If the boat is still showing online, then yes—it’s still available. Rather than the standard preloaded ‘is it available’ message from YachtWorld, it really helps if you can tell us a bit more about what you’re looking for, your timing, whether you need finance( the boat is not tax paid anywhere) and any specific questions you have. That way we can give you something useful straight away
