This study examines YachtTrading's used power yacht listings recorded on October 13, 2026. The dataset contains 91 distinct listing-page IDs, of which 64 have publicly displayed asking prices in USD and are included in the price analysis. Within this sample, median asking prices generally increase with yacht length and decrease across older age groups, while the wide price ranges within each group may reflect differences in size, builder, specification and condition. The budget analysis also identifies listings priced at or below $500,000 and $1 million. These findings describe YachtTrading's recorded listings on the collection date, not completed sale prices or the wider used yacht market.
What Does the October 2026 Listing Snapshot Cover?
The dataset captures YachtTrading's used power yacht listings recorded on October 13, 2026. It includes a range of vessels, from small recreational motorboats to large custom-built yachts and superyachts. The analysis covers listing counts, publicly displayed asking prices, yacht lengths and recorded build years. Price comparisons use only listings denominated in USD to avoid mixing currencies without a consistent conversion method.Snapshot at a Glance

Why Only 64 Listings Are Used for Price Analysis
Of the 91 listing records, eight do not display a public asking price and are marked “Request Price.” The remaining 83 listings with public prices include 64 priced in USD, 17 in EUR and two in AUD.The length, age and budget comparisons use only the 64 USD-priced listings. Prices in EUR and AUD are excluded rather than converted, and no tax adjustment is applied because the tax status is not consistently documented. This approach keeps the price comparisons within a single currency, although the results still reflect a limited sample of YachtTrading listings rather than the wider used yacht market.
Used Power Yacht Asking Prices by Length
Yacht length provides a useful starting point for comparing used power yacht asking prices, but vessels of similar size can differ substantially in design, builder, specification and condition. This section examines 64 USD-priced listings captured on YachtTrading on October 13, 2026, grouped by recorded length. The figures describe advertised asking prices within this sample, not market-wide valuations or completed sale prices.Listing Counts and Asking Prices by Yacht Length
The table shows the total number of listing records in each length group, the number with USD asking prices, and the median and range of those prices. Total listing counts include records priced in USD, EUR or AUD, as well as listings without a publicly displayed price. Only USD-priced listings are included in the price calculations.| Yacht Length | Total Listings | USD-Priced Listings (n) | Median Asking Price | Asking Price Range |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Under 40 ft | 22 | 18 | $82,495 | $24,990–$389,930 |
| 40 to Under 50 ft | 12 | 10 | $226,033 | $50,000–$1,499,000 |
| 50 to Under 60 ft | 9 | 7 | $510,915 | $120,000–$1,951,529 |
| 60 to Under 80 ft | 14 | 8 | $1,147,000 | $578,924–$4,888,880 |
| 80 ft and Over | 34 | 21 | $11,676,981 | $482,286–$51,812,235 |
Note: No currency conversion or tax adjustment has been applied. Length groups are based on the recorded yacht lengths in feet.
Median asking prices generally rise across the length groups, from $82,495 for listings under 40 ft to $11,676,981 for listings of 80 ft or more. However, the price ranges are wide, particularly among larger yachts, indicating that length alone does not explain the differences in asking prices.
Asking Price Distribution by Yacht Length
The scatter plot below shows individual USD-priced listings across the five yacht-length groups. Each point represents one listing. The logarithmic vertical axis allows prices ranging from tens of thousands to tens of millions of dollars to be displayed clearly.Figure 1: Used Power Yacht Asking Prices by Length
The plot shows how asking prices vary across length groups and highlights the wide price differences between listings of similar lengths. The 80 ft-and-over group, for example, includes listings below $500,000 as well as listings exceeding $50 million. This spread illustrates why yacht length alone cannot explain asking price differences.
How Buyers Should Interpret the Results
The median asking price for a length group can help buyers establish an initial reference point, but it is not an estimate of what a particular yacht should cost. The listings within each group may differ in age, design, equipment, maintenance history and refit work.When comparing individual yachts, buyers should:
- Match Comparable Vessels: Compare similar models, lengths, build years and specifications where possible
- Check Condition and Maintenance: Review service records, machinery condition, equipment and documented refits
- Assess the Total Purchase Budget: Account for applicable taxes, survey costs, repairs, delivery and ongoing ownership expenses
- Verify the Individual Listing: Confirm the current asking price, availability, currency and tax status directly before making a purchase decision
Used Power Yacht Asking Prices by Build Year and Age
A yacht's build year provides another way to compare asking prices, although age alone does not determine value. This section examines the 64 USD-priced listings in the October 13, 2026 dataset, grouping them by approximate age to compare median asking prices and price ranges. Because the groups contain yachts of different lengths, builders, models and specifications, the results describe differences within this sample rather than a standard depreciation pattern for used power yachts.How Yacht Age Is Calculated
Approximate yacht age is calculated using the recorded build year:Approximate Age = 2026 − Recorded Build Year
This calendar-year method does not account for the exact build date or the date a yacht was first commissioned. It provides a consistent basis for grouping the listings rather than an exact age in years and months.
