10 Great Used Motoryachts You Can Buy For $150K

January 16, 2017 1:45 pm

Consider this scenario: you’re in the market for a used motoryacht — probably nothing smaller than 40 feet — with a budget of $150,000, more or less. You want a boat from a good builder (preferably one of their more popular models), and you’re open to the layout as long as it’s comfortable. Everything else is on the table.

If that describes your boating future, you’ll be happy and perhaps a little surprised at the choices available to you in a used motoryacht or cruiser yacht .

To find out for ourselves, we spent two weeks researching this market on YachtWorld, boats.com, etc., and came away with a list of ten models that represent a cross section of what’s available for about $150,000. There’s a lot to choose from here — traditional aft cabin motor yachts, cockpit motor yachts, classic pilothouse yachts, and sporty sedan cruisers.

All of the ten boats profiled below were popular models during their production years which means (a) that a clean used model should be relatively easy to find, and (b) selling or trading up one day should be no problem.

At the end of the day it’s good to know $150,000 still buys a lot of boat. Assuming 20 percent down and a 15-year note, the monthly payment for one of these yachts can be less than $1,000. For many, that’s an affordable number, especially with strengthening home values and historically low interest rates. Food for thought as we approach the spring boat show season.

1. Carver 500/504 Cockpit MY Production Years: 1996–2000

At a Glance: A super-popular model for Carver, basically a condo on the water. This is a cockpit version of the Carver 455/456 Aft Cabin model produced during the same years.

Spacious two stateroom maple interior has a folding bulkhead in the forward VIP stateroom that conceals a small guest cabin/den to port with convertible bunks. (This feature was eliminated in 1999 when the interior was redesigned and the name changed to Carver 504.)

The large U-shaped galley is aft in the salon rather than forward as it is in most motoryacht floorplans. In the master stateroom, the walkaround queen bed faces aft to permit the installation of cockpit access door. Washer/dryer is in forward stateroom. Twin 450hp Cummins diesels cruise at 18 knots.

Best Feature: Huge interior, the result of moving the superstructure well forward in the hull (note the relatively short foredeck).

Pr ice Spread: From a low of about $150K up to the mid-to-high $200s for a newer model.

2. Carver 444 Cockpit MY Production Years: 2001 – 2006

At a Glance: The top-selling cockpit yacht in this class for several years. Basically a Carver 396 Aft Cabin with a good-sized cockpit. The 444’s huge full-beam interior — made possible by raising the side decks to eye level — comes as a surprise. With its panoramic views and nearly seven feet of headroom, the salon’s dimensions are those of a much larger boat.

To save space, the forward head is split with the shower stall to port and toilet compartment to starboard. A sliding glass door in the (smallish) master stateroom opens directly into the cockpit.

In 2004, an optional “Extended Salon” floorplan with a full-size dinette, enlarged galley and redesigned VIP stateroom became available. Twin Volvo 370hp engines cruise at 18–19 knots. Carver sold a ton of these stylish boats.

Best Feature: Enormous salon/dinette/galley area with panoramic outside views.

Price Spread: A random YachtWorld check will find several priced in the mid $100K range.

3. Meridian 411 Sedan Production Years: 2003 – 2008

At a Glance: Very popular (and very affordable) sedan cruiser — a winning blend of sharp styling and spacious accommodations — made the Meridian 411 one of the best-selling midrange boats in her class. Huge interior layout with galley and booth-style dinette forward, a step up from the aft salon area with entertainment center and facing settees.

Large salon windows bring the outdoors in. Modern decor with cherry cabinets, Ultraleather seating, and Corian counters. Master stateroom includes private en-suite head; guest stateroom has a double berth (tucked under the dinette) and access to the second day head. Extended swim platform leads to a large cockpit (with molded bridge steps) suitable for fishing and entertaining.

Lower helm was optional. Wide side decks make it easy to get to the foredeck sun pad.

Best Feature: A super-social flybridge with sun lounge, wet bar, settee, and aft sun pad.

Price Spread:  Low-to-mid $100s to over $300K.

4. Silverton 39 Motor Yacht Production Years: 2002 – 2008

At a Glance: This maxi-beam aft cabin cruiser — and her lookalike predecessor, the best-selling Silverton 372/392 Motor Yacht — is proof that a roomy interior trumps graceful styling almost every time. Elevated side decks on both sides of the house provide a huge full-beam salon as well as direct flybridge access to the foredeck.

