Priceless is a one-of-a-kind high-speed yacht.  Falcon One was originally built as a proof of concept platform to showcase a corrugated aluminum manufacturing process in conjunction with a special adhesive developed by 3M. This adhesive allowed the stringers and bulkheads to "float" on the hull's skin, dampening vibration and insulating noise. Falcon Marine built the hull & superstructure in the 1980's, but it was not finished until 1996. The honeycomb aluminum that makes up its outer skin is very light and extremely stiff.  A pair of Stewart and Stevenson converted 16V92's were installed and connected to a pair of Rossi Surface drives which allows her to cruise at 34 knots and tops-out at 40 knots which is impressive for a yacht of 83 feet with 16V92's. Only 1000 original hours!

You can learn more about Priceless design concept and history with the following link:

https://www.yachtforums.com/threads/falcon-one-back-to-the-future.5432/

Priceless needs an interior refit and some external cosmetics.  This is a rare opportunity to own a unique yacht that will turn heads everywhere she goes!  She is conveniently located in Dania Beach and easy to show.

advanced co brokerage Florida power is pleased to assist you in the purchase of this vessel. This boat is centrally listed by HMY Yacht Sales, Inc..

A hardtop canopy covering the front section of the flybridge comes with a retractable sunroof above-helm so that pilots up here can catch a few rays as they steer their vessel. The bridge boasts space at the rear for tender storage with a Steelhead Marine hydraulic davit, plus room for a pair of sun-loungers. Further forward there is a walk-in wet bar with a Kenyon barbecue grill and an icechipper, as well as a large U-shaped leather sofa to starboard that surrounds a glossy timber dining table.

There is plenty of space to work on your tan out on the foredeck, where a pair of modular sunpads boast marina-facing views, while wide side-decks lead back to a sheltered aft-cockpit lined in teak. Here you will discover a transom dining sofa with a table and side steps that lead you to a fixed, full-beam swimming platform with stainless steel guardrails.

Pneumatic sliding glass doors lead into a main-deck salon that has a more contemporary feel than the traditional exterior, and this space features light oak surfaces with wengewood accents, Majilite wall-panels, off-white leather furnishings, Venetian mirrored bulkheads and hand-crafted homewares. A sprawling U-shaped sofa to starboard sits across from a set of cabinets and a home entertainment system to port, while further forward you will find a dining table and an open galley. The kitchen features speckled granite countertops, a Jenn-Air fridge-freezer, a Fisher and Paykel dishwasher, a Gaggenau 4-zone hob, a convection oven and plenty of storage space. At the front of the main deck there is a dining booth, a skipper’s door and a port-side helm station with a Seawide Furuno NavNet package, Simrad autopilot, a Maretron display, Keypower bow and stern thruster controls, Humphree trim tabs, Hynautic power-steering, VHF radio, Seakeeper M7000 gyro-stabilizer switches and Stidd helm chairs.

There is room for up to eight overnight guests on the well-appointed lower deck, across four en suite cabins including two twins and two double staterooms, while crew quarters sit to aft. A VIP double to the bow boasts wide portholes, a skylight, an island bed and cedar-lined closets, while the full-beam owner’s room features triple mullion windows, a king-sized bed, a work desk and side sofa, two full-height closets, plush carpeting, mirrored ceiling panels and a marble lined bathroom with couple’s sinks and a waterfall shower.

A proprietary semi-planing hull with a steep entry, fine foresections, a flared bow and lengthy spray rails offers a dry and smooth ride that contributes to this yacht’ superb fuel efficiency. A pair of 1600MHP MTU 10V engines or, for those with a bigger budget, twin 1925MHP Caterpillar C32 ACERT diesels fire this yacht to top speeds of around 24 knots with cruising speeds of approximately 19 knots. Should you take things a little slower and cruise at the sedate pace of 10 knots, however, you can expect a range of over 1,060 nautical miles, more than enough for extended island hopping in the Caribbean or Aegean Seas.

MUSTANG Yacht for Sale

MUSTANG is a true performance world cruiser with a successful history of being safe, reliable and comfortable. Her hull is the well-known hull of Doug Peterson’s Ocean 80 series built at Southern Ocean Shipyard. To incorporate a large lazarette, the boat was extended three feet, then taken for fitting at the Camper & Nicholsons Shipyard. MUSTANG showcases many modern features and amenities and is in incredible condition, courtesy of her serious year-long refit and detailed upgrades over the last few years.

