There’s a story many first-time buyers hear: put the yacht in charter and it pays for itself. It doesn’t.
Depending on the boat and the year, a 50 meter charters anywhere from under $200k a week to close to $350k, But you’re not usually booking the entire calendar— eight
weeks is a very good year. Roughly twenty percent comes off the top in commission. To charter legally, the boat has to be commercially registered and crewed to a higher standard, and that cost runs all year. Every charter week also adds wear you settle up for at the next refit.
Even in a strong year, charter might offset close to half your annual operating cost. It doesn’t
cover the rest, and it never touches depreciation.
Charter is rarely a business. It’s a discount on a boat you were always going to have in operation. Buy the
yacht for the use, and let charter soften the running cost.
If anyone’s told you a 50 meter pays for itself, email me and I’ll tell you real numbers.

There’s a “rule” that I’ve been hearing for years and years that a superyacht costs about 10% of its value a year to run. It’s false, and it’s most wrong on the boats that look like a bargain.
Operating cost follows the boat — her size, her systems, her crew. It does not follow the purchase price.

The lesson: budget the running cost off the boat, not off what you paid for it. The older, cheaper yacht can cost exactly as much to run as the newer one — sometimes more.
If you’re weighing an older superyacht against a newer one and want a real budget, email me — [email protected]

Two 50meter yachts can carry the same length and General Arrangement on paper and still be completely different in many ways. Here’s what actually separates them.
Volume. Gross tonnage — 350 to 500 in this class — is how the boat lives day to day, and
most buyers never give the number enough weight.
The builder, and the build. A Heesen holds its value better than a Baglietto does.
And what she’s made of matters too — a steel hull tends to resell better than aluminum. Same length, same year, very different outcomes.
Condition. Has the yacht held in-class status the whole time? Are the service books documented? Have the big-ticket refit items been done recently? Paint, AV and IT, machinery etc or are they coming due on your dime?

That’s why boats in this range look so similar on
paper and price out completely different in reality.
If you’re shopping the 40 to 50 meter class and need proper guidance, email me.

The level of expertise you get at a large brokerage and what you get at a boutique are very different, at a boutique, you’ll always have a senior yacht broker looking after your deal, regardless of whom in the team you’re working with.
Most large brokerages don’t take the time to properly train their new brokers. The person who picks up
your call may be capable, but they likely haven’t gone up against a broker with real experience in a live negotiation — and they won’t carry the kind of deep knowledge about a specific boat that comes from years in the category.
At MMG, you either work with me directly or with a specialist who has that deep category
knowledge — and that specialist always brings me into the deal. Two experienced people
working on the same deal find better results than one.

The size of a brokerage tells you nothing about the quality of advice you’re getting.

The survey came back with findings. He accepted the vessel as-is when there was clearly 4 legit things to negotiate, things the seller just did not do to save money.

This is one of the most common mistakes I see from inexperienced brokers and buyers. The other big mistake is walking from a good boat/deal just because the survey list has 30 items on it.
Every survey has findings. The question isn’t how many. It’s which category each one falls
into.

Deal-breakers change the fundamental decision. Cosmetic findings are noise. The items in
between — the ones the surveyor noted but didn’t flag as critical — that’s where your
negotiating position lives before the Accept/Reject Date.

What most buyers don’t realize about the survey.

The scope is yours to define. You choose the surveyors. You tell them how deep to go (so long as it’s non-destructive).
On a larger vessel, a full-scope survey can run multiple days — hull and structure, all mechanical
systems, electrical, plumbing, safety equipment, electronics. Some bring in specialist
subcontractors for special cases.
The report that comes back is yours. The surveyor works for you.
What you do with it is the decision that actually matters. Under the IYBA agreement, you have
until your Accept/Reject Date to tell the seller yes, no, or to propose new terms based on
what you found.
That window — and what you do inside it — is where deals are made or walked away from.

The $4M–$6M market is split right now — and the split is very Black & white in this 85-100ft brokerage market.
What’s moving: RPH and flybridge motoryachts from builders like Princess, Sanlorenzo, OA,
Ferretti, and Sunseeker. 2019 and newer. Good layout, well-maintained, solid presentation.
When the right one surfaces, serious buyers compete for it. The window is days, not months.
What’s sitting: boats with the wrong cabin count for their size, no on-deck day head, known heavy
charter history, or cosmetic neglect that signals the boat hasn’t been cared for. Some of those
are real value. Most have been passed over for a reason — and that reason doesn’t go away.
The mistake is treating them as the same market because they share a price range.
