Buying a boat can be exciting and exhilarating, if you go about the process correctly. Many a boat buyer has come across frustration and disappointment because he or she did not take the time to do the proper research that is needed to buy a boat. Selecting the ideal boat is a real art, and can be a daunting task if you've never purchased a boat before.

To make the process easier for you, first consider the purpose of your boat. For example, if you are going to buy a fishing boat you will need to keep in mind the features and elements that you need in order to fish. Picking the type of boat you need will narrow down your options, as will the area that you plan to use your boat on. Boats used on the ocean are very different from those that are used on a lake or river. Consider also if your boat will be used for overnight stays or be used on rough waters.

The next consideration is your boat budget. Do some research and find out how far your money will go when buying a boat for your specific purposes. You might find out you may need to invest more to get a quality boat in your category, or you may be surprised to find that your budgeted amount will get you more boat than you expected.

Finally, pay attention to warranties that come with your boat. Boats of any type should come with a warranty and you need to know the details of the warranty before you buy the boat. You should analyze the boat warranty with scrutiny before buying and understand exactly what is covered and what is not. It is sometimes best to buy from a boat dealer that can provide services and replacements if the boat is found to be defective.

Size of the jet ski is important. There are jet skis that accommodate one person, two people or four people. The four-person model is a relatively new and quite popular model, so this may be hard to obtain used.

Most of day sailors (or even weekend sailors) will never really need navigational skills in order to be able to sail where they want. They will probably see the place right over the bow. People who sail further in the oceans, seas, and even on the Great Lakes of North America will - in turn - not get far without even the most elementary knowledge of how to find themselves on the charts, and where to sail next. As a matter of fact, they will sail far, very far - but from the course leading them to their port of destination.

Marinas are the top of the range as far as moorings are concerned. Moorings in a marina tend to provide deep water throughout the day and therefore a jetty or pontoon is provided so that you can walk to your boat without getting wet.These are known as Pontoon Moorings. They will also provide most of the facilities that you require whilst using your boat. These may include showers and toilets, chandlery, parking, cafe and even a clubhouse. The security provided by a marina will be good and in many cases will include electronic access gates and CCTV camaras.
