"Scintilla Maris" is a 1988 Damen Maaskant Shipyard 150' motor yacht offered for sale at $16,000,000, lying Brunswick, Georgia. 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 1 x SBV 16M 628. She cruises around 9 knots and tops out near 12 knots, carrying 154,000 gallons of fuel.
Accommodations run to 5 staterooms for 10 guests, plus crew quarters sleeping 9. She carries naval architecture by Damen Maaskant and interior by Vripack.












Greg Gaus has closed superyacht sales up to 164 feet, including the Westport 164 "Boardwalk" and the Westport 125 "Lion's Den", 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.

What does it cost to run a 150-foot motor yacht?
As of 2026, industry estimates for a crewed 150-footer typically run high six figures to low seven figures per year, with a crew of about six to seven, covering crew, fuel, insurance, dockage, and maintenance. Greg can build a realistic operating budget for this yacht before you offer.
Where can I see "Scintilla Maris"?
She is lying in Brunswick, Georgia 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 9 knots, top speed about 12 knots and 154,000 gallons of fuel with 1 x SBV 16M 628 - comfortable Florida-Bahamas legs and seasonal Caribbean runs.
