Buyer’s guide to motorboats: finding your perfect boat
Buying a motorboat can be a lifetime project. Before making your purchase, it is vital to ensure that you choose the boat that fits best with your sailing plan. Buying a motorboat that matches your needs and desires will guarantee you maximum enjoyment and a host of unforgettable days out. To be sure of choosing the right boat from our range of yachts and motorboats , means asking the right questions and prioritizing a list of criteria (navigation programme, size, comfort, onboard equipment and fittings, engine rating, etc.).
Use BENETEAU’s motorboat buying guide to help you ask the right questions and find the boat that is right for you. The main consideration: a boat that is going to guarantee you memorable days out on the water, for a day, a weekend, a week or even your whole life.
BUYING A MOTORBOAT: YOUR TICKET TO FREEDOM!
Contrary to popular belief, anyone can enjoy the pleasures of motor boating and try out all sorts of water sports and leisure activities; the wide range of boats on offer means that there is something for everyone whatever their level of experience. The extraordinary diversity of models means there is a motorboat for every type of sailing programme: from buying a yacht for experienced sailors, to a mid-sized speedboat, easier to handle for first-time buyers.
Owning a motorboat opens up a whole new world of marine activities:
Leisurely day trips spent exploring coasts and islands - ideal for relaxation and a change of scene.
Exciting fishing trips - with rod and reel from the boat or onshore, or underwater fishing in little coves that you can only reach by boat.

Water sports like water skiing, wakeboarding, tubing, etc.
Thrilling, high-speed rides on a powerful speedboat.

Buying a yacht: a floating second home
Buying a motorboat can provide a real opportunity for investment. For instance, purchasing a yacht is like investing in a floating second home. Whether you intend to go on day trips or longer cruises, this type of boat with its exceptional range gives you the freedom to set sail whenever you want, for as long as you want, and in exceptional comfort. Like any house or apartment, BENETEAU yachts are all equipped with several cabins with all the comfort of an onshore bedroom, a galley area, or even an entire, fully equipped kitchen. They also boast comfortably kitted out deck areas with unbeatable panoramic views wherever you are. The ideal solution if you are intending to take longer cruises and, why not, sail right around the globe.

HOW TO CHOOSE YOUR MOTORBOAT?
The first step in choosing your motorboat is to define your sailing project .
It is essential to have a clear idea of your sailing project, as this will help you focus your choice on the boat range that fits best with your sailing plans. This can be extremely useful given the huge range of models on offer in the BENETEAU boat range. By asking the right questions, you will discover whether your preference is for day-trips, in which case a Flyer 6 SPACEdeck , the smallest boat in the Flyer range, sold fully-equipped and ready-to-sail at € 31,664 would suit you fine, or whether you intend to go on family weekend cruises, in which case an Antares 7 would be the better option.
The best way to develop your sailing project is to discuss it with professionals who will provide you with valuable feedback. While the best place for this would be the pontoon where your future boat is going to be berthed, you will also find experienced professionals at all BENETEAU dealers and trade shows who will be happy to advise you and help you determine your needs, define your priorities and identify which range and model is the one that suits you best.
Which motorboat for which activity?
Once you have a clear idea of what you want to do with your motorboat, it is time to look for the model that is best suited to your planned activities. Making the right choice means you will sail more often, creating lasting memories of unforgettable days out. While some BENETEAU boats may be more suited to a specific activity, they are all nevertheless highly versatile.
A boat for fishing and cruising?
Whether you want to go fishing or take a day trip, the smaller models in the Antares range are all perfectly suitable. Whether the largest of the Weekender models, like the Antares 9 , or the smaller Pocket Cruiser models, such as the Antares 7 that has the added advantage of being towable, all these boats are spacious and comfortable, and perfect for leisurely fishing trips. They are also fun to drive, highly manoeuvrable and easy to steer. They will guarantee easy access to your favourite fishing spots for fun-filled days out with family or friends catching mackerel, sea bream and other sea bass species.

A speedboat for water sports and day-trips?
BENETEAU also develops boats fitted with one or more powerful engines designed for water-sports enthusiasts looking for exciting days out. On a calm sea, these boats are perfect for wakeboarding or just for pushing the engine to its maximum to enjoy the thrilling sensation of speeding over the water with the spray in your face. These comfortable boats are ideal for day trips, with the advantage of a cabin fitted with a double berth, perfect for rest and relaxation, as shown in the Flyer 8 SUNdeck .
Other, larger boats, like those in the Swift Trawler range, are genuine holiday homes that are perfect for longer cruises. You can spend one or more nights at sea on these comfortable, energy-efficient boats, waking up each morning in a different bay or cove.

