Four LookBoat listings illustrate why the asking price of a Bavaria 46 depends on the generation, layout, documented work and VAT position. Even the closest pair in build year is separated by €44,000.
My Boat Gets Views but No Viewings. What Should I Change?

A counter tells you someone opened a listing. It cannot tell you whether they liked the layout, understood the tax position or could arrange a visit. Find the point where buyers stop before changing the price.
Plenty of views, few enquiries
Open the advert on a phone. In the first screen, can a buyer identify the exact model, year, location and asking currency? Does the opening photograph show the actual boat? Next, look for the detail that matters to this model: for an owner’s version it may be the layout, for a deck saloon the view from the seating position. Replace one weak element and record the date.
Enquiries arrive, but nobody visits
Read the last few questions together. If everyone asks about the same berth, engine hours or VAT wording, put the verified answer in the advert. Make viewings practical: tell the broker who holds the keys and which days the yard permits access. A buyer who cannot arrange a visit is not giving you a reliable signal about price.
Viewings happen, but offers do not
Ask the broker which detail surprised visitors on board. A smell, inaccessible machinery or a repair missing from the photographs deserves a different response from a better-priced comparable. Keep a short log of the objection, the action taken and the next response. In the owner dashboard, compare enquiries and completed viewings across the same dates.

Which would you price higher? A broker needs a few details before the comparison means anything.
