If you would like to discuss your goals, we would like to know more and find that special large yacht which meets your requirements – at no obligation!

Megayachts for sale are often built to completely custom standards for the wealthiest yacht owners. Very often these savvy yacht owners have owned production yachts and thus know what they want in a yacht. This is the ULTIMATE form of personalized expression in the luxury market. These lucky folks pursue the ULTIMATE lifestyle of YACHTING!

Mega Yachts for Sale Styles

The most popular form of mega yachts (or superyachts) are Tri-deck yachts. Understandably, tri deck yachts feature three levels or more of deck space! The main deck commonly features a large and covered aft deck for dining, a spacious salon with formal dining forward then an on-deck master stateroom , which typically offers you plenty of viewing windows.

Going up a deck we find an enclosed sky lounge (typically behind the main helm or steering station), and then a deck further is usually a sundeck with open-air amenities for you to enjoy plenty of entertaining and guest space.

These yachts are the most popular yachts for large families and chartering because of their huge volume. Most of the larger ones even offer an elevator between decks and a pool. Therefore, Tri deck yachts start at around 90’ and go up from there to the largest mega-yachts in the world!

Some smaller tri deck yachts (90’-130’) are designed to go fast (25 knots or so). As they grow larger (and heavier), tri deck yachts gain the ability to cross oceans and thus at slower speeds for better range and fuel economy since there is no where you can fill up in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean.

Since having a happy crew is essential, so usually a third of the boat is for crew quarters and either incorporated at the back (aft) or forward (fore) area of the lower deck with privacy access, so that the owner/guests and crew enjoy private space.

RAISED PILOTHOUSE & LARGE PILOTHOUSE YACHTS

Raised pilothouse yachts are typically designed with two deck levels.  In other words,  a main deck level, starting with a sizable aft deck settee for dining. Moving through sliding doors, you will find a large salon and dining area with an open galley ‘country kitchen’ (with casual seating) forward.

Owner and guest staterooms are on a lower level with 3 or 4 staterooms. The master stateroom (owner stateroom) is typically full-beam , as is the VIP stateroom (typically the most forward). In addition, smaller guest staterooms (usually twin berths) are usually found on either side of a hallway.

The top deck is the fly bridge area , which is spacious and open. In addition, it often features a hardtop (fixed top for shade) and such amenities as a jacuzzi tub. A raised pilothouse is usually found on the same level as the fly bridge area, whereas a pilothouse yacht features an enclosed steering station on the main deck level. Raised pilothouse yachts (such as the Westport 112′) and pilothouse yachts (also known as a flush deck pilothouse yacht) are immensely popular in the US and Mediterranean areas due to their versatility and popular layout. These yachts often can achieve speeds of 25 knots plus and are usually not seen over 125’ (38m).

LARGE PERFORMANCE YACHTS, LARGE EXPRESS CRUISERS AND LARGE EXPRESS YACHTS ARE ALSO CONSIDERED MEGA YACHTS FOR SALE

This category of large yachts focuses on style, performance and enjoying fast daytrips. Large express yachts are typically very sleek and stylish; featuring a main deck devoted to both sun-worshipping and a casual joint salon area and helm. After that, Owner/guest accommodations are found below consisting of 3–4 staterooms plus a crew area (often found towards the back behind the engine room). Large express cruisers are popular on the US east coast and in the Mediterranean area. These yachts can be found up to 150’ (45m) with speeds up to 50 knots !

LARGE SAILING YACHTS

Large sailing yachts combine the luxury of fine living with the excitement and unlimited range enjoyed by the wind. Modern technology has allowed for exciting performance and effortless operation (by virtue of hydraulic winches and roller furling) with tremendous sail areas. Most large sailing yachts offer a deck salon forward of twin steering stations, along with an added salon and dining area below with luxurious living accommodations plus crew quarters. Also, large sailing yachts are limited by the draft of where they can travel.  For instance, some have keels which can be raised for shallow draft cruising. Most large sailing yachts are designed as a sloop (or cutter), ketch or schooner rigs .

EXPEDITION & LONG-RANGE YACHTS

Expedition yachts are a category of mega yachts for sale which refer to larger long-range yachts. These designs usually feature a commercial styled ‘look’. Also, a handful of commercial vessels have converted into yachts. In addition, some expedition yachts carry sport fishing boats for exciting fishing in remote areas. In either case, expedition yachts designed to travel our wonderful world in search of adventure and places which cannot be easily cruised. These often carry sizeable tenders (auxiliary boats) for adventuring.

LARGE SPORT FISHING YACHTS

Large sport fishing yachts and yacht fishers are a small category of large yachts designed for avid fishing enthusiasts. Most large sport fishers feature an enclosed fly bridge which doubles as a sky lounge. Features include large diesel engines for speeds of twenty knots plus and comfort which allows for four staterooms plus a crew area. Yacht fishers combine the amenities and features found on large motor yachts with a large cockpit area for fishing and water sports. Large sport fishing yachts and yacht fishers predominate the US east and west coasts. They are, however, extremely rare above 100’.

