Frequently Asked Questions

What Should I look for Before Buying a Yacht?

Key considerations before buying a yacht include your preferences, intended use, and staying informed about the market. Attending yacht shows or chartering can help define your needs. Working with a knowledgable broker ensures accurate pricing and a seamless buying experience.

How do I buy a yacht?

Speak to your Y.CO Broker who will advise on pricing, offering market comparisons and analysis reports. They will also arrange sea trials and inspections, supported by Y.CO's technical team. Your Y.CO Broker will collect documents and collaborate with all parties for agreement completion.

Superyacht For Sale: Amels 180 “Galene”

• By Yachting Staff
• September 13, 2024

“If there were a Guinness Book of Records listing for the world’s most successful superyacht design, it would surely be reserved for the Amels 180.”

So says the Dutch shipyard Amels, which produced the Amels 180 Limited Editions for 15 years, turning out 25 hulls that remain popular on the brokerage market today.

The last of the Amels 180 Limited Editions to roll off the production line was Galene —which Y.CO just listed for sale. It’s listed as a 2020 model with an asking price of about $44 million.

“ Galene is a masterpiece of engineering with a proven track record of exceptional maintenance by an attentive owner and experienced crew,” James Pool of the Y.CO sales team stated in a press release. “Designed for serious cruising, she offers a transoceanic range, making her ideal for extended voyages. With a stylish interior, spacious accommodation and an impressive array of water toys, she is also charter-ready with a stellar reputation.”

Interiors are actually a big part of what makes each hull of the Amels 180 Limited Editions different. The exteriors on these hulls are by Tim Heywood, but Amels has always marketed the interiors as owners’ choice—a key selling feature that other shipyards have since adopted as they start to construct models on spec and then sell them in time for owners to put a personal stamp on the décor.

Aboard Galene , the interiors are by Laura Sessa. They have light, bright colors accented by dark pops. Y.CO says the yacht is “exceptionally maintained,” with accommodations for as many as 12 guests in five staterooms.

Performance-wise, according to Y.CO, Galene has a top speed of 15.5 knots, driven by twin MTU 2000 M70s. That’s the same top hop that Amels quotes for the series, also listing a range of 4,000 nautical miles at a cruising speed of 11.5 knots.

“As the last in the popular Amels 180 Limited Edition Series, Galene is built on a proven platform with every guest luxury on board,” according to the Y.CO team. “With her inviting layout, impressive space and striking features such as fold-down balconies in both the main salon and principal cabin, plus an expansive sundeck, Galene stands in a league of her own.”

Where can potential buyers view Galene ? At the Monaco Yacht Show, which is scheduled to take place from September 25-28.

Ionic Batteries 12V 1200Ah Lithium-Ion Battery  »

70% lighter than comparable lead acid battery

Bluetooth-enabled for easy monitoring

Automatic cold weather protection

Can daisy-chain with up to 3 other batteries

Very expensive

Some units have bad cells

The Ionic Batteries 12V 1200Ah Lithium-Ion Battery is a powerhouse tucked into a portable package. At well under 30 pounds, it weighs about half as much as a comparable lead acid battery, yet it delivers plenty of juice for hours at a time. This battery can operate in temperatures as cold as -4 degrees Fahrenheit or as hot as 140 degrees, with a built-in cold weather protection system that prevents it from taking a charge in temperatures below 24 degrees F. Also, you’ll always know where your charge stands because this battery has Bluetooth technology that lets you track its charge level in real time.

This is an expensive trolling motor battery, there are no two ways about that. And some units apparently have cell failures that dramatically limit the duration of power output. However, most last well for more than a decade and enjoy a charge cycle of up to 5,000 charges and discharges, though. And when linked together with up to three additional batteries, you can create enough power to run more than just a trolling motor, but a life off the grid.

Weize TL12100 Deep Cycle AGM 12 Volt 100Ah Battery  »

Good price point

AGM safety features

Color-coded and clearly marked terminals

Requires recharge ASAP after discharge to preserve capabilities

A Weize TL12100 Deep Cycle AGM 12 Volt 100Ah Battery will cost you hundreds of dollars less than a lithium-ion battery with similar power output capabilities, yet it’s durable, reliable, and has a very low self-discharge rate. The battery loses just 1-3% of its charge per month, or only up to 40% of its charge during an entire year of disuse. When you are using this battery with your trolling motor, be sure to recharge it as soon as you can after it gets discharged, or it will eventually start to lose some capacity. The last thing you want is to have your fishing rod in hand in the middle of a lake or river but no way to get back to shore.