A yacht designed for longer cruises?
If you are looking for a motorboat that you can use for cruises of indefinite length in optimal comfort, you need to think about getting a yacht. The Grand Trawler 62 or the Monte-Carlo 52 will both guarantee you unforgettable cruises in a top-of-the-range floating home. These boats have an excellent range that lets you steer a course to the faraway destinations that you have always dreamt about.

WHICH IS THE BEST ENGINE FOR THE BOAT?
There are two main types of boat engine:
Boats with outboard motors, i.e. fixed to the outside of the hull
Boats with inboard motors, i.e. housed inside the hull
Deciding which engine model to choose could not be simpler. This is because your chosen boat model will be automatically fitted with the motor that is most suitable for its size, weight or its technological features.
Outboard models
Outboard motors are the usual choice for the smaller boat models, for several reasons:
Outboard motors offer great manoeuvrability
They guarantee a thrilling ride
They are easier to clean and maintain
They are lighter than inboard motors and can be fixed to the back of the boat without altering its stability.
The Flyer 9 SUNdeck, a welcoming outboard model with sleek finishes
Inboard models
Inboard motors are more suitable for larger boats with more ample fixtures and fittings. It makes better use of the space in the saloon area and inside the boat and provides for more even weight distribution. This option allows you to choose a diesel-powered motor, in contrast to outboard motors which generally use gasoline. To sum up, inboard motors are quieter than outboard motors and are easier to fit with new technologies, such as Ship Control® , an onboard computer providing navigational assistance.

WHICH SIZE MOTORBOAT TO CHOOSE?
Choose a boat that is appropriate to your level of experience.
Another vital consideration when buying your motorboat is to decide which size is right for you. This decision needs to take account of your level of sailing experience, for the simple reason that the larger the boat, the greater the level of skill required to handle it, to manoeuvre in harbour and to pilot it smoothly to ensure maximum sailing enjoyment.
Start small and gradually work up to the bigger boats
Beginners would be advised to start with the smallest boats in order to develop their piloting skills, gradually moving up to the larger models as they become more experienced.
However, choosing to start out with a small boat does not mean lowering your requirements (power, comfort, etc.); far from it. BENETEAU offers several different boat ranges that include small, highly equipped models that guarantee top-level comfort and performance.
With its sporty hull and sleek lines, the Gran Turismo 41 combines both speed and elegance
To sum up, the aim is to identify which model of boat you are best able to handle while still making your sailing dreams a reality. Choosing the right boat means you are more likely to sail regularly. This way, you will quickly gain experience and, above all, be able to cruise safely and comfortably. As your confidence builds, every trip you take will be a memorable experience, creating precious, lifelong memories of days out with family and friends.
SHOULD I BUY A NEW OR SECOND-HAND BOAT?
Once you have decided what you want to do with your motorboat and you have a clearer idea of which model you prefer, there is one last question to ask: is it better to buy a new boat or go for second-hand?
Why buy a new boat?
Buying a new boat is, quite simply, the best possible option in terms of sailing quality and onboard comfort as:
You can choose between all the models currently on the market
You can access all the very latest equipment and technologies
You can set sail with perfect peace of mind, knowing that you have a boat that is reliable and seaworthy
You benefit from a more extensive warranty cover coupled with an after-sales service that you can call at any time
There is no work to be done on the boat.
Buying a new boat is the surefire way of guaranteeing unforgettable sailing on a boat that is tailored to your dreams.
However, even if you cannot buy a new boat straight away, this should not stop you wanting to become a boat owner. In this case, it could be a good idea to think about buying a second-hand boat .
Why buy a second-hand boat: as a basis for a future purchase of a new boat
It is a good idea to purchase a second-hand boat if your aim is to eventually buy a new, larger boat in a more high-end design. Choosing to start out with a competitively priced second-hand boat is the perfect way to familiarise yourself with how to handle a boat and to get the necessary practice before making your next investment. Not only that, having a second-hand boat that matches your sailing project will also guarantee you memorable days out with family and friends.
The Antares 11 Fly is the ideal family cruiser
As you can see, there are as many motorboats as there are sailing programmes. The first and most important step in buying your boat is therefore deciding exactly how you want to use it. Another vital point is to choose a boat model that is appropriate to your level of sailing experience, to ensure you get maximum enjoyment and to create lasting memories.
Would you like help in choosing your future motorboat? BENETEAU boat dealers will be happy to help you choose the boat best suited to your needs and desires, and to welcome you to our family of sailing enthusiasts.

