How is my yacht’s value determined?

An HMY broker prepares a comparative market analysis (CMA) using real comparable sales, your yacht’s condition, engine hours and equipment, and current buyer demand for the brand and model. The result is a realistic market value and a recommended listing price.

Is the yacht valuation free?

Yes. A market valuation from HMY Yacht Sales is complimentary and comes with no obligation to list. Share a few details about your yacht and a broker will follow up with your analysis.

How accurate is an online yacht valuation?

Automated estimates are a starting point, but yacht values depend heavily on condition, hours, refits, and regional demand that a calculator can’t see. A broker-prepared CMA from real sold-boat data is far more accurate than an online guess.

What affects my yacht’s resale value the most?

Brand and model desirability, engine hours and maintenance records, overall condition and recent refits, equipment and electronics, and how the current market is trending for that size and type of yacht.

How long does it take to sell a yacht?

It varies by price, condition, and demand, but pricing correctly from the start is the single biggest factor in selling quickly. HMY sells a yacht on average every 12 hours through its global buyer network.

HOW WE VALUE YOUR YACHT

A yacht is only worth what a qualified buyer will pay today. An HMY broker prepares a comparative market analysis from real comparable sales and current demand, so you price to sell — not to sit.

Comparable sales

We price against what comparable yachts have actually sold for — not asking prices — using the brokerage sold-boat data buyers and surveyors rely on.

Condition & hours

Engine hours, maintenance history, refits, and overall condition can move a yacht’s value significantly versus a base model-year estimate.

Current demand

Markets move by season, region, and model. We factor live buyer demand and days-on-market so your number reflects today, not last year.

Brand & model

Some builders and models hold value far better than others. Our brand specialists know how your specific yacht is trending in the resale market.