MUSTANG is ideal for an owner seeking a unique sailing yacht that has the capabilities to last a lifetime, as well as ease of handling as she can be sailed with just two-to-three sailors. The yacht is a combination of a global cruiser with a pilothouse/deck salon and at the same time offers exceptional sailing performance. MUSTANG has been around the world four times, a testament to her durability and sailing capabilities. She is properly built to take on the most treacherous seas of the Southern Ocean and her suite of four sails gives excellent options for sail configuration to fit the weather. Full operational control of the yacht from the enclosed pilot house provides comfort and safety while cruising in inclement weather or rough seas. The outside helm station provides one-person control of the helm, sail furlers and primary sail trim. Her shallow draft under 10’ (3m) allows easy access to cruising grounds. MUSTANG was one of the first to have opened up the division between a pilothouse and lower salon, contributing to her versatility. To this day, this popular layout allows guests to utilize every available space, from the upper and lower salons to the cockpit outside.

From 2018-2022, almost $2 million dollars was invested in MUSTANG. In 2019, her rig was out and her mast and boom were refurbished and painted. She received new teak decks and cap rails, new winches, hatches and deck hardware. A new Lewmar winch package was installed and new Goiot deck hatches and port lights. MUSTANG’s new electronics include a B&G suite of a chart plotter and deck displays and a new AV system. All standing and running rigging was replaced and in 2020 she received new North 3Di sails. A Cummins engine and new Northern Lights generator were installed in 2021 and a new Onan generator in 2018. Her interior was refurbished or renewed from the air conditioning systems to the furnishings and soft goods. MUSTANG received all new safety gear including a new engine room fire suppression system and new life rafts. On her exterior, her hull and superstructure were painted and new antifoul bottom paint and Propspeed were applied in 2022.

MUSTANG is spacious for her size, boasting a similar layout and design to much larger vessels. Honey-colored teak is seen throughout her interior, complemented by simple detailing. Her enclosed pilothouse/upper salon offers 360-degree views and is a lovely place for guests to enjoy conversations at the L-shaped settee. Elegant stairs lead to the main salon below, where guests will find a six-person teak dining table, a wonderful curved bar and plenty of cabinetry for storage. A rounded cabinet opens to glass mosaic mirrors where glassware is stored, a unique feature that makes life onboard extra special. A curved corner settee with a cocktail table acts as a great conversation or lounging area.

Forward of the lower salon is the galley which features all the necessary amenities for life onboard as well as a crew mess. Farther forward are two crew cabins; the port one can be configured to a double bed or put a pipe cot as another single if necessary and the starboard one has over/under bunks. They share a large head forward. All guest staterooms are situated aft for up to six guests. From the pilothouse, stairs lead down to a corridor to the aft full-width master stateroom, two guest staterooms and engine room access. The master stateroom is luxurious with a centerline queen bed, settees on each side, closets, cabinets and drawers for plenty of storage. The settee on the port side can convert to a 6’ sea berth. A built-in desk with a seat is on the starboard side. Various types of lighting permit reading or create a mood. The en-suite bath provides a huge enclosed shower and mirrored cabinets. Moving forward, the port guest stateroom has a full-sized bed, hanging locker, drawers and cabinets for storage as well as an en-suite bath with a stall shower and mirrored cabinets. A door from the head to the hall gives this head the flexibility to be a day head. The starboard stateroom has twin beds with a bureau between them. The ensuite head with the usual amenities also houses the washer/dryer and access through the guest shower to the engine room.

MUSTANG has an enormous on-deck cockpit for outside living with an elevated steering area aft. A refrigerated compartment in the table makes life super simple. A Bimini and side closures ensure protection during inclement weather. For those who wish to sunbathe, there are cushions on the aft deck when the tender is deployed and farther aft is an additional conversation area when additional chairs are set up. The forward deck provides ample room for guests to congregate at the dock or under sail. 

• Excellent pedigree: Peterson/Camper & Nicholsons
• Designed for racing performance and serious world-cruising including southern ocean
• Shallow draft under 10' allows good coastal cruising
• Cutter rig with four sails ready for various conditions
• Enclosed pilothouse/deck salon and lower salon
• Owner/guests aft with crew and galley separate forward
• Stand up engine room
• Outstanding condition due to serious two-year refit from new paint, rig, sails, decks, to new engine, generators and interior soft goods

Full Details

Recognized in many different ports around the world, Mustang has a fame all her own. She was originally built for an experienced American yachtsman. The hull is the well-known, performance hull of Doug Peterson’s Ocean 80 series built at Southern Ocean Shipyard. To incorporate a large lazarette, the boat was extended three feet, then taken for fitting out to world-class Camper & Nicholsons Shipyard. A trailblazer in her day, Mustang is one of a handful of boats in this size and price range that has a true pilothouse---completely enclosed, functioning for piloting and lounging --that also is open to a spacious lower salon. Three staterooms aft for owner and guests, all with ensuite heads, plus two cabins and head forward for crew, complete the beautifully finished interior layout.