- A-Z of motor boats: your ultimate guide
Motor boats don't often take centre stage in our magazine, but we're about to change that. This in-depth feature explores the different kinds of motorboats, their manufacturers, how they differ from sailboats, and weighs their pros and cons. We'll help you figure out if a motorboat is the right fit for you, when to best venture out on one, and we'll delve into the requirements and conditions for a skipper's licence. In essence, we're bringing you the complete motorboat rundown. All hail the engine!
Differences to a sailboat
The age-old debate of powerboat versus sailboat is a classic theme in many a nautical conversation. We're not here to pick a side between those who favour sails and those who prefer motors. Instead, our aim is to present you with a balanced view, packing all the necessary facts, insights, and knowledge into one comprehensive discussion.
Draft and bridges
A motorboat's draft is significantly shallower, thanks to the absence of a keel. Furthermore, the lack of a mast means there's no need to worry about the boat's height when it comes to passing under bridges. So from a depth and overhead clearance perspective, you're in safe waters with a motorboat.
YACHTING.COM TIP: If you've never sailed under the renowned Pasman-Ugljan bridge, which has spelled disaster for numerous sailing boats, a motorboat provides the perfect chance!
Space and comfort
Broadly speaking, aside from mega yachts or specialist vessels, motorboats provide more space both below and on deck compared to similarly sized sailboats. They also typically feature multiple deck levels. So you can bask in the sunshine on one deck, and find shelter in the shade on another. Furthermore, on a motorboat, you don't have to fret about a precarious jib or the risk of tripping over winches or ropes. The deck tends to be more open and free from sailing gear, allowing for easier movement and relaxation.
If you have crew members who do not tolerate the heeling of a sailboat well, this concern is completely eliminated with motor boats. Unless you're faced with sizeable waves, the boat is likely to maintain stability and you won't need to worry about any significant tilting. This makes a motorboat a more comfortable choice for those sensitive to the motion of the sea.
You wouldn't find such a load on a motorboat
A leisure sailboat simply can't match the speed of a powerboat. While most sailboats average around 7 knots, motorboats can easily reach 15 to 20 knots. If you enjoy the thrill of speed and the feeling of wind in your hair, a powerboat is the perfect choice for you.
Consumption and costs
On the flip side, with the increased speed comes higher fuel costs. While on a sailboat, you might only need to refuel at the end of your trip or 2-3 times a week at most, resulting in a manageable fuel bill. However, if you're sailing for extended periods each day on a motorboat, you'll find yourself refuelling frequently, at a higher cost, and spending a significant amount of time waiting to fill up the diesel tank.
Level of effort and work
Starting a motorboat is straightforward; turn it on and off you go, cruising wherever you fancy. There's no need to fuss over ropes, the jib, sails, lazy bags, lazy jacks, or the whereabouts of the crank. Unlike on a sailboat where there's always something to keep you occupied, a motorboat offers pure relaxation and peace of mind. If you're seeking a laid-back cruising experience, a powerboat is the way to go.
Sailing direction
As long as there are no big waves and the Bora is not blowing against you, you can sail your motorboat comfortably pretty much anywhere you want. This isn't the case with sailboats, where you might have to cruise or alter your destination if the wind is blowing directly against you. While sailboat enthusiasts often say, "the journey is the destination," powerboat users are more about reaching their destination promptly and without fuss.
What is the difference between a motor boat and a sailboat?
Despite their differences, powerboats and sailboats do share some commonalities, with maintenance being the prime one. Regardless of the type of boat you own, upkeep is crucial. This includes taking care of the sails or engine and ensuring regular servicing. Moreover, marina fees apply uniformly to both. The harbour masters charge based on the length of the boat, irrespective of whether it's a sailboat or a powerboat. The only exception might be a catamaran, which typically incurs a higher fee due to its dual-hulled design, making it wider and potentially occupying the space of two conventional berths.
Disadvantages of motor boats
While motor boats offer numerous advantages, it's important to consider their potential drawbacks as well. Let's take off the rose-tinted glasses and delve into some of the downsides associated with powerboats.
Fuel dependency and non-environmental operation
Unlike a sailboat that can harness the wind as a natural and free power source, a motorboat is completely reliant on diesel fuel. Running out of fuel in the middle of your journey can leave you stranded. Furthermore, this dependence on fossil fuels also means that operating a motorboat has a greater environmental impact compared to sailing.
YACHTING.COM TIP: Speaking of ecology, check out our guide — Green sailing: 11 tips for eco-friendly yachting .
Less stability in wind
Motorboats lack a significant keel, resulting in reduced stability when faced with waves and strong winds. Consequently, it is advisable to opt for motorboat rentals during the summer season, when occurrences of powerful winds and waves are comparatively infrequent.
Calm and the smell of the sea
The sound of the engine never leaves you during your voyage which can get on people's nerves. Likewise, the typical smell of burning diesel can start to bother you after a while.
Who is a motor boat best suited for?
A motor boat is well-suited for individuals seeking relaxation, tranquillity, and minimal effort. With the simple act of starting the engine, you can swiftly set sail without any additional concerns. Plus, a motor boat is highly recommended for those who desire to explore a wide range of places, including beaches and other scenic locations. It is particularly advantageous for covering long distances between islands and the mainland within the typical timeframe of a one or two-week vacation. Motor yachts are also a favourable choice for yachters who enjoy fishing, as they provide a comfortable and convenient means of transportation for navigating to different areas and indulging in fishing activities.

