There are two honest ways to buy a phinisi. Yard-direct means commissioning a new hull built to your specification. Through a broker means buying an existing boat on the used market. Neither is wrong — they suit different buyers — and knowing the difference saves a lot of trouble.
What yard-direct gives you
A hull built to your brief, transparent stage payments, a builder’s certificate, and no previous owner’s compromises or hidden maintenance history. The trade-off is time: you wait for the boat to be built.
What a broker gives you
An existing boat you can inspect and buy now, with a known (if variable) history. The trade-off is that you inherit someone else’s decisions and maintenance, which is why an independent survey matters on the used market.
Which suits you
If you want a specific boat and can wait, build yard-direct. If you want a boat this season and are willing to survey carefully, buy used. For the used market, our sister brokerage handles
current phinisi listings and the used-boat market, and regional sales run through a regional yacht brokerage.
