Buying a boat from Berger Yacht Sales in Fort Lauderdale, Florida? Use this guide to evaluate any listing before you commit.
Match the boat to your waters
Pontoons and deck boats suit calm lakes. Deep-V hulls handle chop on larger lakes and coastal water. Center consoles are versatile for fishing. Ask Berger Yacht Sales which models suit the waterways near Fort Lauderdale, Florida.
Inspect the hull carefully
Look for stress cracks, blistering, or repairs on fiberglass hulls. Check the transom for soft spots by pressing firmly — a solid transom feels rigid. Osmotic blistering costs thousands to repair.
Check engine hours
Inboard and outboard engines are typically rated to 1,500–3,000 hours. Low-hour engines with service records are worth more. Ask to see oil change and winterization records for any boat at Berger Yacht Sales.
Request a sea trial
Test the boat on the water before buying. Run it at full throttle. Listen for unusual noises. Check that the throttle and steering respond smoothly. Reputable dealers like Berger Yacht Sales will accommodate this request.
Verify title and registration
Ask for the current title and confirm the hull identification number (HIN) matches. Check for any liens with your state boating agency. Berger Yacht Sales should be able to walk you through the paperwork.
Marine financing has unique terms. Here is what to know before financing a boat through Berger Yacht Sales in Fort Lauderdale, Florida.
Typical Loan Terms

Barry has been very patient over the past 2 plus years in helping me find the right boat at the right price. We’ve gone from 48’-46-45-43 foot boats far to many to list…but he was always ready to get me a viewing on short notice. He is the most optimistic broker I’ve ever met and always informed me to the pros and cons of the boats we looked at. The last boat was a older 43’ Beneteau 430 the original owners maintained and did upgrades over their past 35 yrs of ownership to their credit. Barry was there from the beginning meeting and asking questions to the owners as well as showing me the high points to the vessel. We found some issues which he helped the owners compromise with my original offer and did all the necessary paperwork for seal the deal. His ethics and professional ability are a credit to his successful business..you would be very fortunate to have him on your team. Richard Kessler
