Why Buy an Offshore Yacht?

Why Buy an Offshore Yacht?

“Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things that you didn’t do than by the ones you did do. So, throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor…Explore. Dream. Discover. ”

• Sarah Frances Brown

If you’ve always dreamed of exploring the world and discovering the joys of life on the water, the right motor yacht is one of the best ways to make your dreams come true.

And whether you dream of spending your retirement years exploring the world at large, taking an extended sabbatical to cruise Alaska’s Inside Passage or the Caribbean, or just getting away for the occasional weekend or short vacation, you can’t go wrong by choosing an Offshore Yacht to fulfill your dreams.

We can think of lots of reasons to choose an Offshore. But then, we’re biased. We’ve been the exclusive North American distributors of Offshores for over twenty years, and we’ve managed the contracting, construction, and commissioning of well over 100 of them since 1996.

Here are some of the best reasons to own an Offshore Yacht, backed up by testimonials gathered from decades of happy Offshore owners.

Built for comfort, stability, and seaworthiness

Over the last 50 years, Offshore Yachts have been designed and built to exacting standards of comfort, stability, and seaworthiness, with a focus on impeccable detail at every stage of the construction process.

Whether you’re looking at a 54 Pilothouse, a Voyager 90, or any size between, all Offshore Yachts feature a relatively wide, finely veed and deep forefooted semi-displacement hull and a flared bow with precisely radiused spray chines. That means your William Crealock designed Offshore hull slices through the waves like a destroyer and produces an exceptionally dry ride with no pounding or slapping. A low profile, low center of gravity, and fixed weights at the center of buoyancy create a smooth, sea-kindly ride in virtually any sea condition and a stable, easy rest at anchor.

Covered, walk around decks with high bulwarks and handrails provide safety and security for line handling in any weather. Internal lines drain the water from the boat deck to the waterline and eliminate runoff from the lower decks, making them safer in rough seas. And every internal area of the boat has two exits to enhance safety.

When you choose an Offshore Yacht, you’re choosing one of the safest, most seaworthy of vessels that promise “the softest ride on the water.”

Semi-customized for the way you want to cruise

Each Offshore model features a standard layout as well as a long list of quality standard equipment and an allowance for interior design.

But if you’d prefer different engines, generators, inverters, stabilizers, stern- and bow thrusters, or any other mechanical enhancements, we’ll work with you to build them into your Offshore. The same goes for navigation equipment and electronics: if you’d like to build in redundancy of chart plotters, depth sounders, radar receivers, helm stations, display screens, AIS systems, or any other aid, we’ll make it happen.

On deck, we’ll help you design the space you need to stow and launch your tender, dinghy, jet skis, kayaks, or other water toys and sports equipment. We can help make your Offshore a fishing “machine,” by working in equipment storage, cleaning stations, bait wells, fighting chairs, or anything else you might need.

And if your needs include a different stateroom configuration to accommodate family, guests, or crew, we can help you design the perfect solution. If you entertain frequently and need enhanced professional galley and bar equipment like a second oven or range, a wine cellar, additional on-deck cooking or serving stations, or a crew lounge and galley, just name it.

We’re committed to delivering you the Offshore Yacht that perfectly expresses the way you want to cruise. Check out how some of our happy Offshore customers are exploring the world.

Endless possibilities for exploration

Where have you dreamed of going on your yacht? Do you want to cruise the Caribbean, transit the Panama Canal, cruise the Inside Passage to Alaska? Or do you dream of circumnavigating the British Isles, gunkholing in the Mediterranean, or venturing out to the countless islands in the Pacific? Or is poking around the Bahamas or California Channel Islands more your style?

Your properly equipped Offshore offers an incredible range of possibilities, given its heavy, solid construction, emphasis on safety and seaworthiness, and ruthless attention to detail at every level in the design and construction process.

Quality, integrity, service

We treat our customers with honesty, integrity, and professionalism from their very first contact with us. Throughout the contracting, design, building, delivery, and commissioning of your new Offshore to the preparation, listing, and sale of your yacht when it’s time to upgrade, we value and treat our customers like family.

When your Offshore is delivered, one of our commissioning captains will familiarize you with every single system onboard, working with you until you’re comfortable and confident to cast off the lines and follow your dreams.

And should any problem or issue arise, the crew at Offshore West, Inc., and Offshore Yachts stand ready to help resolve them cheerfully, willingly, and quickly to get you on your way.

Exceptional resale value

Our customers love their Offshores. Carefully designed to unique customer specifications, Offshore Yachts are exceedingly safe and reliable, built to withstand the harshest of conditions and ride like a dream.

Based on their exceptional quality and reputation, Offshore Yachts represent tremendous liquidity. That means that as an owner, you’ll have a built-in exit strategy and, therefore, a lower overall ownership investment.

And  that’s why so many of our customers do business with us over and over again throughout their yachting lifetimes. Many of them are second- and third-time Offshore owners, satisfied that no other yacht comes close in terms of detail, quality, and value.

You’re never alone.

We’re here to help you choose and customize your own unique Offshore Yacht whenever you’re ready.

For more 20 years, we’ve supervised the commissioning, construction, and delivery of more than 80% of all Offshore Yachts sold, more than any other brokerage worldwide. That gives us unparalleled knowledge, experience, and insight into Offshore Yachts.

When you join the Offshore West family, you’re engaging with a committed partner to guide you through every step of your yacht ownership journey – from design and planning to delivery and commissioning. Every member of our crew is proud to be at your service.