The 39’s galley rivals many larger boats in storage and counter space. Both staterooms have queen beds, generous storage, and en-suite heads with stall shower. High-gloss cherry trim, Corian counters, and Ultraleather upholstery compliment the interior. Molded steps lead from the swim platform up to a roomy aft deck with wet bar, bench seating and hard top.

Note the triple helm seat on the flybridge. The 39’s high freeboard will test your docking skills on a windy day. Standard 380hp gas engines cruise at 16–18 knots.

Best Feature: Enormous two-stateroom interior dwarfs anything in her class. Excellent galley.

Price Spread: $150K to the mid $200s.

5. Bayliner 4788 Pilothouse Production Years: 1994 – 2002

At a Glance: Arguably the best big-boat value ever. Spacious, well appointed, and surprisingly fuel efficient. This is basically a restyled (and lengthened) version of the very popular Bayliner 4550/4588 Pilothouse.

Her three stateroom, two head interior features a full-beam salon with large U-shaped galley forward to port, wet bar, L-lounge seating, and large side windows. In the pilothouse, there is a settee aft of the helm and a companion seat to port.

Visibility from the pilothouse is excellent. Second guest stateroom with upper/lower bunks doubles as a den and opens directly to the master stateroom — very clever. An inflatable dinghy can be carried on the extended flybridge deck. The engine room is a tight fit. Forget all that talk about Bayliner quality — the 4788 is simply a lot of boat for the money.

Best Feature: Comfortable salon that opens to the large cockpit — perfect for entertaining. 

Price Spread:  Low-to-mid $100s for a 1994–95 model to $230 to $250K for a 2001–02 model.

6.  Sea Ray 550 Sedan Bridge Production Years: 1992 – 1998

At a Glance: Stylish 1990’s cruising yacht with three-stateroom interior and extra-large cockpit. The salon is impressive, a wide-open (carpeted) living area with cut-down galley, long leather sofa, entertainment center, and big wraparound cabin windows.

The forward master stateroom is huge with an island queen bed, two hanging lockers, vanity, and private en-suite head. Roomy guest stateroom has a full-size berth, and the second guest cabin has over/under bunks. Both heads have stall showers, but guest head is tight. Lower helm was optional. Center transom door is flanked by built-in bench seats in the cockpit.

In 1996, the flybridge ladder was replaced with molded steps and the helm was relocated aft. The 550’s straight sheer and drooping bow are distinctive. Detroit 625hp 6V-92 diesels cruise at 22–23 knots.

Best Feature: The large cockpit and party-time flybridge — great attributes for entertaining.

Price Spread: $150K to the mid $200s

7. Maxum 4600 SCB Production Years: 1997 –2001

At a Glance: Modern styling, an inviting two stateroom interior, and a very competitive price made the Maxum 4600 SCB one of the best motoryacht buys of her day. Maxum engineers packed a lot of value into this boat. The salon is exceptionally inviting with wraparound windows, a long leather sofa, cherry cabinets, and full entertainment center.

A raised dinette is forward to starboard, opposite the home-size galley with overhead glass storage and Corian counters. A lower helm was optional in place of the dinette. Note the tub in the master head. In the cockpit, a center transom door opens to an extended swim platform able to support a PWC.

The 4600 SCB is surprisingly fuel-efficient boat, a feature that stems in part from her relatively light weight. Cummins 370hp diesels cruise at 16–18 knots.

Best Feature: An affordable price — this is what brokers call a lot of boat for the money.

Price Spread:  From about $100K for an older model up to $200K-plus for 2001–02 model.

8. Sea Ray 450 Express Bridge Production Years: 1998 – 2004

At a Glance:   An innovative yacht when she was introduced in 1998. Not many 45-footers have three staterooms. The aft stateroom — accessed via a private entryway next to the salon door — includes a full-length berth with hanging locker and built-in washer/dryer.

Forward of that, the amidships stateroom features a double berth with partial standing headroom and an opening port. An island queen is in the forward stateroom. Both heads include separate stall showers. Aft of the galley is a breakfast bar with two swing-out stools. Small salon windows limit natural lighting below. Topside, the huge party-time flybridge has seating fore and aft of the center helm console. Note the unique staircase descending from the flybridge to the foredeck.

An extended swim platform was a popular option. Cummins 450hp V-drive diesels cruise at 20–22 knots.

Best Feature: Huge party-time bridge area.

Price Spread:  An early model might be found for $150K. Newer can easily exceed $200K.

9. Carver 440 Aft Cabin Production Years: 1993 – 1999

At a Glance: The largest model in the Carver fleet when she was introduced in 1993. A big 44-footer with an usually spacious salon, two double staterooms, two full heads, and a convertible dinette — sleeping accommodations for as many as eight adults.

