Crew is one of the largest expenses on a superyacht and critical to the owner’s enjoyment of their vessel. As the largest crew agency in the world, we know crew. Our cost calculator contains customized crew lists for yachts ranging from 80ft to 600ft with salary information based on our reference verified salary data.
Our users also have the ability to completely tailor the crew list to the specific needs, schedule and requirements of their vessel. Each yacht is unique and may have specific owner requests in addition to the yacht’s safe manning requirements.
Management of the supplemental crew costs and strategic budgeting can help avoid significant overspend on categories such as food and uniform. This tool contains default values based on our industry expertise and recommended budget for an efficiently and safely run superyacht.
To learn more about each crew position in detail, including salary ranges, please visit our yacht department directory .
Drag the sliders to modify your results. These are not linear scales and we expect most yachts to operate within the 20-80% window. Above 80% and below 20% costs increase or decrease at exaggerated levels and we only see numbers in these levels in very rare circumstances.
This sunburst diagram is interactive. You can click into each block to see the expense break down and mouse over each block for more details.
Our chart of accounts displays seven major categories, 20 sub-categories plus a further 80 detail categories for a total of 107.
Our yacht operating cost calculator is now on it’s third major revision. We start with actual yacht expense data from our yacht management accountants and then generate formulas to extrapolate out the budget for a wide range of yachts. We have been providing accounting services to large yachts for the past 18 years.
Our operating cost calculator is tuned for yachts from 80 to 600 feet. We find operating variables create the largest variances for yachts smaller than 100 feet and larger than 250 feet. We have tested the numbers the most in the range from 100 to 250 feet.
Our budget calculator factors in the fuel burn for a range of engine sizes typically seen installed on yachts by length. By dragging the green “fuel dockage” slider to the right you will increase the projected fuel burn rate and therefore the budget cost for fuel. Our default position would be for a typical displacement fuel burn. Position the slider in the 60-80% range for fuel projections for planning hulls.
Our default values produce a budget number that we believe is generous to run a yacht to a high standard. Perfect is a very expensive word to use in the yachting industry where standards are already high. Moving the crew and maintenance sliders to 80% will provide an “industry best” quality of crew and give them the maintenance budget to operate to a very high standard. If you need to go over the 80% area then you may have unusually labor intensive equipment on the yacht.
Yes, our yacht operating cost calculator can output a budget suitable for this situation. Adjust the owner use to 2 (minimum value), owner slider to 0, crew slider to 10%, Administration to 10%, Fuel and Dockage to 0, Maintenance to 10% and then Capital Repairs to 0. This will remove all of the large charges associated with owner use and vessel movement but leave the essential base maintenance and insurance in place.
Lift on and float in yacht transport is a popular way to transport yachts across large ocean passage. The yachts that this service certainly applies to are ones that may not have the motoring range or structural integrity for blue ocean cruising. The cost of transporting a yacht twice per year is put into our budget once the “Fuel Dockage” slider hits 75%. If your yacht has the range we recommend self-sufficient ocean passages whenever possible. Whilst the transport companies sell their services based upon reportedly well oiled operated schedules the reality is that your yacht may stay waiting for pickup for a week or more with no compensation due. When factoring in all secondary factors of self-sufficient passages (increased fuel, maintenance, potential storm damage, crew time off, extra delivery crew) compared with transporting your yacht (insurance, potential loading / unloading damage, loss of schedule control, no work whilst underway, crew flights, crew accommodation) we believe that there is a 100% premium associated with float in transport and a 75% premium with lift on transport compared with self-powered.
Abandoned yachts crash in value. We recommend that even if you are trying to sell your yacht that you use the yacht for a minimum of two weeks per year so that systems are tested and working every six months. There is nothing worse for a yacht than not being used. If you truly are not going to use the yacht then you should sell it immediately for the first genuine offer as every dollar you put into maintenance will not be recovered at the time of the sale.
We did not build this version with sailing yachts in mind. Early in our development of this version we decided to exclude sailing yachts as a few of the major cost drivers scale very differently for sailing yachts compared with motor yachts. For example: To calculate paint costs we reviewed the surface area of over 100 large yachts and created a formula for painted surface area to length. Sailing yachts just don’t scale in a consistent way. Similarly crew numbers don’t scale in the same manner that they do for motor yachts. If there is sufficient demand we may build a sailing selector switch into a future version of this tool.
