A Day on the Water in a Luxury Boat

April 04, 2019

The luxury lifestyle starts with those elegant and extravagant luxury homes at the Lake of the Ozarks. The views, the amenities, and the best part? The easy accessibilityy to the water. When you cruise down the main channel, you’ll notice two things, the big homes and the big boats - they go hand in hand. If you are in the market for a million dollar home at the Lake of the Ozarks, I can assist you with that. If you are in the market for a yacht to dock in front of your Luxury Lake Home, I can offer some buying suggestions.

What Kind of Boating Do you Want to Do?

Before buying your luxury boat, you’ll want to think about the type of boating you want to enjoy. Think about it and be realistic. Lake day-sailing, all day fishing, lounging in the sun? These types of activities will determine the type of boat you need, as well as how it will need to be outfitted.

Sailboat or Powerboat?

Both a sailboat and a powerboat will require knowledge and seamanship, as well as marine maintenance. Are you a laid back boater who wants to just enjoy a day on the water? A relaxing day on a sailboat may be just up your alley. Sailboats may not be the most popular option at the Lake, but it is not uncommon to look out the lakeview window and see a sailboat driftng along. If you’re hunting for the next fishing waypoint or ready to race across the lake to the next restaurant, you may enjoy a power boat more.

New or Preowned?

This is a huge decision, similar to buying a new or pre-owned vehicle. New boats will be more costly, but they will come with more custom options - delivered to you exactly the way you would like. However, the preowned market is huge, and you’ll have plenty of negotiation room. There are many boats on the market, so determining this choice will help you decide where to go, and also show you how many choices you will have.

Do You Have a Material Preference?

If you are new to boats, this may not mean much to you. If you are a boating enthusiast, you may already have this picked out. Most boats are built with fiberglass, but steel, wood, and even carbon-fiber are options as well. If you opt for a sailboat, do you want a monohull or catamaran? Going for a powerboat? Do you want a trawler or a fishing boat? Trawlers are made for comfort and space, power boats are used for fishing with a completely different design.

Start Shopping

Now is a great time to start shopping for both your yacht and your luxury lakefront home at the Lake of the Ozarks. Summer is already starting to show signs as the grass starts to turn green and the buds are starting to pop.