Expedition Yachts for Sale

For anyone looking for expedition yachts for sale, these are a quickly-growing market in the yachting world, as increasing numbers of yacht owners choose to get off the beaten track and indulge in some remote cruising! Here is the full current selection of all expedition yachts for sale worldwide with photos and full specifications for each.

Expedition yachts, often called explorer yachts, are extremely versatile. As much at home in the wilds of Alaska as sitting pretty in the glamorous port of Monaco, expedition yachts are built to cross the world’s oceans while offering the extraordinary comfort of a luxury yacht.

The explorer vessel featured above, LEGEND Expedition Yacht For Sale, is a 254-foot or 77m Icon Expedition yacht available for sale. She is the only ice breaking mega yacht in the world. The proven world cruiser features a panorama Jacuzzi on the main deck, large sales throughout, welcoming cocktail bars, Movie theaters, Exclusive Balinese Spa (pictured below) and a gym.

Expedition yachts for sale are also becoming increasingly common options for new-build construction projects, but there are also many existing expedition yachts that have been converted from commercial vessels. As such, often expedition yachts for sale have wonderful histories as research ships, hospital ships, ice-breakers, trawlers and military vessels, and are now enjoying their latest incarnation as impressive luxury yachts.

Often sporting a more functional exterior, the interior of explorer vessels are as palatial and luxurious as their traditional superyacht counterparts. Expedition-style yachts tend to have a wider beam, thereby offering more volume for larger cabins and interior spaces. The yacht’s generous interior spaces are designed for live-aboard comfort for extended periods, and many of these yachts will have living quarters or suites for the owners, rather than smaller cabins.

Outside you’ll find generous open decks with elegant dining and entertaining spaces, with all the luxuries you’d expect on a superyacht.  Jacuzzis, helipads and observation decks are common features found on expedition yachts for sale.

Expedition yachts are sometimes nicknamed ‘toy carriers’, as they have plenty of space to carry the tenders and water sports equipment you’ll want as you cruise exotic places. Explorer yachts for sale often carry crew who are trained as instructors, so you might learn diving, jetski, kitesurfing or even photography while cruising the South Pacific or the Galapagos.

Because they’re built as sturdy ocean-going vessels, expedition yachts are built with a strong focus on safety, self-sufficiency and comfort underway. Some expedition yachts have reinforced ice-breaker hulls for exciting Arctic expeditions, and all have modern stabilization technology and state-of-the-art safety systems. Expedition yachts are built with large fuel tanks giving them exceptional range, while onboard water-makers and excellent cold and dry storage allows them to make long sea voyages without needing to stop for supplies. Because they are built to be away from port for long periods, expedition yachts normally carry the best in communication, entertainment and Wi-Fi capabilities.

THE BIG BLUE Expedition Yacht For Sale – for full specifications and photos, click on the link.

Expedition yachts allow the yacht owner to get to all corners of the world, opening up beautiful destinations otherwise difficult to reach. From the snowy landscapes and penguins of Antarctica to the coral reefs and jungles of Micronesia, an expedition yacht opens up the world for exploration.

There are a multitude of options available for expedition vessels. Above are examples of existing brokerage vessels. Other options to consider include Full Custom Builds and Semi Custom Builds. A Fully Custom Expedition yacht build is a ground up design and specification package, which will include tank testing of hull forms, 3D modeling, etc. A Semi Custom Expedition Build includes an existing hull form and common engineering package, already being used and then customizing the house styling, layout and décor.

The 80m Explorer Yacht, unnamed, is an example of a Fully Custom Explorer Build. The vessel includes float in float out wet dock that will be able to hold a 65-70 foot sport fisherman in the stern, when the sport fish is removed the tender well becomes a deep swimming pool.  She is diesel electric with Azipod drives.   The vessel has the capability of landing two helicopters and can house both helicopters in a single hangar.  The vessel also has a large tender garage that could hold multiple smaller vessels including a RIB, flats boat, jets skis and two submarines.  The vessel has accommodations for 18 guests and crew of 36.  The vessel would be commercial fit and finish on the exterior and the interior are envisioned to be built to high end cruise ship standards.

The 75m Explorer, by Admiral Shipyards is an example of a Semi Custom Build. The yacht’s exterior design, which remains unnamed, is a display of an elegant yet robust platform with generous exterior deck spaces. The expansive aft deck is designed to accommodate an Agusta Grande helicopter, complete with a storage and refueling hangar below deck.

The interior is spread across four decks and will be finished in a timeless nautical style that is finished with contemporary elements, which will be built and installed by German interio specialists, Fitz Interior. The owner, who is expected to spend prolonged period onboard, will be treated to an exclusive main deck area covering over 300 square metres with five additional guest suites on the lower deck.

Explorer yachts look a little bit different and offer extraordinary cruising potential, marking an exciting difference in the luxury yacht market for those who love an adventure on the open ocean.

