Catamarans are known to cost more than monohulls. But what do new and used catamarans cost, and what can you sell one for?
New cruising catamarans cost between $200,000 and $1,000,000, with an average price of about $500,000. Used cruising catamarans cost between $200,000 and $600,000. Small recreational catamarans, usually under 20 feet in length, cost under $50,000.
In this article, we’ll examine the average cost of new and used cruising catamarans. We’ll also showcase the average prices of small recreational catamarans, such as the famous Hobie Cat. Additionally, we’ll cover the factors that influence new and used catamaran prices and how to get a fair price on your next purchase.
We conducted a careful analysis of the new and used catamaran market and reported our findings in this article.

Factors that Influence Catamaran Prices
Catamaran prices are influenced by numerous factors, namely size, and type. Large catamarans are, predictably, more expensive than small catamarans. But unlike monohulls, catamaran sizes don’t vary extensively. Prices differ substantially between large and small catamarans, and so do their uses.
This is because there are two main types of catamarans on the market, and they’re vastly different sizes. The large type is the cruising catamaran, which is almost never less than 30 feet in length or more than 50 feet in length. The other type is the recreational or racing catamaran, which has no cabin and rarely exceeds 30 feet in length.
Small Racing Catamaran Cost
Small racing catamarans are a niche market, and their prices are pretty consistent for specific makes and models. These vessels don’t have a cabin, so people don’t usually spend hundreds of thousands for them. They’re fun boats for people who enjoy going fast on the water during weekends and at regattas.
Factors that influence small catamaran prices are usually its condition, size, and make. The most popular racing catamarans, like Hobie Cats, sell for anywhere from $10,000 to $30,000 depending on the size and condition. You can reliably find an open racing catamaran for less than $50,000, and usually around $10,000 to $20,000
New Cruising Catamaran Prices
Here’s where things get pricey. New cruising catamarans are some of the most expensive sailboats you can buy, second only to trimarans and other advanced aluminum and carbon yachts. New cruising catamarans never sell for less than $100,000, and the average price is around $350,000. A new cruising catamaran, depending on the length, can sell for up to $1,000,000.
New monohull sailboats are much less costly. A premium monohull built by a well-known manufacturer sells for between $175,000 and $250,000, with some outliers breaching the $350,000 mark. You can reliably expect a catamaran to cost almost double what a monohull of equal length does. That said, the additional comfort and unmatched speed are well worth the cost.
New Cruising Catamaran Cost Factors
What makes one new catamaran sell for $150,000 while another sells for $350,000? Other than size, there are a few factors that lead to such a dramatic price disparity for two seemingly similar vessels. The brand has something to do with it, but the design is the key element in pricing.
A basic cruising catamaran has few frills and utilizes standard hardware and sailing equipment. A high-end cruising catamaran in the same size and weight category has dramatically different equipment, automation, and even sailing characteristics. A high-end catamaran requires thousands of additional hours to design and develop hull shape, systems, and accommodation and thus costs significantly more.
And speaking of accommodations—the overall level of fit and finish below decks can contribute substantially to the price. High-end catamarans with central HVAC, advanced energy-saving systems, automation, and all the associated equipment add a lot to the initial cost. Additionally, high-end custom interiors require expensive materials and hours of specialized labor.
Basic cruising catamarans can be constructed and sold for little more than the price of a high-end monohull. This is because the accommodations and equipment used aboard are standard, and therefore not too disproportionately priced. Most cruising catamarans fall into this category, as they’re already quite expensive, to begin with without air conditioning, automatic sail controls, and carbon fiber masts.
Used Cruising Catamaran Prices
Used catamarans cost less than brand new models, but they still cost more than many brand new monohulls. The average price of an average-sized 40-something—foot used catamaran is around $250,000. Age doesn’t vary much, as these kinds of catamarans have only been popular since the 1990s.
The lowest price you’ll probably find for a used catamaran is about $100,000. At this price, you can get a smaller old catamaran or a vessel that needs work, like a new mast, new rigging, or hull repairs. This compromise is well worth it to some, who can save upwards of $50,000 by making repairs.
The priciest used catamarans typically top out at $700,000 to $1,000,000. These vessels, which range in size from 45 feet to 55 feet, are the cream of the crop and usually only a couple of years old. For example, a 45-foot 2019 Lagoon 450F with its advanced wave-piercing hull design and luxurious interior sells for around $550,000 to $620,000 used and sells for $635,500 new. As you can see, late-model catamarans suffer from very little depreciation.
Used Cruising Catamaran Cost Factors
The prices of used cruising catamarans vary wildly, as there are many more factors at play. The most significant pricing factor is the age of the boat. Newer and late-model catamarans built by respectable manufacturers cost almost as much as they do now, which is always in the $100,000+ range. This is limiting to many sailors who don’t want to spend a mortgage on a sailboat.
Older used catamarans are much more reasonably priced, and the condition is the primary factor. This includes the condition of the interior, rigging, and hull. Famous catamarans will cost more regardless of their age or condition, as these vessels have a large following due to some mystical characteristics like handling, speed, or seaworthiness.
Reputation plays a big part in the used catamaran world due to its relatively small size. Catamaran people know each other—and they all hang out on the same online forums. These people have an actual and quantifiable influence on used catamaran pricing.
Why are Catamarans So Expensive?
Many sailors wonder why catamarans cost so much more than monohulls. After all, it usually costs more to buy a 15-year-old 40-foot catamaran than a brand new 40-foot monohull. There are a few reasons for this, and it comes down to a combination of construction cost, demand, and ability.
Catamarans offer numerous undeniable handling benefits over monohulls. For one, they’re stable and dramatically increase passenger and crew comfort in rolling seas. They’re safe and easy to handle and very difficult to capsize. Additionally, they have much more usable interior storage and living space and accommodations for many people.
Catamarans have the upper hand with speed, as they aren’t bound by the restrictions of hull speed. Catamarans can sometimes travel at twice the speed of monohulls, which reduces costs and increases your practical cruising range.
Additionally, the cost to design, develop, and build catamarans is much higher than monohulls. Catamarans require careful engineering and strength of materials calculations, as the two hulls must be joined in the middle and also support the mast.
Catamarans use up much more material than monohulls, as they require two separate hulls with living spaces and an enclosed center cockpit area. The materials themselves are often higher quality, along with the additional cost of advanced and automatic winches, navigation systems, and controls throughout the vessel.
Design and materials alone can double or triple production costs for a catamaran, not to mention the expensive man-hours and skilled labor involved in the building process. The benefits catamarans provide to their owners keep prices high on the used market, and their limited production can never keep up with demand.
How to Tell if a Catamaran is Fairly Priced
How do you know if you’re getting a good deal on a catamaran, and what should you sell yours for? Many people consult catamaran dealerships and boat appraisers, which are a good “official” resource for boat pricing. That said, the online catamaran community shouldn’t be overlooked.
The forums are an excellent source of real-world expertise on catamaran pricing. As we mentioned previously, the ‘catamaran guys’ usually congregate online and keep track of the used catamaran market. Their consensus can help you figure out what a fair market price is—and what catamaran buyers are willing to pay. After all, they’re your target market.
Before asking, it’s a good idea to check the market yourself and see what other boats are listed and sold for. This can give you a ballpark idea of what to expect. On many boat trading sites, you can filter for sold listings and see what boats like yours recently sold for.

