Your Holiday Boat Shopping Guide

Forget Black Friday, Cyber Monday, and the rush of holiday sales events. If "This is the best Christmas ever!" is what you want to hear from your family, buy a new boat or yacht this holiday season. There is no greater past-time then spending the day on the water with family and friends, creating new memories. There are plenty of new and pre-owned boats available and United Yacht Sales has over 150 brokers worldwide to help you with your search.

And thanks to new tax legislation passed this year, if you meet the requirements laid out by the IRS through Section 179 then you can write-off 100% of the purchase price of your new or pre-owned yacht. While there are a few stipulations and we urge you to speak with your tax advisor, this can greatly offset the cost of your new boat. Even upgrades like electronics can be covered!

We've compiled 10 excellent options for many different boat types, brands, and price ranges. If you don't see something you like below, give our main office a call at (772) 463-3131 and we'll connect you with a local broker that will listen to your needs and do the work of researching the market and history of each potential boat.