The maple wood accents and carpeted salon are showing their age, but large cabin windows make the interior open and airy. Note salon entertainment center. Full-service galley includes double sink, upright refrigerator, washer/dryer, Corian counter and hardwood floor.

The aft deck is large enough for a table and chairs, and the flybridge has dual captain’s chairs with bench seating forward of the helm. Bow pulpit, fiberglass swim platform, and radar arch were standard. Carver sold a lot of these boats and used models are plentiful.

Best Feature: Very spacious layout with room to entertain a small neighborhood.

Price Spread:  From about $100K for an older model up to $200K-plus for 2001–02 model

10. Sea Ray 420 Aft Cabin Production Years: 1996 – 2002

At a Glance:   Sleek aft cabin cruising yacht incorporated European styling influences in an era when too many American-built motor yachts looked like floating condos. Well-appointed two stateroom galley-down interior sleeps up to eight — includes L-shaped sofa and raised dinette in the salon, walkaround queen berths fore and aft, two full heads, and stand-up utility room under the salon sole.

Full-size galley comes complete with separate Sub Zero refrigerator and freezer, convection oven, and lots of counter and storage space — a big plus. The aft deck is big for a boat this size. Molded steps make boarding from the extended swim platform easy and safe.

Built on a fully cored hull with prop pockets to level the engines. A good performer with 450hp Cummins diesels— cruise in the mid 20s (27–28 knots top.

Best Feature: Utility room with washer/dryer and pantry — a very unique feature in a boat this size

Price Spread:  From the low $100K range for a 1996–97 model up to about $200K for newer.

9 Affordable Boats With Enclosed Cabins (with pictures)

Boats with enclosed cabins are great for boaters who want to spend a little more time out on the water.  Unfortunately, they are often out of the price ranges of most people.

However, just because most boats with enclosed cabins tend to be expensive, it doesn’t mean that they all are.

In this post, we’ll talk about nine affordable boats with enclosed cabins that you can buy today!

Table of Contents

Cuddy Cabins

Cuddy cabins are great boats for people on a budget who are looking for a boat that offers an enclosed sleeping space.  These little boats provide their owners with an interior cabin at the front of the boat that can be set up to sit in or to sleep in.

However, they typically do not offer any other amenities such as galleys or heads.

This makes them great for day trips, weekend adventures, and boat camping excursions, but not very good for full-time living.

The Bayliner VR5 Cuddy

The Bayliner VR5 Cuddy is a 20’4” boat with a hull length of 18’4” a beam of 8’, and a draft of 2’10”.  A 150HP or 250HP engine can be attached to it, and a 33-gallon fuel tank is built to fuel these engines.

While this boat isn’t very large, it can still hold up to 8 people.

Of course, these eight people would not be able to move around freely in a boat of this size, but they would have plenty of seating options as this boat offers them in abundance.

One of the best features of this boat is its weight.  With the 150HP engine, the boat only weighs 3,131 pounds , and even with the 250HP engine, it only weighs 3,351 pounds.  This means the boat is easily towable for people with small trucks, SUVs, and even some minivans with towing packages.

The main area of this boat has comfortable wrap-around seating, and the captain’s chair swivels around to lineup with an optional teak dining table.  This makes this little cuddy cabin perfect for cruising around on lakes, rivers, the bay, and even through small channels.

2020 models of this boat sell for around $71,000.00. However, this model isn’t completely new to Bayliner, so if you want to reduce your expenses, you could get an older used VR5 for a bit cheaper.

Stingray 208CR Cuddy Cabin

The Stingray 208CR is another 20’ long boat with an 8’ beam.  This boat is a fiberglass boat, and it sports a V6 4.3-C 200 SX engine.  A 34-gallon fuel tank is used to fuel this boat.

Nine people can ride on the 208CR, and two people can sleep inside it.  It even has a freshwater tank of 6 gallons and a 25qt icebox.  With the 200HP engine, the dry weight of the boat is only 3,078 pounds, so it is definitely able to go on a trailer.

Up on deck, you’ll find two captain’s chairs and a bench that could realistically seat three adults.  This area is covered by a small bimini top and a front windshield.

At the stern of the boat, there is a nice little area for launching tubers, water boarders, water skiers, and even swimmers.  To get back onto the boat, one just needs to climb up the extendable ladder.

Move to the front of the boat, and you’ll find a small cabin that offers seating and a little place to sleep.  This area can also house a small portable toilet, but personally, I wouldn’t want to use a toilet in the same area that I intend to sit in and sleep in, so it’s best left for emergencies.