We hate to hear when yacht owners were told by their broker to factor in 10% of the purchase price to operate the yacht. This over used saying is sadly right occasionally (particularly for newer yachts in the $20-30M range)… but just because a broken watch tells the right time twice a day you shouldn’t rely upon it to tell the time. As yachts get older their capital value decreases but their maintenance costs increase. There is no way that a fixed 10% of purchase cost rule can be true… if your broker told you this rule then you need a new yacht broker… we know some good ones. 😊

The stern area is a clear standout, with a vast beach club, a sea terrace, fold-out platforms, and an expansive pool. At the opposite end, the plush foredeck lounge doubles as an open-air cinema. Not to be outdone, the sundeck is one of the largest in the category and is fitted with both a Jacuzzi and fire pit. To top it off, the garage has enough space for a 23-foot tender, a crew tender, and a full arsenal of water toys.
Heading indoors, the light and airy living quarters offer an abundance of space for entertaining. The layout and decor can be customized to the owner’s tastes, naturally. Four spacious VIP cabins sit on the lower deck, while the owner’s suite is located on the main deck. Spanning just shy of 540 square feet, the owner’s suite is equipped with a drawer-style slide-out terrace that can be easily opened and closed without help from the crew.
“The sliding balcony has a couple of modes—when closed, it leaves a little space outside where you can hang out by opening the window door,” studio cofounder Carlo Nuvolari said in a statement. “It’s perfect to take the air or to enjoy the view of the sea and surroundings day or night. When you slide the balcony out, the rail moves into place automatically which means you can operate it and enjoy it in total privacy.”
“It’s one of an owner’s main expectations to have the yacht in a reasonable time and through an exciting process that involves them but does not cause them stress,” adds Nuvolari.
Less stress? We can get on board with that.

How Much Does it (Really) Cost to Own a Yacht?
The true cost to own a yacht is an area of concern for many prospects of yacht ownership. And it should be.
Maintenance costs, exploitation costs, total cost compared to yacht charter, we detail in this article the expenses (especially the hidden ones) you have to consider before buying your first yacht !
We also provide you several solutions to lighten your investment and reduce the cost to own your yacht.
If you are looking for the price of a yacht charter (rental), please read this article instead .
How much is a yacht?
Before diving into the expenses that comes monthly, yearly or every decades once you own a yacht, let’s answer the elephant in the room: How much is a yacht (alone) in the first place? The short answer is… it depends, of course. But in most cases, the longer the yacht, the higher is her selling price.
Generally speaking, you can expect to find yachts for sale in the following price ranges:
- Below 50ft (15m): between 500K – 2,500,000 € / USD
- Between 50-70ft (15-21m): between 2 millions and 6 millions € / USD ( See our 9 catamarans for sale under 6 millions here )
- Between 70-100ft (20-30m): between 6 millions and 20 millions € / USD
- Superyachts over 100ft (30m): minimum 10 millions € / USD
You can always find exceptions to the rule and find cheaper or more expensive yachts for sale outside of these price brackets.
A lot of factors come into the selling price of a yacht: supply and demand, brand / model reputation, age and condition of the vessel, urgency or lack of for the sale and so on.
What are the main hidden costs that come with yacht ownership?
You probably already guessed it, the cost of owning a yacht doesn’t stop at its purchase price . In some cases, the price you bought your yacht at can seem like a bargain, but it really isn’t once you start adding all the hidden costs, and many of them come yearly.
Here are the main ones you should be wary of.
Yacht exploitation and running costs : always calculate them carefully before buying your yacht
It always cost you money to exploit your yacht.
When you are chartering a yacht, a part of these operation costs is included in your APA (Advanced Provisionning Allowance) .
When you own a yacht, these costs still apply , but you will have to pay directly for them.
Among the main operation costs, the most important are usually the following:
- The fuel: its cost will depend on the type of boat, her fuel consumption, the region, and the distances traveled;
- The mooring fees which depends on the area but also on the boat size;
- The crew, if you need it. The cost will depend on the frequency and the crew’s size;
- The communication fees;
- The food and beverages supplies;
- All the expenses related to your leisure activities.