These include the size, materials used, features, and age of the catamaran.
Generally, larger catamarans will cost more than smaller ones, while those made with higher quality materials will also be more expensive.

Ultimately, the cost of a catamaran will depend on the individual buyer’s budget and preferences.
The Cost of New Catamarans
When shopping for a new catamaran, one of the first things to consider is the size of the vessel.
Smaller, basic catamarans can typically range from $50,000 to $100,000, while larger vessels can cost up to $500,000 or more.
The cost of a catamaran will also depend on its materials and features.

Used Catamarans
For those looking for a more budget-friendly option, used catamarans can often be found for sale at a fraction of the cost of a new one.
While the cost of used catamarans can vary greatly, they are usually much more affordable than new models.
Depending on the condition, size, and features, used catamarans can range anywhere from $20,000 to $300,000 or more.
When purchasing a used catamaran, it is important to pay close attention to the condition of the boat.
Check for signs of wear and tear, including any cracks, dents, or rust.
Additionally, inspect the deck, hull, and interior for any possible damage or leaks.
It is also important to make sure all the necessary safety features, such as life jackets and fire extinguishers, are present and in good condition.
It is also a good idea to take the boat out for a test sail to get a better feel for how it handles in different conditions.
This can help you determine if the boat is in good condition and if it is a good fit for your needs.
Finally, if you have the budget, it is always a good idea to get a professional inspection done by a qualified marine surveyor.
This will ensure that the boat is in good condition and can help you avoid any potential problems in the future.
In summary, used catamarans can be an excellent option for those looking for an affordable way to get into sailing.
With careful research and inspection, it is possible to find a great catamaran at a fraction of the cost of a new one.
Understanding Your Budget
When it comes to determining your budget for a catamaran, its important to consider not only the cost of the initial purchase, but also the ongoing costs associated with maintaining and operating the vessel.
Consider your overall budget for the entire experience before making a commitment to purchase a boat.
The cost of a new catamaran will depend on its size, materials, and features.
Generally, prices for a small, basic catamaran can start around $50,000, while larger, more luxurious models can cost up to $500,000 or more.

Finally, consider the type of experience youre looking for.
Do you want a fully equipped boat, or would you prefer to purchase a basic model and upgrade it over time? Are you looking for a modern catamaran, or an older model with vintage charm? Your answers to these questions will help you determine the right catamaran for your budget.
At the end of the day, the cost of a catamaran will depend on the individual buyer’s budget and preferences.
With careful planning and research, its possible to find the perfect catamaran for your needs and budget.
Researching and Shopping for a Catamaran

If you are in the market for a new catamaran, you should start by researching the different types of models that are available.
It is important to understand the differences between monohulls and catamarans, and the pros and cons of each.

Extra Considerations to Keep in Mind
When it comes to purchasing a catamaran, there are a few extra considerations to keep in mind.
First, the cost of a catamaran will also depend on its intended use.
For example, if the boat is going to be used primarily for racing, it will likely be much more expensive than one used for leisurely cruising.
Additionally, the size of the boat is an important factor to consider since larger catamarans can be more expensive to maintain and operate than smaller ones.
Moreover, the cost of a catamaran can also be affected by its features.
Many catamarans come with amenities such as air conditioning, refrigerators, and other luxury items, which can significantly increase the cost of the boat.
Furthermore, some catamarans may also require specialized equipment and accessories, such as autopilot systems and radar, which can add to the overall cost.
Finally, it is important to factor in the cost of insurance when planning a catamaran purchase.
Insurance policies for boats can be expensive, so it is important to do research and compare rates from different companies before making a decision.
Overall, the cost of a catamaran will depend on a variety of factors, including size, materials, features, and intended use.
Additionally, buyers should keep in mind the cost of insurance and any specialized equipment or accessories when planning a catamaran purchase.
Financing a Catamaran
When shopping for a catamaran, its important to consider all the costs involved, including the cost of financing.
Depending on your budget and credit score, there are several financing options available to help cover the cost of a catamaran.
For those with a good credit score, a bank loan or credit card can be used to finance a catamaran purchase.
Bank loans typically offer the lowest interest rates, but it can take several weeks or even months to receive the funds.
Credit cards tend to have higher interest rates, but they can provide a quick and easy way to pay for a catamaran.
For those with less-than-perfect credit, there are several other financing options available.
Private lenders may be willing to provide financing for a catamaran purchase, although the terms and conditions of these loans may not be as favorable as those offered by a bank or credit card.
Leasing a catamaran is another option for those with tight budgets.
Leasing a catamaran allows you to use the vessel without having to pay the full purchase price up front.
However, its important to keep in mind that you will still have to make regular payments on the lease.
Finally, if youre looking for a more budget-friendly option, you can consider purchasing a used catamaran.
Used catamarans tend to be much less expensive than new ones, and you can often find good deals on used models.
You should, however, take time to inspect the vessel thoroughly before making a purchase.
No matter your budget or credit score, there are financing options available to help cover the cost of a catamaran.
Taking the time to explore all of your options and understanding the terms and conditions of any loan or lease you take out will help ensure you make the best decision for your needs.
Final Thoughts
Overall, the cost of a catamaran will depend on the size, features, and materials you want.
Prices for new catamarans can range from $50,000 to $500,000 or more, while used catamarans can often be found for a fraction of the cost.
Before making a purchase, its important to research and understand your budget, so you can find the right catamaran for you.
Now that you have a better understanding of how much a catamaran costs, youre one step closer to living out your dreams of sailing the open seas.

How Much Does a Catamaran Cost? A Comprehensive Guide
Catamarans are a popular choice for those who love sailing and boating. They offer a unique and stable experience on the water, making them ideal for long journeys and extended stays. However, one of the most common questions that people have when considering buying a catamaran is how much it will cost.

