The short answer
- Start with boats of similar size. Across 30 brands the median ask runs from €854 to €84,891 per foot — a 99-fold spread — but the eleven brands whose median listing sits in the 36–44 ft band all cluster between €2,661 and €5,314 per foot. Compare boats of similar length before comparing badges.
- Asking prices vary widely by build era. Inside a single brand the spread is larger than between mainstream brands: Sunseeker listings built 2020 or later ask €48,047 per foot against €2,064 for pre-2000 hulls of the same badge.
- Where the listings come from changes the number. Including syndicated listings raises this catalogue’s median from €2,934 to €3,378 per foot, a 15% increase. The difference shows how the mix of listing sources affects the benchmark; for individual brands it reaches 35%.
The answer in one view
These are sellers’ asking prices, not completed sale prices. The table covers the 30 brands with the most eligible listings in GetBoat’s euro-priced sales catalogue on 8 September 2026. Syndicated listings are excluded; the “With length” column shows the sample used for each €/ft figure.
The table is sorted by asking price per foot, and that ordering tracks size closely: the cheapest per foot are production boats of 21–32 ft, the most expensive are 100–118 ft custom yachts. Beneteau, Jeanneau, Bavaria and Dufour sit within 30% of each other on this measure, although their listed boats differ in age, model and specification.

Prices, lengths and €/ft figures are medians. The listing columns show sample sizes: “Listings (clean)” is the sample each price rests on, and the last column shows how many listings of that brand were syndicated from a third-party marketplace and therefore excluded.
How asking prices vary by build era
For several brands, recent and older boats have very different asking prices per foot. The table groups current listings by build era, with sample sizes in brackets; cells with fewer than five listings are not reported.
Read this as “what the market asks today for a hull of that vintage”, not as a depreciation curve. Two different things are mixed in every row: the age of the boat and the model mix a builder sold in that period. Azimut asking €32,613 per foot for 2020+ hulls against €8,968 for 2000–09 is not one boat losing 72% of its value in fifteen years — the recent group also contains larger, more heavily specified models. To read depreciation you have to compare the same model and length across years, which is a listing-by-listing job, not a benchmark.
What the table does support is a budgeting rule. A mainstream 2000s hull asks roughly a quarter to a third of what the same badge asks for a 2020s hull — 28% at Bavaria, 25% at Beneteau, 23% at Jeanneau, 32% at Sea Ray, 27% at Regal. That consistency across five very different builders is the useful part. If a listing differs sharply from its group’s median, check the model, size, condition, equipment and service history before drawing conclusions about the price.

Median euros per foot by build era, sample size in brackets. Cells resting on fewer than five listings are not published.
How to use these numbers on a real listing
The tables above are a screening instrument, not a valuation. Four steps turn them into a decision.
- Convert to euros per foot. Divide the asking price by length overall in feet. Price per foot gives you a common reference, but model, size, age and specification still matter.
- Find the brand row and the era column. Use that median as a starting point, then compare listings for the same model, similar length and build year. These tables do not establish a typical price range.
- Check the sample before you trust the cell. Cells here carry between 5 and 127 listings. Treat small samples cautiously — and larger samples can still contain very different models and specifications.
- Then look past the price. What decides value is survey, engine hours, berth, documentation and VAT status — most of which require digging deeper than the headline asking price.
How syndicated listings change the benchmark
GetBoat’s catalogue includes syndicated listings. The comparison below shows how the medians change when those listings are included or excluded. Including them raises the market-wide median from €2,934 to €3,378 per foot, a 15% increase.
In this catalogue, excluding syndicated listings changes the medians substantially for several premium brands.
Syndicated listings account for a large share of the Sunseeker and Princess samples: on the length-bearing pool used for €/ft, 158 of 273 for Sunseeker and 111 of 205 for Princess. Excluding them changes which boats those medians describe. Benetti moves the other way — excluding syndicated listings raises its median, because what was syndicated there was the cheaper, older end of the range.
