You might have come across boat brokers who promise to list your boat and show you only ONE strategy to sell your boat faster. - Basco Boating News - Written by BASCO Team < Back Share How to Generate More Enquiries and Sell Your Boat Faster without any "Secret"? BASCO Team Feb 26, 2023 You might have come across boat brokers who promise to list your boat and show you only ONE strategy to sell your boat faster. You might have come across traditional boat brokers that promise to tell you the one secret to SELL your boat faster. You're led to believe that if you just sign up for the exclusive listing right now, you'll finally get the results you're after. But what happens when the exclusive listing doesn't work? Or When the promises aren't fulfilled? I hate to say it… But for anyone who wants to generate more enquiries & offers to sell a boat faster, without underpricing the boat and losing money (or anything else worth doing), there’s, unfortunately, no “one secret” to success! There is no single "secret" that will guarantee success to make your dreams come true either and upgrading to your new boat, or selling faster so you can move on with your life. However, the truth is that success in any field (even boat sales) requires hard work, dedication, and multiple strategies . So, the one PATH to faster boat selling success is following a complete strategy, all 3-stages to sell your boat , not the traditional boat broker method which is only part of the strategy to sell. What part do I hear you say? The part that traditional boat brokers use is only stage 1 and stage 2. Stage 1 is to list your boat and hope for an "OMGosh that's amazing!" fast boat sale in that first 3-4 months and then if not sold have you embark on the "Sit-In Stage" of reduce the price and wait, and rinse and repeat over 6months - 2years and longer.Instead, having the guidance and support in place to make sure you’re staying on track, through all 3-Stages to a faster boat sale, including pricing for a sale. We call this the Boat Price Strategy framework, and it comes with our years of experience helping folks just like you triple their boat enquiries and sell their boats 33% faster, and at half the commission in no time… If you’re tired of trying to piece together the few boat sale “secrets” you’ve learned from so many different boat owners or broker “experts” out there, and are ready to just follow a complete step-by-step boat selling process that our awesome clients are using to align boat ownership goals with effective boat selling decisions without signing up for the wrong type of boat listing with a pushy boat broker, then click the link below to book your free strategy session. Click Here to Book Your Call On that call, we’ll take a look at where you’re currently at the boat selling process and help you find a buyer for your boat and where you’d like to be in the next 3-6 months. If we think we can help get you there faster we’ll show you what that might look like. If we don’t think we’re the best fit you’ll still walk away with 100% clarity and we’ll try to point you in the direction of something we think might be a better fit for your boat sale journey… Before you sign up in yet another “exclusive listing”, make sure you have this solid strategy in place! I don’t want you to end up wasting years trying to get out of the "Sit-In Stage" of the traditional boat brokers, while all the time trying to avoid the frustration of “putting the boat sales pieces together” yourself like I did when I first started out...

If you’ve been waiting for an inboard power cat that does it all, the YOT 53 might just be your next yacht. - Basco Boating News - Written by Aziza | BASCO Team < Back Share How Catana Built the YOT 53 for Modern Boaters Aziza | BASCO Team Jun 4, 2025 If you’ve been waiting for an inboard power cat that does it all, the YOT 53 might just be your next yacht. Catana Group’s power catamaran brand, YOT, has unveiled its latest model, the YOT 53, marking the company’s entry into the inboard-powered catamaran market. Launched two years ago, YOT Power Catamarans is the third brand under the French boatbuilder, following the success of the YOT 36 and YOT 41 outboard models. Increased Space and Efficiency The YOT 53 features a twin-hull design that delivers approximately 40% more surface area compared to a monohull of similar length. This expanded volume allows for increased interior and exterior living space, while maintaining a beam compatible with most Mediterranean marinas. The twin-hull configuration also contributes to onboard stability and enhanced comfort, both at anchor and underway. In terms of fuel efficiency, the YOT 53 offers lower consumption than comparable monohulls, which may appeal to long-range cruisers seeking more sustainable operations. Purpose-Built for Powerboating The YOT 53 was developed in collaboration with J&J Design and Catana Group’s in-house design team. Unlike hybrid designs adapted from sailing catamarans, this model was conceived from the outset for powerboating, focusing on performance, efficiency, and comfort. A notable feature is the up-and-over aft door, an element inspired by the Bali range of sailing catamarans. This feature creates a seamless transition between the cockpit and the outdoor deck, enhancing the usability of onboard space. Interior Configuration and Customization The galley is located at the front of the main deck, arranged in a U-shaped layout that maximizes space and functionality. The owner’s suite spans the full beam of the vessel and includes a king-size bed, a seating area, vanity, bathroom, and access to a private sea-facing terrace. Two additional cabins, a VIP and a guest cabin include en-suite bathrooms and dedicated storage. An alternative four-cabin configuration is also available, replacing the owner's suite with two forward cabins while retaining access to the front terrace. Outdoor Amenities and Flexibility The upper deck of the YOT 53 is equipped with helm seating for two, sun loungers, a bar with grill and refrigeration, and a U-shaped dining or lounge area for up to eight people. According to the builder, the hardtop roof is among the largest in its class, providing shade and visibility in all directions. The aft cockpit includes modular furniture, fold-down side platforms, and a hydraulic swim platform. This platform also serves as a loading area for water toys or diving equipment and can accommodate a tender, which is managed by a telescopic crane integrated into the roof structure. Performance and Power Systems The YOT 53 is available with twin Yanmar engines in 440hp or 550hp configurations. Cruising speeds range between 15 to 18 knots, with a top speed of around 23 knots, depending on the engine option. The shaft-drive propulsion system is designed to minimize vibration and maximize power efficiency. The model can be outfitted with lithium battery systems supporting a 48V setup, allowing air conditioning and other high-consumption equipment to operate without the need for a generator. Strategic Development According to Catana Group’s sales and marketing director, Boris Compagnon, the YOT 53 is part of a broader strategy to diversify the group’s offerings while responding to evolving market demands. The company aims to address current usage patterns and anticipate future preferences, continuing its commitment to twin-hull designs. The YOT 53 represents Catana Group’s initial foray into inboard-powered catamarans under the YOT brand. By combining increased onboard space, fuel efficiency, and modern amenities, the model is positioned as a practical solution for motorboat owners seeking long-distance cruising capabilities with the benefits of a catamaran platform.
