If you are planning to buy a yacht in the USA , 2yachts can offer you a wide variety of proposals for the sale of pleasure boats. Visitors to our website can filter offers by cost, type of yacht, region of sale and other criteria.
Buying a yacht in the USA
When choosing and processing documents for the purchase / sale of a ship, we advise you to trust our yacht broker, because a specialist, unlike the owner, will not embellish the existing condition of the yacht or hide flaws - the reputation in this matter is more important than the instant benefit.
It should be noted that in the United States, yacht prices are the lowest in the world, and recently they have dropped even more due to the economic downturn. If you are an avid fisherman, a seasoned traveler or a lover of new experiences, buying a yacht in the USA will be your best option to make your dreams come true. A specialist of our company will provide you with the latest and most profitable offers for the sale of yachts, and, if necessary, hold tenders with the seller to get the maximum discount on price. Our yacht brokers will take care of the selection of a vessel that perfectly meets your requirements and identifies even hidden flaws, as well as the preparation of related documents.
There shouldn’t be any problems with choosing yachts for sale in the USA , however, when buying, you need to pay attention to such a distance as the key ports - if the vessel is large enough, its delivery can be very difficult or even technically impossible. Our company has a large database of both new and used yachts - you can buy a ship in San Diego or Miami on the Florida coast so that for many years you can use it for organizing water vacations without any problems.
2yachts employs experienced specialists, and upon your request, the yacht broker will send detailed photos of the vessel or provide a link to the photos taken by a professional photographer, as well as arrange a survey and arrange payment for the purchase of the vessel in a way convenient for you and much more. We organize professional pre-sale inspection and inspection of yachts, assess their technical condition and draw conclusions about the advisability of buying - you can fully rely on us to buy or sell yachts in the USA .
It is known that in the USA, yachts that are considered to be one of the best in the world have been and are being manufactured - the use of modern materials and technologies allows us to produce high-strength hulls that can withstand the most difficult operating conditions. And if you touch on the topic of comfort and equipment, then you will definitely not find offers better than American yachts. And this is taking into account the fact that the cost of yachts in the USA is much more profitable than in European countries or in other regions of the world.
US Yacht Choice
When choosing proposals for the purchase of pleasure boats in the United States, not only their relatively low cost, but also a large selection of design solutions, finishing options and additional equipment bribes. If you are an ardent fan of diving or fishing, you will surely pick out a vessel for your liking in the US yacht market, but if you are primarily attracted to comfort and luxury, you will come across an impressive selection of beautifully decorated and equipped cruisers, if you prefer a relaxing family vacation, then also finding a suitable vessel will not be a problem. Buying and selling yachts in the United States is a well-established business, and you can choose a yacht for purchase in the United States and be completely sure that the vessel will be serviceable and that its purchase is legal.
A large number of yachting enthusiasts and yacht owners are concentrated in the USA, and Americans are in the habit much more often than, for example, Europeans, of updating the fleet of pleasure boats, therefore there are so many offers to sell used ships in this country. It is very simple to buy a yacht in one of the US ports by contacting the yacht brokers of our company - we can offer a guarantee for serviceability, insurance of all risks and support at all stages of the acquisition of ships.
A large number of proposals for the sale of yachts in Miami - the largest metropolis and port in the south-east of the country, having a favorable position on the Atlantic coast. Before buying, you need to determine the type of vessel (sailing, motor yacht, mega-yacht, cruiser, etc.) and your own requirements for its technical capabilities. You also need to decide for what purposes you will use the vessel - in personal or commercial (organization of yacht rental), the design features and other aspects will depend on this.
You can try to buy a yacht from a private person (bypassing the broker), but then the low cost of the yacht can be offset by additional difficulties. Please note that buying a yacht is already accompanied by significant difficulties requiring knowledge of the specifics of the legislation of the state where the vessel is supposed to be purchased.
