How Much Are Used Yachts?

As a platform specialising in online yacht pricing advice, yacht trading, transport and maintenance, Yachttrading often receives enquiries about ‘how much are used yachts’. Buying a used yacht does offer an attractive cost-saving option for many boat owners. After all, as a luxury item, new yachts tend to be more expensive, whereas used yachts are more affordable, having survived the initial period of significant depreciation.

Why Choose a Pre-Owned Yacht?

The price of a brand new yacht drops by around 10 per cent in the first year after purchase, and then depreciates at a rate of around 6 to 8 per cent per year thereafter. Because of this, the pre-owned yacht market is ideal for many people who are on a budget but still want the yachting experience. Of course, the price of a used yacht is affected by a combination of factors such as age, maintenance and market demand. Therefore, before deciding to buy, it is important to make sure that the yacht is thoroughly inspected to ensure that it does not require major restoration and maintenance.

However, in addition to the acquisition cost, buyers should also consider the long-term operating costs. Compared to new yachts, used yachts may cost more in terms of maintenance and repairs, and the accumulated costs should not be ignored. All things considered, if you are cost conscious and interested in personalising your yacht, a used yacht is indeed a good choice.