I couldn’t imagine being on this boat with eight other people, but it is perfect for a group of four or five people who want to have a nice day out on the water.  Passengers can rotate between doing water sports and resting in the cabin, and a couple could even spend the night out on the water from time-to-time.

This boat is very reasonably priced at $39,180.00 for a brand new 2020 model.

This cabin cannot be closed so you might want some special boat lights to keep mosquitos away .

Atlas Boat Works Pompano 23

The Pompano 23 is 23’ long and has a 7’ beam.  The dry weight on it is only 2,100 pounds, so it is easy to tow.  It has a small fuel capacity of only 30 gallons, but this should be plenty considering how light the boat is.  Also, the engine capacity is only 115HP max, so the engine won’t be eating up a lot of full either.

One of the nice features of this boat is that the cockpit can be enclosed with a canvas enclosure.  This gives the boat an additional indoor area on top of the small cuddy cabin.  You could use this to get changed in or simply to get out of the wind and sun.  Also, the stern of the boat is completely covered with a bimini top, so you never actually have to expose yourself to the hot midday sun.

Inside the cabin, you’ll find a small vee berth and a portable toilet .  The berth can be converted to a small sitting area, but most people probably won’t use it as it is quite small.

Campion Allante 635

The 2019 Campion Allante 635 is a 22’ long fiberglass boat with a 200hp outboard gas engine.  This engine is fueled by a 60-gallon fuel tank, which is massive for a boat this size.  The larger fuel tank would be perfect for owners who want to spend a few nights out on the water in their little cuddy cabin.

Up on deck, there are two captain’s chairs and a small sitting area for four to five people behind them.  This sitting area has a round table attached to it with two built-in cup holders.  Move through this area, and there is a nice opening that can be used to access the rear of the boat.

Head inside the cabin, and once again, you’ll find a small sitting area that can be converted into a two-person sleeping area.  There is also a portable toilet that fits in between the sitting area.

The only dry weight listing I could find for the boat was 2,800 pounds , but it doesn’t list whether or not this weight includes the weight of the motor.

However, even if you add a couple of hundred pounds for the engine, you’ll still have a boat that is light enough and small enough to be towed easily.

Pricing for this boat is in the neighborhood of $50,000.00.

Cabin Cruisers

Cabin cruisers provide a lot more usable interior space.  They make wonderful weekend getaway boats and can even be used for extended vacations.  Some people even use these boats as full-time homes , but they are a bit limited in space for this purpose.

A cabin cruiser will feature at least one berth and will usually offer a head and a galley.  It may even offer multiple berths and even a lounge area.  You can often find these with air conditioners and heaters, and a generator can even be added to power these amenities when the boat isn’t running.

People who want a yacht but can’t quite afford one just yet often turn to cabin cruisers as they offer many of the benefits of a yacht but in a smaller package.

Boston Whaler Conquest 285

The Boston Whaler Conquest 285 is a smaller cabin cruiser.

Its length is 27’10,” and its beam is 9’6”  The dry weight without the engine is 7,300 pounds.  This is light enough that the boat could be trailered with a larger truck, but the width would make it difficult to tow around realistically.

With the high weight of the boat comes a large engine.  The engine on this is a 500HP engine.  This engine is fueled with a 200-gallon fuel tank.

The outside features a few captain’s chairs and a nice standing area that could be used for fishing.  This area also features a fridge and a small sink as well. At the bow, there is a small door so that the rear can be accessed for water sports.

The cockpit is completely enclosed, and there is seating for three.  Head through the cockpit, and you can enter the main salon, which features a berth that converts to a dining table, a small head, and a small kitchen.  There is also a cabin inside as well, which has a berth that can convert to a small seating area.

A thirty-gallon freshwater tank supplies the bathroom and kitchen with clean water, and a 6.5-gallon wastewater tank provides black water storage.  There is also a 26 gallon live well as well.

This boat sells new for several hundred thousand dollars, but you can buy them used for less than $50,000.00.

Grady White Express 330

The Grady White Express 330 is a 33’6” boat with an 11’7” beam.  It weighs 10,840 pounds without the engines.  The engine capacity is 850 HP, which comes in the form of two rear outboard motors.  To fuel these motors, there is a 331-gallon fuel tank.

The exterior of the boat is set up for cruising and for fishing, and the deck can be converted to be used for either purpose as there are foldaway benches built into it.  There is also a side door with a boarding ladder that could be used for swimmers and divers.

