01 · The Price of Length

Price per foot quadruples
as the boat grows.

A 130-footer doesn't just cost more - every foot of it costs more. Median asking price per foot climbs from $11,342 in the 40-59 band to $61,806 above 130 feet. Bars show median price per foot; each band links to the live listings behind it.

02 · Liquidity

The bigger the yacht,
the faster it sells.

Counterintuitive but consistent: the median 40-59 foot listing has sat 503.5 days, while the median 130-footer moves in 294. Large-yacht buyers are fewer but decisive - and their boats are professionally presented. Within every band, presentation is what beats the median. That is the job of a marketing-led brokerage.

If you're buying

Slow bands are leverage: a listing far past its band's median days on market is a negotiation, not a price tag. Greg reads a boat's time-on-market against these medians before you offer - and as buyer's broker, his representation costs you nothing.

If you're selling

Your competition is the median: hundreds of days of average marketing. Cinematic presentation, search and AI visibility, and price positioning against live comparables are how a listing leaves this chart early. Every Double G central agency includes a written marketing plan and owner reporting.

Common Questions

How much does a yacht cost in 2026? Across 2,253 active USD listings on the YATCO MLS as of August 19, 2026: median asking price is $549,000 for 40-59 footers, $1.49M at 60-79 feet, $2.93M at 80-99 feet, $4.99M at 100-129 feet, and $8.90M at 130 feet and above. Price per foot rises from about $11,342 to $61,806 across those bands.

How long does it take to sell a yacht? As of August 19, 2026 the median active listing in the 40-59 foot band has been on the market 503 days, falling to 294 days at 130 feet and above. Larger yachts move faster - and within every band, presentation quality is what separates a listing from the median. That is the core of the Double G marketing approach.

Where are most yachts for sale in the US? Florida holds 67% of all US brokerage inventory in this dataset, and Fort Lauderdale alone holds 30% of Florida's - roughly one in five brokerage yachts in America lies in one city. See the live Fort Lauderdale selection on this site.

Are these sold prices? No - these are asking prices of active listings on the YATCO MLS, a professional multiple-listing service that covers a large share of the brokerage market but not all of it. Sold prices typically close below ask. For a pricing opinion on a specific yacht, Greg runs real comparables including confirmed sold data.

Method. Data: all active USD-priced listings on the YATCO MLS at the date shown (2,253 vessels), a professional multiple-listing service covering a large share of the brokerage market - not the whole market. Figures are medians of asking prices, not sold prices; days on market measures current active listings. Aggregated by Double G Yacht Sales; refreshed automatically every week.