Asking Prices by Yacht Age
The table below shows the number of USD-priced listings in each age group, together with the median asking price and recorded price range.| Approximate Age | USD-Priced Listings (n) | Median Asking Price | Asking Price Range |
|---|---|---|---|
| 0–10 years | 16 | $1,897,587 | $84,990–$51,812,235 |
| 11–20 years | 9 | $636,287 | $109,000–$29,000,000 |
| 21–30 years | 20 | $414,787 | $29,500–$19,950,000 |
| 31 years and over | 19 | $142,500 | $24,990–$16,403,362 |
Note: Age groups are based on 2026 minus the recorded build year. Price statistics include USD-denominated listings only, with no currency conversion or tax adjustment. Median asking prices are rounded to the nearest dollar; minimum and maximum prices are shown as recorded.
Median asking prices are lower across the successively older groups in this sample, falling from approximately $1.90 million for listings aged 0–10 years to $142,500 for listings aged 31 years or more. However, the price ranges overlap substantially. The 0–10-year group also includes listings ranging from $84,990 to more than $51 million, showing how much asking prices can vary even among relatively recent builds.
Asking Price Distribution by Yacht Age
The box plot below compares USD asking prices across the four approximate yacht-age groups. It shows the median and spread of asking prices within each group. A logarithmic vertical axis accommodates the wide range of recorded prices.Figure 2: Distribution of Used Power Yacht Asking Prices by Approximate Age
Boxes represent the interquartile range, with the median shown inside each box. Whiskers and any outlying points follow the chart's plotting convention.
The distributions overlap across age groups, indicating that some older yachts have higher asking prices than newer vessels in this sample. Differences in length, builder, specification and condition may contribute to this variation. The chart does not measure depreciation over time.
What the Age Comparison Does—and Does Not—Show
The lower median asking prices among older listings do not establish how much a yacht loses in value each year. The dataset is a snapshot of different vessels at different ages, rather than a record tracking the same yachts over time. Differences in length, builder, model, condition, equipment and refit history also affect asking prices.For buyers, build year is best used as an initial comparison factor. Before judging whether a listing is attractively priced, review the yacht's maintenance records, machinery condition, survey findings and documented refits. An older yacht with substantial upgrades may command a higher asking price than a newer vessel with a different specification or maintenance history.
These comparisons can help buyers understand the range of asking prices represented in the sample, but assessing an individual yacht requires vessel-specific information and a professional survey where appropriate.
What Does a $500,000 or $1 Million Budget Buy in This Sample?
Budget figures help buyers understand how the asking prices in this dataset translate into potential options. In the 64 USD-priced listings, 30 were listed at or below $500,000, while 35 were listed at or below $1 million. The 35 listings at or below $1 million include the 30 at or below $500,000, leaving five listings priced above $500,000 and at or below $1 million. These figures describe the recorded sample, not the full range of yachts available on the wider market.The examples below illustrate the differences in asking price, length and build year among individual listings. They are sample listings, not a ranked selection or endorsement of particular yachts. A listed price alone does not establish a yacht's condition, overall value or likely ownership costs.
Asking prices and availability may change after the October 13, 2026 snapshot.
Examples of Listings at or Below $500,000
The sample includes smaller recreational motorboats, older cruising yachts and some more recent models priced below $500,000.| Yacht Model | Build Year | Length | Recorded Asking Price |
|---|---|---|---|
| Carver 32 Aft Cabin Motor Yacht | 1987 | 32 ft | $24,990 |
| Bayliner 2859 Ciera Express | 1999 | 28 ft | $29,500 |
| CHB 34 Tri-Cabin | 1981 | 34 ft | $34,950 |
| Bayliner 2352 Trophy | 1999 | 24 ft | $36,900 |
| CHB 45 | 1983 | 45 ft | $50,000 |
| Horizon 40 | 1992 | 39.14 ft | $76,796 |
| Bayliner 3488 Avanti | 2002 | 36 ft | $80,000 |
| Chaparral 277 SSX | 2020 | 27 ft | $84,990 |
| Cranchi Endurance 39 | 2000 | 39 ft | $100,426 |
| Absolute 40 STL | 2019 | 39.1 ft | $369,000 |
These examples show that a budget below $500,000 can cover vessels with different ages, sizes and intended uses. However, the asking price alone is not enough to compare their value. Buyers should also assess engine hours, service records, survey findings, equipment, and any work required after purchase.

