2015 Monterey 268 SS

The Monterey 268 SS is a 24-foot sport yacht from 2015 kept on the Costa del Sol, and it sits in that sweet spot between a trailerable day boat and a small overnight cruiser. A single 350 HP Mercury MAG 2.2 BR-3 drives it to 35 knots, while 25 knots is the easy cruising number for afternoon runs along the coast. With only 216 engine hours logged since new, this is a lightly used boat rather than a tired one, and that matters more than any brochure claim when you start comparing used yachts.
 

This boat fits a couple or a small family who want a fast, simple platform for swimming stops, beach lunches and the occasional night aboard. The single sterndrive keeps handling predictable for a first-time owner, and the shallow draught opens up anchorages that deeper yachts skip. Buyers chasing long-range passage-making or serious guest entertaining should look elsewhere, because a 24-foot sport yacht is a day-first boat by design. Anyone who wants a low-hour used yacht with a Mediterranean berth already sorted is the right profile here.
 

Is the Monterey 268 SS for Sale?

Yes, this 2015 Monterey 268 SS is currently offered for sale through its listing broker. The boat is lying in Puerto Banus on the Costa del Sol, so an inspection is easy to schedule. Because low-hour boats in this bracket tend to move quickly, availability of a comparable example in similar condition may be limited.
 

For buyers, availability is less important than the condition of the specific boat. Engine hours, the last service invoice, the sterndrive bellows date, hull condition, and the mooring and port card details should all be reviewed. A lightly used example with only 216 engine hours logged since new can have a very different ownership profile from another 268 SS that has seen heavier use.
 

Monterey 268 SS Price

The asking price for this Monterey 268 SS is 85,000 EUR including VAT, with the mooring and port card negotiable as part of the deal. The boat is offered inside a package that can include a Puerto Banus mooring at 50,000 EUR and a port card valid to May 2025. Request the split pricing if the package structure suits you. Asking prices are subject to change and should not be treated as confirmed transaction values.
 

The purchase price is only part of the budget for a 24-foot sport yacht. Running costs deserve an honest look before you fall for the price tag. A 350 HP petrol engine burns roughly 45 litres an hour at cruise, so a full day of fast running can swallow 200 litres or more, and fuel is the single biggest variable in your annual budget. Add insurance, annual servicing of the sterndrive and impeller, antifouling and a lift-out, and most owners in this size band set aside several thousand euros a year. The Puerto Banus mooring at 50,000 EUR is a separate, substantial line item, and it is worth deciding early whether you actually need a berth in that marina or would rather keep the boat on a trailer.
 

Performance and Propulsion

This Monterey 268 SS is powered by a single Mercury MAG 2.2 BR-3 petrol engine rated at 350 HP, showing just 216 hours on the meter. The Mercury MAG 2.2 BR-3 is a well-known sterndrive package with readily available parts, and the single sterndrive keeps handling predictable for a first-time owner. The light hours indicate a lightly used boat rather than a tired one.
 

The compact 24-foot hull with an 8.5-foot beam delivers a 25-knot cruise and a 35-knot top end, quick enough for Marbella to Malaga without a long slog, and the shallow draught opens up anchorages that deeper yachts skip. Actual speed and fuel consumption depend on load, sea conditions, sterndrive condition, and hull maintenance, so insist on a sea trial out of Puerto Banus to confirm the boat reaches its claimed 35 knots cleanly with a full load. A 350 HP petrol engine burns roughly 45 litres an hour at cruise.
 

Exterior Design and Construction

This Monterey 268 SS features a compact 24-foot hull with an 8.5-foot beam, so berthing in a busy marina stays manageable, and the shallow draught opens up anchorages that deeper yachts skip. The boat is reported in excellent condition and lying in Puerto Banus, making inspection easy to schedule. The exterior layout is designed for swimming stops, beach lunches and afternoon runs along the coast.
 

Buyers should inspect the hull and deck, stringers, transom, sterndrive, propeller, through-hulls, fuel tank, steering system, and any signs of moisture or previous structural repairs. Have an independent surveyor check the transom and hull for moisture, and ask for the sterndrive bellows date before you talk numbers. Deck hardware, railings, and the cockpit layout should also be tested during a personal viewing in Puerto Banus.
 

Interior and Accommodation

This Monterey 268 SS offers a cabin with one berth and a separate heads compartment, which turns a day trip into an overnight. The layout fits a couple or a small family who want a fast, simple platform for swimming stops, beach lunches and the occasional night aboard. It is a day-first boat by design, so buyers chasing long-range passage-making or serious guest entertaining should look elsewhere.
 

Individual boats may have different upholstery, appliances, flooring, and interior finishes depending on subsequent refits. Buyers should inspect the cabin berth, heads compartment, plumbing, bilge systems, and storage areas for condition and evidence of regular maintenance. The separate heads compartment adds real practicality for a 24-foot boat and supports occasional overnight use.
 

What to Check Before Buying a Monterey 268 SS

Before you talk numbers, ask for the engine hour history, the last service invoice and the sterndrive bellows date, because those three documents tell you more than the listing photos ever will. The survey should cover the hull and deck, stringers, transom, sterndrive, propeller, through-hulls, fuel tank, steering system, electrical equipment, plumbing, and bilge systems. Have an independent surveyor check the transom and hull for moisture, and confirm the sterndrive and impeller service history.
 

The single Mercury MAG 2.2 BR-3 petrol engine should be inspected individually, including the 216 engine hours, service records, diagnostic reports, cooling system, sterndrive, and propeller. Buyers should also test navigation electronics, VHF radio, pumps, and other onboard systems. Insist on a sea trial out of Puerto Banus to confirm the boat reaches its claimed 35 knots cleanly with a full load. This Monterey 268 SS for sale is listed at 85,000 EUR including VAT, with the mooring and port card negotiable as part of the deal. If the package structure suits you, request the split pricing and a viewing date now, since low-hour boats in this bracket tend to move quickly.
