14 Great Pocket Cruisers in 2023

By Victor Tan
Updated: July 20, 2023

Pocket cruisers and mini yachts are generally vessels under 50 feet in length overall, and can include express cruiser designs, flybridge yachts as well as either monohull or catamaran hull forms. They are cruising boats easily handled by a small, or even shorthanded, crew. Pocket cruisers generally have wave-taming hull designs and have the ability to take on sporty seas, offer comfortable accommodations belowdecks with one or two staterooms for extended voyages, “homelike amenities,” and the ability to cruise as slowly or as quickly as an owner desires with inboard- and outboard-power options. These pocket-cruising boats have the range for longer voyages , can pull up in skinny water at the sandbar thanks to shallow drafts, and head over the horizon where cruising adventure awaits. Pocket cruisers are true multitasking yachts. When it comes to family and couples cruising, it’s hard to beat a well-built and well-equipped and pocket cruiser.

Best Cruising Boats Under 50-Feet

The following 14 pocket cruisers and mini yachts are all vessels we’ve seen, been aboard, and tested. They are listed in no particular order.

Hood 35 LM: high-tech, family-friendly pocket cruiser
Galeon Yachts 375 GTO: mid-size boat with plenty of below-deck space
Aquila 42: sleek power catamaran ready to entertain
Azimut Verve 42 : small, yet mighty yacht ready for open water
Hinckley Yachts 35: luxury picnic cruiser with range
Beneteau Gran Turismo 45: sleek cruising yacht with all the amenities
Solaris Power 48 Open: eye-catching power yacht with 360-degree views
Cruisers Yachts 42 GLS: luxury cruiser yacht with powerful outboard options
Back Cove 34O: modern outboard power combined with classic Downeast styling
Picnic Boat 40: speedy and fuel-efficient vessel with great looks
Aquila 36: comfortably seat up to 20 guests for fun on the salt
Boston Whaler 350 Realm: multitasker built for fishing and entertaining
MJM 35z: sporty, aesthetically pleasing, cruising-conscious features and elegant lines
Greenline 39: sturdy-looking lines and environmentally-friendly power

When Android co-founder, Rich Miner, wanted a new family-friendly pocket cruiser , he turned to a custom-penned C.W. Hood design and a Lyman-Morse-built 35-footer, which has a timeless Down East profile matched to seriously modern technology under the hood.

This yacht looks like a traditional, cold-molded Down East dayboat, but actually, it has everything, from Hamilton HJX Series water-jet drives to a planned Sea Machines autonomous command-and-control system . Top speed: 40-plus knots.

Quick Specifications

Galeon yachts 375 gto.

Even the remnants of Hurricane Ian, couldn’t dissuade the Galeon Yacht 375 GTO from its cruising mission. The small yacht’s wave-splitting hull form is paired to torque-filled 600 hp Mercury Verado outboards , giving this fun-in-the-sun boat a 47-knot top hop.

The 375 GTO is a speedster, to be sure, but it’s also so much more. Just about every aspect of the main deck seating is transformable and multifunction, from the aft seating to the alfresco dining abaft the helm, and beyond. It also has a family-size and eminently cruise-worthy belowdecks space for four guests, all while providing a foredeck entertaining lounge too.

The Galeon Yachts 375 GTO ticks all the boxes for an easy-to-handle and sporty cruiser.

Aquila 42 Yacht Power Catamaran

Following the success of its 44-, 54- and 70-foot power catamaran models, Aquila has launched the stable-as-a-table, owner-operator-ready Aquila 42 Yacht Power Catamaran .

The Aquila 42 is the entry point into the builder’s yacht line and is noteworthy for its ability to accommodate anywhere from a two- to four-stateroom layout, depending on the owner’s cruising requirements. There are alfresco spaces to manage the sunset cruise with friends and family, including a foredeck lounge area that can be accessed via centerline steps from the flybridge. The Aquila 42 is available with several Volvo Penta diesel-engine options .

Azimut Verve 42

Want to cruise from Florida to Bimini in about an hour? The Azimut Yachts Verve 42 can do that thanks, in part, to triple 450 hp Mercury Racing outboards and a hull designed to dice-and-slice a seaway. Top hop: 45 knots. The Verve 42 also has style for miles with a fine entry, raked hardtop, and a razorlike sheerline accented by sweeping hull glass from bow to stern. It’s striking.

With accommodation for a family of four, the Verve 42 is also solid under the hull tokeep everyone safe on those passages. The Verve 42’s hull is built of fiberglass and uses vinylester resins for blister protection. The yacht’s deck and hardtop are comprised of carbon fiber for strength without added weight. This all means that the Azimut Verve 42 is built to CE Classification Type A , making it suitable for sea voyages where winds can exceed 45 mph and seas to 13 feet.

