Celebrate the New Year in style with a new motor boat - By: Logan Patel

Considering treating your family to a motor boat or yacht? Yachts and boats are great investments, not only are they excellent tools for weekend and day trips, you can also rent your boat out and make a small fortune during the peak seasons. With hundreds of motor boats and yachts to choose from its hard to know where to start, particularly if this is your first boat purchase. From motor cruisers, day boats, fishing boats and sports boats all seemingly doing the same thing, weve got some much needed advice to help you choose your new motor.

The term boat generally refers to a smaller vessel. Theyre often cheaper than yachts and also easier to navigate with. For people who are new to sailing, the motor boat is often considered the best option, due to its ease of navigation. Yachts are considered as the more luxurious choice, due to their stylish appearances and prestigious methods of navigation.

Choosing your boat will depend on a number of different factors. Number one being the number of passengers you wish it to accommodate. Of course the bigger the boat the more expensive it will be, however if you wish to rent your boat out, a bigger vessel will mean a larger rental price. When looking around boats either at a show, online or in a publication, bear in mind that a cabin will generally hold two people. Therefore, for a family of four you will need a boat with two cabins.

If you are experienced in sailing, then a sailing boat or yacht will be more favourable, as they are less expensive to both buy and run. However, very few people these days have sailing knowledge, so purchasing a motor boat will mean you have a wider audience when renting. Its a good idea to go and look around several boats before you purchase, in order to get a feel for the style of boat you want. There are a wide range of boating events that run all year round such as, boat shows, boat races and even open days where you can visit the warehouses where boats are made. Speaking to other boat owners in your area is also a good idea, as they will be able to give you advice on the best places to keep your boat and the best areas to travel around.

What may surprise you is that although motor boats may appear compact on board, they often have a large amount space below deck. Take the Fairline Squadron 55 for example, a British designed motor boat, which at first sight appears to be a small day boat with little accommodation. However, this luxury vessel actually has 3 cabins, each with gorgeous cream leather and cherry oak interior, deep woollen carpets and spot lighting. Large dining and seating areas, two magnificent staterooms, one twin room and two surprisingly large shower rooms, make this motor boat perfect for weekend trips with family and friends. The touch screen pilot navigation system is also extremely user friendly and there is even an LCD display, which tells you how many gallons of fuel are in the tank.

Whatever your price range you will no doubt find the boat or yacht that meets your needs and requirements. There are also now online directories that allow you to search for your ideal boat, with listed models from all across the globe. Online boating directories also provide information about up and coming boating events.
