Are you going to buy a boat for the first time? That is a wonderful prospect! However, it is important to find out in advance how much you will have to spend each year on things like maintenance and insurance. That way you will be well prepared when you take to the water.
To take into account: how much does a boat cost?
Boat insurance. It is wise to take out insurance for your boat, although this is not compulsory in the Netherlands. Then you can go out on the water with an easy mind. Wherever you sail. You choose how extensively you insure your boat. Get good advice and choose the insurance that suits you best.
Boat mooring costs. In addition to the costs of insurance, you also have to pay berthing fees. Do you want to know how much these are? Ask the marinas in Central Limburg about this. Do you not use your boat in the winter? Then you also pay for the stay in the dry dock.
Boat maintenance and fuel costs. You also need to take into account regular maintenance and fuel costs. These depend on the type of boat you buy.
Unforeseen costs boat. Finally, it is good to include unforeseen costs in your budget. That way you avoid unpleasant surprises.
Overview of your costs Unfortunately there is no exact formula to calculate the annual costs. How much you pay each year depends, among other things, on the type of boat, how often you sail it and how well you maintain it. But on average, annual costs are 10% of the purchase price. To find out if this is true for you, add up your costs. This may take some time, but it ensures that you don't have to worry about anything while sailing. Well, that is enjoyment!