On deck a secure, spacious cockpit and steering cockpit directly aft are the heart of deck life. Social areas on the aft deck and foredeck can be organized easily.  

Though Mustang can accommodate up to three crew, this mini-superyacht can be sailed with two or three sailors. From the pilothouse full operational control of the yacht is available. From the outside helm one person can control the helm, furlers, and primary sail trim. The 2007 in-mast furling rig was taken out in the 2018/2019 refit and completely refurbished and painted; as well all the standing and running rig was replaced. Four new sails were added in Dec. 2020.  During this extensive refit the entire yacht was painted and new decks installed with a new winch package, deck hardware and hatches. New electronics and galley equipment have been added. In 2021 the engine and large generator were replaced to complement the small generator replaced in 2018. Exterior varnish has been stripped and built back up while Inside renovations and replacement of soft goods invite living at its best. A walk-in engine room with two entries and a crane for launching the tender are an added benefit. In August 2022 Mustang completed her annual haul-out/yard period. The bottom was painted, rudder dropped and serviced, zincs replaced, thru-hulls and underbody gear checked, so she is ready for immediate cruising.

Mustang offers the enviable richness of a lovely classic interior in a modern, performance, pilothouse, superyacht.

Deck Living :

Mustang has an enormous cockpit for outside living with an elevated steering area directly aft. The center cockpit table has leaves that can be folded down or up for full dining. A refrigerated compartment in the table makes life easy. Fully cushioned settees surround the cockpit. Bimini and side closures protect during inclement weather. Deck areas fore and aft can be configured for additional social areas.

Pilothouse/Deck and Lower Salons :

From the cockpit, a door leads to the raised pilothouse/deck salon. To starboard is the navigation area with a desk and instrument console; instruments can be hidden when the area is being used as a deck salon. To port is a settee and low coffee/cocktail table. The settee provides a second access to the engine room below. The deck salon opens fully to the lower salon, fostering a remarkable sense of space and light. To port is a large dining table surrounded by settee and chairs inboard. Forward is a console of cabinets and a wall-mounted TV. To starboard is a cocktail table with curved settee and a lovely bar which can be formally tended if desired. It has storage for bottles and glasses.

Galley and Crew Quarters :

Forward of the lower salon, a door leads to the galley. To port are all amenities (See Galley List) including double stainless-steel sinks, refrigerator, freezer, dishwasher, microwave, stove top and oven, plus good counter space and storage; to starboard is the crew mess. Extra storage is here, including a freezer under one of the settees. Forward are two cabins: the port one has a single berth while the starboard one has over/under bunks; they share a large head forward.

Master and Guest Staterooms :

From the pilothouse, stairs lead aft to the master stateroom, two guest staterooms and engine room access. The master stateroom is luxurious with a centerline queen bed, night stands and settees on each side, closets, cabinets and drawers for plenty of storage. The settee on the port side can convert to a 6 ft. sea berth. Various types of lighting permit reading or create mood. The ensuite bathroom provides a very large, enclosed shower with seating, Vacuflush fresh-water toilet, sink, counter space and mirrored cabinets.

Moving forward, the port guest stateroom has a full-sized bed, hanging locker, drawers and cabinets for storage as well as an ensuite head with shower, fresh-water toilet, sink, counters and mirrored cabinets. A door from the head to the hall gives this head the flexibility to be a day head. The starboard stateroom has twin beds with a bureau between. Storage is comparable to the port stateroom. The ensuite head with the usual amenities, also houses the washer/dryer and one of the accesses to the engine room that is beneath the raised pilothouse/upper salon.

The interior is beautifully detailed in classic teak. Shades and curtains for portholes and hatches, various lighting options and top-quality execution of interior furnishings offer a timeless, peaceful, environment for luxurious living aboard while cruising.

Mustang provides the best of both worlds: performance and modern systems with luxurious living in classic style. Designed for ocean racing performance, the hull became the foundation for a boat exquisitely detailed and finished in classic teak throughout the interior. This performance/living marriage and the “big boat” superyacht features of Mustang, including a true pilothouse/deck salon and shallow draft add up to a combination in one boat that is hard to find to this day. After extensive refit Mustang is rarin’ to go—fast, in safety, comfort and style—either coastal cruising or her 5th trip around the globe.

Average Yacht Prices | 40, 50, 60, 70, 100 feet + Helpful Examples

How much do yachts cost? Let’s look at yacht prices per size.

SELECT SIZE ⇩

Note: We will look at yachts that are a few years old. Very few people buy brand-new yachts as the price comes down a lot after only a few years.