The practical rule for reading any price benchmark, this one included: ask how many listings the number rests on, and where those listings came from. If neither is stated, the number cannot be checked.
| Brand | Including syndicated listings | Excluding syndicated listings | Syndicated | €/ft before | €/ft after | Shift |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Sunseeker | 273 | 115 | 158 | €15,854 | €10,240 | −35.4% |
| Fairline | 114 | 61 | 53 | €7,365 | €4,840 | −34.3% |
| Benetti | 66 | 38 | 28 | €64,018 | €84,891 | +32.6% |
| Galeon | 73 | 53 | 20 | €11,938 | €9,733 | −18.5% |
| Prestige | 46 | 40 | 6 | €13,982 | €11,613 | −16.9% |
| Ferretti | 86 | 80 | 6 | €13,370 | €11,695 | −12.5% |
| Azimut | 219 | 182 | 37 | €21,882 | €19,375 | −11.5% |
| Beneteau | 207 | 181 | 26 | €3,343 | €3,015 | −9.8% |
| Princess | 205 | 94 | 111 | €12,741 | €11,838 | −7.1% |
| Jeanneau | 260 | 248 | 12 | €3,207 | €3,107 | −3.1% |
Listing counts in this table include only records with a usable length, because €/ft cannot be computed without one. They are therefore smaller than the counts in the first table, which cover every euro-priced listing of the brand.
Method and limits
Source. GetBoat’s own sale catalogue, read directly from the production database on 8 September 2026: 205,818 boats, of which 14,257 carry both a brand and a euro asking price above €1,000. Listings syndicated from third-party marketplaces (1,224) are excluded from every figure except the comparison table above, which exists to show what including them does.
Length. Lengths are recorded in feet; records outside 15–200 ft are excluded because a small number are stored in metres. Per-foot medians use the 10,368 clean listings with a usable length.
Currency. Euro-denominated listings only. Mixing currencies at today’s rate would put exchange-rate noise into a price benchmark.
What we do not publish. Individual boats, sellers or transactions; seasonality derived from listing dates; and any cell resting on fewer than five listings.
What these medians mix. The catalogue does not separate VAT-paid from VAT-unpaid listings, monohulls from multihulls, or boats lying in one region from another, so all of them sit inside the same medians. Era columns cover the whole catalogue: nothing is trimmed at the new or the vintage end.
Corrections. To report a possible error, contact us with the brand, the figure and the relevant listing details. The underlying query is fixed and re-runnable.
Decision checklist
- 1Check whether the same boat appears elsewhere, and confirm the current asking price and availability with the seller.
- 2Compare the same model and similar build years, then check differences in condition, equipment and service history.
- 3Confirm VAT status and registration, and check whether any advertised berth is included and transferable.
- 4Get the inventory in writing: what stays with the boat and what the seller intends to remove, including tender, electronics, sails and canvas.
- 5Check ownership and whether any finance or lien is outstanding against the hull before money changes hands.
- 6Before making an offer, clarify the arrangements for a survey and sea trial, including costs and how the findings would affect the purchase.
What buyers ask next
Why does Dehler have the lowest median asking price per foot?
Because its clean sample has a median build year of 1992 — the oldest of the thirty brands. The table is a snapshot of what is currently listed, not a ranking of builders.
How much below the asking price should I offer?
These medians cannot tell you. They compare asking prices with each other, and the gap between ask and sale is not in the data: sale prices are private in most European brokerage, and the gap varies by broker, by season and by how long a listing has been standing. Any single percentage quoted as a rule of thumb is not derived from figures like these.
What should I budget beyond the asking price?
The asking price is not the amount you part with. Survey and sea trial, delivery or transport, registration, berth for the first season, insurance and any immediate work the survey finds all sit outside it. VAT is the largest single item and is not separated in these medians — a VAT-paid and a VAT-unpaid boat can carry the same asking price and cost very differently.
What if the same boat appears in several listings at different prices?
It happens when a listing is syndicated across marketplaces, and the copies are not always updated together. Treat the seller’s own current listing as the reference, confirm the price and availability directly, and check the build year, length and hull identification match before assuming it is the same boat.