Fishing is an great addition to a boating holiday.
For nature lovers seeking harmony and a closer connection to the natural environment, a sailboat is more preferable than a motorboat. Sailboats provide a serene atmosphere and allow for a deeper appreciation of nature. Additionally, if the aim is to foster teamwork and engage in shared experiences, a sailboat offers more opportunities as it involves handling ropes and sails. But if you want to relax with a bunch of friends, there's nothing better than a powerboat.
Motor boat season
Unlike sailing boats that typically operate in Europe from April to November, motor boats have a more limited season. The majority of motor cruising occurs between June and September, with peak activity in June and July. Other times of the year, motor yachts are less commonly seen at sea. This is because before and after this season, conditions tend to be windier and the sea becomes cooler, which is more appealing to racers on sailing yachts rather than those seeking a tranquillity on a motorboat, particularly in destinations like Croatia.
YACHTING.COM TIP: What winds and weather will you encounter in the Mediterranean over summer? Check out our guide — The 7 most common winds you'll find in the Mediterranean .
Motor boat licence
The licence needed to operate a motor boat depends on two criteria — the engine power and the area where you will be boating (whether sea or inland waters). If you want to cruise on a motor boat with an engine power of less than 4kW , then you don't need a licence. This applies to houseboats or small boats, for example. You can sail a boat with a 4kW to 20kW engine on inland waters with a VMP licence, but for the sea you'll need an international skipper's licence just as for a sailing boat and in some countries (such as Croatia), a radio licence. With engine power above 20kW , for inland sailing and on the sea, you will need a certificate of engine experience for inland sailing in addition to the VMP.
YACHTING.COM TIP: Still hesitating about getting your skipper's licence? Take a look at our 5 reasons to take a skipper's course . Then check out our sailing courses and you'll soon be sailing the seas!
How to choose a motor boat?
Motor boats have a slightly different interior layout than sailboats. The smaller ones often have only one or two cabins and it is automatically assumed that the other couple sleeps in the saloon, often in the bow. Check before you make your final booking that you will have plenty of privacy. Small motor boats are designed for a couple or small family rather than several people who don't know each other.
Route planning
When choosing a boat, take note of how much the boat consumes. You may find that the fuel will cost you the same amount of money as the charter itself in a week's sailing. Plan your itinerary in advance so you know what to expect.
YACHTING.COM TIP: Want to enjoy your cruise to the fullest and without a care in the world? Try hiring a professional skipper or hostess for your yacht. They'll take care of running the boat, cleaning and cooking, leaving you to relax and spend time with your loved ones. Just ask our sales team.
Highly renowned motor boat brands in the charter industry
Here we have picked out the most popular types of motor boats from our search portal.
Probably the most infamous brand of motorboats is Merry Fisher. The Merry Fisher 795 models are among the best sellers and the Merry Fisher 895 is a common sight cruising the coastline of Croatia. Another sought-after model is the Antares 9 OB , which is generously equipped for a comfortable boating holiday, but if you're after something bigger, the Antares 11 Fly is a great choice. The Greenline 33 or its larger sibling, the Greenline 39 , are also fantastic options.