How much is a small yacht? Let’s start at 40 feet length.

40 Foot Yacht Cost

A 40-foot yacht can be found used for around $200,000 and new models can cost as much as a million dollars. There are always lots of used yachts for sale around 40 feet in length, which makes them more attractive to first-time buyers.

Technically, a yacht begins at 23 feet. However, yachts that size will more often be referred to as boats.

A 40-foot yacht is a great option for looking for relative simplicity and plenty of comfort and capability. This size is great for day trips in the Caribbean dedicated to speed boating or simple cruising.

The size remains manageable, but the vessel can be updated with extra living spaces and amenities as desired, with a more affordable price than larger options.

The maintenance prices will remain lower as well.

Make sure you are considering the age of your yacht. Even if it is on the smaller end, it will be more expensive if it is new and custom-built to your wants.

Even if you think a 40-foot yacht is the cheapest option, these small factors make for a sliding price scale.

You might find that a smaller, new, custom yacht is more expensive than an older, simpler, larger yacht. One benefit of an older yacht is that it should have the improvements and equipment that make it comfortable to operate and will not have those additional costs.

50 Foot Yacht Cost

50-foot yachts are  normally owner-operated, so you wouldn’t need to pay for a crew. Now we are around the size of 2-bedroom yachts.

They can provide more living space giving the owner flexibility for more guests and making it a more permanent residential option. With more space comes the opportunity to install more amenities as well.

The biggest difference between the 40-foot vessel and the 50-foot is the accommodations.

Expect three-cabin layouts, which give plenty of space for rest. The opportunity to create guest rooms, owners’ suite, and entertainment spaces are better with these yachts.

Our Pick: Hatteras GT54 Convertible Sportfish

The price for the 2017 model of this used yacht starts at $2,249,000. 

This yacht is 53′ 10″ long and weighs 75,000 pounds! It has twin diesel engines, 1,300 hp each, cruising speed of 35 mph.

How much is a large yacht? Let’s  step up to 60 foot.

60 Foot Yacht Cost

Now we’re looking at 2-bedroom yacht prices. A yacht in this range approaches the upper end of the owner/operator criteria.

This means that owners need to decide whether they can handle this size yacht on their own or if they need to hire outside help from a crew.

If you’re thinking of buying a boat this size, the cost may not be an issue, but understand that adding crew members adds substantial extra expenses! Crew salaries start at around $3K /mth for junior members and $10K for captains and experienced crew members.

This size is great for longer travels beyond day trips and adds more and more space for extra amenities. Hosting guests becomes easier.

Here are some examples:

Our Pick: Hatteras M60

The average base price for this model is around $2,995,000.

70 Foot Yacht Cost

We’re now looking at 3-bedroom yachts. Once you reach this size yacht, it is almost guaranteed you will need a crew to help operate it. A crewed yacht is very different from an owner-operated yacht.

This is just shy of the superyacht category, so if you settle on this size, know you are almost there!

As previously mentioned, as the yacht size gets larger, so do the number of factors that make the purchase more layered and complex.

When yachts reach this size, the interior layout begins to change more drastically. They often have a spacious main deck perfect for dining and entertaining guests, whereas below, the yacht would likely have four or more cabins and crew quarters.

With more rooms comes more cost and more opportunity to customize the space to make it your own.

Here are some great options for this size:

Our Pick: Hatteras GT70 Convertible Sportfish

The 2017 GT70 model runs around $4,500,000, but keep in mind the extra costs of maintenance, furnishing, and a cabin crew to help it run. It’s great for a long vacation and far-away destinations.

100 Foot Yacht Costs (and up):

You are officially in the superyacht range.

These yachts come in all styles and shapes, allowing for cruising along coastlines or focusing on watercraft and speed boating.

Since this is likely the peak size boat for practical use, you can expect a lot of additional costs for hiring a crew, maintenance, docking, as well as stocking your boat full of amenities. 

You’re likely to spend the bulk of your costs furnishing this size boat as bigger yachts typically are sold without furniture. The previous owner will want to hold on to designer furniture and other expensive interior.

Check out these great  examples of 100-foot yachts .

Our Pick: 143′ 04″ Virtus 44

How Much is Yacht Insurance?

Insurance on a yacht is around 1% of the purchase price per year. It can go higher if you have lots of expensive designer furniture. This can add up over the years. It’s often cheaper to insure a sailing yacht but the price range is still within the 0.7-1.3%.

What Other Expenses Do Yacht Owners Face?

Harbor fees is another expense for yacht owners. It’s also a yearly fee that varies but as a rule of thumb, you can expect to pay around $100 per foot per year, depending on how popular the marina is. You will also have to be on a waitlist if you want a good location.

