Buy a sailing yacht in Croatia? Yes, exactly, that's my biggest dream. I've been to Croatia very often now and would love to vacation only there. But always staying in a hotel has its perks, yet it gets kind of boring in the long run. Unfortunately, I don't have any relatives there either. So I thought I might buy a sailing yacht of my own. I love sailing more than anything!

Here is what fascinates me so much about this vacation destination:

  • dreamy beaches
  • lots of friendly people
  • blue water
  • impressive scenery

I could say plenty more about what fascinates me so much about this country, but what I care about most here is the sailing yacht. I absolutely want to buy a sailing yacht in Croatia so I can be free and independent. I simply don't want to depend on hotels, hostels or inns anymore. That also has to do with my dog, whom I always want to take on vacation. Nothing works for me without my dog, and I would never leave him in strangers' hands. I'd rather skip the vacation. I just couldn't bring myself to leave a dog alone or to drop him off somewhere. That wouldn't be a nice vacation for me, because I'd feel guilty the whole time.

But how do I actually get my hands on a suitable yacht? Does anyone have an idea? I really need helpful advice, because I want to spend my first big vacation on my very own yacht as early as next year. What does a yacht like that cost? What should I look out for when buying? Surely there is an expert who can answer my questions competently? I would definitely be very happy.

Buying a sailing yacht in Croatia with financing

I currently work in retail and am just barely getting by. So I certainly won't be able to afford a sailing yacht as a lump-sum payment. That means I also need to know what options there are when it comes to financing. I've already worked out exactly how much I'd have available for it each month. However, in case that doesn't work out, I've also thought about buying a used yacht. Does anyone have experience in this area? The question is what disadvantages can come up in that context. How old can a used yacht be at most? Can you compare it to a car? If a car is, say, over 20 or 25 years old and already has 150,000 miles on the odometer, you would certainly think very carefully about whether buying it still makes sense.

Maybe it's very similar with a sailing yacht? It would also be important to learn which defects are actually relevant and how to spot important defects at all. I know, that's really a lot of questions. But I consider it absolutely necessary to look at this topic very thoroughly. I'm also a little afraid of a risky bad buy. After all, this is a very big purchase, and not one you can rush. The topic of buying a sailing yacht in Croatia is nerve-racking!
