What does it cost to run a 130-foot motor yacht?
As of 2026, industry estimates for a crewed 130-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. Westport's US-based build and parts support keep long-term costs predictable. Greg can build a realistic operating budget for this yacht before you offer.

How much is Florida sales tax on a yacht?
