Market intelligence
What buyers in this segment should know.
The 15-24 metre segment is where the European brokerage market turns from compact cruising into private yachting. Hulls here typically carry three to five cabins, run with one or two crew, and have the range and standing headroom to live aboard for months at a time. The segment is dominated by Italian flybridge motor yachts (Ferretti, Azimut, Pershing, Sunseeker), Beneteau and Jeanneau sailing yachts, and the larger Lagoon and Bali catamarans. Owners in this bracket often combine private use with one or two charter weeks per season.
Operating economics: Typical transactions €300,000–€1,500,000. Crew structure: one captain, one stew-cook common. Survey costs €3,000–€5,000. Annual running costs 10-15% of purchase price.