When choosing a yacht for sale , make sure that it meets your needs as much as possible and somewhere exceeds your expectations. Buying a yacht is a big deal, and it is not often done. If you do not like something in the ship, be sure to inform the yacht broker so that he can fix it. We wish you an unforgettable aesthetic pleasure from buying a yacht!

The largest yachts owned by tech billionaires, from Mark Zuckerberg to Jeff Bezos
- Megayachts have become a status symbol for the richest of the rich.
- In recent years, Jeff Bezos and Mark Zuckerberg have splurged on enormous boats.
- These are the biggest yachts owned by tech billionaires.
The average Joe celebrating a personal renaissance after, say, the end of a long-term relationship or when approaching a fresh decade might commemorate it with an ankle tattoo or a sports car. But if you're a billionaire, you may instead spend hundreds of millions on a yacht .
A few years after he and his wife divorced, Jeff Bezos shelled out on a megayacht. Last year, Bezos debuted the 127-meter vessel "Koru," a Māori symbol that signifies a fresh start — perhaps referring to that with his fiancée Lauren Sanchez.
Earlier this year, just before his 40th birthday, Mark Zuckerberg became the rumored owner of a yacht originally built for a Russian oligarch.
Superyachts have increasingly become ultrawealthy status symbols , providing highly secluded leisure and networking sites. They are — even more so than real estate — the single most expensive asset you can own.
"It's a bit of a celebration of your success in life, of wealth," Giovanna Vitelli, the chair of the Azimut Benetti Group, the world's biggest producer of superyachts, told Business Insider.
While many tech billionaires have bought yachts, the richest of the rich, like Bezos, Zuckerberg, and Oracle cofounder Larry Ellison, have gone bigger. Their boats are virtual palaces at sea, decked with amenities like gyms, spas, pools, nightclubs, and movie theaters.
A look at these megayachts — broadly defined as over 70 meters long, mostly custom-built, and often costing nine figures — offers a glimpse into how the .00001% lives. It's something few others will ever get to experience. Even chartering a yacht of this size for a week typically costs upwards of $1 million.
One major thing that hundreds of millions of dollars can buy is privacy. There are likely yachts that have not been publicly recorded or registered — for example, Evan Spiegel is rumored to own the 94-meter megayacht Bliss. In an industry ruled by discretion , deciphering who owns what is typically an exercise in stringing together many clues.
Here are the largest yachts owned by tech billionaires, listed in order of length.
Jeff Bezos: Koru and Abeona
Amazon founder Bezos' $500 million megayacht, the 127-meter Koru, made a splash last year as she crisscrossed the Mediterranean in her first summer at sea, with her 75-meter support vessel Abeona in tow.
The sailing yacht, which is hard to miss thanks to her massive size and unique design, was host to Bezos and his fiancée Lauren Sanchez's famous friends . The couple held an engagement party on board, which reportedly drew guests including Bill Gates, Ari Emanuel, and Leonardo DiCaprio. Just a week later, they were seen on the streets of Dubrovnik, Croatia, with Orlando Bloom, Katy Perry, and Usher.
Even before her completion, Koru made headlines. She drew the ire of some Dutch people, who vowed to hurl eggs after she was announced a historic bridge in Rotterdam might be taken apart to allow the Oceanco boat through. Luckily, the shipyard made alternative plans, and an egg crisis was averted.
Among yacht world insiders , Koru is widely praised for her craftsmanship.
"I heard back in 2018 or something that somebody had ordered a classic sailing yacht," one superyacht expert told BI. "You order 125 meters, that's not really going to be classic. But it is. I think it's pretty cool."
Mark Zuckerberg: Launchpad
Earlier this year, the yacht world was rife with rumors that Zuckerberg purchased Launchpad, a 118-meter superyacht originally designed for a sanctioned Russian businessman.
The ship made her maiden voyage in March, going from Gibraltar to St. Maarten and mooring in Fort Lauderdale, Florida.