Hinckley Yachts 35

The Hinckley Yachts 35 takes everything that yachtsmen like about this pedigreed-brand’s classic profile and infuses today’s modern outboard power to create 40 knots of sheer fun wrapped in sheer luxury.

This 35-foot Hinckley is built on a Michael-Peters-penned hull form with a fine entry, wider-than-average chines and a moderate deadrise. While the boat is built to sprint when desired, it’s also a relatively economical cruiser. For instance, a comfortable 24-knot cruise the Hinckley Yachts 35 has a 276-nautical-mile range.

It also has a tech-build thanks to vacuum-infused carbon-fiber composites and epoxy resin. An integrated interior structure is infused with the hull adding rigidity. The hull is then post-cured in an 80-foot oven, further strengthening the structure.

Beneteau Gran Turismo 45

The Beneteau Gran Turismo is the flagship of the builder’s four-model GT series, which also includes 32-, 36- and 41-foot models.

The Gran Turismo 45 ’s cruise-centric layout includes two staterooms and two heads belowdecks, as well as a galley down. There is also a dinette for meals and a settee for rainy-day lounging. Entertaining guests and enjoying the sun is the primary mission of the main deck.

Solaris Power 48 Open

The Solaris Power 48 Open was the first powerboat from this longtime builder known for its sailing yachts, ranging from 40 to 110 feet length overall. The Solaris Power 48 Open is notable for its wave-slicing plumb-bow design, high freeboard forward and 32-knot-plus speed. Power is twin 480 hp Volvo Penta IPS650 diesels.

The high freeboard keeps the deck dry and help creates sizable volume belowdecks with an average 6-foot-6-inch headroom. This enables real estate for either one or two staterooms. With the single-stateroom setup, there is a forepeak master stateroom while an L-shaped settee converts to sleeping accommodations for family or occasional guests. Interior wood options are oak or walnut.

Cruisers Yachts 42 GLS

Outboard-power cruising aficionados will appreciate the triple-engine options for the Cruisers Yachts 42 GLS . The 42 GLS we got aboard had the triple 400 hp Mercury Verados , which produced a top hop of 45 knots, but triple 450 hp Verados are available. Triple 350 hp Mercury Verados are the standard engine option. No matter the power arrangement, this express cruiser can easily be used for wakeboarding and tube towing. The 42 GLS is designed to handle the rough stuff too, with a fine entry and 21-degree transom deadrise.

For cruising enthusiasts, the 42 GLS has a master stateroom with an athwartships and a nearly queen-size berth, and the lower salon’s U-shaped dinette converts to a queen-size berth for the kids.

Back Cove 34O

Combining modern outboard power with classic Downeast styling, the Back Cove 34O touts award-winning standards with cruising in mind. The 34O is equipped with twin 300 hp Yamaha outboards, engines that allow the Newport International Boat Show’s 2018 Best Powerboat Under 35 Feet winner to travel up to 214 nautical miles at 24 knots on a 250-gallon fuel tank.

Belowdecks, the 34O has an island double berth and a split-head arrangement with the toilet to port and a separate shower stall to starboard. On the main deck, a U-shape dinette to port accommodates four or more guests on the Back Cove Yachts vessel. The 34O’s galley is equipped with a Cuisinart microwave, a two-burner Kenyon electric cooktop and a Vitrifrigo fridge and freezer.

Picnic Boat 40

Hinckley Yachts unveiled its first Picnic Boat more than two decades ago. Now, after two previous, sub-40-foot models, the Maine-based boatbuilder has developed its largest and most advanced model to date: the Picnic Boat 40.

Twin 480 hp Cummins diesel engines paired to twin Hamilton 322 jet drives propel the yacht to a 30-knot cruising speed and 34 knots on the pins. With optional twin 550 hp Cummins diesels, cruise and top-end speeds jump to 35 and 38 knots, respectively.

There is an L-shaped settee with a table and a wet bar on the main deck to port. The helm station is forward and to starboard with a benchseat for two. There is also a companion seat across from the helm. Belowdecks, there is 6-foot-2-inch headroom, and the dinette table drops to form a California-king berth for overnights and weekending.

Aquila Power Catamarans started its line with 44- and 48-footers, and now the builder’s Aquila 36 takes the line into the midsize market.

The 36 features a single, main-living area from bow to stern, helped in part by the vessel’s 14-foot, 7-inch beam. The boat can comfortably seat up to 20 guests for fun on the salt. Several Mercury Verado engine options are available for the Aquila 36, including twin 250-, 300- and 350-hp four-strokes. With the 350s, the Aquila has a top-end speed of 37 knots.