Yachts maintenance: a cost that you should definitely not overlook
Even outside of its operating period, it still costs you money to own your yacht!
Maintenance of your boat isn’t an option and must be done on an ongoing basis. The price vary depending on the type of yacht you are owning (motor, sail, etc…), the size of the vessel, but also how old she is.
The maintenance costs include :
- The regular maintenance of certain equipment, like engines, thrusters, sails, rigging, safety equipment, hull(s) (fairing)…;
- The occasional maintenance operations in case of breakdown or damage;
- The painting;
- The cleaning and the specialized maintenance products (for teak, leather, …).
The costs of maintenance and upkeep will obviously not be the same if you do it yourself or if you call in specialists. But regardless, you should have a budget buffer dedicated to maintenance costs when you plan on buying a yacht, especially if she already had a long sailing life.
The taxes and insurance premiums of a yacht: a cost that most forget
Consider the different taxes (at the purchase and annual) and the yearly yacht insurance that you have to pay. A specialized insurance policy is generally estimated at between 0.8% and 1.2% of the boat’s purchase price per year.

Yearly harbor fees : a very important hidden cost of yacht ownership
The port and/or winterization fees are also a big part of yacht ownership costs that you should carefuly estimate.
Depending on your region, you may need to consider “dry-docking” your boat, which involves handling, transport, and storage which can be really expensive.
If you can leave your yacht in the water all year round, you will need to go for a harbor ring concession.
Depending on the marina and its infrastructure, the region, and your boat’s size, the costs may considerably vary from a few hundred dollars to thousands of dollars a month . However, it is easy to obtain this information from marinas once you have chosen which yacht to purchase.
The depreciation’s price of a yacht
A yacht, like a car, will depreciate . It is difficult to estimate the depreciation, as it depends on economic conditions, exchange rates, price inflation when new, the type of boat, and the shipyard.
However, it is reasonable to estimate a minimum depreciation of 10% in the first year, then 7% in the following years. From the fifth year on, the depreciation tends to slow down. On the other hand, the operating costs increase.
Summary of the main operating and maintenance costs of owning a yacht
So, to sum up, how much does it cost to own a yacht? It largely depends on your type of yacht and your location.
But in general, owning a yacht will cost you between 10-25% of its value annualy . The longer the yacht, the likelier you are to be at the end of the spectrum.
Here are the reasonable costs you could consider:
- 10% of its value annually for a 60ft (18m) / 1 million USD yacht and below (=max 100K / year)
- 20% of its value annually for a 100ft (30m) / 10 millions USD yacht and above (=min 2 millions / year)
These brackets of total costs include everything: usual yacht maintenance, upkeep and operating costs that will be distribued as follow:
- Communication
- Maintenance
- Insurance premiums
- Harbour fees
- Cost of depreciation
Are you worried? Do not. Luckily, there are numerous ways to decrease the overall cost of yacht ownership and still enjoy yachting as it should be. Read the next paragraphs to know these valuable tricks.

How to reduce the cost of yacht ownership?
A yacht keeps on costing money even when not in use, so the best way to make it a more profitable investment is to increase its exploitation.
Renting your own yacht : a good way to reduce the costs of owning a boat
When you are not using the boat, you can earn income by renting it out. The rental price depends on the type and size of the boat, but also its location. While making money from renting is possible, don’t expect to pay back all your expenses. Nevertheless, it will help you in avoiding your yacht becoming a financial burden.
The easiest way to do this is to hire a professional charter company to help you. If you go for a reputable and experienced company, you will benefit from their expertise and contacts. It will also save you from legal, insurance, and withdrawal issues and avoid red tape.
On the topic : Yacht to Charter : Can It Be Profitable?
Fractional yacht ownership: share the cost of owning a yacht with co-owners
Another solution to own a yacht at lower cost is fractional ownership of a boat , which means that you own a fraction of it. It can be half, a quarter, or even less. For a long time, boaters have been opting for this option of partial ownership with friends or family. These days some companies create formalized fractional ownership arrangements for more guarantees.
