Two sub-bands

40–45m and 45–50m

  • 40–45m

    2 listed

    Many semi-custom platforms and fast-displacement yachts, often designed to remain under 500GT, with a full professional crew and separate service circulation.

    View 40–45m →

  • 45–50m

    8 listed

    More full-custom and displacement yachts, steel/aluminium construction, owner's decks, larger beach clubs and garages, and a growing share above 500GT.

    View 45–50m →

A yacht measuring exactly 50.00m appears on the 50–60m page. Smaller yachts are on the 30–40m page. For the wider category, see superyachts for sale.

Volume

Gross tonnage and sub-500GT yachts

Two yachts of the same length can feel completely different on board. Gross tonnage (GT) measures enclosed internal volume — it is not weight, and it is not displacement. At 40–50m, GT is often a better guide than length to living space, crew areas and running costs.

  • GT = enclosed volume; displacement = weight of water displaced
  • Many yachts near 40–45m are designed as 499GT; larger 45–50m yachts often exceed 500GT
  • The 500GT threshold commonly affects crew certification and some regulatory requirements, depending on flag and use
  • A high-volume 44m can exceed a low-volume 49m
  • Only the yacht's tonnage certificate is reliable — never a brochure figure
  • We show GT only where the yacht's documents support it

This is general information, not legal or regulatory advice. Confirm the requirements for a specific yacht with its flag, class society and a qualified adviser.

By type

Motor, sailing, catamaran and explorer

  • Motor yachts

    10 listed at 40–50m

    Planing, semi-displacement and displacement yachts — the largest share of this size.

    View 40–50m motor yachts →

  • Sailing yachts

    0 listed at 40–50m

    Performance and blue-water sailing yachts, typically semi-custom or full custom.

    All sailing yachts for sale →

  • Catamarans

    0 listed at 40–50m

    Large power and sailing catamarans with high volume for their length; berthing needs care.

    All catamarans for sale →

  • Explorer yachts

    0 listed at 40–50m

    Long-range, robust yachts built for remote cruising. Mission is documented separately from hull type.

    All explorer yachts for sale →

  • Flybridge

    Less common at this size; usually a sun deck above the bridge deck.

  • Tri-deck

    Three full decks above the main deck structure. We describe the actual deck arrangement rather than label by length.

  • Fast / planing

    High speed with higher fuel burn. Engine hours and drive condition are critical.

  • Displacement

    Efficient long-range cruising with more volume, usually steel hull and aluminium superstructure.

  • Open / sport

    Performance-led, with fewer interior decks and large exterior areas.

  • Explorer

    Range, tankage, tender capacity and robust systems over speed.

Build type

Series, semi-custom and full custom

Build type is one of the biggest differences between yachts of similar length. It shapes how easily a yacht can be compared, how it holds value, and what can be changed.

  • Series: a defined model with limited options — the easiest to compare against sisterships
  • Semi-custom: a proven hull and engineering platform with tailored layout and interiors — very common at 40–50m
  • Full custom: designed for one owner; increasingly common towards 50m and harder to benchmark
  • Model number ≠ actual length: always compare length overall, not the name
  • One model name can span several generations with different hulls, engines and layouts
  • Factory options and later refits shape value as much as year

Crew and circulation

A professionally crewed yacht

Every 40–50m yacht is run by a professional captain and crew, and the way crew move around the yacht — separately from guests — shapes the whole layout.

  • Crew cabins, crew mess and a dedicated crew stair
  • Galley location and service routes to the dining areas
  • Separate guest and crew circulation
  • Captain's cabin, often near the bridge
  • Crew numbers set by safe manning, use and service level
  • Watch-keeping and rest hours set by flag and use

Layout

Guests, master suite and leisure

  • Guest capacity: many privately used yachts accommodate up to 12 guests; documents decide
  • Master suite on the main deck, lower deck forward or a dedicated owner's deck
  • Cabin count and arrangement — doubles, twins, convertible cabins
  • Beach club with hydraulic platform or fold-down terraces
  • Tender garage versus deck-launched tenders and toys
  • Jacuzzi or pool on the sun deck
  • Helipad or touch-and-go deck — confirm certification, not just the marking
  • Guest elevator — rare at this size, confirm before assuming
  • Interior volume per guest — another reason to look at GT

Technical

Propulsion, stabilisation, range and speed

  • Shaft drive

    The most common arrangement at this size. Check shafts, seals, bearings and propellers at haul-out.