Other notable features include a fiberglass hardtop, a dinette, a cooktop, a fridge, a sink and a smokeless grill. Belowdecks, there are two staterooms with nearly queen-size berths, en suite heads and 6-foot-6-inch headroom in each.

Boston Whaler 350 Realm

From fishing and entertaining guests to diving and overnight cruising, Boston Whaler ‘s 350 Realm is a multitasker. And it’s fast, too. It’s powered with either triple 300 hp or triple 350 hp Mercury Verados. The 350 Realm can reach a top speed of 46 knots.

At the helm, two Raymarine displays provide vital navigation data. The captain can take in the displays’ view from a doublewide helm seat. There’s a flip-down platform for standing when needed and a footrest when desired.

There is a V-shaped berth that converts into a double berth with a filler cushion. The separated head has a VacuFlush MSD and a hot-and-cold shower. Owners also have the option to add a microwave and a flat-screen TV.

The MJM 35z can reach a top speed of 44 knots and a cruising speed of 33 knots on its optional 350 hp Mercury Verado outboards; twin 300 hp outboards are standard on this MJM Yachts vessel. Additionally, the 35z can travel up to 304 nautical miles on its 250-gallon fuel tank.

The 35z has a flush-deck layout and to port is space for an electric grill, a baitwell, a sink, an ice maker and a fridge. There are two Stidd helm seats—one for the helmsman and the other for a copilot—that rotate to face the rest of the seating aft. In the cabin is V-shaped seating forward that can be converted to a berth.

Owners also have the option of adding a Seakeeper 3 gyrostabilizer and a full-length Bimini top to shade the cockpit.

Greenline 39

Greenline Yachts ‘ vessels are aptly named for their environmentally friendly means of moving about; the Greenline 39 is no different. The Slovenian yacht manufacturer produces two types of this model: hybrid and solar.

If owners opt for the latter, the 39’s four solar panels atop the salon power all of the vessel’s systems for three hours. With the power of the sun, the 39 can achieve a max speed of 6.5 knots and a cruising speed of 4 knots. The hybrid type uses those same panels to help power a 220 hp Volvo Penta D3 with a Mahle electric-drive system. Owners have the option of replacing the standard engine with a 370 hp Yanmar 8LV diesel.

Belowdecks, scissor berths provide accommodations for long weekends.

The best small cruising yachts in 2023

Theo Stocker
September 29, 2023

Despite bigger yachts dominating the new boat scene in recent decades, there are still any number of builders making new smaller cruisers. Here's our pick of the best small cruising yachts in 2023

We have seen a surprisingly large number of builders going against the grain to bring small cruising yachts to market in the last year or so, ranging from trailer0-sailers to smaller traditionally-styled options. Here, we’ve rounded up 4 of the best small cruising yachts launched in the last year.

Typically this size of yacht appeals to those who are looking for a day sailer or weekender and will often offer reduced draught in able to allow you to go creek crawling or nose your way into otherwise hard to get to anchorages.

The best small cruising yachts 2023

Once you’ve seen one, Bente yachts are unmistakable. We revisited the brand’s first boat, the Bente 24 , a couple of issues ago, which has been around for 10 years or so. The brand then launched the striking Bente 39 which was immensely innovative, but the company ran into financial difficulties. Now under new owners and a more stable footing, a third model has been launched, which I can’t wait to test sail. The Bente 28 is unlike any other 28-footer.

The hull is cutting edge with wide transom, double rudders and full bows providing a powerful hull form as well as volume below. Construction is polyester GRP foam sandwich, with the basic version being heavier hand lamination, and the more expensive Edition version being vacuum infused. While this is a boat designed to be fast, it’s a long way from a wild racing boat.

Displacement is a not outlandish 3.2 tonnes and draught is 1.6m (there’s an option for a 1.95m performance T-keel with lead bulb that’s 100kg lighter), so it fits well within the scope of a sensible cruising boat.

The Tide 25, built by MFH in north Germany – began its life as a Dehler SQ25, but the mould was sold off when that company hit hard times. Plumb bows and stern with a long hull chine, bevelled deck edge and twin rudders put her on trend, and maximise performance under sail and accommodation on board.

On deck, she has a large cockpit with benches forward and four decent lockers. Under the cockpit sole there’s access to what would be engine space for a diesel inboard, now housing batteries for the electric motors.

Opt for the sport version, and you’ll get beefed up deck hardware and a minimalist fit out, with the mainsheet traveller across the transom, while the comfort version has a smaller main with the mainsheet coming to a fixed point on the cockpit sole forward of the helm. The rig has aft-swept spreaders and no backstay.

