Superyacht Guide

Cost of a Superyacht

The cost of a superyacht depends on size, age, builder, specification, condition, crew, maintenance and operating profile.

There is no single cost for a superyacht. Purchase price and operating costs vary widely depending on the yacht and how it is used.

Purchase price

Purchase price is influenced by length, builder, age, condition, specification, market demand, refit history, design, pedigree and availability.

Annual running costs

Running costs commonly include crew salaries, maintenance, insurance, berthing, fuel, management, surveys, communications, provisions, tenders, toys and periodic refit work.

New build costs

New build pricing depends on yard, size, engineering complexity, interior specification, customisation, materials, delivery schedule and project management.

Verify before relying

Any cost estimate should be treated as a guide only. Buyers and owners should verify figures with brokers, managers, surveyors, shipyards, tax advisers and insurers.
