 Our experience comes from hard work as seaman, as captain and broker for 21 years at sea onboard yachts, ships, boatyards or Marinas. we wanted to gather all what we can and make sure that nothing is excluded from a small dinghy to Large yacht. We have personally expertized each and every one of them to make sure the asking price is right both for the owner and the buyer, we have helped many yacht owners to sell as well as others to own a yacht. Always honest and frank to deserve our reputation. When you really decide to buy a yacht you need to be acompanied by an expert captain who can make a difference between a total loss or a perfect buy… You should know what you are really looking for and explain how big or how fast the yacht should be so that we propose a perfect match.  Contemporary Motoryachts are built with very advanced technologies which are resistant to sea water and far more stronger than ordinary wood planking system. The new generation materials are being chosen according to type of the vessel, either for speed cruising or sailing performance. Some boatyards build with western system epoxy laminated wood or GRP (glass fibre reinforced polyester), some need a displacement yacht for long range cruising and some ask for a lightweight, fast cruising vessels. advanced new generation motoryachts are built with closed cell PVC plates and epoxy laminated grp system which is called compozite system which are more expensive. İt is also crucial to know where the yacht has been used, the waters in which she has navigated in order to decide if she has been subject to constant severe weather conditions. You need to measure the engine compressions to verify the conditions of the main and auxiliary engines as well as pumps and airconditioning system. İf the boat is made of fiber glass then you need an expert to see if she has been effected with osmosis which is as crucial as saying yes or no. if you are buying a steel yacht, then you need to measure the hull thickness and verify if she has cracks in weldings. When considering a second hand classic wooden planked yacht, one has to know what kind of wooden is used for building and if there are any rotten parts under the paint which could be the worse deal you have ever made. Reconditioning of a wooden yacht is quite difficult and requires countless time and money since you cannot repaint her unless otherwise the hull is completely replanked, renailed and repaired. The furnitures are the tricky part where you might be impressed and decide to buy a yacht since you need to be able to calculate the final figures…  As yacht master, we have accumulated quite an experience working with yachts built with different construction materials, most of them were built with wooden either west system epoxy lamination or GRP or classic carvel planking. Timber construction happens to be still favourite material in Turkey for its nostalgic warmth and ease to use in construction, however the interiors and furnitures has always been and always will be preferred to be wooden materials. So far many Turkish boat yards still use quality timber products to build luxury gulets namely oak, chestnut and tropical hardwoods such as Teak and Mahogany. The turkish Gulets has a well deserved reputation for their stability, spaciousness, seaworthiness and strong building technics that we have sold many turkish gulets to Greece. Italy, Croatia, France, Spain, Dubai, UAE, Thailand etc. Since they are strong , cheap and can sail anywhere in the world with their long keels and economic cruising as well as sailing capabilities up to 35 degrees windward. Turkish gulets righteously considered to be number one in modern and luxury yachts built with timber, not to forget their economic price and capacity to perform as charter yachts are superior to any other type and/or brand name yachts. Recently Turkish boatyards have commenced to build steel hull gulets which are considered to be even more efficient and far more economic and faster than wooden hull materials, steel gulets with hydraulic sail riggings and state of the art technologic navigational devices makes them a strong rival to modern motor sailors and even motoryachts, considering utmost safety, comfort and spacious interiors are trademarks of Turkish gulets for the upcoming decades. Second hand or preowned gulets are the most convenient alternatives to couples who choose to live aboard and for the retired ones who prefer to enjoy the best of everything with peace of mind and pleasure.  GRP sailing yachts are worshipped for their lifespan longevity, ease of maintanence, being lightweight, strong and faster compared to steel, ferrocement or wooden yachts. They are easy to repair and easy to maintain in tip top shape for many years, Glass reinforced plastic is the preferred yacht construction material (after carbon kevlar of course ) for many people who consider sailing as utmost adrenalin resource. People buy and sell fiber glass boats as second hand alternatives since everybody wants bigger and better boat, so the yachts exchange hands constantly, we also prefer a plastik boat for sailing, blue cruising and yachting vacations people tend to attach to their boats and Catamarans however after a while small sailing yachts becomes dull and insufficient for friends and family who also enjoy sailing and the fiber boats due to restricted space, sleeping berths, small dining areas etc. Are replaced by a large epoxy laminated wooden yachts with huge master cabins, spacious dining and wineing areas not to forget sunbathing areas and even space for water toys such as water jets, canoes etc. Second hand, used or preowned yachts can be a relief to sell or can be a great bargain if the yacht and price is right,Sometimes it can become a burden to have a yacht unattended, if not maintained well, a yacht may deteriorate and become a headache more than a pleasure. İf you own a yacht which not in use for lack of time or money its better to sell her and let someone else give her a chance to splash the waves. In Turkish we have a saying which might be very common or similar amongst yacht owners worldwide that we say there are only two most beautiful days which you enjoy with your boat, that is first day, when you bought her and the second is when you sold her… there is nothing outrageous when people say having a boat is like tearing dollar bills under the shower however there is nothing better than having your boat where you are the ultimate authority on board and you feel like the king of the seas either with a dinghy or a mega yacht… |
