What is a power boat and how is it different from other boats?

A power boat (or motorboat) is any vessel primarily powered by an engine, as opposed to sailboats or human-powered boats like kayaks. Powerboats are valued for their speed, agility and ease of use. They range from small fishing boats to large luxury cruisers and superyachts.

Why choose a power boat?

Power boats offer unmatched versatility and are typically well-suited for fishing, water sports, family cruising, or offshore adventures. They're easy to handle, come in many sizes and layouts, and can be trailered, moored, or docked depending on the model. Their engine-driven design means less dependence on wind or tides, giving you more freedom on the water.

What are the most popular types of powerboats for sale?

Common types include center consoles (great for fishing and day cruises), cabin cruisers (for entertaining, family trips and overnight stays), RIBs (for utility and coastal use), tow boats (for wakeboarding, wake surfing, or skiing) and motor yachts (for luxury cruising). Each serves a different purpose depending on your lifestyle and waterway.

What is the difference between inboard and outboard engines?

Outboard engines are mounted externally on the transom, offering easy maintenance and more internal space. Inboard engines are housed inside the hull, typically providing quieter operation, and may use shaft or pod drives. Most powerboats for sale will specify engine type in their listings.

Can power boats be used in saltwater and freshwater?

Yes. Most powerboats are built for either or both, but it's important to choose one with appropriate fittings. Aluminium and fiberglass hulls are common, but saltwater use requires corrosion-resistant engines and components. Rinsing after saltwater use extends longevity.

Do I need a license to operate a powerboat?

It depends on your country or U.S. state. In most regions, a license or boating safety certificate is required for operating a powerboat over a certain horsepower. Always check local laws before purchasing or launching.

How much does a power boat cost?

Prices vary widely. You can find small used motorboats for less than $10,000, larger center consoles and cabin cruisers for $50,000 to $1 million-plus, and high-end luxury yachts for multiples of that. Rightboat’s listings allow you to filter by budget and connect directly with sellers.
