The Vallarta Advantage. Buying your boat in Paradise offers a huge advantage given the fact that our inventory represents proven passage-making vessels. Most of our vessels come equipped with late model electronics and equipped for those "ready to go" cruising dreams.
Purchasing a vessel in Mexico is an "offshore purchase" and may yield tax advantages.
As your broker, we work hard to provide you with as much information and assessments about the type of boat that interests you, several examples of boats that are currently available, and strategy to plan your purchase. As members of Yachtworld, we are part of Boat Wizard Multiple Listing Service (MLS) that provides us with the dates, prices, locations of listings, and information on boats for sale and sold boats all over the world, enabling us to fully research the market. Naturally, we can't know everything, the good points or the bad points, of a particular boat. But, we do use our own boating experience and cruising knowledge, along with our professional experience, to give you our honest opinion of a boat's condition and how it might fit into your own plans. We understand the long-term value of a win-win transaction for everyone involved.
