Selling a motor yacht isn't like selling a runabout. The buyer pool is small. The surveys are expensive. And every month your yacht sits unsold, you're bleeding money on dock fees, insurance, and maintenance.
If you own a Hatteras, Viking, Horizon, Ocean Alexander, or similar motor yacht valued between $50K and $8MM, you've got options beyond the traditional listing route. Let's walk through the biggest headaches—and how to avoid them.
Motor yachts attract serious buyers, but there aren't many of them. Your vessel might sit on the market for six months, a year, or longer. During that time, you're still paying for:
Every showing requires coordination. Every survey costs money. And if a deal falls through after the marine survey, you're back to square one.
Yacht buyers rightfully want thorough inspections. But here's the reality: a full marine survey on a 50-foot motor yacht can cost $2,000 or more. Sea trials add another layer of complexity and expense.
If the buyer walks away after the survey, you've spent the time and money for nothing. And if they come back with a list of repairs, you're either negotiating down your price or paying for work you didn't plan on.
