Don't Buy Your First Boat Until You Watch This!

Filming on a borrowed 100-foot Azimut in Miami Beach, Adam walks novices through choosing a first boat by asking three key questions: whether you live on the water with limited dock space, keep the boat at a marina for concierge-like fueling/cleaning and easy access, or trailer it yourself for more hands-on logistics (typically 32 feet and under). He suggests most first boats should be 25 feet or less and ideally have twin motors for easier handling. Adam recommends open fisherman/center console boats—especially deep-V hulls—for versatility from intracoastal to open water, notes pontoons as strong intracoastal/sandbar party options, and discusses the growing catamaran trend, including his 24-foot Aquasport with twin 150s. He cautions against sailboats as a first vessel and advises doing research, getting a professional inspection (PPI), and reviewing maintenance records. 00:00 Yacht Intro Miami 00:21 Three Key Questions 00:37 Living Waterfront Limits 01:16 Marina Concierge Perks 01:51 Trailering On A Budget 02:36 Best First Boat Types 03:07 Center Console Vs Pontoon 03:56 Catamaran Craze 04:29 Why Not Sailboats 05:10 Buying Tips Wrap Up 📸 Instagram:   / adam.bursztein.realtor   📘 Facebook:   / adam.bursztein   🎶 Tiktok:   / realtorsouthfl   🌐 Website: https://southfloridahomelist.com/ 🔔 Subscribe for more real estate insights, selling tips, and market updates! #boatbuying #boatowner #floridalife