5 Most Affordable Sailboats

When searching for sailboats , “affordable” takes on many definitions. An affordable, world circumnavigating sailing cruiser can be in the millions of dollars while a dinghy racer can be had for a few thousand new. The best way to define affordable is to consider the value that is offered per dollar spent, and the specific function and target market for the boat.

Let’s look at some of the most affordable sailboats in their class.

Explore All Sailboat Brands & Models

1. Beneteau 30.1

An entry-level model and a perfectly capable pocket cruiser , the Beneteau 30.1 has much to offer for the daysailing and weekending crowd. The hull design is by Finot-Conq and the overall aesthetic follows the “.1” series that started with the Oceanis 51.1 in 2017. The foam core sandwich hull is svelte at the stem but runs wide aft with a hard chine just above the waterline. There are three choices of keel: a fixed shoal keel at 4’3”, a deep version at 6’2”, or a swing keel for easier beaching and trailering. Twin wheels are set on slim pedestals and there are integrated footholds to help keep the driver upright when heeling.

The standard (and only) interior layout includes a master stateroom in the V-berth and a guest cabin aft to port. Both cabins have doors for privacy. Beneteau managed to pack in the necessary amenities for coastal hopping and weekending so a couple can enjoy comfortable cruising on a compact and affordable platform. Expect to pay $175,000 for a well-equipped version.

Visit Beneteau to learn more.

2. Catalina 275 Sport

Something a bit more sporty and perfect for club racing, the Catalina 275 Sport offers GenXers an affordable landing place when they graduate from bare bones racers. The 275 will race mid-week but comfortably cruise on the weekends for around $75,000. The single-spreader rig rises 39 feet above the waterline and below, there’s a choice of keel (3’5” or 4’5”).

The emphasis is on the cockpit which dominates the exterior where a tiller does the steering. Below, this boat is loaded with smart details like a compact galley including a sink with manual water pump, a pull-out drawer that holds an Igloo cooler, and a one-burner butane stove. To port is an enclosed head with a Jabsco manual toilet and sink. Forward are two 6’5” berths that double as seats around a drop-down table and aft is a second berth long enough to store a stand-up paddleboard (SUP). A unique feature is zippered storage bags into which you can pack your clothing and necessities when at home and then slide them into tracks along the hull sides.

Visit Catalina Yachts to learn more.

3. Jeanneau Sun Odyssey 349

There’s a lot to love about the diminutive Jeanneau Sun Odyssey 349 that feels much bigger than its dimensions suggest. It makes a great entry level vessel for young families or a downsizing option for empty nesters wanting to do more with less. The Marc Lombard design has a sleek profile with a tapered hull that has a positive sheer for increased interior volume and a hard chine to add stability. Due to its beam of 11’ 3”, the 349 uses twin rudders to keep a grip on the water at all angles of heel.

The Selden fractional rig supports double aft-swept spreaders and a total sail area of 613 square feet with a classic mainsail and a 106 percent genoa. The large, manual drop-down transom provides bonus exterior living space on the swim platform while two or three cabins and a single head (with a stall shower) wrap up the accommodations below. The 21 HP Yanmar diesel engine makes easy work of motoring at six knots and the boat is a kick under sail. This is a versatile design that comes in at $150,000.

Visit Jeanneau to learn more.

4. Leopard 42 Catamaran

For multi-hull sailing catamaran enthusiasts, the South African builder, Robertson & Caine, offers some sizable options. The price tag reflects the fact that a catamaran is, in some ways, two boats—with twin hulls, two engines and redundant systems. Leopard builds for a number of charter companies and the  Leopard 42 Catamaran , redesigned for 2021, is currently the baby of their fleet.

The steering station on the 42 is on the flybridge where guests love to hang out. Another favorite spot is the aft cockpit with a full outdoor dining area and easy access to the swim platforms on either side. Available with three or four cabins (all with island berths), the 42 offers en suite heads for all staterooms. Naval architects, Simonis & Voogd created a model that feels bigger than its 42 feet and since you can test her out for a week in charter, you can decide if this is the cat for you before committing to the half million dollar price tag.

Visit Leopard Catamarans to learn more.

5. Walker Bay 10 with Sail Kit

Walker Bay is a renowned builder of rigid dinghies , often used as tenders by motor yachts and power cruisers . However, these small boats, made of rotomolded plastic, are durable and can be rowed, motored or sailed with a conversion sail kit. The Walker Bay 10 sail kit combines a high-aspect battened mainsail with an aluminum daggerboard and retractable rudder to optimize speed and minimize leeway when sailing upwind. This versatile design can be rigged quickly, so it can be stored, sailed and transported.

The dinghy itself is $900 with the sail kit adding another $1,000. Kids learning to sail will love this boat as will cruisers who add an outboard for commuting or row to get exercise. The best part is that the Walker Bay 10 is light on needed maintenance and virtually indestructible so it will bring years of fun both sailing and otherwise.

There are dozens of boats like inflatable beach cats with racing rigs and daysailing trimarans that are priced significantly below the models above but as stated in the beginning, affordability is a moving target when searching for the perfect sailboat.