The fact that the accommodation of the Pointer 30 is designed around a Nespresso machine, enshrined in glory, tells you a lot about this boat. It was conceived as a comfortable, fast and stylish weekend cruiser that you can take your friends down to for a coffee before a nice sail to somewhere for lunch. This is a boat that knows what it is about. Tea drinkers, don’t worry; there’s still a gas hob to boil a kettle.

The sail area isn’t vast, but this looks to be an easily driven hull. A below-deck furler setting a genoa that sheets to tracks on the coachroof is standard, with a self-tacker being optional.

The fixed bowsprit houses a bow roller, and a tack point for furling offwind sails – the gennaker takes her offwind sail area up to 100m2, set from an aluminium twin-spreader rig with adjustable backstay. She has a powerful kicker, but no traveller for the main, which is sheeted to a raised plinth in the cockpit sole.

Below deck the layout is simple, clean and quietly stylish. Headroom is restricted, dictated by the low freeboard and elegant lines.

To port, the heart of the boat is the ‘coffee bar’ on a shelf in the moulded hull liner, next to a small dinette-style table with two leather swivel armchairs. The forward of these chairs spins round to face a neat lift-top desk (though the drawer below isn’t large enough for a chart).

Swallow Yachts 32

Aimed at sailors who may have owned larger yachts before but want to downsize, Swallow Yachts owner Matt Newland explained that he ‘wanted to build a boat that was fun and easy to sail, simple to maintain and had timeless looks with as low an environmental impact as possible.’

Though not a true launch-and-sail trailer sailer, a four-by-four will still be able to tow the 32 on her own trailer, as boat and trailer come in at under 3.5 tonnes, and within the 2.9m overhang limit.

With a keel-down draught of 2.8m, a fine entry at the bow and broad aft sections, this boat promises to be a good performer. You can sail with the lifting keel in any position for shoal waters, but lift it all the way and you’ve got a draught of just 40cm for creek crawling and drying out.

Newland has tried to draw lines that are timeless rather than trendy while a retractable bowsprit, backstayless carbon rig and square-top mainsail ensure she is right up there in terms of her contemporary design and latest tech.

Brand new mini yachts usually start at around $500,000, while used mini yachts can range from $100,000 and up. However, keep in mind that these prices are averages, and the actual cost will depend on your specific preferences and desired features.

When purchasing a mini yacht , it’s important to consider your budget and what amenities and features you prioritize. Balancing your budget with your desired features will help you find the perfect mini yacht that fits your needs and preferences.

What is a Mini Yacht?

A mini yacht, also known as a pocket yacht, is a motor yacht that is typically under 50 feet in length. Despite their smaller size, mini yachts still offer a range of exceptional features and amenities for guests to enjoy. They are designed to provide the luxurious experience of a larger yacht but with the convenience and ease of operation of a smaller vessel. Mini yachts can be used for day trips or as liveaboard vessels, and they often do not require a captain or crew to operate.

Mini yachts are equipped with a variety of impressive features and amenities that enhance the overall experience for those on board. Some common features of mini yachts include:

Spacious cabins: Despite their smaller size, mini yachts often have well-designed cabins that offer comfortable sleeping quarters for guests.
Sun decks and lounging areas: Many mini yachts feature sun decks and lounging areas where guests can relax and soak up the sun.
Galley and dining areas: Mini yachts usually have well-equipped galleys and dining areas where guests can enjoy delicious meals prepared on board.
Bathrooms with showers: Mini yachts typically have bathrooms with showers, providing guests with the comfort and convenience of home.
Entertainment systems: Mini yachts often come equipped with entertainment systems, including TVs, sound systems, and Wi-Fi, to keep guests entertained during their voyage.
Water toys: Many mini yachts offer water toys such as paddleboards, kayaks, and snorkeling gear, allowing guests to explore the surrounding waters.

These are just a few examples of the features and amenities you can expect to find on a mini yacht. Each yacht may vary in terms of its offerings, so it’s important to research and choose a mini yacht that aligns with your preferences and needs.

Factors Affecting Mini Yacht Prices

When it comes to the price of a mini yacht, several factors come into play. These factors can significantly influence the cost of a mini yacht and contribute to the price range within this category of boats. It’s important to understand these factors to make an informed decision when purchasing a mini yacht .

1. Age of the Vessel: The age of a mini yacht is a significant factor affecting its price. Brand new mini yachts from reputable builders tend to have higher price tags due to their advanced features and state-of-the-art technology. On the other hand, used mini yachts may come at a lower cost, providing an opportunity to own a quality vessel without breaking the bank.

