Not enough data to rank

These 35 brands clear the publication floor but not the High-confidence bar, and 30 of them draw more than half of their model years from a single listing — years that move a fit the most — so an order between them would be noise. Same columns, no place number.

Methodology and safeguards

The calculation starts with current, publicly visible yachts explicitly offered for sale in any currency, converted to EUR at the day's exchange rate, with a known model year, hull length and asking price. Brand spelling variants are consolidated before analysis, while generic vessel types such as “Custom” and “Gulet” are excluded. Implausible observations below €250 or above €250,000 per foot are excluded, as are asking prices below €10,000.

For each model year we take the median asking price per foot. We then estimate the slope of log price-per-foot against yacht age using the Theil–Sen method — the median of all pairwise slopes — and convert it into geometric annual retention and decline percentages. A brand needs at least 12 listings, 4 distinct model years and an 8-year span. Trends above 25% a year are treated as implausible sample artefacts and suppressed.

Confidence is labelled High from 40 listings, 10 model years and a 15-year span; Medium from 20 listings, 6 years and a 10-year span; all other displayed rows still meet the base threshold and are labelled Qualified. The price-per-metre view divides €/ft by 0.3048, so it changes displayed prices but not percentages or rank. Only brands with High confidence take a rank, ordered from the highest estimated annual retained value to the lowest; brands that meet the evidence threshold without reaching High confidence are listed below the ranking without a place number.

Read the inclusion rules

Statistics use current public for-sale listings in every currency, converted to EUR at the day's exchange rate, with a converted asking price above €10,000 and a known hull length. Observations outside €250–€250,000 per foot are treated as likely unit or price-entry errors. A category or age band needs at least 8 eligible listings before it is published.

In this snapshot, no category groups or age bands are withheld — every published segment clears the sample floor.

Frequently asked questions

How is each brand’s annual value retention estimated?

For each brand, GetBoat calculates the median asking price per foot for every observed model year — every currency converted to EUR at the day's rate — then applies a robust Theil–Sen trend to the logarithm of those yearly medians. The slope is converted to a comparable geometric annual retention rate.

Why do the €/ft and €/m rankings have the same order?

A metre is a fixed 3.28084 feet, so changing the display unit scales every price by the same factor. The annual percentage and ranking do not change.

Does this ranking track the same yachts as they are resold?

No. It is a cross-sectional view of current asking prices grouped by yacht model year, not a history of closed transactions or repeat sales of the same hull. Model mix, condition, refits and equipment can all affect a brand’s result.

Does stronger value retention mean a brand is higher quality?

No. The ranking describes asking-price patterns in the current GetBoat sample. A survey, condition assessment and hull-specific valuation are still required for a purchase decision.
