What’s your boat worth?
Instant estimate from the asking prices of 98,000+ boats and yachts on the marketplace — real comparables, not a black-box formula.
What moves a boat’s value.
Engine hours & service history
The first thing serious buyers ask. Low hours with documented maintenance commands the top of the range; unknown history discounts it fast.
Condition & presentation
Gelcoat, upholstery, electronics, and cleanliness set the buyer's first impression — and their opening offer. Detailing before photos pays for itself.
Season & region
Spring and early summer bring the most buyers in northern markets; Florida and the Gulf move boats year-round. The same boat can list higher in season.
Honest pricing
Buyers see the same comparables you do. Boats priced inside the typical range sell; boats priced on hope sit — and stale listings invite lowball offers.
Boat value FAQ.
How do I find out what my boat is worth?
Enter your boat's make — and optionally the model, year, and length — into the estimator above. It compares your boat against real listings of similar boats currently and recently on the market and returns the median asking price and typical range.
Are these sold prices or asking prices?
Asking prices. Actual sale prices typically land somewhat below asking after negotiation, so treat the estimate as a starting point for pricing, not a guaranteed sale figure.
What affects my boat's value the most?
Age, engine hours, condition and maintenance history, location, and season. Two identical models can differ by 30% or more based on hours and upkeep — a documented service history is worth real money.
How should I price my boat to sell?
Price near the middle of the comparable range if your boat is in average condition, toward the top if it's low-hours and well documented. Overpricing is the most common reason boats sit unsold — buyers compare against the same listings you see here.
What's the cheapest way to sell once I know the value?
Selling it yourself. A broker typically charges 10% commission; listing on Yachtlista costs a flat $149 with no commission, and buyer inquiries come straight to you.