New cruising catamarans can cost between $200,000 and $1,000,000, with an average price of about $500,000. Used cruising catamarans, on the other hand, can cost between $200,000 and $600,000. Small recreational catamarans, usually under 20 feet in length, can cost under $50,000.
It’s important to note that the cost of a catamaran isn’t just limited to the initial purchase price. There are also ongoing expenses to consider, such as maintenance, fuel, and storage fees.
In this article, we’ll take a closer look at the factors that can impact the cost of a catamaran, as well as some tips for finding the best deals and ensuring that you’re getting the most for your money.
Factors Affecting Catamaran Cost
When it comes to purchasing a catamaran, there are several factors that can affect the cost. Here are some of the most important factors that you should consider:
One of the most significant factors that affect the cost of a catamaran is its size. The larger the catamaran, the more expensive it will be.
A smaller catamaran can cost anywhere from $10,000 to $30,000, while a larger catamaran can cost upwards of $500,000.
Make and Model
The make and model of the catamaran can also have a significant impact on its price. Some brands are known for producing high-quality catamarans that are more expensive than others.
For example, a new Lagoon catamaran can cost anywhere from $350,000 to $1,000,000, while a new Leopard catamaran can cost between $300,000 and $600,000.
The condition of the catamaran is another important factor to consider. A well-maintained catamaran will be more expensive than one that needs a lot of work.
If you’re considering purchasing a used catamaran, it’s important to have it inspected by a professional to ensure that it’s in good condition.
The location of the catamaran can also affect its cost. Catamarans in popular sailing destinations, such as the Caribbean or the Mediterranean, may be more expensive than those in less popular locations.
Additional Costs
Keep in mind that there are additional costs associated with owning a catamaran, such as maintenance, repairs, and mooring fees.
These costs can add up quickly, so it’s important to factor them into your budget when considering the overall cost of a catamaran.
New vs. Used Catamarans
When considering buying a catamaran, one important decision to make is whether to buy a new or used vessel. There are pros and cons to both options and ultimately the decision will depend on your individual needs and budget.
Buying a new catamaran can be a great option for those who want the latest and greatest features and technology. New catamarans often come with warranties and the peace of mind that comes with knowing you are the first owner.
However, new catamarans can be quite expensive, with prices ranging from $200,000 to $1,000,000, with an average price of about $500,000 for cruising catamarans.
On the other hand, buying a used catamaran can be a more affordable option, with prices ranging from $200,000 to $600,000 for cruising catamarans. Used catamarans may not have all the latest features and technology, but they can still be a great option for those who want to get out on the water without breaking the bank.
Additionally, used catamarans have already gone through the initial depreciation period, so you may be able to sell it for a similar price to what you paid for it.
When buying a used catamaran, it’s important to do your research and have a thorough inspection done before making a purchase. Look for signs of wear and tear, and make sure all systems are in good working order.
It’s also important to consider the age of the vessel and any potential maintenance or repair costs that may come up down the line.
Ultimately, whether you choose to buy a new or used catamaran will depend on your individual needs and budget. Consider all the factors and do your research to make an informed decision that will allow you to enjoy your time on the water to the fullest.
Average Cost of Catamarans
When it comes to buying a catamaran, the cost can vary widely depending on several factors. The size, age, make, and model of the catamaran all play a role in determining the final price. Here are some average costs to give you an idea of what you can expect to pay:
| Cruising Catamaran | $200,000 – $1,000,000 | $200,000 – $600,000 |
| Recreational Catamaran | N/A | Under $50,000 |
| Luxury Catamaran | $1,000,000+ | $600,000+ |
As you can see, the cost of a new cruising catamaran can range from $200,000 to $1,000,000, with an average cost of around $500,000.
Used cruising catamarans can cost between $200,000 and $600,000. Small recreational catamarans, usually under 20 feet in length, can be purchased for under $50,000.
However, if you’re looking for a luxury catamaran, be prepared to spend a lot more. These yachts can cost well over a million dollars, with some of the most lavish models costing upwards of $22,000,000.
Keep in mind that the cost of owning a catamaran goes beyond the purchase price. You’ll also need to factor in ongoing maintenance, insurance, docking fees, and other expenses.
It’s important to budget accordingly to ensure that you can afford to keep your catamaran in good condition and enjoy it for years to come.

It’s important to note that these prices are just estimates and can vary depending on the catamaran’s specific model, equipment, and condition.
Additionally, there are other popular catamaran brands out there, such as Catana and Outremer, which may have different price ranges.
When budgeting for a catamaran, it’s also important to consider the ongoing costs of ownership, such as maintenance, insurance, and docking fees. These costs can add up quickly and should be factored into your decision-making process.
How Much Is Catamaran Insurance?
If you own a catamaran or are planning to buy one, you might be wondering how much it will cost you to insure it. Catamaran insurance is a type of marine insurance that covers your boat against various risks, such as theft, fire, collision, sinking, storm damage, and liability.
The cost of catamaran insurance depends on several factors, such as the value of your boat, the size and age of your boat, the sailing area and season, the type and level of coverage, and your claims history.
The average cost of catamaran insurance is between 1% and 3% of the boat’s value per year. This means that if your catamaran is worth $500,000, you can expect to pay between $5,000 and $15,000 per year for insurance.
However, this is just a rough estimate and the actual cost may vary depending on your specific situation and the insurance company you choose.
Some of the factors that can affect the cost of catamaran insurance are:
- The value of your boat : The higher the value of your boat, the higher the premium you will pay. This is because the insurance company will have to pay more in case of a total loss or major damage. However, boats valued over $500,000 may enjoy a lower premium rate of around 1.2% due to their higher quality and lower risk.
- The size and age of your boat : The larger and older your boat, the more expensive it will be to insure. This is because larger boats have more systems and equipment that can break down or malfunction and older boats may have more wear and tear or hidden defects that can lead to problems. For example, a 50-foot catamaran will cost more to insure than a 40-foot catamaran and a 10-year-old catamaran will cost more to insure than a 5-year-old catamaran.
- The sailing area and season : The sailing area and season can affect the cost of catamaran insurance due to the different risks and hazards involved. For example, sailing in hurricane-prone areas or during hurricane season will increase your premium due to the higher chance of storm damage. Sailing in remote or exotic locations may also increase your premium due to the higher cost of repairs or rescue services. On the other hand, sailing in safer or more familiar areas or during the off-season may lower your premium due to the lower risk involved.
- The type and level of coverage : The type and level of coverage you choose for your catamaran insurance will also affect the cost. There are different types of coverage available for catamarans, such as hull coverage, liability coverage, personal effects coverage, medical payments coverage, towing, assistance coverage, etc. Each type of coverage has its own limits and deductibles that you can adjust according to your needs and budget. Generally speaking, the more comprehensive and higher the coverage you choose, the more expensive it will be.
- Your claims history : Your claims history can also influence the cost of catamaran insurance. If you have made previous claims for your boat or other vehicles, you may be considered a higher risk by the insurance company and pay a higher premium. Conversely, if you have a clean claims record or no claims bonus, you may be rewarded with a lower premium.
As you can see, there is no definitive answer to how much catamaran insurance costs. It depends on many factors that vary from case to case.
The best way to find out how much it will cost you is to get quotes from different insurance companies and compare them. You can also use online calculators or tools to get an estimate based on some basic information about your boat.
Additional Costs to Consider
When purchasing a catamaran, it’s important to consider the additional costs that come with owning and maintaining it. Here are some of the most common additional costs to keep in mind:
- Survey Costs: Before buying a catamaran, it’s important to have it surveyed by a professional to ensure that it is in good condition. The cost of a survey will depend on the size of the boat and the location, but it can range from a few hundred to a few thousand dollars. Additionally, if the boat is located far away from your home, you will need to factor in the cost of travel, lodging, and food for the surveyor.
- Maintenance: A catamaran requires regular maintenance to keep it in good condition. This can include things like cleaning, painting, and replacing parts as needed. The cost of maintenance will depend on the size and age of the boat, as well as the type of maintenance required. On average, you can expect to spend around 10% of the purchase price of the boat per year on maintenance.
- Mooring and Docking Fees: If you plan to keep your catamaran at a marina or dock, you will need to pay mooring or docking fees. The cost of these fees will depend on the location and the amenities provided by the marina or dock. On average, you can expect to pay around $500 to $1,000 per month for mooring or docking fees.
- Taxes: Depending on where you live, you may need to pay sales tax or use tax on your catamaran. The amount of tax you will need to pay will depend on the purchase price of the boat and the tax rate in your state or country.
These are just a few of the additional costs to consider when purchasing a catamaran. It’s important to factor in these costs when budgeting for your purchase to ensure that you can afford to own and maintain your boat.
After looking at various sources, it is clear that the cost of owning and living on a catamaran can vary greatly depending on a number of factors. The size, age, and condition of the catamaran, as well as the location and lifestyle choices of the owner, can all impact the overall cost.
On average, a new catamaran can cost around $144,000 for a 30-foot model, while a used one can range from $29,000 to $134,000. The yearly costs of owning and maintaining a catamaran can also vary greatly, with expenses like repair and maintenance, boat insurance, and mooring fees adding up to an average of $36,250 per year.
When it comes to living on a catamaran, the cost can range from $500 to $2,000 per month for a couple and up to $5,000 per month for a family of four. This includes expenses like maintenance, food, entertainment, and other lifestyle choices.
It is important to note that these are just averages and that individual costs can vary greatly based on personal choices and circumstances. However, with proper planning and budgeting, owning and living on a catamaran can be a rewarding and fulfilling experience.

