The largest segment in our yacht inventory, custom builds are one-off yachts from specialist shipyards. They range from $500,000 to $30,000,000+ and offer unique layouts and specifications. Always use an experienced yacht broker when buying a custom build.

The True Cost of Yacht Ownership

The purchase price is only the beginning. Annual operating costs typically run 10% of the yacht's value:

• Fuel: $10,000–$100,000+ depending on size and usage
• Insurance: 1.5–3% of hull value annually. Read our insurance guide
• Marina/mooring: $5,000–$50,000+ depending on location
• Maintenance: $10,000–$100,000+ annually
• Crew (if applicable): $50,000–$200,000+ per crew member
• Winterisation/storage: $5,000–$30,000

New vs. Used Yacht Prices

A new yacht depreciates 15–25% in the first two years and 8–12% per year thereafter. A 5-year-old yacht typically costs 60–70% of its new price. For most buyers, a 3–10 year old used yacht offers the best value — the initial depreciation has been absorbed by the first owner, and the yacht still has many years of service left. Read our depreciation guide for more.

Financing a Yacht

Marine financing is available for yachts from $100,000 to $10,000,000+. Terms up to 20 years for larger vessels, with rates typically 1–3% above prime. A 20% down payment is standard. Read our boat financing guide for details.
