These cross-sections explain what sits behind the headline index. A shift in category or age mix can move the aggregate even when like-for-like yachts do not change.

Methodology and limitations
Each daily observation uses the median—not the average—asking price per foot over current public sale listings in every currency, converted to EUR at the day's exchange rate. The first observation of the series is 100; subsequent points are expressed relative to it.
The series restarted with dataset version market-intelligence-v7, whose base date 2026-09-21 is the first snapshot after the sale sample widened from EUR-quoted listings to every currency converted at the day's rate. A base-100 series cannot splice two measures, so the earlier EUR-only observations are not carried over.
This is a catalog-composition benchmark. It does not observe completed sales, does not follow the same yacht through repeat transactions and does not claim that an individual hull changed value by the index movement. Use category, age and brand evidence to narrow the comparison before assessing a specific yacht.

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
What does the GB Yacht Asking-Price Index measure?
It tracks the median asking price per foot, converted to EUR at the day's exchange rate, across the eligible public GetBoat sale sample. The first observation of the current series on 2026-09-21 is set to 100; later observations show the percentage change relative to that same base.
How is each market snapshot calculated?
Current public for-sale listings in every currency are converted to EUR at the day's rate; those above €10,000 with a known hull length enter the sample. Price-per-foot outside €250–€250,000 is excluded as likely bad input, and a segment needs at least 8 listings before publication.
Is this a closed-sales index?
No. GetBoat observes asking prices, not confidential transaction prices. The gap between asking and settlement varies by yacht, market, geography, condition and negotiating context, so this page does not apply a universal discount.
Can a changing catalog move the index?
Yes. The eligible mix of categories, lengths, brands and ages can change between snapshots. The index is a transparent market benchmark, not a repeat-sales or hedonic index. Category and age tables are published alongside it so readers can inspect composition.
How fresh is the data?
A verified aggregate is cached for up to 12 hours and regenerated on demand; a scheduled daily refresh retains one observation per day. If recomputation fails, GetBoat labels and serves the last verified snapshot rather than inventing replacement figures.
