rubbing strake hanging off, will not help the sale.

We have spent a lot of money in advertising, time and effort to get those clients to see your boat and you may only get one shot at this, so get it right first time. Someone will be spending money on flights or travel to see your pride and joy and they are not professional boat looker atters! If somebody commits themselves to viewing they have put themselves out, they are serious customers.

If you can get some good high resolution pictures to your broker it will help sell the boat. There are never enough pictures. Take them of the engines, the heads, the saloons and every cabin. The hulls, in the water out of the water, the electronics the tender, the outboard everything.

Make an inventory list of everything to be sold with the yacht down to the last deck brush. If it is on the inventory it is included in the sale.

Location, Location, Location. If you find a cheap resting place for your boat that is tucked away in a group of islands difficult to get to with a three day wait stranded in an obscure airport waiting for a connecting flight, chances are that your boat however good it is will be parked there for a long time. Put it somewhere that it is easy to view, close to an international airport!
It will be easier for viewings and people to get to. We had a cat for sale in the Greek Islands for two years and the owner brought it to mainland Spain between two international airports and we sold it within a week!

Use a good broker. (Preferably us) So you may feel that you can sell your boat yourself, go ahead, but once you have had an endless stream of hull kickers waiting for you to drop the price like a line of vultures on a fence and everyone of them will ask the same question first, â€œwhat is the least you will take for the boatâ€ you get chipped so much on the price anyway, normally more than the brokers commission.

A buyer will feel more comfortable knowing that the paperwork has been done correctly by a broker and will translate from buyers to sellers language ie. Buyer: Your boat looks like a heap of junk. Translated to the seller. I think that the buyer felt that the yacht needed some minor cosmetics to present it in its best lightâ€! It will save anyone from getting emotional. Parting with your old fiend is difficult enough, without listening to derogatory comments from a buyer trying to reduce the price.

(The long version will be posted on our site soon)
