The possibility of a direct purchase from the previous owner should not be excluded either.

In that case, you can also carry out the search via non-specialised sales portals, such as subito.it or secondamano.it ,

Unfortunately it is not uncommon to come across advertisements written by professional operators through unofficial channels or, on the contrary, others that are not very detailed because the seller is unable to provide accurate and complete information .

That’s why an effective, although much more laborious, method is to walk around the docks and read the sale notices posted directly on the boats or on the notice boards in the nautical clubs.

Of course the process will take much longer , but it has the advantage that you can see the boat in person.

And most importantly, it is much more fun!!

You might want to consider this if you are thinking of spending a few holidays at sea and cruising around a few harbours before buying a boat of your own.
