Yachts for Sale, EUR 10m to 20m

Thirty-five to forty-five metres, where one-off builds start to appear beside series hulls. Five or six cabins, eight to twelve crew, a beach club at the waterline and a garage that takes a limousine tender. At this level the yard, the naval architect and the interior designer all carry weight in what she is worth later, so they are worth asking about early.

It depends far more on how the yacht is used than on what she cost. Crew salaries, berthing, insurance, fuel, annual service and a reserve for the next refit are the standing items, and a yacht that cruises for four months a year costs more to run than one that moves twice. The figure the industry works to is around a tenth of the purchase price a year, which is a starting point for a conversation rather than a quotation.

Yes, and you should. Viewings are arranged where the yacht is lying, which for much of the fleet means the Mediterranean in summer and the Caribbean or Florida in winter, and they have to be fitted around her own movements and any charters she is running. Tell the Boatcrowd team which yachts you want to see and we will put the itinerary together.

You tell us which yacht interests you through the enquiry form on her listing. We confirm she is still available at the price shown, collect the documents the seller holds, and arrange a viewing wherever she is lying. From there the usual sequence is an offer subject to survey and sea trial, a deposit held in a client account, the survey and trial themselves, and then closing and registration. The Boatcrowd team coordinates each step and stays with you through it.