Little is known about her interior, but photos show a large swimming pool and helipad. Her price, too, has been kept under wraps but is said to be nine figures.
Eric Schmidt: Whisper
Former Google CEO Eric Schmidt made waves last year when he agreed to buy the Alfa Nero , the yacht of a sanctioned Russian oligarch, for $67 million in an auction conducted by Antigua and Barbuda. But he backed out of the deal following legal issues over her true owner. He quietly purchased Kismet instead. The 95-meter-long Lürssen-built boat was formerly owned by the Jacksonville Jaguar's billionaire owner Shahid Khan . Schmidt renamed her Whisper.
The ship can fit 12 guests and a crew of 28, according to Moran Yacht & Ship, which oversaw her construction. She features a master deck with a private jacuzzi, full-service spa, lap pool, movie theater, and outdoor fireplace.
While her final sale price was not public, she was listed for 149 million euros (about $161 million at current exchange rates), and at a charity auction in January, one week aboard the ship went for $2.4 million, according to industry outlet Yacht Charter Fleet.
Barry Diller: Eos
Barry Diller , the chairman of digital media company IAC, co-owns the megayacht Eos with his wife, fashion designer Diane von Furstenberg , who is immortalized by a figurehead sculpture by Anh Duong.
One of the largest private sailing yachts in the world, the three-masted Lürssen schooner measures 93 meters long. She took three years to be built before being delivered to Diller in 2009, and since then, little has come to light about her interior and features.
The power couple has hosted many celebrities on the Eos, which spends her summers crisscrossing the Mediterranean and New Year ' s Eve in St. Barts . Over the years, guests have included Oprah Winfrey, Emma Thompson, Anderson Cooper, and Bezos, leading some to believe she provided inspiration for his Koru.
Jim Clark: Athena
Netscape founder Jim Clark purchased the 90-meter sailing yacht Athena in 2004.
"I could easily have built a 50- or 60-meter motor yacht that would have had the same space as Athena, but I was never really interested in building a motor yacht," he told Boat International in 2016. "To my eye, she's one of the most gorgeous large sailing yachts, maybe the most gorgeous large sailing yacht in the world."
Athena has room for 10 guests and 21 crewmembers, and the only change Clark says he'd make in her design is adding more space for his kids.
"If I was forced to change something, I would convert the office on the lower deck into a children's room," he said.
The former Stanford professor tried to sell her at various points — listing her for $95 million in 2012 , $69 million in 2016, and $59 million in 2017 — but she has yet to change hands.
Larry Ellison: Musashi
Oracle founder Larry Ellison has owned several superyachts over the years, including the Katana, the Ronin, and the Rising Sun — which he sold to fellow billionaire David Geffen .
He purchased his current boat, Musashi, in 2011 for a reported $160 million from custom-yacht giant Feadship.
Named after a famous samurai warrior, the 88-meter-long yacht has both Japanese and Art Deco-inspired design elements. She also boasts amenities including an elevator, swimming pool, beauty salon, gym, and basketball court.
Ellison is known for his extravagant spending — private islands, jets, a tennis tournament — and yachting is among his favorite and most expensive hobbies. He took up racing them in the 1990s and financed the America's Cup-winning BMW Oracle Racing team .
Laurene Powell Jobs: Venus
Steve Jobs' wife, investor and philanthropist Laurene Powell Jobs, inherited a nearly finished 78-meter yacht named Venus when the Apple cofounder died in 2011.
After spending years vacationing on Ellison's yachts, Jobs wanted one for himself. He designed Venus with French starchitect and decorator Philippe Starck , and she was worth $130 million at completion.
"Venus comes from the philosophy of minimum," Starck said of her design. "The elegance of the minimum, approaching dematerialization."
Jobs and Starck began working together in 2007, the designer told Vanity Fair , and held monthly meetings over four years. Venus was delivered in 2012 to Jobs' specification: six identical cabins, a design to ensure spaces of absolute silence, and the most up-to-date technology.