2. Builder and Reputation: The reputation and craftsmanship of the yacht builder can also impact the price of a mini yacht. Established and well-known builders often command higher prices for their yachts due to their commitment to excellence, innovative designs, and use of premium materials. However, lesser-known builders may offer equally exceptional mini yachts at more competitive price points.

3. Amenities and Features: The amenities and features available on a mini yacht can greatly influence its price. Yachts equipped with luxurious amenities such as spacious cabins, state-of-the-art entertainment systems, gourmet kitchens, and lavish outdoor spaces typically come at a higher cost. However, there are options available for those seeking a more modestly priced mini yacht without compromising on comfort.

4. Size and Capacity: The size and capacity of a mini yacht can also impact its price. Larger mini yachts with more spacious interiors and higher passenger capacities generally have higher price tags. However, it’s important to consider your specific needs and preferences when determining the ideal size of a mini yacht for your lifestyle.

5. Depreciation: Depreciation is an essential factor to consider when evaluating the price of a mini yacht. Like any other asset, mini yachts may experience depreciation over time, which can impact their resale value. Understanding the depreciation rate of different mini yachts and their brands can help you gauge their long-term value and potential return on investment.

By considering these factors, potential buyers can gain insight into the range of prices for mini yachts and make informed decisions that align with their budget and preferences.

Budgeting for a Mini Yacht

When it comes to purchasing a mini yacht, the cost goes beyond the initial price tag. Before diving into the world of mini yacht ownership , it’s crucial to consider the budget and the ongoing expenses associated with it. By taking these factors into account, you can ensure a smooth sailing experience without breaking the bank.

Mini Yacht Budget Considerations

When creating a budget for your mini yacht, it’s important to account for various costs that come with ownership. Some key considerations include:

Fuel: Depending on how often and where you plan to sail, fuel expenses can add up. Researching fuel efficiency and estimating usage based on your intended activities is essential.
Maintenance: Like any other vessel, mini yachts require regular maintenance to keep them in optimal condition. This may include routine inspections, mechanical repairs, and cosmetic updates, contributing to the overall cost of ownership.
Insurance: Protecting your investment is vital. Obtain insurance coverage that includes liability, property damage, and theft protection to ensure peace of mind while enjoying your mini yacht.
Docking Fees: If you plan to keep your mini yacht at a marina, consider monthly or annual docking fees. Prices can vary depending on the location and amenities offered by the marina.
Repairs: Unexpected repairs can occur at any time. Setting aside a contingency fund for unforeseen repairs can help mitigate financial stress in such circumstances.

Affordable Mini Yachts

While mini yachts may be associated with luxury, there are affordable options available that still offer a remarkable boating experience. By researching and comparing prices from different sellers, you can find mini yachts that suit your budget without compromising quality or comfort.

Mini Yacht Financing Options

If purchasing a mini yacht outright isn’t feasible, there are financing options available to make your dream a reality. Some common financing solutions for mini yachts include:

Marine Financing: Many lenders specialize in marine financing and offer competitive rates and terms tailored to boat purchases. Explore options to find a financing plan that suits your financial situation.
Manufacturer Financing: Some mini yacht manufacturers offer their own financing programs, providing convenient and flexible options for buyers.
Personal Loans: Depending on your creditworthiness and financial profile, you may qualify for a personal loan to fund your mini yacht purchase.

Remember to thoroughly review the terms and conditions of any financing option, including interest rates, repayment schedules, and additional fees, to ensure you make an informed decision.

By carefully considering your budget, researching affordable mini yacht options, and exploring financing possibilities, you can navigate the world of mini yacht ownership confidently.

Cost of Buying & Owning a Small Yacht (Detailed Breakdown)

While some people may prioritize a slower, more eco-friendly, and more hands-on experience that they get from a sailing yacht, others may prefer a faster, more luxurious, but less hands-on experience from operating a motor yacht. However, the tiebreaker comes down to the costs of owning and maintaining them. With that, let's explore how much you'll need to buy and own either a small sailing yacht or a motor yacht, and see which one is more affordable.

A new 30-foot sailing yacht can cost anywhere from $50,000 to $200,000, while a used one in good condition can range from $20,000 to $100,000. On the other hand, a new 30-foot motor yacht can cost between $100,000 and $500,000, while a used one can range from $50,000 to $300,000.

The ongoing costs of owning a yacht include maintenance and repair costs, fuel costs, insurance, docking fees, and more. Let's take a closer look at each of these costs and how they can impact your budget.

The initial purchase price and ongoing costs of owning a motor yacht are higher than those of a sailing yacht.
A sailing yacht relies mostly on wind power, while motor yachts require more complex mechanical systems and need more fuel.
Purchasing older yachts may require more maintenance and repairs.
Additional initial expenses when purchasing a used yacht include hiring a surveyor, buying bottom paint, looking for upgrades, and purchasing safety equipment.
Insurance costs for motor yachts are higher due to their faster speeds and increased risk of accidents.