- A high-end luxury yacht may cost significantly more than a basic production yacht with standard features and finishes.
- A new yacht with low engine hours and minimal wear and tear may command a higher price than an older yacht.
- Hiring a surveyor can help you save money in the long run by identifying any potential problems before you purchase the yacht.
- Fuel costs can add up quickly, since a 50-foot yacht with twin diesel engines uses almost 20–30 gallons of fuel per hour.

The purchase price of a 50-foot yacht varies depending on the model
Different models of yachts may have different features, amenities, and capabilities, which can affect their value and appeal to buyers . A high-end luxury yacht with state-of-the-art technology, custom finishes, and top-of-the-line appliances may cost significantly more than a basic production yacht with standard features and finishes.
Similarly, a newer yacht with low engine hours and minimal wear and tear may command a higher price than an older yacht with more use and maintenance requirements. Yachts located in popular boating destinations or areas with high demand may be priced higher than those in less desirable locations.
Here are some examples of different yacht models, their amenities, and estimated prices:
| Spacious cockpit, large swim platform, modern interior, air conditioning, generator | ||
| Comfortable saloon, large galley, spacious cabins, teak decks, bow thruster | ||
| Dual helms, spacious cockpit, large swim platform, modern interior, air conditioning | ||

Sales tax and registration fees
When you purchase a yacht, you will need to pay sales tax and registration fees. In some states, you may be able to avoid paying sales tax if you purchase the yacht in a different state and keep it there.
In Florida, the sales tax rate is 6% , but there is a cap of $18,000 on the amount of tax you will pay. So if you purchase a yacht for $500,000, you will only pay $18,000 in sales tax.
On the other hand, registration fees are the fees you need to pay to register your yacht with the state where you plan to operate it. The fees are typically used to fund marine programs, such as boating safety education, law enforcement, and conservation efforts.
Some states charge a flat fee, while others charge based on the length of the yacht. In some cases, the registration fees may also be based on the age or value of the yacht. These fees are typically renewed annually, and failure to renew your registration can result in penalties or fines.
Registration fees in Florida for a yacht over 110 feet in length can be as high as $4,000 per year. However, for a yacht under 16 feet in length, the registration fee is only $5 per year.
Survey and inspection costs
A survey and inspection is essentially a thorough examination of the yacht by a professional surveyor. The surveyor will inspect the vessel from top to bottom, looking for any issues or potential problems that could affect the yacht's seaworthiness or value. This includes checking the hull, deck, rigging, electrical systems, plumbing, and more.
For smaller yachts, the cost may be a few hundred dollars, while larger and more complex yachts could cost several thousand dollars.
By identifying any potential problems before you purchase the yacht, you can negotiate with the seller or even decide not to purchase the yacht altogether. In the long run, this can save you money and help ensure that you're making a sound investment.
Insurance and financing costs
Insurance rates can vary widely, but you can expect to pay a premium for coverage. The higher the value of the yacht, the higher the insurance premium will be.
As for financing, the interest rates for yacht loans are typically higher than those for home or car loans. This is because yachts are considered luxury items and are often seen as a higher-risk investment. The interest rate you'll be offered will depend on your credit score, income, and the amount of the loan you're seeking.
Aside from the upfront costs, there are also hidden costs beyond the initial purchase price. Here are some hidden costs you should be aware of:
| $10,000 - $50,000 | |
| $50,000 - $150,000 | |
| $10,000 - $100,000+ | |
Environmental and regulatory compliance
Owning a yacht also comes with environmental and regulatory compliance costs. You may need to pay for permits to dock your yacht in certain areas, or you may need to invest in equipment to comply with environmental regulations. These costs can add up quickly and may not be immediately apparent when you're considering purchasing a yacht.
Crew and staffing costs
If you plan to use your yacht frequently, you'll likely need to hire a crew to help you maintain and operate it. Crew and staffing costs can include salaries, benefits, and insurance, and can be a significant expense over time. Additionally, you may need to pay for crew training and certification , which can add to the overall cost of owning a yacht.

Costs of upgrades and customizations
While a 50-foot yacht may come equipped with many standard features, you may want to add additional amenities or customize the interior to your liking. These upgrades can be expensive and may not be covered by your initial purchase price.
Upgrades and customizations can range from relatively minor changes such as adding a new sound system or upgrading the navigation equipment, to more extensive modifications such as adding a new deck or completely redesigning the interior of the yacht. The cost of these upgrades will be based on the extent of the modifications and the materials and labor involved.
In this section, we will discuss the ongoing costs of owning a 50-foot yacht.
| $10,000 - $30,000 | |
| $5,000 - $15,000 | |
| $10,000 - $20,000 | |
| $5,000 - $10,000 | |
| $5,000 - $10,000 | |
Maintenance and repair costs
Regular maintenance helps keep your yacht in good condition and prevents costly repairs. Some common maintenance and repair costs include:
- Engine maintenance
- Hull cleaning and painting
- Electrical and plumbing repairs
- Sail and rigging repairs: ( Here's an article on the cost of replacing a standing rigging )
- Interior and exterior cleaning
Docking and storage fees
Some common docking and storage fees include:
- Monthly slip rental fees: These fees cover the cost of renting a slip at a marina or dock for your yacht to be moored. Slip rental fees can range from a few hundred to several thousand dollars per month.
- Winter storage fees: During the off-season, many yacht owners choose to store their vessels on land to protect them from the elements. The cost of winter storage can range from a few hundred to several thousand dollars per season.
- Launch and haul-out fees: These fees cover the cost of launching your yacht into the water and hauling it out for maintenance or storage, and vary based on the location and the size of your yacht.
- Electricity and water fees: Many marinas charge additional fees for the use of electricity and water while your yacht is in the slip.
Fuel and operating costs
A 50-foot yacht typically has twin engines, which can be either gasoline or diesel. Diesel engines are generally more fuel-efficient and have a longer lifespan than gasoline engines, but they are also more expensive to purchase and maintain.
On average, a 50-foot yacht with twin diesel engines will use about 20-30 gallons of fuel per hour, while a gasoline-powered yacht will use about 40-50 gallons per hour.
Routine maintenance such as oil changes, filter replacements, and hull cleaning is part of the overall operating costs and will cost several thousand dollars per year. More significant repairs or upgrades, such as engine overhauls or electronics replacements, can cost tens of thousands of dollars.
Costs for insurance and maintenance reserves
Insurance can protect you from liability and damage to your yacht, while maintenance reserves can help cover unexpected repairs. Some common insurance and maintenance reserve costs include:
- Liability insurance
- Hull and machinery insurance
- Personal property insurance
- Emergency repairs and reserves
Here are some tips to help you manage the costs of owning a 50-foot yacht:
Create a budget and stick to it
Your budget should include all of the costs associated with owning and maintaining your yacht, including mooring fees, insurance, fuel, maintenance, and repairs. Try to plan for unexpected costs, such as emergency repairs or unexpected upgrades.
You should also plan ahead for seasonal expenses, such as winterizing your yacht when the boating season is over . By creating a budget and planning ahead, you can avoid surprises and ensure that you have the funds necessary to keep your yacht in top condition.
Do the basic maintenance and repairs by yourself
While there are some tasks that require a professional, such as engine repairs or electrical work, there are many things you can do yourself with a little knowledge and the right tools.
By doing your own maintenance and repairs, you can save money on labor costs and ensure that your yacht is always in top condition. You can also take pride in knowing that you are taking care of your investment and keeping it in great shape.
Consider sharing and chartering options
If you don't use your yacht all the time, you may want to consider sharing or chartering options as a way to offset the costs of ownership. Sharing your yacht with friends or family members can help split the costs of maintenance and repairs while chartering your yacht to others can help generate income.
There are many websites and companies that specialize in yacht sharing and chartering where you can find an option that works best for you. Just be sure to carefully vet anyone who will be using your yacht to ensure that they are responsible and will take good care of your investment.
Learn some selling and trading strategies
If you find that the costs of owning a 50-foot yacht are too high or you are ready to move on to something else, you may want to consider selling or trading your yacht. There are many strategies you can use to get the best price for your yacht, including working with a broker, advertising online, or attending boat shows.
If you are interested in trading your yacht for something else, perhaps carefully consider your options and work with a reputable dealer. By using these strategies, you can ensure that you get the best value for your investment and can move on to your next adventure with confidence.