"There will never again be a boat of that quality again. Because never again will two madmen come together to accomplish such a task," Starck told the magazine. "It was not a yacht that Steve and I were constructing, we were embarked on a philosophical action, implemented according to a quasi-religious process. We formed a single brain with four lobes."
Charles Simonyi: Norn
Early Microsoft employee Charles Simonyi has purchased two megayachts from the German shipyard Lürssen: the 90-meter Norn and 71-meter Skat.
Delivered in 2023, Norn is full of luxe features, including an outdoor cinema and a pool floor that lifts to become a light-up dancefloor. She shares a militaristic style with Skat , which Simonyi sold in 2021.
Skats's name is derived from the Danish word for treasure, and she had a listing price of 56.5 million euros and was launched in 2002.
"The yacht is to be home away from my home in Seattle, and its style should match the style of the house, adapted for the practicalities of the sea," Simonyi once said .
Sergey Brin: Dragonfly
Google cofounder Sergey Brin has built a flotilla of yachts, boats, and toys known as the "Fly Fleet."
Named after a once-secret Google product , the largest of Brin's armada is the sleek Dragonfly , which boasts a movie theater and a helipad. The 73-meter-long vessel was built by the Australian shipyard Silver Yachts and can fit up to 18 guests and 16 crew members, according to SuperYacht Times.
Also in his fleet is the superyacht Butterfly, a mere 38 meters long. Often moored in the Bay Area, her crewmembers spend their downtime kitesurfing and giving swimming lessons to local kids.
The rest of his marine lineup includes a smaller boat called Firefly, as well as Jet Skis, foilboards, dinghies, and kiteboards. She takes a team of 50 full-time employees to manage, steer, and maintain the entire operation.
Sindhu Sundar contributed to an earlier version of this story.
Correction: May 6, 2024 — An earlier version of this story misstated Giovanna Vitelli's title. She is the chair of the Azimut Benetti Group, not a vice president.

US inflation eased last month in the first slowdown of 2024
Led by lower food and auto prices, inflation in the United States cooled slightly last month after three elevated readings, likely offering a tentative sigh of relief for officials at the Federal Reserve as well as President Joe Biden’s re-election team
WASHINGTON -- Led by lower food and auto prices, inflation in the United States cooled slightly last month after three elevated readings, likely offering a tentative sigh of relief for officials at the Federal Reserve as well as President Joe Biden ’s re-election team.
Consumer prices rose 0.3% from March to April, the Labor Department said Wednesday, down slightly from 0.4% the previous month. Measured year-over-year, inflation ticked down from 3.5% to 3.4%. And a gauge of underlying inflation, which excludes volatile food and energy costs, reached its lowest level in three years.
Inflation had been unexpectedly high in the first three months of this year after having steadily dropped in the second half of 2023. The elevated readings had dimmed hopes that the worst bout of inflation in four decades was being tamed and raised concerns that prices could spike again.
Whether inflation continues its decline could have a significant effect on the presidential race. Republican critics of Biden have sought to pin the blame for high prices on the president and to use it to try to derail his re-election bid. Though hiring remains robust and wage growth, on average, healthy, consumer prices remain generally well above their pre-pandemic levels.
Wednesday’s report provides a dose of reassurance that the pace of price increases may be resuming its slowdown. While the latest figures show inflation still well above the Fed's 2% target, it's the first time this year that the year-over-year figure has declined. And price increases cooled in some service industries, such as hotels, health care and auto repairs, that had previously kept inflation elevated.
The report “was a tiny step in the right direction,” said Danielle Hale, chief economist at Realtor.com. “The fight against inflation is not yet over, but the worsening trend observed in the first quarter of 2024 may have ended.”