Cost of Buying And Owning A Small Yacht

1. the average cost of owning a new 30-foot sailing yacht.

On average, a small brand-new sailing yacht can cost anywhere from $50,000 to $200,000 or more. This price range typically includes basic features like a cabin, galley, and bathroom, as well as a mast, sails, and rigging. However, the price may not include additional amenities like a generator, air conditioning, or advanced navigation systems.

In addition to the initial purchase price, there are also ongoing costs associated with owning a sailing yacht, such as mooring fees, maintenance and repairs, insurance, and fuel costs. These expenses can add up quickly, and you may need to factor them into your budget when considering buying a sailing yacht.

One advantage of owning a sailing yacht is that it can be less expensive to operate than a power yacht, as it relies on wind power rather than fuel. However, sailing yachts also require more maintenance and upkeep, particularly for the rigging and sails .

Initial expenses for a new 30-foot sailing yacht

Recurring expenses for a new 30-foot sailing yacht, 2. the average cost of owning a used 30-foot sailing yacht.

In general, you can expect to pay anywhere from $20,000 to $100,000 for a used 30-foot sailing yacht. This cost will typically include the purchase price of the boat itself, as well as any necessary upgrades or repairs that may be required.

Once you have purchased the boat, there are a number of ongoing costs associated with owning and maintaining it. These can include mooring or slip fees, insurance, registration and licensing fees, and regular maintenance and repairs.

Although used sailing yachts can be much more affordable than new ones, they may require more maintenance and repairs which can be costly and time-consuming. There may be hidden issues or problems with a used boat that are not immediately apparent, which can lead to unexpected expenses down the line.

Recurring expenses for a used 30-foot sailing yacht, 3. the average cost of owning a new 30-foot motor yacht.

The cost of a new 30-foot motor yacht can range from around $100,000 to over $500,000, with some luxury models costing even more. Although operating a motor yacht requires less skill and experience than operating a sailing yacht, the initial purchase price and ongoing costs are higher than that of a sailing yacht.

This is because motor yachts require more complex mechanical systems, such as engines, generators, and other electrical and plumbing systems, which can be expensive to install and maintain. They also need more fuel than sailing yachts, which can result in higher ongoing costs for fuel and maintenance.

Initial expenses for a new 30-foot motor yacht

A used 30-foot motor yacht can cost anywhere from $50,000 to $300,000 or more. However, you'll need to note that older yachts may require more maintenance and repairs, which can add to the overall cost of ownership.

It can be difficult to know how these yachts were used and maintained by their previous owner, which can lead to unexpected issues and repairs. They may also have less fuel-efficient engines, which can lead to higher fuel costs over time.

Initial expenses in buying a small yacht

Boat purchase is not cheap.

The first cost you'll encounter when buying a yacht is the purchase price which can range from tens of thousands of dollars to millions of dollars. When setting a budget for your yacht purchase, try to consider not only the purchase price but also the ongoing costs of ownership.

You need to register your yacht

Before you can legally operate your small yacht, you need to register it with the relevant authorities. The registration process depends on your location and the size of your yacht. In Oregon, for example, all boats with motors must be titled and registered with the Oregon State Marine Board. The registration fee is based on the length of the vessel.

To register your yacht, you will need to provide proof of ownership, such as a bill of sale, and complete the necessary paperwork. You may also need to provide proof of insurance and pay any applicable taxes.

Factor in payment for taxes

Each state has its own tax laws, and some states may have additional taxes or fees that apply to yacht owners. In Florida, there is a 6% sales tax on boats, while in Texas, the sales tax is 6.25%. In addition to state taxes, some municipalities or counties may also charge a local sales tax.

Set aside payment for the title fee

The title fee is the cost of transferring the ownership of the yacht from the seller to the buyer. The title fee for a small yacht can range from a few hundred dollars to a few thousand dollars.

Budget for hiring a surveyor

A survey is particularly important when buying a used boat, as it can help uncover any hidden problems that may not be immediately apparent to the buyer. Used boats can have a range of issues, from minor cosmetic defects to serious structural damage, and a survey can help to identify these issues before the sale is completed.

During the survey, the marine surveyor will thoroughly inspect the boat's hull, deck, and superstructure, as well as its mechanical systems, electrical systems, and safety equipment. The surveyor will also test the boat's performance on the water, including its handling, speed, and maneuverability.

After the survey is complete, the surveyor will provide the buyer with a detailed report of their findings, including any defects or deficiencies that were identified. This report can be used by the buyer to negotiate the purchase price or to request that any necessary repairs be made before the sale is completed.

