As of 2026, industry estimates for a crewed 85-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 "Escape"?

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?

Cruise around 28 knots, top speed about 32 knots and 2,420 gallons of fuel with twin v12, 2,000 hp each - comfortable Florida-Bahamas legs and seasonal Caribbean runs.