  • Waterjets

    Found on fast yachts. Check impellers, wear rings and steering hydraulics.

  • Hybrid / diesel-electric

    Quieter running at anchor and low speed. Battery age and system support matter.

  • Stabilisers

    Zero-speed fins or gyros make the biggest difference to comfort at anchor. Check type and service records.

  • Thrusters and DP

    Bow and stern thrusters ease docking; dynamic positioning is rare in this size.

  • Range and speed

    Depend on hull form, load and sea state. Treat brochure figures as indicative, never guaranteed.

  • Steel + aluminium

    Steel hull with aluminium superstructure — typical of displacement yachts. Check for corrosion and coatings.

  • Aluminium

    Common on fast yachts. Check welds, galvanic protection and fatigue.

  • GRP / composite

    Widespread on semi-custom planing yachts. Check core moisture, laminate and stress cracking.

Class and status

Class, flag and commercial status

Class, flag and commercial code are three different things, and each affects how a yacht can be used and sold.

  • Class society: technical standard and periodic surveys
  • Flag state: registration, manning and safety rules
  • Commercial code: needed for charter in many jurisdictions
  • Private or commercial registration affects tax, crew and use
  • Class survey due dates affect near-term cost
  • VAT and ownership status must be documented, never assumed

Charter potential

Can a 40–50m yacht charter?

Many 40–50m yachts are offered for sale and charter at the same time. Charter capability depends on commercial registration, crew, safety equipment, layout and location. Charter rates are not investment returns: income varies with season, demand, management and costs, and is never guaranteed.

Due diligence

How to assess a pre-owned 40–50m yacht

  • Independent pre-purchase survey, out of the water
  • Engine and generator survey, oil analysis, hours and service history
  • Class status and upcoming survey dates
  • Refit history: what was done, by whom and when
  • Paint and coatings, teak decks
  • Stabilisers, thrusters and hydraulics
  • AV/IT, network and cybersecurity
  • Tonnage, flag, VAT and ownership documents
  • Sea trial run by the yacht's captain with your surveyor present

Engine and machinery testing should be carried out only by qualified surveyors and the yacht's crew.

Ownership

Operating costs and berthing

  • Crew salaries and benefits — usually the largest cost
  • Berthing: high-season Mediterranean berths at 40–50m are scarce
  • Fuel, depending on speed and hull form
  • Insurance, class and flag fees
  • Maintenance, yard periods and refit reserve
  • Professional management and accounting

Costs vary widely by yacht and use. We prepare an outline for a specific yacht rather than quote a generic percentage.

Private sourcing

Off-market 40–50m yachts

New build

Buy pre-owned or build new?

Semi-custom platforms can offer shorter delivery than full custom, while full custom suits owners with time and a defined brief. Hulls on speculation and build slots are new-build opportunities, not resale listings, and delivery dates and prices must be confirmed by the builder. Explore new-build advisory →

40–50m yachts: frequently asked questions

Are there 40–50m yachts for sale with Lund Group right now?

The count on this page is live and shows only verified, published listings. When none are published in this size range, we can still search the wider market privately for your brief.

Is a 40m yacht included on this page?

No. This page covers yachts from 40.00m up to, but not including, 50.00m length overall. A yacht of exactly 50m appears on the 50–60m page. A yacht of exactly 40m appears here.

Can a 40–50m yacht be both for sale and for charter?

Yes. Some yachts are offered for sale while continuing to charter. Charter bookings, commercial registration and crew contracts can affect timing of handover, so we confirm them before any offer.

What does sub-500GT mean?

Gross tonnage (GT) measures enclosed internal volume, not weight. Many yachts near 40–45m are designed as 499GT; larger 45–50m yachts often exceed 500GT, a threshold that commonly affects crew certification and some regulatory requirements depending on flag and use. The yacht's own tonnage certificate is the only reliable source.

How many crew does a 40–50m yacht need?

Typically a professional crew, often somewhere in the region of eight to twelve, but the right number depends on the yacht, its flag, its use, private or charter, and the owner's service expectations. Minimum safe manning is set by the flag state.

How much does a 40–50m yacht cost to own?

Running costs depend on crew, berth, fuel, insurance, maintenance, class and management. We prepare a cost outline for a specific yacht rather than quoting a generic percentage of its value.

Is Lund Group affiliated with the builders mentioned?

No. Lund Group is independent and represents buyers. We are not affiliated with or authorised by any shipyard.
