What the budget buys
Size, age and builder at under €5M
At this price, the main trade-off is between size, age and build type. A newer series yacht and an older, larger custom yacht can share a similar asking price but very different ownership profiles.
- Newer yachts: usually smaller, often series or semi-custom, with warranty history and simpler systems
- Older yachts: can be considerably larger, often steel displacement builds, with refit history that decides value
- Builder and generation affect resale and how easily a yacht compares with sisterships
- Purchase price is only part of the cost — size drives crew, berth and maintenance
- Asking prices are not transaction prices; condition and documents decide the final figure
Refit history
Older yachts with recent refits
A refit year on a listing tells you that work was done, not what was done. Two yachts both "refitted 2024" can differ widely in the scope and quality of the work.
- Ask for the refit specification and invoices, not just the year
- Distinguish cosmetic interior work from engines, generators, electrical and plumbing
- Check who carried out the work and whether class was involved
- Review engine hours and overhaul records separately
- Confirm what remains original and its likely replacement timeline
- Commission an independent survey and sea trial before completion

Flybridge
Rare at this size; most yachts are full tri-deck or larger.
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 — builder programmes exist around under €5M, 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

Crew and circulation
A professionally crewed yacht
Most yachts at this budget above roughly 24m are 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 — common 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 yacht under €5M charter?
Many yachts under €5M 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 yacht under €5M
- 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 for larger yachts are scarce and costly
- 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.
Market intelligence
Pricing under €5 million
There are not yet enough published listings in this size to show reliable price statistics. We do not publish a generic “average yacht price under €5M” — value depends on builder, model, generation, GT, engines, hours, refit history and condition. Ask us for comparables on a specific yacht. Yacht market intelligence →
Private sourcing
Off-market yachts under €5M
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.
Brief us privately →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 →

yachts under €5M: frequently asked questions
Are there yachts for sale under €5 million with Lund Group right now?
The count on this page is live and shows only verified, published listings asking under €5,000,000. When few or none match your brief, we can search the wider market privately, including yachts that are not publicly listed.
Is a yacht asking exactly €5 million included?
No. This page shows yachts asking under €5,000,000. A yacht asking exactly €5M appears on the €5M–€10M page. Listings in other currencies are shown on their own price pages rather than converted.
What size of yacht can be bought for under €5 million?
It depends on age, builder, build type and condition. Newer yachts in this budget tend to be smaller; older steel displacement yachts can be considerably larger. A larger, older yacht usually carries higher running and refit costs, so the purchase price is only part of the decision.
Is an older yacht with a recent refit a good purchase?
It can be. A refit date alone tells you little. What matters is the scope of work, who carried it out, what systems were replaced, and the documents that support it. We review refit specifications and invoices before any offer.
How much does a yacht under €5 million cost to run?
Running costs depend on size, crew, berth, fuel, insurance, maintenance, class and management, and they do not scale with purchase price. An older, larger yacht can cost more to run each year than a newer, smaller one. We prepare a cost outline for a specific yacht.
Is VAT included in the asking price?
Not necessarily. VAT status depends on the yacht's history, ownership and use. Asking prices are shown as listed; VAT position is confirmed in writing before any offer. This is not tax advice.
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.
