That's something well within the grasp of most ordinary citizens isn't it?!
The yacht I wanted is £120,000 in the UK, but i could have picked it up for a relative snip of $180,0000 dollars. I bet in fact it makes very little difference where you buy a luxury yacht from...

its an everyday thing that a lot of people do
to own a boat in the uk i`d probably be perceived as posh or minted?
its more of a rich mans pastime in the uk

Yet to go on someone's boat despite being here for 4 years. Unless you go on a tinny, it is the preserve of those with cash to spare...ie both our neighbours. They spend hours cleaning the things noisily and the smell of petrol fumes is horrible.

If you go down to places like Chichester or the isle of wight every other person seems to have a boat. I've got to be honest on boat ownership and pricing I'm no expert, but there seems to be no shortage of boat ownership in evidence when I visit any part of the UK or european coastline...

The family behind us in Brisbane had a boat, it was a nice boat but they hardly ever used it. I must admit I was thinking about getting a boat and naming it The Money Pit.

there's lots of boats in the harbour where we are ( hope ) that dont ever seem to move, its a huge waste of money to be sure,