Fed Chair Jerome Powell had responded to the high inflation readings earlier this year by dropping his previous suggestions that interest rate cuts were likely in 2024. Instead, he stressed that the Fed’s policymakers need “greater confidence” that inflation is falling to their 2% target before they would reduce borrowing rates from high levels.
Some economists suggest that if inflation — and the overall economy — continue to cool, the Fed could still cut rates twice this year, which would reduce costs for mortgages, auto loans and credit cards, among other forms of borrowing.
A separate report on retail sales, also released Wednesday, showed that Americans' spending at stores and restaurants was unchanged in April after a healthy gain in March. A more restrained consumer could reassure the Fed that inflation will keep cooling.
Wednesday's inflation data “keeps alive the prospect of the Fed cutting rates in September,” said Kathy Bostjancic, chief economist at Nationwide Financial. "The weak retail sales data also lends support to that.”
Wall Street traders appeared to agree, sending stock prices higher and bond yields lower in morning trading. The broad S & P 500 stock index rose roughly 0.5% to an intraday record high. The yield on the 10-year Treasury note declined, a sign that traders expect lower interest rates in the future. Mortgage rates, which tend to track the 10-year yield, may also move lower.
Among individual items in April, grocery prices slipped, providing a break to shoppers. Egg prices, which have been volatile after a bout of avian flu, fell 7.3%. New and used car prices also dropped. By contrast, prices for gas and clothing both jumped.
Excluding volatile food and energy costs, so-called core prices rose 0.3% from March to April after three straight months of 0.4% increases. Measured with a year earlier, core prices increased 3.6% in April, down from 3.8% in March. The Fed closely tracks core prices, which tend to provide a better read of where inflation is headed.
For consumers and businesses, a sustained period of lower inflation would provide some much-welcome stability.
Pat Overson, co-owner of Overson Roofing in Mesa, Arizona, is among those who have already experienced a period of milder inflation. His costs for lumber, labor and asphalt shingles, after shooting higher from 2020 through 2022, have stabilized in the past year or so.
While he now charges $12,000 to $15,000 for a typical roof replacement that had cost $10,000 to $12,000 in 2020, he said that price range has been roughly stable since 2022.
“Inflation has leveled out for us," he said.
Lumber had soared by as much as 75% during the pandemic, he said, as mills closed down. Since then, the price has fallen sharply, though it has leveled off at a higher price than before the pandemic. Labor costs, Overson added, have also stabilized.
Consumers are still buying new roofs, though Overson sees signs that they are growing more cautious. Customers are seeking out more bids for each project, Overson said, and in some cases are replacing only part of a roof instead of all of it. More of his customers are also financing repair costs.
In a statement Wednesday, Biden acknowledged that “prices are still too high.” But he said his policies will reduce prescription drug prices and encourage home construction to help ease housing costs. He also called on food store chains to lower grocery prices for consumers.
Donald Trump, the presumptive Republican presidential nominee, meanwhile, charged in a radio interview Wednesday that “it’s a lot of inflation when added to the inflation that we’ve suffered that’s been so bad."
In a trend that has been frustrating for the inflation fighters at the Fed, apartment rental prices remained stubbornly high in April, climbing 0.4% from March. Average apartment rents are 5.4% higher than they were a year earlier. Rental and other housing costs accounted for two-thirds of the year-over-year increase in core prices.
Rents soared during the pandemic as more Americans chose to live alone or sought more living space. Though rents for new leases are rising much more slowly, consistent with pre-pandemic patterns, the earlier increases are still elevating the government’s price data.
Powell, in remarks in Amsterdam on Tuesday, called rents “a bit of a puzzle” because measures of new apartment leases show new rents barely increasing. Such weaker data has apparently yet to flow into the government’s measures, which cover all rents, including for tenants who renew their leases and are facing bigger increases. Powell said the government’s measures should eventually show rent growth easing.
With 11 rate hikes from March 2022 to July 2023, the Fed’s policymakers raised their key rate to a two-decade high of 5.3% in an effort to quell rising prices, which peaked at 9.1% in June 2022.