Related Article: How Do You Find the Owner of a Boat? (With Examples)

Inside the cabin, you’ll find a forward vee berth, a double aft berth, a seating area with a 28” television, a port side galley, and a head with a 10-gallon holding tank.  With all of these items inside the cabin, there really isn’t a lot of room to move around.  This being said, you do have everything you could need for a long weekend or even a minimalistic full-time life out on the water.

A new Grady White Express 330 is going to cost over a quarter of a million dollars. 

However, you can buy used models for less than six figures.  Also, remember that a fiberglass boat can easily last a lifetime, so an investment in a 20-year-old Express 330 could be a great alternative to buying a summer vacation home.

Rinker 270 Express Cruiser

The Rinker 270 Express Cruiser is a 28’10” boat with an 8’6” beam.  It has a dry weight of 7,095 pounds and can sleep up to four people.

One of the best features of this boat is that it is small enough to be put on a trailer and large enough to live in.  This makes it very desirable for weekend adventurers and for people who wish to travel around the country with their boat in tow.

On top of this, the boat’s cabin offers 6’5” of headroom, which is more than many campers have to offer these days.

Inside the cabin, you’ll find a vee berth as well as a double berth on either side of a galley kitchen and a small head.   This kitchen contains a one burner electric stove, a microwave, and a 2.3 cubic foot fridge.  For entertainment, there is a built-in Bluetooth stereo system.

On the outside, the cockpit features seating for three, and it is all covered with a bimini top.  Behind this, there is a section that contains dual benches that face each other.  Just past this is a back deck that would be easy to jump on and off of.  It also houses an extendable ladder that can be used by swimmers.

What I love about this boat is that you can find used models for as little as $20,000.00 and even brand new, you won’t have to sell your house to buy one.

Center Console Fishing Boats

Many boat manufacturers have caught onto the fact that it’s easier for anglers to sell their families on the idea of buying a fishing boat that’s also comfortable for passengers.  For this reason, they’re now building center console fishing boats with cabins and seating areas that rival cruising boats.

These boats are great for anglers because they have a full 360-degree area that they can fish from.  On top of this, they can bring their non-fishing family members with them, and they can hang out in the lounge areas or get some rest inside the cabin.

Here are a few examples of center console fishing boats with cabins.

Related Article: 13 Clever Ways to Get a Good Deal on (New) Boats

Scout 350 LXF

The Scout 350 LXF features a large open bow with bench seating and a tanning deck.  The benches and the deck are both padded for additional comfort.

At the rear, there is rearward facing bench seating and plenty of open space for fishing.  This is partially shaded by the center console’s overhead cover.

The center of the boat features a cockpit with a roof and comfortable seating .  It also houses the door leading into the main cabin and adds some additional interior headroom for the shower and galley areas.

There isn’t a lot of room inside the cabin, but you will find a vee berth that converts to a dinette, a small galley kitchen with a sink and a microwave, and a head that houses a toilet and a shower.  These amenities are filled with a 30-gallon freshwater tank.

You could spend a day or even a weekend inside this cabin, but most would probably be reluctant to live inside of it full-time.  This being said, the outside decks are nice enough that you could stay out there in nice weather and never feel like you’re depriving yourself.

The boat comes in at 34’11” with a beam of 10’9”.  It has a deep draft of 23,” and a weight of 10,800 pounds with two twin Yamaha 350 engines included.  Powering the twin engines is a 334-gallon fuel tank.

This boat comes in at over $300,000.00 and might seem unaffordable at first.  However, you have to realize that both fishing boats and cabin cruisers often cost this much, and this boat actually combines both of them into one.

Dusky 227 Fish Around Cruiser

The Dusky 227 is a 22’7” longboat with an 8’2” beam.  This makes it a trailer-safe boat that can be used for fishing, cruising, and even sleeping in.  The engine on the boat is a 230HP engine with a 60-gallon fuel tank.  This fuel capacity is much lower than some of the cabin cruisers we discussed, but it is on-par with the cuddy cabins.

This boat is a lot less plush than some of the other boats we’ve looked at, but it appears to be a lot more functional in terms of fishing capabilities.  The bow features a small bench and an area that could be used for sitting against the rails.  These areas do not have any padding and are molded into the boat, so they should be ridiculously easy to clean, even after a full day of fishing.

There isn’t any seating at the stern or in front of the center console, which would make running around the boat to get to fishing poles a lot easier.  Move into this center console, and you’ll find a small bench that can be converted into a small vee berth.  Inside the bench is a storage compartment.

