Some yachts are not for sale in US waters because of a 1908 US law that prevents the sales of foreign-flagged boats to US citizens when the vessel is in US waters. Working with an experienced US yacht broker will ensure you expertly navigate and do not fall foul of US law when you purchase a boat. N&J's offices are conveniently located near the Safe Harbor Newport Shipyard, a full-service marina, and shipyard, which has a free trade zone for yacht sales. It is the only FTZ in the US outside of Florida. The FTZ allows foreign-flagged ships to be bought and sold to US citizens. If you want to sell or buy a boat, contact N&J.
The lifespan of a yacht depends on several factors, including the type of vessel, the shipbuilder, its use, and the maintenance schedule. The world's finest boats that are well maintained can give decades of worry-free service.
You can charter a boat in Rhode Island from approximately US$50,000 per week, plus additional fees, including provisioning, crew tips, fuel, and mooring costs.
