When it comes to purchasing your dream superyacht, many owners will immediately consider buying a new build. Designed and fully customized to its owners’ exact wishes, a new-build superyacht will feature the latest equipment, technology and options. However, the cost of a new build yacht is usually much higher than a refitted superyacht and takes years to deliver. It is not uncommon to wait for two, three years, or longer for delivery of a new build. On the other hand, purchasing a refitted yacht can take an ounce of the amount of time it takes to construct a new build, often at a fraction of the price. A refitted superyacht can be enjoyed much sooner by her owners than a new-build, and still reflect her new owners taste style and personality. A few changes to the decor and interior can breathe new life into any yacht, and make it feel like home in no time. By purchasing a preowned yacht which has recently been refitted, potential owners will be able to enjoy their new vessels in a matter of months, rather than years. What’s more, purchasing a refitted superyacht also gives owners the chance to acquire a pedigree superyacht, one which they may not have been able to afford as a new build. A refitted yacht will also retain its value, making it easier to resell if and when the time should come.