How Much Does a Luxury Yacht Cost?

A super yacht fall under the category of “luxury yachts” or “mega-yachts”.

The world’s largest private vessel belongs to the Prime Minister of the United Arab Emirates, Khalifa bin Zayed Al Nahyan’s Azzam. It is 590 feet long and costs $600 million to build!

It is outliers like these that increase the price average for yacht owners, perhaps scaring potential owners when they start their research.

As a luxury yacht price guide, however, we need to look at averages.

Currently, the average superyacht costs $275 million. This does not even account for maintenance costs, either.

Superyachts are large and luxurious, needing a professional crew to help them run. They are designed to emphasize comfort, speed, and longer expeditions – depending on the yacht builders.

They might have:

• swimming pools,
• water toys,
• diving and fishing poles,
• fully furnished rooms,
• helicopter landing pads,
• and smaller support vessels

Just to name a few amenities. They are truly the epitome of the elite.

What Size Boat is Considered a Yacht?

The normal yacht length starts at around 23 feet, and can extend hundreds of feet.  If the boat meets 23 feet, it can be considered a yacht.

A boat does not need luxury features to be considered a yacht.

It can be minimal and stripped of the “extra” stuff to fall into the yacht category, so long as it meets the size and length criteria.

11 Things to Consider Before You Purchase

When making this purchase, the yacht size you buy needs to reflect what you hope to get out of the vessel.

Some important questions to ask yourself before you buy are:

• What does your perfect day on the water look like?
• How long will your average day on the water be?
• Will it be more boating/watercraft focused or long cruise focused?
• Will you use the yacht for fishing?
• Will you be on the yacht every day of the week or just on weekends?
• How many people do you hope to fit on the yacht?
• Do you plan to stay on the yacht overnight?
• Where will you dock the yacht?
• How much boating experience do you have?
• How fast do you want the yacht to go?
• How important is it to have extra amenities like furnished rooms, water toys, electronics, etc.?

These questions will guide you to understand the size you really need and will be able to realistically maintain versus what your most ideal yacht would look like.

When Do You Need a Full-Time Crew?

At length over 50 or 60 feet, you may need a full-time captain or crew. 

A full-time crew person will be needed to keep all the varnished woodwork looking good and all the little things maintained.

Sometimes, you must be honest with yourself about what you want and what you actually need. Be self-aware about your abilities (or lack thereof) in taking care of a specific size yacht.

If you don’t know much about boats and navigation, you will need more help to use your vessel.

Hopefully, this comprehensive guide gives you a good starting point as you begin your yacht price research process.

Important Things to Consider As Well

Although there are many factors to consider when understanding a yacht’s prices, it is an exciting purchase nonetheless and should be enjoyed as much as possible.

At the end of your research, you’ll be the owner of a beautiful yacht you can use for leisure, cruising, sports craft, fishing, or all of the above.

Although this article is a good starting point, we would also recommend getting in touch with a  yacht broker who can help you find your best fit , model, year, and the price is given your personal budget. 

They are great sources of knowledge in addition to personal research.

Make sure you are as patient as possible in this process to make sure you are covering all your bases, but most importantly, enjoy the process!

Here’s How Much Yachts Cost on Average:

Yachts start around $300,000 for smaller 40-foot models and can go as high as several hundred million dollars for superyachts.

These are the main contributing factors to the price of a yacht:

• The size of the yacht
• The age of the yacht
• The brand and  type of yacht

In general, the larger the yacht is, the more important the quality of the build becomes.

Also, potential owners need to understand the cruising speed and propulsion of different yachts.

The yacht type is also broken down into two categories:

• Mediterranean Style Open style expresses yacht with maximum space for sun, little-to-no shade on the deck.
• Hard-top express Semi-enclosed or fully-enclosed space on deck for the operator
• Flybridge yachts

An express yacht is often referred to interchangeably as an  express cruiser  or  sports cruiser .

It has a single deck above the hull with a living space below.

They are much sleeker, too.

A flybridge yacht is often referred to as a sedan bridge or sport bridge, and it is typically used for fishing. It has additional space above the main deck.

Since the flybridge area has more space on the second deck, the main deck is normally made up of enclosed spaces and rooms.

It can have an open-air layout but can also have a hard-top.

• Assessing all costs involved helps gain a clearer picture of the true cost of yacht ownership

Types and Sizes of Yachts

When considering the cost of a yacht, it's important to understand the various types and sizes available in the market.

In this section, we will explore some of the main categories of yachts, including sailing yachts vs. motor yachts and the range of sizes from small to superyachts.