For example, in partnership with the Windward Islands, SAILING RESORT proposes fractional boat ownership on the fabulous trimaran, the LEEN 72’. So you can become a co-owner of the new hybrid-powered multihull which can accommodate up to 10 passengers and 4 crew members. You will enjoy private use of the trimaran (depending on the period) from 6 to 12 weeks during the first 5 years.
This program proposes a profitable commercial operation with 24/7 premium service. It is a tailor-made solution for all those who want to feel like owners of a prestigious yacht for a few days a year while limiting their investment and responsibilities. WI manages the operation of the yacht for you out of your personal use, like the charter’s organization, maintenance, insurance, annual mooring, and all other administrative tasks.
Once you have weighed the pros and cons and have the means to finance both the purchase and the annual costs (maintenance, operation, …) of your yacht, you should go for it! Indeed, if you can evaluate the hidden costs and expenses of owning a boat, the freedom and unforgettable memories are priceless.
Yacht Charter remains a cheaper alternative than yacht ownership in many cases
If you can’t enjoy your yacht frequently or are still unsure about whether it’s worth the cost or not to own a yacht, you might consider chartering instead. This will allow you to try out different models , from various shipyards, and see which ones you prefer.
Therefore, the cost of renting a yacht will save you from having to worry about all those hidden costs of owning one. All you have to do is pay for your charter, your cancellation insurance and set your APA during your stay. This way, you only pay money, time, and effort when you use the boat.

Frequently asked question
For a 60-foot or million-dollar yacht, the cost per year will be about 10% of its value or $100,000 per year.
You should expect to pay about 20% or more of the original price of your boat to run it annually. So, for a $10 million yacht, the cost to operate will be about $2 million per year, including fuel, insurance, dock fees, maintenance and repairs, crew, etc.
A 180-foot superyacht and/or mega yacht costs a minimum of $4.75 million per year to operate and maintain. Kitty McGowan of the US Superyacht Association estimates an annual budget of $1 million for maintenance and repairs, $350,000 for dockage, $240,000 for insurance, $400,000 for fuel, and $1.4 million for the crew. Add another 15-25% of the vessel’s value for V.A.T.
Once you have weighed the pro and cons, if you can afford the purchase and all the hidden annual expenses, have found your dreamed yacht, and have time to enjoy it, you should go for yacht ownership!
It is not the best way to make money, but you can minimize your annual expenses by renting it or opting for fractional boat ownership.
It’s hard to tell. As long as you have the money and enough time to enjoy it, it is worth owning a yacht! Everything cannot be estimated. For example, it will bring you invaluable freedom and happiness.
One of the easiest way to reduce the maintenance cost of a yacht is to fractional yacht ownership. That way, the maintenance expenses are spread among co-owners according to their shares.
It varies greatly depending on the size of the yacht. For a yacht of 60ft (18m), you will likely spend around 10% of its purchase value each year in maintenance and exploitation costs.
Luxury yachts have maintenance and operation costs that are around 10% of their value yearly. So if a yacht value is 2 millions USD, its maintenance and operations costs should be around 200K / year.
Operating a sailboat is usually 20-40% cheaper than the same size motoryacht. Motoryachts tend to be more expensive to operate than sailboats as the fuel consumption can become an important expenditure fast.
A small yacht below 50ft is usually for sale between 500K and 2,5 millions USD / €. A mid-size yacht between 50ft and 100ft is usually for sale between 2-15 millions USD / €. Above 100ft, the selling price is rarely below 10 millions USD / €.

The Price Tag of Luxury: How Much Does a Yacht Cost?
In the realm of luxury living, only a few icons symbolize the epitome of luxury and adventure, like a majestic yacht. However, one question stands. How much does a yacht cost?

Fortunately, there is a general method of evaluating the cost of purchasing and maintaining a yacht. Yacht Management South Florida, Inc. We are renowned for delivering the best yacht management services across South Florida.
Our expert team has years of experience in the industry, providing reliable and accurate information for anyone looking to enter the yachting world. We have crafted a comprehensive guide to streamline and understand the total costs of yacht ownership.
