Used Yachts

Overview

Power yachts are motor-driven pleasure vessels designed for cruising, sport, or luxury living on the water. They range from cozy express cruisers to large luxury motor yachts with multiple cabins, full galley, and advanced navigation systems. Buyers choose based on size, range, onboard systems, and intended use—day trips, coastal cruising, or extended offshore passages.

FAQ

What should I inspect when buying a used power yacht?

Arrange a professional survey and sea trial. Check hull condition, engine hours and service records, electronics, plumbing, and signs of water intrusion or corrosion. Verify maintenance logs and previous ownership history.

How do I handle registration and documentation?

Confirm the vessel’s title, registration, and any mortgages or liens. Ensure registration complies with your home country’s rules and get proof of VAT/payment if importing from abroad.

What are my options for transporting a yacht to another country?

You can sail it, ship it on a transport vessel, or move it on a specialized trailer depending on size. Use experienced yacht transporters and factor in permits, cradle costs, and insurance for transit.

What ongoing maintenance should I expect?

Regular tasks include engine and generator servicing, hull cleaning and antifouling, electrical system checks, and winterization or layup procedures. Follow manufacturer schedules and haul out for thorough inspections periodically.

How do I plan for parts and service support?

Identify dealers and service yards for your make and model in cruising areas you’ll visit. Keep records of part numbers, stock common spares onboard, and budget for emergency repairs and berth or haul-out fees.