Sailing Yacht Vs. Motor Yacht

There are two main types of yachts: sailing yachts and motor yachts.

Sailing yachts rely on wind power and sails for propulsion, making them more eco-friendly and fuel-efficient. They come in a variety of sizes and styles, with smaller sailboats starting around 23 feet in length. Some popular designs include sloops, cutters, and ketches.

Meanwhile, motor yachts use engines for propulsion, offering more speed, power, and maneuverability. These yachts typically range from around 30 to 100 feet, although larger motor yachts can also be classified as superyachts. Motor yachts are often equipped with a luxurious interior, offering the utmost comfort and entertainment for guests.

Small Yachts to Superyachts

Small Yachts (10,000-$100,000):

Small yachts generally range from 23 to 40 feet in length. These yachts are more affordable and easier to maintain, making them attractive to first-time buyers. They can be both sailing yachts and small motor yachts. Examples of small yachts include sportfishing boats, family cruisers, and day sailers.

Midsize Yachts ($100,000-$1,000,000):

Midsize yachts typically range from 40 to 60 feet in length. The price of a midsize yacht can vary greatly, with used models going around $200,000 while new ones can go up to a million dollars. They offer more space, better amenities, and improved performance compared to small yachts. Midsize yachts can also be classified as sailing yachts or motor yachts.

Large Yachts ($1,000,000 and up):

Large yachts typically range from 60 to 100 feet in length. These luxurious vessels come with a higher price tag, often costing multiple millions of dollars. Large yachts offer plenty of space for entertaining, as well as state-of-the-art technology and amenities. They come in both sailing and motor yacht varieties.

Superyachts ($10,000,000 and up):

Superyachts are the pinnacle of luxury and sophistication, typically measuring over 100 feet in length. They feature extravagant amenities, such as helipads, swimming pools, and even movie theaters. The price of a superyacht can be astronomical, at times exceeding $10 million or more.

Cost Factors for New and Used Yachts

When determining the cost of a yacht, whether new or used, several factors come into play. These include the age and condition , size and style, brand and model, and location and availability of the yacht.

Each of these factors plays a significant role in the overall cost, so understanding them can help buyers make an informed decision.

Age and Condition

The age of a yacht naturally impacts its price. A brand-new yacht typically commands a higher price than a used one. However, the condition of a used yacht can also greatly influence its value. A well-maintained, used yacht in excellent condition may be more expensive than a newer model with issues or wear and tear.

Size and Style

The size and style of the yacht also play a crucial role in determining the cost.

Generally, larger yachts come with a higher price tag. For example, the average price of a yacht in the United States for vessels 46 to 55 feet was $467,899, while the average price for yachts in the 56 to 79 foot category was $1.18 million.

The style of the yacht, such as a sailboat, power catamaran, or luxury yacht, can have a significant effect on the price as well.

Brand and Model

The yacht's brand and model also contribute to its price. Some yacht brands are known for their luxury, craftsmanship, and performance, which can lead to a higher cost.

On the other hand, more affordable brands may offer similar amenities and functionality at a more budget-friendly price.

It's essential to research different yacht brands and models to find the one that best suits your preferences and budget.

Location and Availability

The location of the yacht, along with its availability in the market, can influence the overall cost.

In some regions, yacht prices may be higher due to factors such as demand, local taxes, or shipping costs. Additionally, if a specific model is in high demand or limited supply, its price may be elevated due to scarcity.

Initial Purchase Price

Buying New Vs. Pre-Owned

When considering the initial purchase price of a yacht, one of the first decisions a buyer faces is whether to buy a new or pre-owned yacht.

New yachts typically come with the latest technology, design, and customization options, but they also come at a higher price.

On the other hand, pre-owned yachts can be significantly more budget-friendly, but may require more maintenance and lack the latest features.

The average price of a yacht in the United States for vessels 46 to 55 feet was $467,899, while the average price for yachts in the 56 to 79-foot category was $1.18 million. These prices can vary depending on whether the yacht is new or used.

The Buying Process

The process of buying a yacht typically involves researching the market, selecting the right size and type of yacht, identifying suitable yachts, negotiating the price, and completing the purchase.

Working with a professional yacht broker can be beneficial in streamlining this process for the buyer as they can provide expert guidance in selecting the right yacht to fit the buyer's needs and budget.

Costs to Consider

In addition to the initial purchase price, there are various other costs that should be taken into account when buying a yacht. These include:

• Insurance : Buyers should consider the cost of insuring the yacht. Insurance fees, among other factors, are influenced by the size and value of the yacht.
• Marina fees : Docking the yacht at a marina will incur fees, which can range from a few thousand dollars for smaller yachts to tens of thousands for larger ones.
• Maintenance : Maintenance costs can make up around 10% of the initial purchase price. For used yachts, be prepared to spend on essential repairs and upgrades as needed.
• Fuel : The cost of fuel is influenced by the yacht's size, engine type, and cruising frequency.