Used small yachts need upgrades and customizations

One of the joys of yacht ownership is the ability to customize your vessel to suit your needs and preferences. Some common upgrades and customizations include:

Deck hardware: Installing new hardware such as cleats, winches, and blocks can improve the functionality of your yacht, but can also be expensive.
Communications: Upgrading your communication systems, such as radios and satellite phones, can improve safety and convenience, but can also be costly.
Vinyls: Adding vinyl graphics to your yacht can be a fun way to personalize your vessel, but can also be expensive.
Anti-fouling paint: Applying anti-fouling paint to the bottom of your yacht can help prevent the growth of marine organisms, but can also be a recurring expense.

Consider the costs of buying safety equipment

Safety should always be a top priority when operating a yacht. Some essential safety equipment includes:

Life jackets: Having enough properly fitting life jackets for all passengers is essential for safety.
Fire extinguishers: Having properly functioning fire extinguishers on board can help prevent a disaster.
First aid kit: Having a well-stocked first aid kit on board can help in case of injury or illness.
Emergency signaling devices: Having emergency signaling devices such as flares or an EPIRB can help alert others in case of emergency.

For a more detailed list of the safety equipment you need for your newly purchased small yacht, here's an article you can refer to.

Recurring costs for owning a small yacht

In addition to the initial expenses, there are also ongoing costs associated with owning a yacht such as the following:

Avail an insurance policy for your yacht

Shop around for insurance agencies that specialize in yachts, as there are many clauses and catchphrases that are unfamiliar to the average insurance agent. Insurance companies that specialize in boats often provide surprising discounts for both your own skills and the equipment on your boat.

A specialized insurance policy is generally estimated at between 0.8% and 1.2% of the boat's purchase price per year. It should also cover these 10 basic things included in this article.

Sailing yachts may be more expensive to insure due to their increased risk of damage from weather and other environmental factors, while motor yachts may be more expensive due to their higher speeds and increased risk of accidents.

Keep in mind dockage and mooring fees

You can save money on docking fees by anchoring in free anchorages or finding marinas that offer discounts for long-term stays. Some marinas charge by the foot, while others charge a flat rate. You can try to research different marinas in your area to find the best deal.

In addition to the basic fee, some marinas charge extra for amenities such as electricity, water, and Wi-Fi. You may also want to consider the location of the marina since marinas in popular tourist destinations tend to be more expensive than those in less popular locations.

If you're in California, here are 7 places where you can dock your yacht at the cheapest price.

Consider costs for maintenance and repairs

Maintaining and repairing your small yacht is an important part of yacht ownership. Regular maintenance ensures that your yacht is safe to operate, and it can prevent costly repairs down the line.

Routine maintenance is the regular upkeep of your yacht, which includes things like cleaning, oil changes, and checking the engine and other systems. Consider following the manufacturer's guidelines for routine maintenance, as this will help prevent breakdowns and keep your yacht in good condition.

Now, even with regular maintenance, repairs may be necessary from time to time. Repairs can range from minor fixes like replacing a lightbulb to major repairs like fixing a damaged hull. Address repairs as soon as possible to prevent further damage.

Account for fuel costs

The type of yacht you own will determine the fuel you use. For example, a motor yacht will require more fuel than a sailing yacht. Fuel costs are usually calculated per gallon. You can use a yacht fuel cost calculator to estimate how much fuel you will need for your trip and the approximate cost.

You can save money on fuel costs by filling up at a marina that offers fuel at a lower price. You might also want to consider using fuel additives that can improve your yacht's fuel efficiency and reduce fuel consumption.

A New Generation of Mini-Explorer Yachts Is Bringing Style to World Adventures

The original explorer yachts were either barebones trawlers favored by retired sailors or square-hulled, aluminum vessels that resembled commercial fishing boats. Fifteen years ago, a few builders unveiled a new category, the mini-explorer, with smaller boats that were long on function but similarly short on looks. These just-launched versions, however, not only have ocean-running hulls but panache to spare in the form of artistic interiors, open sterns and fashionable profiles. It’s a whole new way to discover the world—this time, in style.

Azimut Magellano 25

With its dual-mode running surface, the new Magellano 25 can cover vast distances at a leisurely cruise or whip along at 25 knots. The 83-foot hull is a prime selling point, but the interior is the real breakthrough. Vincenzo De Cotiis, known for his award-winning residential design, incorporated fiberglass in a novel way, mixing it with a bronze powder and spreading it strategically across the interior to complement Verde Alpi marble, walnut, polished brass and two original pieces of his artwork. This very un-explorer-like interior also has four staterooms, contiguous banks of windows in the salon, an air-sanitizing system developed by NASA and crew quarters for three.