The examples illustrate that a higher budget may provide access to longer yachts, but length alone does not indicate overall value or ownership suitability. A larger vessel may require more maintenance, crew support, fuel and berthing space. Buyers should compare each yacht's condition, layout, machinery and operating requirements rather than relying on size or asking price alone.
Additional Yacht Purchase and Ownership Costs
The advertised price is only one part of the acquisition budget. Depending on the yacht, its location and the transaction structure, buyers may also need to account for:- Survey and Inspection: A professional condition survey and engine or machinery checks may identify repairs that affect the purchase decision
- Taxes and Transaction Costs: VAT, sales or use taxes, registration fees, import duties and broker-related costs depend on the jurisdiction and circumstances of the sale. The tax status of listings in this dataset was not established
- Repairs and Refit: Deferred maintenance, equipment replacement and cosmetic work can add substantially to the initial outlay
- Berthing and Insurance: Marina fees, insurance premiums and any required operating or safety equipment vary by vessel and location
- Ongoing Operation: Fuel, routine servicing, haul-outs, crew, cleaning and other recurring expenses should be estimated against the intended use of the yacht

Asking prices generally rise with yacht length. Median prices increase across the five length groups, but the wide ranges show that length alone is not a reliable valuation measure.Older listings have lower median asking prices in this sample. The age groups overlap substantially, and the snapshot does not establish annual depreciation rates or the future resale value of an individual yacht.
Budget screening is useful, but listing prices are only a starting point. Buyers should verify the current asking price, vessel condition, ownership documentation, applicable taxes and expected ownership costs before making an offer.

Methodology and Limitations
The snapshot is based on YachtTrading used power yacht listing records collected on October 13, 2026. The dataset contains 91 distinct listing-page IDs. All records were marked as available in the supplied dataset, but listing status was not independently rechecked.
Price Analysis
Price statistics are calculated from the 64 listing records with publicly displayed asking prices in USD. Asking prices are analyzed as recorded, without adjustments for tax status or other listing-specific costs. The results describe advertised prices, not completed transaction values.
Grouping and Calculations
Length groups are defined using the recorded length in feet: under 40 ft; 40 to under 50 ft; 50 to under 60 ft; 60 to under 80 ft; and 80 ft and over. Lengths are not rounded before grouping. The 80-ft-and-over category covers a broad range of recorded yacht lengths, so its median should not be read as a typical asking price for an 80-ft yacht. Approximate age is calculated as 2026 minus the recorded build year, then grouped into four categories: 0–10 years, 11–20 years, 21–30 years, and 31 years or older.
Median asking prices are calculated separately for each group using the USD-priced records assigned to that group. Minimum and maximum values show the lowest and highest recorded asking prices within each group. Sample sizes are reported alongside the statistics to make differences in group coverage visible.
Data Validation and Limitations
The dataset records 91 distinct listing-page IDs, treated as separate records without independent vessel-level deduplication. The records are marked as available in the supplied dataset, but their current availability and listing details were not independently verified.
Asking prices are not confirmed sale prices. Vessel condition, equipment, tax status and other listing-specific details were not independently verified. The snapshot reflects YachtTrading's recorded listings on October 13, 2026, and should not be interpreted as a representative measure of the wider used yacht market or as evidence of yacht depreciation over time.
Disclaimer: The figures describe recorded YachtTrading asking prices and listing characteristics. They are not independent valuations, verified transaction prices or guarantees that any vessel remains available. Buyers should confirm the original listing details, tax status, ownership documentation and vessel condition before making a purchase decision.
FAQ
Q1: How many used yacht listings were included in the price analysis?
A: The analysis used 64 USD-priced listing records captured on YachtTrading on October 13, 2026. Listings priced in EUR or AUD and those marked "Request Price" were excluded.
Q2: Why are some older yachts more expensive than newer ones?
A: Asking prices can reflect the yacht's size, builder, model, condition, equipment and refit history, not just its age. Each vessel needs to be assessed individually.
Q3: Does the listed price include VAT or other taxes?
A: Not necessarily. Tax treatment varies by listing and transaction, so buyers should confirm whether VAT, sales tax or import duties apply and whether they are included in the quoted price.
Q4: Are used yacht asking prices the same as sale prices?
A: No. Asking prices are seller-listed prices, while sale prices reflect completed transactions. This dataset records asking prices only.