These amazing boats are both luxurious and practical, allowing for several types of sailing experience. From huge luxury yachts for long-term sailing and huge parties to small practical ships that are great for a quick trip down the coast, these ships are sure to keep everyone happy. New Versus Used Ctamarains:Like always, it’s good to take the pros and cons into consideration for both new and used boats. One of the biggest cons of a new catamaran is that it is incredibly expensive. You may want that brand-new, never been used feel to your boat, but you may also find that nothing fits your budget. Instead, there are a lot of loved and well-cared-for used catamarans out there that will do the job credibly, and are usually refurbished or updated from their original model year. Many of the boats on our list have updated motors, solar panels that power their generators and updated GPS or autopilot features. Regardless of how old the boat is, most likely you’ll end up with something carefully remade to fit each captain’s needs and wants! You also want to make sure that when purchasing a used boat, you carefully inspect it for any issues or flaws. Especially if you are buying a higher-priced used boat , you will possibly want to consider getting it inspected by a marine inspector. These people are trained to look for any and all issues in the mechanics, hull, and overall integrity of a used boat. A boat is a very big commitment and you will want to make sure that you are purchasing one that is worth the money spent. You also want to make sure that you know any immediate problems that may need to be fixed before you make the purchase so you can decide if those repairs are in the budget. Don’t forget to take your own needs into consideration, and purchase a boat that you believe will not only work well for you but also will be easily customized to your personality and style. Always consider what you’re looking for in a boat, and what will make you happiest both for your lifestyle, and your budget! With so many amazing boats to choose from, how can you go wrong?  Because of their stability, catamarans are good vessels for combating seasickness as well as transportation. From racing to leisure, these ships are perfect for any boating lifestyle. Here’s an in-depth guide we wrote on how to avoid being seasick and here’s exactly how catamarans stack up against other boat types when it comes to seasickness . Mono-hull boats can be loud and rough but with a catamaran, you receive a smooth ride. You can stay on the water longer, and go farther. You’ll come back with more energy and fewer bruises. And, along with that comfort, you’ll have the confidence to head out in conditions that keep other boaters at the shore. Catamarans also have multi-use, not just multihulls! They can be used to ferry people from place to place as well as vehicles and cargo! Finally, a catamaran can be perfect for getting from one island to another. Catamarans are all-around great boats, and that’s why we know you’re dying to get one! Click to share...