Numarine 32XP

A creative interior by Italian design firm Hot Lab is one of the prime differentiators between Numarine’s 32XP and its last-gen explorer series. The 105-footer has nearly 6,500 square feet of interior space, which Hot Lab used to great effect to create an open salon with oak floors, loose furniture and floor-to-ceiling windows. The master suite on the upper deck, VIP cabin on the main and four suites on the lower deck are also uncharacteristically elegant for an explorer. The aquamarine exterior and zigzag window patterns may be flamboyant, but the vertical bow and 4,000-mile transatlantic range mean the boat is built for serious business.

Ocean Alexander 27E

While only explorers of 150 feet or more have open transoms, at 89 feet the 27E has adopted that stern to hold a Jet Ski,a tender and gear. Though the yacht’s profile is different from the other explorers, its designers had the same familiar goal: maximize interior space while incorporating open layouts and expansive windows. With all four staterooms on the lower deck, the main deck has ample space for socializing, extending to gathering areas on the top deck and foredeck. The 2,100-nautical-mile range means the 27E can get from Miami to Barbados with ease, while the three-foot-nine-inch draft allows it to cruise in shallow waters like the Bahamas.

Exploring the World of Mini Yachts

The Rise in Popularity

Over the past few years, mini yachts have become increasingly popular among boating enthusiasts. These compact vessels offer a unique and thrilling experience on the water, combining the freedom of sailing with the convenience of a motorized boat. Mini yachts, also known as pocket cruisers, are typically under 30 feet in length, making them easily maneuverable and perfect for solo sailing or small groups.

Advantages of Mini Yachts

There are several advantages to choosing a mini yacht over a larger boat. One of the main benefits is the affordability. Mini yachts are generally more budget-friendly than their larger counterparts, both in terms of purchasing and maintenance costs. Additionally, these smaller vessels often have simpler systems and require less skill and experience to operate, making them accessible to novice sailors.

Another advantage is the versatility of mini yachts. Due to their compact size, they can access shallower waters and navigate tighter spaces, allowing for exploration of hidden coves, rivers, and other areas that are off-limits to larger boats. This opens up a whole new world of adventure and discovery for mini yacht owners.

Choosing the Right Mini Yacht

When it comes to selecting a mini yacht, there are a few factors to consider. One of the most important aspects is the boat’s design and layout. Look for a vessel that offers a comfortable and functional interior, with enough space for sleeping, eating, and storage. It’s also worth considering the boat’s sailing capabilities, such as its stability and performance in different weather conditions.

Additionally, think about the specific activities you plan to engage in while out on the water. If fishing is your main focus, look for a mini yacht with fishing amenities and equipment. If you enjoy water sports like kayaking or paddleboarding, consider a boat with a swim platform or storage for your gear.

The Mini Yacht Community

One of the great things about owning a mini yacht is becoming part of a vibrant and supportive community. Mini yacht enthusiasts often gather for rallies, races, and social events, where they can share their experiences and learn from one another. Joining a local yacht club or online forum can provide valuable resources and connections within this community.

Furthermore, mini yacht owners often form lasting friendships with fellow sailors who share their passion for adventure on the water. Whether it’s swapping stories at the marina or embarking on group sailing trips, the sense of camaraderie within the mini yacht community is truly special.

Exploring New Horizons

With a mini yacht, the world truly becomes your oyster. These compact vessels are perfect for exploring coastal areas, island hopping, and even undertaking longer voyages. Mini yacht owners can venture off the beaten path and discover secluded beaches, picturesque anchorages, and charming coastal towns that are often inaccessible to larger boats.

For those seeking a unique and unforgettable travel experience, mini yachts can provide the ultimate freedom and flexibility. Whether you’re cruising along the shores of the Caribbean, exploring the rugged coastline of Maine, or sailing through the crystal-clear waters of the Mediterranean, the possibilities are endless.

The Future of Mini Yachts

As more people discover the joys of mini yachting, the future of this niche boating sector looks bright. Advances in technology and design will continue to improve the functionality and performance of mini yachts, making them even more appealing to a wider audience.

Furthermore, the growing interest in eco-friendly and sustainable practices is likely to have an impact on mini yacht design. We can expect to see more energy-efficient models, alternative propulsion systems, and greater emphasis on environmentally responsible boating.

In conclusion, mini yachts offer a thrilling and accessible way to explore the beauty of the open waters. Their compact size, affordability, and versatility make them a popular choice among boating enthusiasts. Whether you’re a seasoned sailor or a novice looking to dip your toes into the world of boating, a mini yacht can provide endless opportunities for adventure and discovery.
