- In this video, I run though the total cost to run my boat for one season in the UK. The real costs of ownership, on the south coast. I am based in Poole harbour, so some of the costs and prices will be different for different parts of the UK. Plus I have been unlucky with this one, as the previous owners, and the guy who worked on the boat, before I owned it, did not do a very good job, sadly. So I have had to put a lot right, to get her to the standards I like.
Anyway, have a watch and hopefully this will help you roughly calculate your budget for your next boat.
Refreshingly honest review without the fluff. My friend, you have my subscription. I look forward to seeing more of your channel!
Thanks. Appreciated.
Here in the US I had a 2006 Chaparral 276 with an 8.1L big block single engine and a duo prop Volvo drive. I paid $33k for the boat with 425hrs on it. With payment, slip fee, fuel, repairs, and winterization and winter land storage fees I was around a total cost of around $8k-$9k per year all in to own and run that boat. I put around 50hrs on it every summer. Mostly just driving up to a sand bar and having a party. So you're doing pretty well if your ownership costs are around 10%. I was around 30% percent but I was also financing too. Nobody has that kind of cash around me to buy boats in cash. Almost everyone has a loan.
Top video , very interesting . Unfortunately i couldnt afford any of these expenses , will have to go for my usual daily walk
Interesting and enlightening, thanks
Thanks for the overview, it is appreciated. From Nathan, not too far away in Salisbury.
You're welcome and thanks for watching.
for the south coast,esp poole area, good value...... thanks
great review
Brilliant video, many thanks!
Thanks for watching.
We have a 31 foot sailing yacht on Windermere. to moor our boat on a jetty there was £6000 per year (2 years ago so its more expensive now). We have it on a swinging mooring which costs round about £1390! The facilities (toilets and showers are disgusting)! To put your boat on the hard during the sailing season is limited to 4 days and that costs £400. you are not guaranteed a hard standing out of season because its based on who had their boat out last year (they get the first choice and after that its first come first serve)! So Poole mariner looks pretty good!
Nice one m8 very informative as I'm looking at getting a sealine 29 on loch lomond keep up the good work bud much appreciated
Is a great size boat. Thanks.
buy it simular sraray 290 sundancer
Really useful information. Also be good to understand the4 other costs (upgrades, fuel etc.) Thank you for sharing….
I have a few more of these coming soon on berthing costs etc. Thanks for watching.
I'm not knocking it as I'm sure you are happy there but Cobbs is very expensive.
They wanted £3650 for a berth for my 24ft boat at the time I was paying £950 for a similar pontoon berth on the river Hamble with all the same facilities and in a yard owned by MDL too.
Yes I know it's a different place and a different location but I feel the prices should be similar as they are offering the same service from the same company.
I now keep my boat at the bottom of my garden for free, which saves lots and pays for two seasons fuel....
I think marina prices have rocketed up in the last few years due to many more boaters. And that leads to supply and demand ratio driving prices up.
@@ALifeMoreBoaty the Hamble mooring I had is now £1050 for the year, so it's gone up £100.
But as you say supply and demand, there are a lot less marinas in Poole.
Great film. However antifoul I got the hull on a sealine s29 most certainly cannot cost £100. Plus rollers etc. my boat is 8.3m I use x 2 sea jet antifoul tins plus spotting of underwater primer here and there. Antifoul for the stern drive. A recalculation might be on the books.
Hi Mark, fair point and it's all personal choice. I use one tin of Hemple and the guy who services my out drive anti fouls it as part of the service. These prices are just mine, to give people and very basic idea. Thanks for watching.
What was that insurance company? Vissy or Vizzy cover?

think al stick to buying a caravan tourer them prices
I'm not sure how well they float. 😉
Can I ask...why 10%?
Hi, it's a fairly well accepted value, so any one can get an idea of the cost to run a boat each year. However as your question suggests it's not an exact science.
@@ALifeMoreBoaty Thanks.

Is that a 10m mooring?
Hi Phil, I pay for a 10m mooring yes. Prices vary dramatically even just across Poole. Depending on supply, demand and location.
@@ALifeMoreBoaty That’s honestly a great price for Poole - did you say its at Cobbs Quay?
@@philself1833 hi Phil. Sort of, it's at Davis's yard right next door to CobbsQuay. www.davisboatyard.co.uk/
Seriously I'd love to understand how you get a 10m mooring for about 1/2 Cobbs Quay's published pricing - they show $76.20/m/month for a 9-11M mooring thats about double what you are showing - thanks!
@@philself1833 it's not Cobbs quay. It's the yard next door. Here's their price list. www.davisboatyard.co.uk/tariffs/

Very useful information. A little frightening how the costs can add up.
Buy a camper or caravan 😅
You might be right 😁
