Why are used small yachts so popular?
The core reason for the popularity of used small yachts is simple—convenience. Compared to large yachts, they offer a more relaxed ownership experience and greater freedom in nautical enjoyment. Small yachts do not require a crew; you can set sail alone or with friends, boarding at any time and departing on a whim; their agile hulls make mooring effortless, even in busy marinas; more importantly, they can access quiet, secluded coves and reach exceptional locations inaccessible to larger yachts. Maintaining a used small yacht is also straightforward, with fewer systems that won’t encroach on your weekend leisure time; low fuel consumption allows for more frequent and economical outings; everything is under your control, with no fixed schedules or routes, enabling you to sail entirely at your own pace. Yachttrading currently has 6 used small yachts available for sale.
How to choose the right used small yachts?
When selecting a used small yacht, you should consider whether it aligns with your needs. Used small yachts are typically suited for weekend leisure, short-distance outings, or family entertainment, as they are manoeuvrable and have relatively low maintenance costs. They are also ideal for fishing enthusiasts. You should choose the hull type based on your intended use—for leisure activities, consider an inboard or hardtop yacht, while open yachts are better suited for fishing. Next, consider your budget. In addition to the purchase price, factor in fuel costs, insurance, maintenance, and marina berthing fees. The number of crew members is also crucial; ensure the cabin and seating accommodate your sailing needs. Don’t forget to inspect the hull and engine condition; if necessary, contact a Yachttrading professional broker or surveyor for an assessment.
