M/Y Empire
A 2024 Cantiere Delle Marche 86-footer on the market through the YATCO MLS.
"Empire" is a 2024 Cantiere Delle Marche 86' motor yacht offered for sale at $10,500,000, lying Fort Lauderdale, Florida. South Florida is the deepest brokerage market in the world for large motor yachts, and condition separates the good buys from the money pits - which is why independent buyer representation matters more here than anywhere.
Power is twin 13080M 03-61D 294Kw (400 cv) @ 1.800 RPM IMO TIER II EPA TIER III, 400 hp each, showing 360 hours. She cruises around 8 knots and tops out near 11 knots, carrying 36,000 gallons of fuel.
Accommodations run to 4 staterooms for 10 guests, plus crew quarters sleeping 4. She carries naval architecture by Hydro Tec and interior by Alessandro Massari.
Highlights
What sets this hull apart on today's market.
Greg Gaus has closed superyacht sales including the 164' Westport "Boardwalk" at $26,000,000 and the Westport 125 "Lion's Den" at $19,000,000, after 20+ years as a professional captain running vessels of this class. That is the lens every Double G buyer gets on this listing: what the hull is really worth, what the survey should focus on, and how she compares with every sistership currently for sale.

“
Empire, designed with Hydro Tec’s signature Darwin aesthetics and CdM’s unique technical approach, is a testament to superior construction and design. The yacht’s project has been developed for long voyages also in high-latitude regions, so it includes an ‘ice belt’ at the waterline and reinforced hull and rudders for icy conditions.Listing description · YATCO MLS

Who is selling "Empire"?

What does it cost to run a 86-foot motor yacht?
As of 2026, industry estimates for a crewed 86-footer typically run mid to high six figures per year, with a crew of roughly four to six, covering crew, fuel, insurance, dockage, and maintenance. Greg can build a realistic operating budget for this yacht before you offer.
Where can I see "Empire"?
She is lying in Fort Lauderdale, Florida and shows by appointment through your broker. Contact Double G Yacht Sales to arrange a private showing.
How does the purchase process work?
Accepted offer, then a survey and sea trial contingency of typically 7 to 14 days. Greg - a licensed captain with 20+ years at sea - attends the survey and sea trial personally and manages everything through closing.
How much is Florida sales tax on a yacht?
Florida charges 6% sales tax on boats but caps the total at $18,000 per vessel regardless of price - one of the most favorable regimes in the US. Out-of-state buyers who remove the vessel within the statutory window may qualify for an exemption.
How fast is she, and what is the range?
Cruise around 8 knots, top speed about 11 knots and 36,000 gallons of fuel with twin 13080M 03-61D 294Kw (400 cv) @ 1.800 RPM IMO TIER II EPA TIER III, 400 hp each - comfortable Florida-Bahamas legs and seasonal Caribbean runs.
