One of the key decisions in purchasing a yacht is not just the design and versatility but a future return on investment. This is often the most overlooked aspect of a very important purchase as many yachts depreciate significantly during the first 3 years, and you can quickly see your initial investment worth 33% of that when you come to sell.

Parker’s pride themselves in two things:

1. Our second hand market is very active we are constantly being asked, “do we know of any of our yachts that are on the market?” This is because they are built to last. We pride ourselves in understanding yacht technology, customer requirements and putting these concepts into every one of our yachts. This means if you do come to sell your boat (why we ask?) you know you will get a very good price.

2. Our depreciation on our yachts is very low – we know some customers who have sold at the same price as they purchased the yachts for – sometimes more. This is very important in your decision-making. Parker’s are not the cheapest yachts on the market and never will be but we retain our value. A 285 purchased 3 years ago for £45,000 will now still be worth around £38,000, something that our competition will find difficult to match.