As is always the case with lead-acid batteries, this thing is very heavy. At 57 pounds, it might be too heavy for smaller boats, but if your vessel can handle the weight, you’ll be pleased to get a 12-volt, 100 amp hour battery for well under $200 that will last for many years to come, and one with AGM (absorbent glass mat) layers that help prevent acid leakage, too.

ECO-WORTHY LiFePO4 12V 50Ah Lithium Iron Phosphate Battery  »

Very lightweight

Multiple protection features

Up to 15,000 charge cycles

Loses capacity if not kept charged up

Poor customer service

The ECO-WORTHY LiFePO4 12V 50Ah Lithium-Iron Phosphate Battery costs hundreds less than even large lithium-ion batteries (lithium-iron batteries tend to be more expensive than lithium-ion batteries), but it is tough and capable, rated to reach as many as 15,000 charging cycles. This battery has more safety features built into it than you ever knew existed. It has automatic short-circuit protection. It has overcharge and over-discharge protection features. It has high-temperature protection features. And it is safe from overcurrent damage.

All those safety features are good news because, according to reviews, the company’s customer service quality is not the best, but you’ll likely never need it. At just over $150, this battery is a good price for good quality, though, at 50Ah, it might lack the power that some trolling motors require.

Mighty Max ML7-12 Rechargeable Sealed Lead-Acid Battery  »

Great price point

Low self-discharge rate

AGM safety technology

Small Ah rating

Drains fast in cold weather

The Mighty Max ML7-12 Rechargeable Sealed Lead-Acid Battery costs just $20 but, in a pinch, it’s a plucky little battery you’ll be glad you brought along. To be clear, this battery is intended as a backup that you can use to motor home to safety, not as a battery that will have you out cruising the lake or river for hours on end. Its 7.2 amp hour rating is decidedly petite, but so too is this battery at just 4.5 pounds, so it’s no problem to tuck it in with the rest of your gear even if you hope to never need it.

While the Mighty Max ML7-12 Rechargeable Sealed Lead-Acid Battery holds a charge well in mild conditions (think while being stored on a shelf in your basement), it loses power fast in the cold. Its capacity diminishes by more than 35% in temperatures below freezing, but you probably won’t be out fishing in such cold weather anyway.

Li Time LiFePO4 24V 100Ah Battery  »

Hours of output

Reliable battery management system

Up to 15,000 cycles

Large and heavy

If your trolling motor calls for plenty of power, then the Li Time LiFePO4 24V 100Ah Battery will easily deliver. This 24-volt, 100 amp-hour battery will keep your motor running for hours on end, and it will be safe for frequent and extensive use, as well. The built-in BMS (or battery management system) prevents overcharging, over-current, short circuits, and overheating.

As big as it is on safety, the Li Time LiFePO4 24V 100Ah Battery is also just big. It’s nearly 2 feet wide and it weighs more than 45 pounds, but at least it has built-in carrying handles that will help you move it around. It’s also pretty big on price, at $500, but if you want to have plenty of power, you need to pay for it.

CHINS LiFePO4 36V 100Ah Deep Cycle Battery  »

All-day capabilities

Reliable waterproofing

Excellent safety features

Heavy and large

The CHINS LiFePO4 36V 100Ah Deep Cycle Battery is an expensive battery, there’s no two ways about it. But able to deliver 100 amps per hour and with a massage 36-volt rating, this battery can keep even an intense trolling motor whirring away for hours on end, though, so you’ll get what you pay for, namely power. It can be used in high heat safely and, with an IP65 waterproof rating, some splashes or drizzle aren’t going to impact your day on the water.

The 70.5-pound weight of this battery may be too much for smaller boats, but if you can fit it aboard, it will be the only trolling motor battery you’ll need for years to come, as it will last. And you can check on the charge status any time during those years thanks to built-in Bluetooth connectivity.

The Bottom Line

With the best trolling motor for your boat in place, you can enjoy hours of steady, smooth motoring about the lake, river, or bay. The Ionic Batteries 12V 1200Ah Lithium Ion Battery is our pick for the best trolling motor battery overall because it weighs 70% less than a comparable lead acid battery, it charges rapidly, and it is rated for an average of 4,000 charge cycles.

Things To Consider When Buying Trolling Motor Batteries

Battery Type: There are essentially three main types of trolling motor batteries: a lithium-ion battery, a lithium-iron phosphate battery, and a lead acid battery. Lithium batteries tend to be lighter in weight, have more capacity, and often last longer, but cost much more. Between the two lithium batteries, lithium-ion batteries tend to be less expensive and have a higher energy density than lithium-iron phosphate batteries; however, lithium-iron phosphate batteries are generally considered safer and more environmentally friendly.

