In this episode of The Low Cost Sailor, I'll tell you ALL the real numbers for my boat after almost 10 years: purchase price, taxes, shipping, insurance, fuel… and the mistakes that cost me money. Because yes, you can own a boat for much less than you imagine… or go completely broke depending on the decisions you make. In this video we'll cover: ✅ How much it costs to buy a sailboat or motorboat ✅ What taxes are paid in Spain ✅ The infamous registration tax ✅ Polish flag, VAT, and Customs controls ✅ How much it costs to transport a boat ✅ Mandatory insurance and recommended coverage ✅ REAL fuel consumption of sailboats and motorboats ✅ How much I actually spend on my boat ✅ How to save thousands of euros by owning a boat And I'll also share my own experience with real figures from the day I bought my Oceanis 321 until now. ⛵ Because sailing isn't just about money… it's also about priorities, sacrifices, and a lot of imagination. 👇 Tell us in the comments: How much does it cost to buy a boat in your port or country?
