The top 4 considerations to take into account when choosing a boat
1. How many of you are there?
How big is your party size and what sleeping arrangements are required? Most boats will accommodate more passengers with a convertible settee in the saloon area – if you’d rather all be in cabins, then look at the number of cabins the boat has. Most cabins can sleep 2 passengers and many of them can convert between double and twin bed configurations.
Top tip from Chrisna Nesbitt, Sales Agent (South Africa):
Some people choose a boat that has one more cabin than they need for sleeping, to give them space to store bags and clothes. And it means the boats living quarters is often more roomy for those on board.
2. Who are you boating with?
You may wish to have a bit more privacy with cabins at either end of the boat and the saloon/ kitchen in the middle or prefer the cabins to be closer together. The number of bathrooms and whether they are en-suite might also be important to you. Check out the deck plans we provide for all our boats and make sure the layout works for you and your party.
Top tip from Whitney Botha, Sales Agent (UK):
Our Tango, Calypso or Salsa boats are a really popular choice for families with slightly younger children. The saloon is at the front which opens out onto a high-sided seating area right at the bow of the boat – the kids love to see where they’re going while playing inside and parents find this a nice way to keep the younger one a little more contained.
3. What’s your budget?
We’ve given each of our boats a category rating to help you here:
- Premium – our newest and very best boats.
- Comfort Plus – slightly older than our Premier boats, but still relatively new and come with top-notch features such as barbecue hotplates on the sundeck (except Minuetto 8+ in Italy) and air conditioning.
- Comfort – good quality and well equipped boats of varying ages, designs and styles.
- Value – our ‘much-loved classics’. These older boats have more traditional décor and the features and fittings are quite basic but they are good value for those on a budget.
4. What else is important to you?
Finally, you might want to consider the features on board, depending on what you consider important. For example, if you’ve never been boating for, then a boat with bow thrusters can make manoeuvring so much easier. If you’re travelling in peak summer, then choosing a boat with air cooling, or a bimini sunshade, might be important for you. You might want a boat with a microwave in the kitchen, or a table on the sundeck to enjoy al-fresco dining.