For people who want a little more luxury, a bench seat can be added behind the center console, and overhead cover can be added as well.  Additional padding can also be purchased to add over the built-in bench upfront.

A brand new Dusky 227 is very reasonable and can be had for as little as $55,000.00.

Final Thoughts

There are affordable boats with enclosed cabins at all levels.

The key is to decide how much you want to spend and choose a boat that meets both your needs and your budget!

Setting Sail on a Budget: The 10 Cheapest Yachts To Buy

Do you want to sail your boat but are afraid of the enormous prices of buying one? Here we will present you with the 10 cheapest yachts. Now you can cruise in style but on a budget.

Everyone has experienced envy when seeing a stranger’s yacht while basking in the summer sun. And if you don’t have a boat and can only watch the waves churn up and down while you crave the open water, it can be even more frustrating.

But the reality is that a multimillion-dollar income is not required to purchase a yacht. Quite the opposite. Thanks to modern marine technology and a surge in popularity, boat buyers can choose from a wide variety of surprisingly reasonable, high-quality vessels.

Here’s a list of ten of the cheapest yachts, including several brand-new models, that can get you and your loved ones out on the water and well on your way to countless exciting boating excursions that will leave you with memories that will last a lifetime.

Top 10 Cheapest Yachts You Should Look For

Look at the luxuriously cheapest yachts we have sorted for you.

1. Element E16 Bayliner

Bayliner is featured many times as the cheapest option in yachts for a good reason: the firm is committed to building high-quality boats at prices that make them accessible to many families. These simple-to-operate boats are wonderful for those who have never been in the water.

The Element E16 bowrider boat has the power and comfort to get you and your pals to fun locations with style and swiftness. The steering wheel feels just like driving a car, and a slew of cutting-edge stability and safety technologies keep you safe and secure.

It’s a good boat with many features that make it suitable for families. Unlike the world’s priciest yachts , you don’t need a million dollars to buy her, and she’s a lot of fun to boot. You won’t find a better deal anywhere else! Prices start at $143.33 per month or $15,806.00 (lump sum).

2. Sport Fishing Boat Lund 1650 Angler

The full-windshield 1650 Angler Sport from Lund is one of the greatest 16-foot fishing boats available, making it a top choice for serious anglers. This aluminum Lund fishing boat is fully equipped with a big cockpit, front and rear fishing platforms, lockable rod storage, a live well, and enough storage compartments for fishing gear, making it suitable for fishing in small lakes and huge, windy bodies of water.

From $165.60 USD a month, or $18,247 (lump sum).

3. Aluminum Fishing Boat, Tracker V-16 SC

One of the most incredible affordable fishing boats available is the Tracker Super Guide V-16 SC, featured in an episode of Boat Trader’s Stomping Grounds video series. The 2022 model seems sure to continue that trend.

She’s perfect for anglers on a tight budget who don’t want to sacrifice performance for affordability. Along with her standard galvanized trailer and 50 HP Mercury outboard, this Tracker is ready to hit the water.

Two removable fishing seats may be secured to any of the five pedestals positioned across the boat’s deck, making this an affordable solution that will get you out on the water in comfort and style. This yacht is priced at $20,995 (lump sum).

4. SuperSport 160 and 130 Skiffs by Boston Whaler

Every boating expert has heard about Boston Whaler. The Super Sport 160 and its smaller sibling, the Super Sport 130, continue the manufacturer’s legacy as the most fantastic boats available at or under 20 feet in length.

The larger SuperSport160, with its capacity for up to 100 horsepower, is a near-ideal little fishing boat that is widely used for fishing in bays, ports, and flats, as well as for cruising with friends and family.

Most experienced boaters know that not all boats are made equal and that these two Super Sport series boats are the best in terms of longevity, safety, and seaworthiness. Shoppers can feel confident that they are getting excellent value with either version. The base price of a 2022 Super Sport 130 is $15,363 (lump sum), while a 2022 Super Sport 160 is $23,826 (lump sum).

5. Party Barge 20 DLX Sun Tracker

If you’re looking for a sizeable recreational pontoon boat that can still be pulled and launched by just two people, go no further than Sun Tracker’s PARTY BARGE 20 DLX. This pontoon boat has just the appropriate amenities for an enjoyable day on the water, no matter the size of your group.

The STOW MORETM seat storage system is installed in the midship L-lounge and both bow sofas, allowing for a plethora of storage space. Tune into your favorite tunes on the Bluetooth audio while you cool down with a swim off the extra-wide platform and get back on via the extra-wide ladder.

