Here are two tips people should follow if they want to purchase a new boat at a great price.

They should look out for new boat sales during the off-season

One way a person could buy a new boat for less than its standard retail price is to shop for it during the off-season. There are certain times of the year when many types of boats don't tend to sell as often. During these periods, sellers will often run new boat sales to encourage people to make purchases. For example, many powerboats which are used for racing or for recreational boating tend to drop in price in the autumn and winter months. This is because people don't tend to shop for boats during these chilly seasons when the weather isn't conducive to boating activities. As such, this is a great time of year for a person to go on the hunt for a new boat, as there will probably be quite a few boat sales running throughout these seasons.

If a person takes this advice, they should also keep in mind that if they succeed in snapping up a new boat at a discounted price, they will then immediately need to organise a safe place to store it until the weather warms up and they can begin using it. As such, it might be sensible for people in this situation to check out local storage facilities in their area, to see how much it would cost to leave a boat in a storage unit for a few months. They can then factor in these storage costs when deciding if any discounted new boats they find will still suit their budget.

They should attend a few boat trade shows

Another step people with this goal should take is to attend a few boat trade shows. At these events, boat dealers and manufacturers will often showcase their latest boat models. Because there are usually many of these manufacturers and dealers at these events, these business owners need to compete for the attention of the potential boat buyers who are also in attendance.

One way in which they sometimes do this is by putting their newest boat models on sale for the duration of the trade show, or by offering to include some extra features for free with the boats they're selling at standard retail prices (such as an entertainment system in a boat's cabin or customised paint and text for the boat's exterior). In either situation, a buyer of a boat at this type of event could get themselves an excellent bargain.
