Market Data · Updated October 9, 2026
Real asking prices from 1,936 US yachts on the market today, by size, age and builder, read by a Fort Lauderdale broker who has closed over $90 million in yacht sales.
The Short Answer
A used yacht in the United States asks a median $422,500 at 40 to 49 feet, $1.45 million at 60 to 69 feet, $4.99 million at 100 to 129 feet and $8.9 million at 130 feet and above. Price per foot climbs with size, from about $9,400 a foot to $65,000. About half of all US yachts over 40 feet ask under $1 million.
Median asking prices, every active US listing with a published price on the YATCO MLS, October 5, 2026. Asking is not sold: final prices are negotiated and never published.
Prices by Size
Length is the biggest driver of price. The table gives the median ask, the range that covers most boats in each size (10th to 90th percentile), the median price per foot and how long the typical boat has been listed.
Of 1,173 US yachts of 40 feet and over with a published price, 593 ask under $1 million. The median is $999,000. Only 27 ask $10 million or more.
Two things stand out. Price per foot more than doubles between a 50-footer and a 100-footer, because bigger yachts carry more systems, more volume and crew quarters, not just more length. And bigger yachts sell faster: the median 130-foot yacht has been listed 348 days against 552 for a 40-footer. For the full breakdown behind these numbers, see the US yacht market report.

A used 40 to 49 foot yacht asks a median $422,500, and most sit between $129,900 and $1,197,000. Step up to 50 to 59 feet and the median is $795,000. This is the busiest part of the market, 633 of the 1,173 US yachts over 40 feet, and the slowest: the typical boat in it has been listed for well over a year, which is exactly where a buyer has room to negotiate.
New costs a great deal more. The 29 yachts of 40 to 49 feet built in 2024 or later ask a median $1,195,000, almost three times the used median. At 50 to 59 feet the gap is $2,150,000 new against $795,000 used.
60 to 99 Feet
A medium-sized yacht of 60 to 99 feet asks a median $1,480,000 at 60 to 69 feet, $1,687,500 at 70 to 79 feet and $2,750,000 at 80 to 99 feet, across 408 US listings on the YATCO MLS as of October 26, 2026. Most 60 to 69 footers ask between $419,100 and $3,295,000; at 80 to 99 feet the range runs from $1,253,600 to $7,585,000 (10th to 90th percentile).
Time on the market shortens as the boats get bigger: the median 60 to 79 foot listing has been for sale about 14 months, the median 80 to 99 footer 326 days. Every band is recomputed weekly in the US yacht market report, and this week's confirmed reductions are on yacht price drops.
Superyachts
Yachts of 100 to 129 feet ask a median $4,985,000, and the top tenth ask above $12 million. At 130 feet and above the median is $8,900,000, with the top tenth above $20 million. Only 27 US yachts on the market ask $10 million or more. A new superyacht is quoted by the shipyard and usually costs far more than a used one of the same length.
The series-built American superyachts show the spread inside one builder. A Westport 112 asks $2,625,000 for a 1999 hull and $9,995,000 for a 2017; Westport 130s ask $8,450,000 to $12,900,000. See Westport yacht prices by model and the full Westport guide.
New vs Used
Same size band, 50 to 79 feet, so length is held steady and only the age changes.
A five to nine year old yacht asks 40 percent less than one under five, and the price roughly halves again every decade after that. For a buyer the middle of that curve is where the value usually is: the steepest loss has been taken by the first owner, and the boat is young enough that systems and styling still hold up. For a seller it is the reason to price against today’s comparables rather than what you paid.

What Is My Yacht Worth?By Builder
The six builders with the most US listings of 40 feet and over. Each has its own price page with asking bands by size.
The badge moves time on market more than price. Viking and Sunseeker ask almost the same median, about $1.5 million, but the typical Viking has been listed 292 days and the typical Sunseeker 1,010. A boat that sells faster is easier to buy right and easier to sell later.
Beyond the Price
At purchase: budget for a marine survey, a sea trial, a haul-out to inspect the hull and running gear, documentation and closing costs, and sales or use tax where it applies. In Florida that last one is significant; see Florida boat sales tax.
Every year after: the industry rule of thumb for crewed yachts is about 8 to 10 percent of the yacht’s value per year. Owner-operated boats under about 60 feet usually run below it; costs step up when the boat needs professional crew, typically from around 80 feet. The full breakdown is in what a yacht costs to own and run.
The next yard period: on an older yacht, the work she needs belongs in the purchase math, not after it. Per industry estimates a systems refit runs about 10 to 20 percent of the vessel’s value. See yacht refit management in Fort Lauderdale and what owners actually refit, and when.
Timing
When the seller is ready to negotiate. 56 percent of US yachts of 40 feet and over have been listed for more than a year, and those are the listings where an offer below the ask gets a conversation. Days on market matters more than the calendar.
When the price has already moved. Double G tracks every confirmed price cut on the MLS each week. In the two weekly pulls since September 28, 2026 there were 20, with a median reduction of 7 percent and the largest 18.9 percent. This week’s list is on yacht price drops, and the wider picture on are boat prices dropping.
When the market is in one place. The Fort Lauderdale International Boat Show runs October 28 to November 1, 2026, and 72 percent of US yachts over 40 feet are already lying in Florida. It is the one week a buyer can compare most of the market in person.

The median asking price of a US yacht of 40 feet or more is $999,000, and about half of them (593 of 1,173) ask under $1 million. The median is more useful than the average here, because a handful of superyachts asking $10 million or more pulls the average far above what a typical yacht costs.
