Our journalists strive to produce objective boat reviews and commentary, with scores based on a number of factors including the suitability of a boat in relation to its intended purpose and a comparison with other boats on the market.
Opinions expressed within boatsales' editorial material are those of the writer and not necessarily boatsales.
All prices shown in editorial publications are a “price guide only” based on information provided to us by the manufacturer (or other third parties) and are current only at the time of writing. If the price does not contain the notation “Sail Away”, then it may not include additional costs like stamp duty and other government charges. Any boat images similarly may not reflect the model’s exact specifications or features. You must confirm price and specifications with the seller of any boat.
Boats used for reviews and comparisons by our journalists are generally sourced from the respective boat brands. In most cases, boatsales' journalists attend new boat launches and other events at the invitation and expense of manufacturers, importers and/or distributors.