6.5 hour day, 6 people, and at least two carry on suitcases. I feel like it's a lot of money, but also would rather have the security of a private boat and somewhere to keep our stuff while we explore.
Alternative is to cut out Yelapa, but it'll be the only day we can fit it in. We won't be doing the waterfall, just want to grab dinner.

That is exactly the price it should be. $50/hour, so I doubt you'd do better..
I agree with post #1. We’ve done lots of private boat tours / day trips and that’s the going rate these days. You’ll have a great time and it will be something you will remember. Plus, don’t forget to tip.
I see it’s for 6 people and that’s even better. You can split that price! Unless of course the “6” is just your family. Still you’ll have so much fun!
Yep 6 is me, my husband, and our four kids (one who is 20, so it's not as much work as it sounds haha) :)
Thank you for making me feel better about this expense. I think it'll be a great day!! Money well spent.
Like everything else the cost has gone up to $55/hr so 6.5 hrs the price is right on.
My only warning is watch the age of your captain or better yet ask to see their license. There are alot of young boys being used as captains that don't have a captains license.
Two accidents have happened recently involving young, non licensed captains.
The license process is long and expensive and if they don't pass the physical they have to wait a year to re-apply. If they have cavities, color blindness, need glasses, are over weight it is an automatic fail. To top it off they have to do a fasting blood sugar and the licensing exam is administered at a clinic in Tepic. Sometimes it is so crowded they don't get seen until 3 or 4 in the afternoon, fasting since midnight the night before. For these reasons boat owners don't pay for the captains license, especially on the young guys they hire to run their boat, most of which don't stay, so the owner has paid for a license and now has no captain to run his boat.
Katnsocal that is all very interesting about the Captain's license. :) Having a cavity, that was definitely a new one for me. I get it though, just didn't realize the license was that thorough.
Thanks for this info! I will ask the captain if the boat driver is licensed.
By law the license has to be in the captains possession and the boat registration/inspection has to be on the boat. The Navy can and does stop the boats asking for their paperwork.
Please heed katnsocal's advice. ( there have been so many boating issues never mentioned or only mentioned on mx news, caution)
We have used and highly recommend Alberto.

Orcas sink boat with two passengers on board in Strait of Gibraltar
Orcas attacked and sank a boat in the Strait of Gibraltar, prompting Spanish officials to issue a warning to sailors in case they ever encounter one of the giant sea mammals.
On Sunday, orcas sank a 10-meter-long boat with two passengers on board. The passengers, who were able to notify authorities in time, were rescued after receiving help from a nearby oil tanker and Moroccan authorities, states Salvamento Marítimo , Spain’s maritime rescue service, in a press release.
The boat sank near Cape Spartel, a promontory in Morocco near the entrance of the Strait of Gibraltar, a channel that connects the Mediterranean Sea to the Atlantic Ocean between Spain and Africa.
The country's Ministry of Transport and Sustainable Mobility prepared a list of things to do in case boats or yachts meet a pack of killer whales at the wrong place and at the wrong time.
'It's coming right for us': Video shows golfers scramble as tornado bears down in Missouri
How to handle an orca encounter
According to the agency , people who encounter orcas while on a vessel should do the following:
- Don't go near the side of the boat. Move to a space in the middle of the vessel where they're protected from sudden movements.
- If the whales try interacting with the boat, don't stop the boat or turn off the motor. Move towards the coast or shallower waters.
- Report the event to officials, even if the boat doesn't take damage.
Why are whales attacking marine vessels?
For the past four years, hundreds of incidents have occurred between orcas and boats or yachts.
And interactions still remain a mystery, Alfredo López, a University of Santiago biologist, previously told USA TODAY.
However, the whales' reasoning for the attacks could be as innocent as playful curiosity or as nefarious as targeting the vessels they perceive as competition for food.