Lead acid batteries are heavier and less efficient, but also much less expensive. Some lead acid trolling motor batteries also feature AGM technology (short for “absorbent glass mat”.) These layers can help prevent battery acid from leaking, so these fine glass separators are worth looking for.

Power Output: You need to have a battery powerful enough for your motor type and boat size, but you also don’t want a battery that’s overpowered. “Not having enough power in the right configuration for the system will lead to disappointment in performance,” says Chris Beres of Batteries Plus. “Battery capacity, rated in Ampere hours (or Ah), will play a role in overall run time.”

Charge Cycles: Most trolling motor batteries are rated for at least 3,000 charge cycles, meaning a full re-charging and full (or nearly full) discharging of the battery through use. Some trolling motor batteries may well last more than 10,000 charges, though, so consider a battery’s durability and longevity when weighing the cost-value balance.

Size and Weight: “When considering [physical properties] of the battery, the first thing is to determine what type of motor you have,” says Roy Widgeon of USA Kayak Fishing Magazine. “Is the trolling motor a stern mount motor on an aluminum boat, or do you have a large bass boat with a bow-mounted high-output motor?” Some batteries will simply be too large and heavy for smaller boats.

Discharge Rate: The discharge rate of a trolling motor battery depends on the battery amp-hour rating and the power consumption of the motor. A 100 amp-hour (Ah) battery can run a trolling motor for 25 hours at low speed and four amps, but only 2.5 hours at a high speed and 40 amps. The higher the amp-hour rating, the longer a trolling motor will run. “Be sure to use a deep cycle battery,” says Beres. “Deep cycle batteries are specifically designed to provide continuous power over an extended period of time, which is perfect for trolling motor use.”

Charge Time: Slow charging times can be an annoyance, especially if you only own one trolling motor battery. Check for charge time information before purchase when you can, and plan ahead and keep your battery charged up so it’s ready for use whenever you want it.

Safety Features: In lead acid batteries, look for that AGM protective layering that prevents acid leaks. Also consider shock absorption abilities, safe hot or cold operating temperatures, and of course good water resistance ratings, as these batteries will be used on the water.

How We Chose the Best Trolling Motor Batteries

Because this is a rather rarefied product category, U.S. News & World Report contributor Steven John reached out to several experts for input in the course of preparing this article. On the battery development side, John connected with Chris Beres, merchandise manager with Batteries Plus . He also spoke to Roy Widgeon, founder of USA Kayak Fishing Magazine , who often uses trolling motor batteries in practice.

Both Beres and Widgeon recommended several specific trolling motor batteries, but even more important was their information on how to choose and use the best trolling motor batteries based on your boat size and type, the waters in which you are fishing, and your battery budget. Armed with information about these essential power-delivery devices, John then selected a number of trolling motor batteries for closer consideration and narrowed the list down to those featured here.

She has worked reviewing and recommending products since 2019, researching and testing a wide array of items to help consumers make smart purchasing decisions.

“Match the power to how you use your boat,” says Beres. “Are you a weekend warrior, needing power occasionally for a few hours at a time, or do you need power like the pros, running all day long on a near daily basis? Are you trolling in a river or ocean current vs. still water? How large is the draw from the trolling motor size? Which is to say a bigger engine equals more power which equals larger capacity.”

Any decent trolling motor will last for at least 2,000 to 3,000 charge cycles, but some of the top-of-the-line lithium ion trolling motor batteries can far outperform that. In fact, some may well achieve 15,000 recharge and discharge cycles, which promises multiple years of use even if you’re out on the water almost daily.

It’s really a cost-benefit analysis to choose trolling motor battery types, but if budget is not a top concern, then lithium-ion is usually the way to go. “If you have a bass boat that you will be using the motor for an extended time period a lithium battery is the best option,” says Widgeon. “The lithium battery has many advantages over lead acid conventional batteries [such as] being much lighter, but it costs much more.” Consider your personal preferences as well. A lithium-iron phosphate battery has a lower environmental toll and may be a better choice for you.

You can find small, inexpensive trolling motor batteries decent for small boats, like kayaks or canoes, that cost less than $25. On the other hand, many larger, more powerful trolling motor batteries can cost well over $500 and even over $600.

Of course, and there’s no reason not to swap out an ailing battery. The process is simple and safe provided you follow basic safety precautions, so there’s no need to hire a professional to change your trolling motor battery; just make sure you understand the steps involved before commencing.