The time has come to pack up the family and head off to the lake for a weekend of fun and bonding. Depending on the dealer and the available stock, a boat, engine, and trailer combo with a 40 ELPT FourStroke Command Thrust Mercury FourStroke outboard could cost roughly $25,000 (lump sum).

6. Walker Bay 450 DLX Generation RIB

The Walker Bay 450 DLX, designed as a yacht tender for larger yachts, is a highly capable vessel in her capacity, thanks to her deep V-hull and rigid inflatable design. She’s got a sleek European design and a roomy, athletic, wider hull.

She can accommodate up to eight people and has 75 horsepower. She has a well-thought-out design, enough storage space, and a built-in ski pole and boarding ladder so you can have the best time possible while out on the lake.

Additionally, she weighs 633 pounds, making her simple to trailer and control on the water. Prices begin at about $30,000 USD (estimated) but may vary by region and luxury.

7. Pontoon Boat Model Starcraft CX 21 R

Still today, pontoons are the go-to watercraft for many families looking to spend all day on lakes, rivers, and inland waterways in style and comfort. The best part is that you can usually get one of these boats for a lower price than you might imagine, despite its stability, opulence, and spacious interior.

If you’re looking for a high-quality pontoon boat, look no further than Starcraft’s CX series. They offer every feature you could want from a top manufacturer. As a bonus, they provide excellent value in reasonably priced bundles that cater to the needs of different boat owners and types of boating .

The CX 21 R provides exceptional ease of use, design, and value thanks to superior consoles, fashionable fencing, and rail accents. In most cases, you can get into a 2021 CX 21 R pontoon for about $30,000 (lump sum), with enough left over to stock her coolers with beverages and munchies for the whole crew.

8. Chaparral 19 SSI

Chaparral’s 19 SSI is a modern take on the classic bowrider runabout, including clean lines, stainless steel fittings, plenty of storage and seats, a swim platform, a folding arch tower, and non-skid flooring. Her 19 feet, 4 inches of length let her carry 11 people comfortably on her plush, hand-stitched upholstery in the bow.

In 2021, Chaparral introduced a new helm style with a handmade hand-stitched brow and aluminum-faced gauges highlighted with stainless steel bezels and fog-resistant instruments. Starting at $34,195 (lump sum).

9. Bayliner Center Console Trophy T20CX

Bayliner has brought back an old moniker with their new Trophy series, and the 2021 T20CX center console is a great example of why you should consider purchasing one. The boat’s standout features are its deep V-hull, broad bow for casting or lounging, live wells, aft bench seat, and dry-riding interior, all of which make the trip to your favorite fishing place or waterfront restaurant much more pleasant.

Its user-friendly layouts and convenient features, such as a self-bailing cockpit that makes cleanup a breeze and a private head compartment in the center console, make it a hit with families. Ski tow pylons and other accessories provide adventurers with more alternatives. Prices start at (lump sum) $35,046 USD or $336/month.

10. SPX 190 Sea Ray

The Sea Ray SPX 190 is a very economical family boat with some wonderful amenities and features, with base models starting in the $40,000 bracket. The SPX 190 has an athletically gifted performance with a comfortable, roomy interior that features the traditional Sea Ray style, ensuring you make the most of your time on the water.

The SPX 190 brings the reliable, family-friendly Sea Ray standard of boating to a more reasonable price point. Depending on the trim, market, and dealer availability, prices can begin at about $45,000 (lump sum).

Where Can I Find a Low-Cost Yacht?

In most cases, a yacht’s price will not reflect its popularity. A yacht is a luxury item purchased for one’s use. Buying a boat is more exciting than buying a car since boats are unique and challenging to come by. Quite a variety of one-of-a-kind options are readily available.

If money is an issue, you can save the most money by purchasing a previously owned yacht. Family-friendly cruisers from respected manufacturers like Sea Ray, Carver, Hatteras, and Bertram are worth considering.

How to Find a Boat at the Best Price?

The options expand dramatically through an internet marketplace when looking for a boat. You can find thousands of new and used boats for sale on online marketplaces, and the platforms are designed to make the purchasing process simple and quick.

Is purchasing a yacht at a boat auction a viable option for finding a cheap yacht?

Do not get lured into buying a salvage boat or yacht at an auction unless you are an expert mechanic and have thoroughly inspected the vessel in question. Auctions are an excellent place to look for boats on the cheap, but whether you get a good deal or a bad one depends on your luck, talent, and experience.

Most boats at auctions are used boats that have been previously owned, however, occasionally, new boats will be available from local vendors.