Outremer 55Outremer 55 Owner’s Review Thanks to Marijke and Mark from Cat Greatcircle for their help on this extremely thorough owner’s review of the Outremer 55. I hope you enjoy it as much as we did! This is very comprehensive feedback from two experienced sailors. We have pulled out some key points below, but we encourage you to read the whole article, as it has some fantastic insights into the Outremer 55 and performance catamarans in general. Some Key Points
 Full ReviewReading time: 20mins Can you tell us a bit about yourself and your Outremer 55 catamaran? You’ve crossed the Atlantic and the Pacific so far, right? What is the plan now from NZ? Marijke has been sailing monohulls since she was 6. After we met in 1997 we started sailing together, first on chartered monohulls in several sailing areas of the world. Later Marijke bought her former Rival 34 back and we sailed around Holland in it. Nice boat but a bit small, so in 2015 we decided to buy our first cat, a Lagoon 39 and sailed it from France to above the Arctic Circle in Norway. As we were really enjoying the liveaboard life, after a year we upgraded to a Lagoon 52S and sailed it almost full-time for 3.5 years in the Med and crossed the Atlantic to the Caribbean and back to Holland. Just before our first Atlantic crossing, we had already signed up for the brand new Outremer 55, hull number 4. At that time the boat only existed on paper, but it already promised to be the ultimate combination of comfort, performance and looks. The second Greatcircle was delivered mid 2021, just before the departure of the GLYWO500 rally, a rally with around 30 boats circumnavigating the globe. In the meantime, we’ve sailed over 18.000 nautical miles with the Outremer 55, from the South of France via the Panama Canal to New Zealand. At the end of March 2023, we will start the second half of the rally back to the Med. The route will take us via New Caledonia, Vanuatu, Australia, Indonesia to Mauritius and then South Africa this year. Next year we will cross via Sint Helena to Brazil and then via the Carib and the Azores to Lisbon.  Why did you choose the Outremer 55? Was it the helm position, the performance or the living space for example? Which layout did you go for? (eg the desk in the front cabin?) We have been looking at all of the cats on the market regularly since 2015. The Lagoon 39 was a perfect cat to start on and get used to the particulars of a catamaran. At that time we already thought it was huge (at least compared to our Rival 34 that is still in front of our house). The upgrade to the L52S was easier than expected and the sailing characteristics and motion comfort were already way better than on the L39. The L52S is probably the best sailing Lagoon ever built. After 3 years on the L52S, we decided to make another step in preparation for a circumnavigation and had a thorough look at the available brands and models on the market. We were not looking for the fastest or lightest cat on the market as we are not racers but cruisers. We know that for boats on the lower end of the weight scale, comfort has to suffer both in terms of the equipment and in terms of motion comfort. In the end, we chose between two boats that only existed on paper, a Lagoon 55 and the Outremer 55. In hindsight it was love at first sight when we saw the design of the Outremer. That Lagoon stopped producing Sport-tops for their bigger models probably didn’t help either as we are sailing the boat double-handed most of the time. We had no need for a flybridge, and it doesn’t help the sailing characteristics either. The new Outremer has half the weight of the Lagoon, and much more space and headroom in comparison to the previous generation. We chose the three-cabin version with an owner’s hull and a normal front cabin in the guest hull.  When was she launched? 2021 right? How was the buying and building process? The build of the very first Outremer 55 was started in the second half of 2020 and we followed the production of the first 4 hulls very closely. We even rented an apartment in La Grande Motte to document the whole process and to discuss the different choices and options with the local experts. Dealing directly with the manufacturer is quite different from what we were used to before with Lagoon in their dealer model. We loved being able to shape the boat to our wishes, but also to learn from experienced sailors with another background. Greatcircle was launched in April and finished and optimised in the months thereafter. It’s nice to see that experiences and improvements found on the first three hulls were immediately transferred to our boat as well. Initially, we were OK with not having hull number one but to be honest we were surprised by the level that they were already able to reach building the very first copy of a completely new generation of yachts.  Outremer is also known for its sail training and owner community. Any feedback on that? eg Ladies Day. As we visited La Grande Motte a lot we met many existing and future Outremer owners. In addition to the pure performance-oriented sailors that already knew Outremer, more and more sailors like us started to explore the 55. Many of them already saw our YouTube videos on the Lagoons and/or the videos from the design and build phase of the new Greatcircle. They reached out to us via Instagram and Messenger to discuss the pros and cons of the boat in general and of the different choices to make in the configuration process. It’s a lot of fun to be involved in discussions like that and it has helped us as well to re-evaluate our own choices based on the experience of others. Outremer Week is a very successful concept, twice a year now, where customers can learn a lot about all kinds of topics from manoeuvring in port to medical training to engine maintenance. It’s a perfect way to get to know a lot of other Outremer owners as well. Even though Marijke, as a female captain, might not be in the core target group of Ladies Day, she was very impressed by the way experienced female sailors like Nikki Henderson transferred their knowledge. It seems very important, especially on longer offshore cruising expeditions that the tasks on board can be shared by multiple people on board.  What’s the best thing about Greatcircle? To us, it’s the best compromise between comfort, performance and looks available on the market. We have all the equipment we had on the Lagoon, we still have plenty of space, headroom and storage space and we’re crossing oceans 20-30% faster than we were used to. And as a bonus, the boat looks stunning. If there was one thing that you would change, what would that be? Or wouldn’t you change anything? We have already sold our current Greatcircle for the end of 2024. We have reached an agreement on a new Outremer 55 some time ago. The specs would be nearly the same as we were pretty pleased with the choices we’ve made on the current one. One item we would like to optimise is that we want to expand the situations in which it is possible to sail the boat single-handed. For instance regarding reefing and furling the downwind gennaker when the sail is on port. We’re discussing this with Outremer, it’s still too early to tell but there might be a surprise outcome of this discussion. Does she carry weight well, or do you have to be careful to not overload her with gear? The Outremer 55 has plenty of payload. We have everything on board you could wish for and there is still 2,5 tonnes of payload remaining even when fully loaded with water and fuel! More performance-oriented owners of a 55 have an even lighter boat (about a ton lighter) but during the GLYWO500 we’ve seen that the differences in average speed are marginal. What are the “Must Have” Options when buying new in your opinion? eg Carbon cross-beam, carbon mast, watermaker (Dessalator), the convertible table in the saloon, generator (10,000i Fischer?), solar, carbon options, a/c, Esthec decking, extra invertor, extra freezer, water filter, scirocco fans, special galley worktop, Raymarine remote, induction plate, washing machine, folding props, ZF throttles, electric winches, windlass controller at helm For offshore cruising a water maker (preferably a backup water maker too) and a second autopilot are a must have. The other options depend on the personal preferences of the owner. I would recommend not having gas on board. In most cases, the 2000+ watts of solar are enough to cover the energy demand. In periods of bad weather, you still need a backup power source. We chose the genset over charging with engines and/or a hydrogenerator.  Can you give us an idea of what is in your sail locker? Which sails are your favourite? Gennaker, Spinnaker, Code 0, A2 Spinnaker etc We chose the DFI mainsail and self-tacking jib (solent) from Incidence as they are lighter (and Marijke likes black sails :-)). We didn’t choose the staysail/trinquette option and so far we never had a situation where we needed it. As the 55 doesn’t need to be reefed very early the solent functions perfectly fine in all conditions we would like to sail in. We never had to furl the solent, a couple of turns so far. Sailing around the world along the traditional routes there’s a lot of trade wind / downwind sailing. You need to have some flexibility and redundancy in the front sails. We use the (flat and not too big) Code 0 both (close) reaching and downwind depending on the circumstances. Both this Code 0 and the downwind gennaker are perfect in changing conditions where it might be necessary to furl the sail now and then. The A2 asymmetrical spinnaker is the perfect sail in lighter breezes, we use it to sail starting from three knots apparent wind. After 18.000 miles our engines still have only 350 hours ….. The S3 heavy duty symmetrical spi is made of polyester and we use it to sail almost dead downwind in breezes from 15 knots true. Most of the time we hoist in on the lower halyard and use it without the mainsail. You can leave it up during a squall, we had up to 40 knots of true wind without a problem. What are the “Nice-to-Have Options”? As discussed the 55 is not very sensitive for a bit more weight. So I would say there is a long list of nice-to-have options that I would recommend. I love the carbon cross, as it makes the boat look fantastic. We choose induction cooking, a combi oven, a dishwasher, a full washer/dryer, aircon, a line driver for the main traveller and all electrical winches. As indicated we also have a genset.  Which options did you “pass” on? For the mast, we chose the non-rotating carbon mast. Reduces complexity and maintenance compared to a rotating one and the performance difference is again marginal. How are the electrics, plumbing etc? Can you give us an idea of how you set your power system up, the amount of solar (over 2kW right?), hydrogeneration, lithium battery set up (200Ah/battery?) etc? How long can you stay autonomous on power? How often do you use the genset? We have three lithium batteries totalling 16,5 kWh. In normal circumstances, the 2048 watts of solar are enough to charge the batteries during daylight and to cover the total energy demand. On anchor, it’s almost always enough. Upfront we didn’t realize though that during the longer crossings the sails quite often cover the solar panels. In hindsight, we’re pretty happy that we stuck to our decision to install a genset to generate extra power when we need it. We installed 2 mass-combis so the genset can charge the batteries very efficiently, so far it has run for 130 hours only. Is she easy to maintain? Servicing engines, standing rigging etc. You have had a few challenges to deal with on your circumnavigation so far, right? The regular maintenance so far after 1.5 years has been very limited. Of course, stuff breaks now and then, and in those cases it’s fantastic to be part of the Glywo500 rally where every couple of months a whole maintenance team is flown in to bring the boats back into perfect shape. We did have a couple of incidents during our trip. The worst one was in Aruba when we were hit while asleep on anchor by a 70-ton tourist boat doing around 8 knots. Luckily nobody was injured, but the whole carbon cross was damaged beyond repair. Without an extraordinary effort from Outremer, this would have meant the end of our rally. An Outremer team and the necessary parts were flown in, and within a month we were up and running again trying to catch up with the fleet before they left the Galapagos. During this chase, we had a second incident while passing through the Panama canal. While rafted to two other boats and steering on the port side, the starboard gearbox cable broke with the gearbox in the forward position. Pulling the throttle backward only made the boat go faster forward and the raft hit the wall before we even knew what the problem was. Easy to fix, very lucky that we could give it another go the next day, enough wind from Panama to the Galapagos and we managed to arrive there the day before the departure date of the fleet…. The third incident happened in Fiji where we just hit a reef with the port rudder tip and the rudder system broke. The rally brings you to poorly charted waters and due to the distances in some legs it’s not always possible to sail out in perfect (light) conditions only. Sometimes if you wait longer to start the leg, you will arrive in the dark. We could have avoided this incident if we had motored along the advised route instead of following the boats in front of us sailing. We managed to stop the water ingress and were able to continue cruising, hopping from the east to the west side of Fiji where the boat could be lifted and repaired.  