Other types of motor boats
Every motor boat is unique, and there can be a wide range of vessels categorized under the name "motor boat." Let's explore some intriguing and lesser-known motor boats that have distinctive features and stand out from the norm.
Small motorboat
Charter services also offer the option to rent small motor boats, which are perfect for day trips to secluded beaches, nearby islands, or bays that are inaccessible by foot. These boats are typically compact and may not have cabins, making them suitable for short excursions. They are particularly recommended for families who have rented an apartment by the sea and wish to explore the surrounding areas by water. In many cases, these small motor boats are equipped with relatively low-powered engines, and in several countries, you may not even require a skipper's license to operate them. We recommend, for example, the Zodiac Madline 2 or the slightly larger Four Winns H210 .
You can also rent a smaller boat.
Few people can buy a superyacht. And although many more people can rent one, it is still quite expensive. A superyacht or megayacht is considered to be a boat longer than 80 feet but you'll have to hire a professional skipper as only a handful of skippers have a licence for a boat of this length. For example, we offer the superyacht Azimut Grande 27 or MY Custom Line 52 m . These can cost up to 100,000 euros to hire for a week, but the price often includes a crew to look after the boat (including the professional skipper).
Superyacht Azimut Grande 27
The main difference from the motor boats we rent at sea is that houseboats sail on freshwater streams and are designed for exploring rivers, canals, lakes, ponds, and dams. Although houseboats generally have less powerful engines, this feature often allows them to be rented without a license in most destinations. It's important to note that these houseboats are far from mundane, offering a unique and enjoyable holiday experience on calm waters. Check out these breathtaking destinations you can explore on a houseboat.

This is what one of the most popular houseboats, the Nicols Estivale Sixto Prestige, looks like.
Power catamaran
Recently, motor catamarans or power catamarans have become more and more popular. They combine the advantages of a catamaran (two hulls, stability, space, nets to lie on,...) while offering the speed, carefree and comfort of a motor boat. Never driven a catamaran? Check out our article — First time on a catamaran: what you need to know

YACHTING.COM TIP: Wondering what are all the types of boat you can charter? You will be surprised how many there are. Check out the article — Boats for rent: what types of boats do charter companies offer?
How to operate a motor boat?
If you have sailing experience, driving a powerboat will seem like something very simple. You don't have to worry about ropes, sails, vignettes, masts or a flying jib. You simply start the boat and cruise wherever you want. Then it's the same as mooring with a sailboat.
One important aspect to be aware of when operating a motor boat is the engine trim . Engine trim refers to the adjustment of the angle between the propeller and the bottom of the boat. Ideally, the propeller should be positioned vertically downward. As a motor boat gains speed, the bow of the boat may lift, causing the propeller to partially submerge. In such cases, it is the responsibility of the captain to intervene and adjust the engine trim to ensure that the propeller is aligned vertically and not at any angle other than 90 degrees to the water surface. This adjustment is crucial to prevent the boat from jumping or unnecessarily impacting the water with the bow. By maintaining the correct trim, the boat can navigate efficiently and provide a comfortable sailing experience for all on board.

Where to sail with a motor boat?
We've selected 3 regions where you can enjoy a fantastic time with a motorboat and take advantage of its superior speed.
Vineyards and islands off Hvar
Start your journey from Split and make your way to the enchanting island of Solta or the sun-soaked Brac. For a glimpse of Croatia's renowned beaches, don't miss out on visiting Zlatni Rat. Proceed to the captivating island of Hvar, where we suggest exploring either the lively town of Hvar itself, the more serene town of Stari Grad, or the authentically charming Vrboska. Indulge in an overnight stay at a tranquil cove on the island of Ščedro, where you can delight in snorkeling alongside majestic clams. Depending on your available time and preferences, continue your voyage to the island of Vis and discover the picturesque village of Komiza, where you can experience the novelty of standing on a buoy or by the pier. During the day, take a trip to the island of Bisevo, home to the famed Blue Spila (blue cave).
Ionian Sea (and turtles!)
Rent a boat on the Greek island of Corfu. Upon taking over the boat on Saturday, take a leisurely stroll to the charming capital, Kerkyra, where you'll be enchanted by its delightful streets and atmosphere. Next, set sail south towards the island of Paxos, renowned for its breathtaking bays. During the day, make sure to indulge in a refreshing swim in Lefkada, a destination in the western part that boasts stunning beaches reminiscent of the Caribbean. Consider spending the night in the lively bay of Vasiliki, known for its vibrant nightlife and one of Greece's most famous kebab joints. The following day, continue your journey to Kefalonia and then proceed onwards to Zakynthos, famously known as the "island of turtles." If possible, sail as far south as you can towards Zakynthos, maximizing your exploration of this captivating destination.
Italian temperament
Experience the enchanting Bay of Naples, beginning in Baiae and venturing to Ischia, where you can navigate its waters at your leisure. Along the way, explore the quaint islet of Procida. Consider Ponza as an alternative to the bustling island of Capri. If time permits, visit the renowned Positano. Carry on to the breathtaking town of Amalfi, with its cliffside houses. Above all, indulge in la dolce vita.
Whether it's a motorboat or a sailboat, I'll find you the perfect choice. Give me a call.