Do I need a new boat, or should I get a salvage boat instead?

Salvaged boats can waste your money or cost more to restore than the boat is worth. However, you can make a profit if you have the knowledge and abilities to finish all structural repairs yourself.

Think about whether you could create a hull repair template. Are you able to make electrical fixes? If the answer is yes, then using a salvage boat might be worthwhile.

Final Advice

Our recommendation is to use extreme caution around salvage vessels. A thorough survey must first be conducted to determine a boat’s actual worth. It’s important to remember that the surveyor won’t necessarily find every problem that needs addressing.

Some problems won’t surface until you get out on the water. Some people make it their business to buy and sell salvage boats professionally. An advantage is saving a lot of money, but a disadvantage is sitting in a boat that lacks the luster of a brand-new one and is more prone to developing issues down the road.

Galma: First look inside the first wallywhy100 sailing yacht

Ferretti Group has offered a first look inside the first unit in its wallywind110 series, Galma , currently debuting at the Monaco Yacht Show . 

The sailing yacht hit the water in June 2024 and marked the first semi-custom sail model launched by Wally since its acquisition in 2019. Galma was also the first unit to be officially launched in Ravenna.

Measuring 33.4 metres, the model's naval architecture comes from German studio judel/vrolijk & co . Galma is characterised by a 6.9-metre telescopic keel and an all-carbon hull that has been painted in "a luminous light metallic blue that changes slightly as the light hits her".

"Ever since Wally came into the universe of Ferretti Group, it has carried on being Wally," said Alberto Galassi, Ferretti Group CEO. “With the wallywind110, we’ve managed to introduce something that is distinct: the boats are completely customisable staying true to Wally’s tradition, but with Ferretti Group industrial approach, so no two will ever look the same."

Accommodation is across four guest cabins and three crew cabins, including a master cabin with desk space. There is also the option to install a bar, office or television room. Interior design is owed to Wally's team, headed by Luca Bassani in collaboration with Santa Maria Magnolfi . Newly-released imagery reveals an airy, casual aesthetic that incorporates light woods, pale upholstery and carbon fibre detailing for an industrial edge.

The raised saloon has an open-plan layout, with space for dining, lounging and working. It also benefits from natural light thanks to a skylight that runs the full length of the coachroof.

According to the shipyard, the wallywind100 focuses on combining the comfort of a cruising yacht with the spirit and performance of a racing boat. To this end, Galma has an 80-square-metre full-beam cockpit with seating and dining for up to 15 people, with customisation options available so that owners can make the most of this waterfront area.

Wally has already begun work on a second hull, which will display "some slight differences and optimisations" according to the shipyard.

Spanning some six decks, Inspire can comfortably accommodate 22 guests and 52 crew. The top deck is dedicated entirely to the owner and offers nearly 3,000 square feet of living space. The private oasis includes a giant primary suite, a lavish en suite with a full-beam vanity, two dressing rooms, a glass-enclosed lounge with a winter garden, and an outdoor terrace that is perfect for morning yoga. Friends and family sleep below, with eight spacious guest cabins on the main deck and two upscale VIP suites on the beach deck. The VIPs are both fitted with fold-out balconies, so guests too can partake in yoga.

At the heart of the interior lies an elegant lobby with a sculptural staircase that leads to all levels. The lobby doubles as a gathering space for the nearby theatre, which houses a stage, a full-beam screen, and seats for up to 40 guests.

One deck up lies a circular restaurant that can satiate the owner and their guests at any given moment. The tables can be arranged for intimate gatherings or large soirees alike. The exterior deck on this level is outfitted for alfresco dining, with loungers surrounding an oculus that affords spectacular views of all below.

Heading back downstairs, guests will find an epic beach deck with a fully equipped wellness center, a beach lounge, and a swim platform. The real pièce de résistance of this deck is the otherworldly “blue-hole swimming pool.” Surrounded by rugged rock formations, this glass-bottomed wonder provides breathtaking vistas of the ocean.

Another highlight is the Nemo lounge on the lower deck. Located approximately 16 feet below the water’s edge, the observation room allows seafarers to fully appreciate marine wonders without getting their hair wet.

“The marine environment has always inspired mankind; by its visual splendor of surging waves and endless skies, as well as its sense of wonder, tales of exploration, and legendary voyages,” designer Sander Sinot said in a statement. “Inspire builds on that legacy by providing unprecedented openness between the inside and out, vast exterior decks, and features such as a blue hole swimming pool and submersible Nemo room.”

Sinot says Inspire is “ready to be built,” the team just needs to land a buyer.