How Much Does It Cost to Buy a Yacht?
As mentioned previously, the cost of a yacht varies depending on many factors, such as size, brand, age, and condition. Yachts can come in a wide range of sizes, from vessels under 40 feet to superyachts that exceed 100 feet in length. Yachts th
at are smaller in size can be purchased for a few hundred thousand dollars, making them more affordable for first-time boaters or those with a smaller budget for their recreational boat. Vessels that exceed 100 feet tend to cater more towards the boating elite, and the cost can reach millions of dollars due to the extensive craft and luxury.
In addition to the initial cost of a yacht, prospective yacht owners must keep in mind the ongoing expenses of owning a boat, including:
- Maintenance
- Crew salaries
- Dockage fees
- And more These operational costs can vary significantly depending on the size of the vessel. Still, the rule of thumb is to estimate 10% to 20% of the yacht’s purchase price to operational maintenance costs annually.
How Much Is a 100-Foot Yacht? A 100-foot yacht is the ultimate epitome of luxury in the yachting world. Any vessel above 100 feet offers unparalleled space, comfort, and features to provide a supreme escape out to sea. However, such luxury comes with great responsibility and a hefty price tag. On average, a luxury superyacht can cost tens of millions, especially for a reputable yacht manufacturer. Remember, these prices for more lavish and technologically advanced yacht models can drastically increase.
Yacht Maintenance Costs Effectively maintaining a yacht, specifically in a maritime haven like South Florida, entails various maintenance tasks such as yacht hull painting, fiberglass yacht repair, and gelcoat blister repair. Yacht owners must budget themselves accordingly for routine yacht upkeep, repairs, and cosmetic enhancements. Regular maintenance is imperative for South Florida yacht maintenance to preserve your vessel’s longevity due to the salty air and warm climate. As yacht costs vary, yacht maintenance costs can also fluctuate depending on a vessel’s specific needs.
Ensuring that you prioritize basic yacht upkeep tasks is essential for keeping your boat in top-notch condition.

How Much Does It Cost To Buy A Yacht?
By Rob Bowman | Posted On Aug 09, 2021 Updated On Dec 12, 2023
If you're new to owning a boat and want to experience the luxury lifestyle, buying a yacht is the perfect way to indulge yourself while also creating unforgettable memories on the water. From anchoring at a secluded island in the Caribbean to cruising the coastline enjoying the fall colors, yacht ownership opens up limitless possibilities to explore the beauty of Mother Nature. It can also create quite the adrenaline rush if a sportfishing boat is more your style. There are many benefits to hiring a professional yacht broker when you plan on buying your first yacht including having someone on your side when evaluating the right price, for the right vessel.
So how much does it cost to buy a yacht on average? In 2021, the average selling price of a yacht is approximately $640,000, with prices ranging from $300,000 to over $15,000,000. This average selling price represents all pre-owned boats from 40-feet to 100-feet, power (not sail), and sold in the Southeastern United States, including the large Florida market. The data collected for this sales price was from the boating industry's MLS system.
This 50-foot flybridge yacht (seen below) was sold around the average selling price mentioned above and is a good example of what you can expect when spending over $500k . It features several bedrooms for overnight trips, a galley, a nice flybridge seating area, and a lot of comforts you would find at home.
A yacht can mean vastly different things to different people depending on their style of boating, where they live, what they plan to do on the boat, and the amount of equipment they choose. A 50-foot yacht can vary in price by several hundred thousand dollars depending on how new it is, its engines, brand, and amenities. Having a conversation about your needs and budget with a professional yacht broker can answer all of these questions and take the guesswork out of your search.
While the average price of a yacht sold in the Southeast this year is $640,000, buyers can find yachts for less if they are willing to go a bit older and/or a bit smaller.
- According to the list of 2021 sold boats, the average selling price for yachts between 40 and 50 feet was $329,000.
- Yachts under 40 feet are generally called cruising boats and can still feature a lot of the same amenities found on larger vessels.
- How much does a small yacht cost? Examples of active boats on the market right now show a sizeable difference in price depending on the length and year. For example, a 2021 40-foot Intrepid boat is listed for over $800,000 , while a 2011 Intrepid 40 is listed for under $400,000 .
