I was the skipper of an Elegance 76 exactly like this, it was a fantastic charter yacht costing well over 3 million euros when new. We used to joke it would pass anything on the water, except a fuel station. The bow and stern thrusters made leaving the dock sideways very impressive. Wonderful yacht.

[@christopherwilkening5817]

I wouldn't touch it with somebody else's 10 foot pole. Drettmann yachts were never known to be very high quality units. I believe they went bankrupt about 14 years ago due to the high costs associated with all the used boats they took back as trade-ins on bigger boats. If anyone wants to buy it, make sure you get a reputable, independent, professional surveyor to check it out. That boat is going to cost you way more than 315K.

🤔 300 k for the boat. Maybe 200 k for the refitting or renewal of some things.. Drive it to a land and harbor where the cost is low.... work in home office... so a seaside apartment for maybe less cost than an actual apartment in a 5 -10 year period due to taxation, and you can take it with you...
