Vessels, that is, boats that do not need registration. These are the ones under ten meters, all in all easy to maintain and with lower operating costs. We have selected four for you, for all tastes, from the pure open to the cabin cruiser to the fisherman with a slightly more cruiser setting. If you are looking for a first boat at an attractive price, here are four listings worth taking a look at. We always recommend, then, to check the condition of the hulls “on display” in person.

Easy, attractively priced, ideal for getting started. Are you freshly licensed and want a boat to go swimming? There you have it. An Aquabat Sport Infinity 20 WA, with an 80-horsepower Mercury. Aft cockpit and sunbathing area in the bow, a small forward locker to use for stowage, and a cruising speed around 18-19 knots. Ideal for day trips considering there is also an aft shower and a stove with sink under the helm seat on board.
We go up in size and add two beds. We are looking at a small cabin cruiser for couples’ weekends in the middle of the sea. The goodies of this Karnic SL 702 MKII are several: first, the model is almost new and the engine, a 250-horsepower Yamaha outboard, has only 30 hours on it. It is also equipped with an electronic throttle. In short, a very little used hull despite being June 2022 and about two years old. Below deck we also find a separate bathroom with an electric toilet. Finally, the hull is equipped with a kitchenette, sink, and shower.
You don’t need a 52-meter Royal-Huisman (
you read that correctly, we are talking about the largest fisherman in the world
) to enjoy a nice outing chasing your prey. In the classifieds section there is a far more affordable model, a 2005 3B Craft T27 Open that outboard reaches 9 meters and has a top speed of about 32 knots, powered by two WM diesels in the shaft line of 270 HP each.
To fish you will have electrically operated depth beacon, livewell with recirculation, GB INOX diverters, GB INOX rod holder, high-pressure seawater pump with hose and gun, cockpit shower, 12V electrical outlet in the cockpit, cockpit lighting, 220 V external power input, battery charger. In terms of electronics radar , Gps raymarine and autopilot (as well as indoor and outdoor stereo system). The stern with “fishing” cockpit pairs with a bow that is more designed for relaxation and can become a super sundeck. The volumes below allow the dinette sofa to be converted into 2 sleeping places with cushions.
The flagship of the review is an Azimut AZ 28 with two cabins. Part open, part cabin cruiser and with the charm of the now “classic.” And then it’s an Azimut. In particular, the double cabin makes it suitable, for example, to be a small family cruiser as well. The ad does not contain much information, but if you are looking for a hull that is not brand new, but more “bargain” this may turn out to be a nice surprise. Recommended, however, to contact the seller to ascertain the condition and then see it in person.