Is she easy to sail short-handed? To shorten sail? Is the running rigging complex? Do all the lines lead back to the helms, for example? What is the “German Sheeting” setup? You reef from the port side, right? In all situations, we can sail the boat double-handed (most of the time it’s only the 2 of us on board). In many situations, the boat can be sailed single-handed. In general, I don’t think we would use the spinnakers single-handed. In our current setup you need two people to reef the main and to furl the gennaker or Code 0 when the sail is on port (the furling line of the front furler is on starboard). The way we have set up the reefing system with reef lines on the back of the sail only 1 person has to go to the mast to apply or remove the loops for the luff of the main. You can control the main sheet on both helm stations and also use the line driver to control the main traveller on both sides (and from the cockpit). In general, the boat is on autopilot while navigating from either the saloon or the cockpit. If the sails need some adjusting you walk towards the port helm station. Only when the bigger front sails are on starboard you will use the helm station on starboard. Is it easy to lower and raise the daggerboards and furl the head sails? You had some problems with the gennaker I think? You have a line driver for the traveller I see. Controlling the dagger boards is very easy, as is controlling the main. Indeed we did have some problems furling and unfurling the downwind gennaker. The sail is pretty round and you need to pay attention not to entangle the sail in itself. In the meantime, we know how to prevent this from happening but still looking for ways to make this more foolproof (other furler?). The line driver is a perfect option. Electronic buttons will be installed on both helm stations so you can easily control the traveller from the helm station while reefing or gybing. What’s she like in heavy weather / a blow / big seas? How is the ride in general? (pitch/roll) We didn’t have real heavy weather yet. Most of the time the wind has been below 40 knots and the waves haven’t been over 4 meters yet. In these circumstances, the boat feels pretty relaxed and comfortable. Compared to our previous cat the thinner hulls slice through the water and the Outremer can maintain a higher constant speed. There’s a lot less noise in general and a lot less slamming of waves against the hull.  How are the helm positions? Good in weather? How is the visibility when docking? Those swing helms look great, which position do you use the most? I like the feet steering option 😉 The two helm stations are really good when manoeuvring. You can see all 4 corners of the cat from either one of them and just choose the most suitable helm station when docking. During cruising we often put 1 of the steering wheels (partly) inside the cockpit, especially in bad weather when we close up the cockpit tent. The boat will normally be on autopilot but if something happens or if there’s a glitch of the AP you can reach the steering wheel very quickly. The benches at the helm station are very comfortable and ideal for catching the breeze, watching the waves and looking out for sea life. How does she sail in light winds? You can sail the boat starting from 3 knots of apparent wind. How does she sail close-hauled? How high does she point to true in a good sea state? Close-hauled she sails as high as a decent monohull but at a much higher speed. If the sea is flat sometimes you’re able to reach an even higher VMG by using the Code 0 instead of the solent and sailing a bit lower. So far it seems that with both sails you reach optimal VMG at around 38 degrees apparent. Typically, what’s your average speed on passage? What’s the top speed you have logged surfing? Talking about your top surfing speed is nice during anchor shots but is not so relevant for us. Our all-time high was set on the L52S doing 27,2 knots surfing of 3 consecutive waves. On the Outremer, we’ve surfed over 26 knots. It’s the higher average speed during crossings that makes the real difference. Out the L52S we used to calculate 190 miles per day (downwind or reaching as upwind it will be a lot less). On the Outremer 55 we calculate with 230 miles per day on average and it doesn’t make a big difference whether this is upwind or downwind. We crossed over 2000 miles from Cabo Verde to Barbados in 9 days and needed 13 days for the 3200 nm for the Pacific crossing from the Galapagos to Nuku Hiva. What’s she like under power? Speed, manoeuvrability? 60 HP Volvo engines, right? We don’t use the engines a lot but in general, the 60HP Volvo engines are fine to manoeuvre the boat. As we don’t have a bow thruster it does make sense to anticipate what you’re planning to do as the bows tend to react to crosswinds. If we use the engines while cruising we only use 1 engine, often at very low RPM using 1 to 2 liters per hour at 6 knots. Is she easy to dock? How’s the windage coming in, any tips? As mentioned above you have to anticipate the bows reacting on crosswinds What is she like at anchor? What anchor/chain setup did you go for? 70m chain, 50m rope right? We chose the Force 7 lighter chain with a nice and shiny 35 kg Ultra anchor. Indeed 70 meters of chain plus 50 meters of rope. We haven’t used the rope yet. What’s she like when it’s raining hard? I like the way the clears fix down outside the helms When it’s raining we just close up the clears, and tilt one moveable helm inside. Both from the cockpit and the saloon you have perfect 360 degrees of vision so you only need to go out to adjust the sails and/or reefing. Is she comfortable up top and down below? Cabins/saloon/galley/heads. Can you give us an idea of the configuration you went for? The island in the galley looks great. Electric heads? Wood option down below right? We chose a three “burner” induction plate and a combi microwave/oven. Works fine, I think the limitations are more on our side than related to the equipment. We have a freezer and a double refrigerator. We also installed a dishwasher and an extra water filter. The space in the owner’s hull is more than enough, the beds are also nice and wide. We can’t walk around the bed like we could on our previous cat of course. The bathroom can compete with the one we had on the Lagoon and the spacy shower with rain shower and over 2m headroom is just perfect. When we were visiting the interior designer Franck Darnet we found a different kind of wood and applied it to both the cabin and the hulls to create a warmer atmosphere. This might be a standard price list option in the meantime. We also chose the option to implement the same Esthec flooring in both the saloon and the cockpit to emphasize that it is one big living space. The disadvantage of the Esthec in areas open to direct sunlight is that it gets REALLY hot.  Is there plenty of storage? The sail lockers look good. We still have a lot of unused storage space in the cockpit, cabin and hulls, so no complaints there. The bow compartments are huge, we use one for most of the front sails only so it’s easy to swap them. We use the other bow compartment for the lines, the toys and the spares. On the foredeck, there are two storage lockers as well. In one of them, we installed the genset. The other one contains our bikes, the mooring lines and some shades. How is the finish of the interior? Does she creak under sail? Both the extensive lamination of the deck and bulkheads and the quality of the finishing of the interior lead to a big difference in sound levels compared to our previous cat.  What is your favourite spot on the boat? Our favourite spot is in the saloon with the cabin table lowered and turned into a lounge area Is she good for hosting guests? We have the three cabin version as we’re not looking to host too many people at the same time. The guests in the port hull share a separate toilet with a sink and a shower with a sink. The bed in the aft cabin is the same as the one in the owner’s hull, the one in the front cabin is a bit less wide. What kind of modifications have you done and why? We didn’t do any major modifications that were not on the standard option list Any plans for further customisation? No What kind of dinghy/outboard do you carry? We’ve got a carbon AST Coast 340 tender , the one with the jockey seat. It carries a 20HP Honda outboard If you were to swap her for another boat, what would that be? Or maybe you wouldn’t swap her? As mentioned before, we have already sold her (from the end of 2024) and ordered a new Outremer 55!  How is the after-sales service from Outremer? It’s amazing. Instead of using too many words, I would suggest looking at the extraordinary after-sales efforts Outremer made when we were really in trouble like in Aruba in February/March last year. There’s a YouTube video on both the crash and the repairs on our channel. What I also like a lot is that in case of problems discovered on other boats, they automatically review whether these changes should be applied to other boats including the ones already delivered. As an example, we will get new carbon davits on our boat in New Caledonia to upgrade the maximum dynamic load they can endure. Are you happy with the safety aspects? Escape hatches, position of life rafts, clip-on points and so on In general we are happy with the safety aspects. We do feel more exposed at the helm station compared to our L52S and there is not a lot to hold onto when standing there in rough weather. We’re looking at options to improve this. Anything else you would add to help people thinking of buying an Outremer 55? Different people have different questions and concerns. Everybody is welcome to post questions they might have to our social media accounts on Youtube, Instagram and Facebook. How would you rate the Value for Money of an Outremer 55, bearing in mind future resale potential, quality, price and so on ? Our depreciation on the current boat will be 0 (and we could have made a profit if we would have sold it later.) Would you recommend the Grand Large Yachting World Odyssey 500 (GLYWO500)? For sure! It’s fun to travel around the world with a lot of other boats. You can help each other in case of trouble and enjoy life together on the good days. The glywo organisation takes away a significant part of the bureaucracy and the technical stops are just perfect. What is your favourite anchorage so far? Marijke’s favourite anchorage is the Bay of Virgins in the Marquesas. I really loved the anchorages in Maupiti and in the Lau Group in Fiji as well. https://www.google.com/maps/embed?pb=!1m18!1m12!1m3!1d7295.192060516966!2d-138.67447822654512!3d-10.463990020135887!2m3!1f0!2f0!3f0!3m2!1i1024!2i768!4f13.1!3m3!1m2!1s0x763a1c28d027f6dd%3A0xa6108fb93ecf7576!2sBay%20of%20Virgins!5e1!3m2!1sen!2ses!4v1679336705537!5m2!1sen!2ses Follow Cat Great CircleYou can follow Marijke and Mark on their travels on Youtube (it’s one of our favourite channels), Insta and Facebook .

