Recent Developments in Yacht Pricing Structures
I’ve observed notable fluctuations in the pricing of both new builds and brokerage yachts over the last few years, particularly in the 40-80 foot segment. Given increased demand, supply chain disruptions, material cost escalation, and evolving onboard technology, can members share recent experiences or data regarding current cost benchmarks for production versus semi-custom yachts in this size range?
Additionally, how are ancillary costs (e.g., commissioning, transport, customization, and post-sale upgrades) being factored into total cost of ownership calculations? Any insights into regional variations or forecasts for pricing stability through 2025 would be valuable for those planning an acquisition or refit.