Operational and Maintenance Costs

Crew Expenses

One of the significant expenses associated with owning a yacht is paying the crew salaries .

The number of crew members and their respective positions will vary depending on the size and complexity of the yacht. For example, a 180-foot superyacht may have an annual crew expense of around $1.4 million.

It is essential to account for additional crew-related costs such as insurance, training, and uniforms.

Fuel and Propulsion

Another considerable aspect of yacht ownership is fuel costs. The amount of fuel consumption will largely depend on the yacht's size, propulsion system, and usage patterns.

For instance, a larger yacht may incur around $400,000 for fuel annually.

It is also worth considering the potential expenses for any necessary upgrades or maintenance of the propulsion systems to ensure optimal performance and efficiency.

Repairs and Upkeep

Maintaining the yacht's appearance and condition requires regular maintenance and repairs . These expenses can quickly add up. Annual maintenance costs for a superyacht could reach up to $1 million.

This includes expenses for cleaning, teak oils, wax, and polish to keep the yacht looking immaculate. It is often recommended to allocate around 10% of the yacht's value to cover annual maintenance costs.

Dockage and Storage

Mooring fees, marina fees, and storage are additional factors to consider when estimating the operational costs of a yacht. Dockage costs typically depend on the yacht’s size and the chosen location.

On average, a superyacht may have an annual dockage expense of around $350,000 .

Additional Ownership Costs

Yacht insurance is a significant cost that should be factored into your decision to buy a yacht. The cost of insurance can vary based on the size, type, and value of the yacht.

For example, a 180-foot superyacht may have insurance costs upwards of $240,000 per year .

Obtaining quotes from various providers is essential. Remember that rates can fluctuate based on factors such as the yacht's condition and the owner's boating experience.

Taxes and Registration

Owning a yacht also comes with local and federal taxes and registration fees. Tax rates can vary depending on the state or country where the boat is registered.

In the United States, some states have a sales tax for yacht purchase, while others have an annual personal property tax. Make sure to research the applicable taxes and registration fees in your area to include them in the overall cost of ownership.

Depreciation

Another factor to consider when purchasing a yacht is depreciation. Over time, the value of most yachts will decrease, much like automobiles.

The rate of depreciation may differ based on the yacht's make, model, and age. To account for this potential decrease in value, make sure to have a proper maintenance plan in place and be prepared for the potential resale-value drop.

Extra Amenities and Upgrades

Finally, extra amenities and upgrades can significantly impact the cost of owning a yacht. Additional features such as upgraded electronics, specialized navigation systems, enhanced entertainment systems, or custom interior finishes can add considerably to the base cost of ownership.

Also, consider ongoing costs associated with these amenities, such as maintenance, repairs, and replacements. Budgeting for these additional expenses is critical to ensure your enjoyment of the yacht without financial strain.

Real Cost of Yacht Ownership

Owning a yacht is a luxury many people dream of, but it comes with significant costs. This section will discuss the real cost of yacht ownership , looking at the rule of thumb for annual costs and investment considerations.

Rule of Thumb for Annual Costs

When estimating the cost of owning a yacht, a general rule of thumb is that annual costs will be around 10% of the initial purchase price. This includes expenses such as maintenance, fuel, insurance, and crew salaries.

For example, a 180-foot superyacht could have an annual budget of $1 million for maintenance, $400,000 for fuel, $240,000 for insurance, and $1.4 million for the crew.

Another example is a 50-foot yacht , which may have ongoing costs between $35,000 and $85,000 per year.

• Maintenance and Repairs: The cost of maintaining a yacht can range from $1,000 to over $1 million per year, depending on the size and complexity of the vessel.
• Dockage: Yacht owners should budget around $350,000 annually for marina fees.
• Fuel: Depending on the size and type of yacht, fuel expenses can be substantial, averaging around $400,000 per year for a large vessel.
• Insurance: Insurance premiums for yachts can range from a few thousand dollars to upwards of $240,000 per year.
• Crew Salaries: Crew salaries can account for the largest portion of yacht ownership costs. A large yacht may require a crew with an annual budget of $1.4 million.

Investment Considerations

When thinking of purchasing a yacht as an investment, potential owners should consider several factors.

Yachts depreciate in value over time, making them a less attractive investment compared to traditional assets such as stocks and real estate.

Additionally, the high cost of ownership may make yacht investment less viable for some individuals.