How much does it cost to dock a catamaran?
 A big consideration when purchasing a catamaran is how much it will cost to moor or dock it. The cost to dock a catamaran will usually be higher than a monohull since their greater beam means they take up a lot more room than a monohull. The cost of moorage can vary greatly between different areas of the world however. Rates can also vary depending on the season (winter vs summer) if peak season is much more popular than the off-season. Besides just the cost, the availability of moorage in your desired area is something to consider as well. Since most marinas are designed primarily with monohulls in mind, they may not have much room available for catamarans. In some places, marina moorage is in such high demand that there are waiting lists to get in. If you’re looking for transient (nightly) moorage while out cruising, it will likely be easier to find that than permanent moorage. However not all marinas can accommodate large catamarans, so your options for transient moorage may be slightly less than that of a monohull. Types of Moorage: Marinas, Private Docks, Mooring BallsMarinas are the most common form of moorage, and also the most expensive – though the cost can vary wildly depending on location within the US or internationally. Marinas are often the easiest to find, having a large presence in boating guide books and apps – as well as having their own website, typically, where they list their rates, amenities and policies. In Fort Lauderdale, Florida, marina rates for a 45’ catamaran can be in the $1600 to $2000 range. In a more rural area such as Fort Pierce, Florida lower rates between $1200 to $1600 can be found. Private slips can be rented directly from owners of a slip or association, and are generally less expensive than a marina – while possibly providing fewer amenities like showers, restrooms, laundry and marina staff. Private docks in Fort Lauderdale for a 45’ catamaran will typically run $800 to $1000. In Fort Pierce the rates are more likely $600 to $800. Mooring balls are typically the lowest cost option – in the ballpark of $200 to $300 per month. A mooring ball with adequate swing room can usually fit a monohull, catamaran or powerboat equally well, so the cost is equivalent. They provide less convenience however, as you’ll have to dinghy out to the boat with supplies and provisions. It’s also important to make sure you have a very secure, chafe-free connection to the mooring ball, since it’s the only point securing your boat from being driven aground in a storm. There is a large inexpensive mooring field in Riviera Beach, Florida off Rybovich for example that has many catamarans. Marina Cost: Generally 2x Monohull CostThe cost to dock a catamaran in a marina will usually be about twice the cost of a comparable length monohull, since the catamaran’s larger beam will generally take up two slips. However, in marinas that have end ties available for catamarans, those docks will usually be only 25-50% more than a standard slip. End ties are the outer end of a pier and allow large boats to avoid having to take up two slips – however, there are only so many of these spaces available and often they will be allocated already. Smaller catamarans like a PDQ 36 or Gemini 105 with a relatively narrow beam may be able to fit into a standard slip and pay the same price as a monohull. Marina costs and configurations can vary a lot from one area to the other, or even within the same area, so it pays to look at several options. Moorage Costs By RegionCosts will vary a great deal throughout the world, but there are a few ballpark guidelines for areas that are known for being more expensive or less expensive. Within the US, popular boating areas such as Florida, the Chesapeake Bay, Pacific Northwest and California will generally be more expensive than other areas such as Texas and the Great Lakes. Even so, within the more expensive areas it’s usually possible to find cheaper moorage by traveling to a less popular area. In the Caribbean, many of the options will be mooring ball fields rather than marinas. There are marinas as well, though much of the Caribbean is in hurricane zones so special care must be taken during hurricane season. Anchoring of course, is always a popular and free option. In the Mediterranean, med moorings are common with an anchor or mooring ball for the bow and the stern backed up to a wall or walkway. In the Med, moorage prices can be very expensive since this is a popular boating area and moorage is limited. Greece is known to have lower costs than most other countries in the Med. Availability of dockageIn some areas, finding permanent moorage for a catamaran can be very challenging. Areas such as California or the Pacific Northwest often have marinas near 100% capacity and years-long waiting lists. When the wait for a monohull slip can be that long, having the additional constraints of a catamaran’s beam requirements can make the wait even longer. For this reason it’s often advisable to secure permanent moorage before purchasing a catamaran. In other areas, where catamarans are very common, finding moorage may not be as difficult. Private docks or mooring balls may be advertised through Craigslist or Facebook Marketplace, as well as word-of-mouth. Since fewer boat owners search for and reach out to private moorage owners, sometimes you can get lucky with finding a well-priced opportunity at the right time. The cost to dock a catamaran will generally be higher than a monohull, but it’s possible to find better deals if you’re flexible in considering multiple locations and options. If you plan to go cruising long-term, then setting out as soon as possible (and doing a good deal of anchoring) may be the most economical option – but it’s good to have a plan for mooring the boat while you’re preparing to set off cruising.
 By Patrick DavinPatrick is a full-time cruiser in the Pacific Northwest, sailing the waters from Seattle to Alaska. 1 reply on “How much does it cost to dock a catamaran?”Thanks for discussing what would be the expenses to dock a catamaran, especially how you can adjust it to work within your budget depending on the location and material options. It would also be nice to know what would be the dock supplies needed. I hope a good contractor can work within my budget for this project.
