M/Y Destiny
A 2014 Fifth Ocean Shipyard 79-footer on the market through the YATCO MLS.
"Destiny" is a 2014 Fifth Ocean Shipyard 79' expedition yacht offered for sale at $2,450,000, lying North Miami, Florida. Explorer yachts are bought for what they can actually do, and the gap between the marketing word and a genuinely expedition-capable vessel is wide - range at load, redundancy, and classification have to be verified, not believed.
Power is twin Caterpillar C7 205 kW. She cruises around 7 knots and tops out near 11 knots, carrying 4,491 gallons of fuel.
Accommodations run to 4 staterooms, plus crew quarters sleeping 4.
Highlights

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 79-foot expedition yacht?
As of 2026, industry estimates for a crewed 79-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 "Destiny"?
She is lying in North Miami, 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 7 knots, top speed about 11 knots and 4,491 gallons of fuel with twin Caterpillar C7 205 kW - comfortable Florida-Bahamas legs and seasonal Caribbean runs.