Keep in mind that while some owners charter their yachts to offset costs, this strategy may not fully cover annual expenses. Moreover, chartering exposes the yacht to additional wear and tear, which can result in higher maintenance costs.

Life on Board

Amenities and Comfort

Life on a yacht offers a unique blend of luxury and comfort. Yachts often come equipped with a variety of amenities to make living on board as enjoyable as possible.

One common feature is the cabin , which provides comfortable sleeping quarters and private spaces for relaxation. Some yacht cabins even have their own ensuite bathrooms for added convenience.

A well-designed galley is essential on a yacht, providing the space and facilities needed to prepare meals and store provisions.

Modern yacht galleys often come equipped with high-quality appliances and ample storage space to ensure a pleasant dining experience.

On larger yachts, additional amenities may include swimming pools , outdoor lounges, and spacious deck areas for sunbathing and relaxation. Some superyachts also feature helipads , allowing for easy access to transport and travel to and from the yacht.

Entertaining and Lifestyle

A yacht is not just a floating home, but also a platform for entertaining and socializing. The deck space on a yacht offers a fantastic setting for outdoor gatherings, while a well-appointed cabin cruiser can serve as an ideal venue for more intimate events.

Entertaining on a yacht often involves a range of activities, from casual get-togethers to formal dinners with friends, family, or business associates.

A key factor in this lifestyle is the yacht's finish – the quality of the materials, furnishings, and décor that contribute to an atmosphere of luxury and sophistication.

With such an array of amenities and entertainment options, life on a yacht combines the best aspects of comfort, luxury, and a captivating lifestyle.

FPB 83, WIND HORSE

Dashew Offshore, FPB 83 Built 2005 / US$3,300,000, US Duty paid

Broker’s Comments

FPB 83-1, WIND HORSE is an iconic go anywhere long-distance explorer yacht. The first of the FPBs (functional powerboats), she was designed by Steve and Linda Dashew and built by them for their own use. The replacement for their 80 foot ketch BEOWULF, around 2 years of research and development went into the design of WIND HORSE which was to be their ‘un-sailboat’ … A motor boat with speed, range, sea kindliness, comfort, recovery from capsize and with a motion that would be easy on the crew during long passages. WIND HORSE delivered on all these points whilst Steve and Linda put around 60,000 nautical miles beneath her keel. From their experience with this extraordinary boat, the FPB fleet became flesh.

WIND HORSE was fitted out by Kelly Archer from New Zealand. Her interior is executed in high gloss Burmese teak and with high gloss teak floorboards. Today it would be difficult to find the timber and the standard of craftsmanship in all areas is outstanding.

She is easily managed by two people, yet she has comfortable accommodation for a total of six. Her layout provides for the signature ‘Great Room’ deck saloon with a large galley, comfortable seating and helm station. With her large deck saloon windows of tempered glass, there is 360-degree vision. Forward is a large owners’ stateroom and aft two comfortable guest cabins with access into the engine room aft. This is spacious, well laid out and very easy to work in.

She has chequer plate decks and good stowage for two dinghies and a small matrix deck or flybridge.

In her current ownership, she has been carefully maintained and her systems updated as is needed. She is a handsome and purposeful boat that is ready for many more oceans with her new owners.

Designer’s Comments

When Linda and I decided to design and build WIND HORSE, we were looking for a way to keep cruising on our own as we “matured”. Although we missed the challenge of sailing, WIND HORSE was so easy for us to run as a couple and so comfortable at sea that we cruised more than 60,000nm in just seven years of part-time cruising. From the beautiful atolls of the South Pacific to the spectacular scenery and wildlife of Svalbard, past 80 degrees North latitude and into the ice pack, WIND HORSE opened a new world of opportunities for us.

The bare aluminum exterior with its military/commercial look opened doors that would have been closed to a typical shiny in your face motor yacht. This disguise hid an exquisite interior, crafted by New Zealand’s finest carpenters, from golden Burmese teak. That timber was difficult to source and required over three thousand man-hours to finish in high gloss. Moreover, it gave us immense pleasure. What we loved most about WIND HORSE was the flexibility she gave us. Take for example early January 2008; with no firm plans, we were kicking around destinations when the idea of Greenland surfaced. From Southern California at first, it sounded far-fetched. Eight months of comfortable cruising later WIND HORSE had taken us non-stop to Panama from Southern California, through the Bahamas, then to Canada, up the Straights of Belle Isle and in less than three days to Greenland. After Greenland, we decided to visit the British Isles where we ended up at Berthon for winter storage.

We will always have a soft spot in our hearts for WIND HORSE. She was truly our magic carpet.
