Yachts for Sale €50M–€100M

This range commonly covers yachts of roughly 40–55m. The deciding factors are build type, age, construction and documented condition rather than length alone.

• Steel hull and aluminium superstructure: typical of displacement yachts built for range and comfort
• All-aluminium: common on faster yachts; check welds, galvanic protection and fatigue
• Gross tonnage (GT) measures enclosed volume, not weight; many yachts here sit between roughly 300GT and 500GT, and some exceed it — the tonnage certificate is the only reliable source
• Around 500GT, crew certification and regulatory requirements typically become more demanding, depending on flag and use
• A newer series yacht and an older custom yacht can share an asking price but very different ownership profiles
• Asking prices are not transaction prices

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 — builder programmes exist around €50–100M, but many yachts here are full custom
• Full custom: designed for one owner; the majority of this band, from Northern European and Mediterranean yards 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

Every yacht in this range 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

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

At €50–100M, buyers usually compare yachts by gross tonnage and internal volume rather than length alone. Two 62m yachts can differ by several hundred GT, changing guest space, crew areas and running costs.

• Owner's deck: a dedicated private deck, or a main-deck master suite — confirm the layout from GA plans
• Guest capacity: private and charter figures can differ; sale pages show private capacity where stored
• Crew: typically 15–25+ at this size, with matching accommodation and rotation
• Passenger / commercial status: confirm current flag, code and certification in writing
• Pools, beach clubs and wellness: confirm what is installed, not what was proposed
• Helipads: touch-and-go versus certified landing; confirm certification and fuel
• Tenders and toys: confirm inventory, garage dimensions and launch systems
• Class and survey history, plus documented refit scope by year

• 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.

Many yachts at this size change hands privately, before or without a public listing. With a clear brief, we approach brokers and owners' representatives discreetly. We cannot promise off-market inventory; every opportunity is confirmed with its owner first.

We position your yacht against true comparables — same size band, build type, generation and volume — and present it discreetly to qualified buyers. Sell your yacht →