(Seen below: This Cabo 40 would be considered a smaller yacht and is listed for under $375,000.)
The larger, newer, and more extravagant yachts can cost $5 million and higher. Forbes.com identifies a superyacht as a vessel ranging from "79 feet to more than 590 feet in length." The average selling price in 2021 for yachts over 100-feet, according to the industry MLS database, came in at just under $1 million. Of course, there were several superyachts that were between $10 million and $50 million on the list.
A prime example of a superyacht would be " ANTITHESIS ", a Horizon Yachts 136 that had an asking price of $7,990,000 at the time of sale. This superyacht featured 5 luxury staterooms, a pilothouse with full electronics suite, a jacuzzi, sauna, 2 water-makers, 2 generators, and a lot more top-end equipment. Yacht owners looking to cruise long distances or possibly turn the vessel into a yacht charter business would be interested in a boat of this stature.
( Seen below: This Horizon 136 required massive engines that gave it a range of over 1,400 nautical miles. )
The cost of a yacht is not the only cost to consider. Purchasing your new boat is the largest upfront expense, however, there are also the costs of owning a yacht that need to be considered. This is again where hiring an experienced, professional yacht broker can really pay dividends and take a lot of the stress out of the process. Things like insurance, storage, routine maintenance, captain and crew salaries, all need to be factored in to your expectations. We dive into this a bit more in our articles Why Are Boats So Expensive? and What Should I Spend On A Yacht?
Despite the potentially high cost of yacht ownership, it is still an excellent investment in your well-being and will bring countless joyful memories. There is no other recreation in the world that brings families and friends together, while enjoying the wonders of the ocean.
( Seen below: CHIMERA is a 60-foot Hinckley sailing yacht listed for over $1 million. )
While the purchase of sailboats still account for less than 10% of all boats sold, sailing is still a popular past-time which has some very passionate enthusiasts. According to Trade Only Today , in 2019 and 2020 there were more than 1,100 sailboats sold in the United States. As you begin to figure out exactly what type of boating you want to enjoy, as well to learn the advantages and disadvantages of different boat types, you can begin to narrow down the selection process.
Below is the average cost to purchase a small yacht broken out by type :
- Sailboats Over 40': $193,000
- Sailing Catamarans - All Sizes: $361,000
- Power Catamarans - All Sizes: $304,247
- Downeast Yachts - Over 35': $532,240
- Sport Fishing Yachts - Over 40' and in Southeast: $815,500
With so many factors to determine how much it costs to buy a yacht and maintain it, it is in the best interest of boat buyers of this magnitude to speak with a certified professional yacht broker. "Pricing a yacht in this market can be a difficult thing," said Brian T. Franc , CPYB and manager of United's Emerald Coast Division. "Pre-owned prices are definitely inflated due to lack of inventory, but there are still some great opportunities if you are fast and have someone watching the market daily on your behalf. As someone who has been in the yacht brokerage industry for almost 30 years, I can tell you that working with a professional makes a difference. We can tell almost immediately whether a boat is over-priced, what it will likely sell for, and whether or not it is the right boat for your needs.

The PJ 170 is one of the most iconic superyacht in the world. The radical lines designed by Nuvolari Lenard conceal an incredible level of luxury.

The yacht can accommodate up to 10 guests in the utmost luxury, including a full beam master suite accessed by private staircase featuring a walk-in wardrobe.
The 170’s design is notable for incorporating strong, substantial lines without sacrificing the refined elegance of its smaller predecessors. By emphasizing expansive open areas, the owner’s experience becomes even more opulent and cozy. The foredeck swimming pool and lounge area is one example of the sheer indulgence this model has to offer discerning Super Sport Yacht owners.
The precision and efficacy of the 170’s design are unrivaled thanks to an innovative and cutting-edge modular construction concept. This flagship model features innovative engineering and design elements exclusive to the brand.
The sleek profile and aggressive stance of the instantly recognizable PJ Sportyacht series are emphasized even further on the PJ 170 due to this model’s increased length. The 170 also features dual Gyro stabilizers that eliminate the need for external fins below the waterline, a first for a large Sportyacht.
