Category: Sailboats l more expensive than 10,000 euros

Hey guys! Today we have a 13-metres mortary ketch with an updated inboard motor Solé 45 h.p. (2010) for only 25000 euro!

Location: France

Hull length: 13,20 meters

Unfortunately all the other dimensions are not mentioned in the original ad but you can specify it with the owner if required.

You asked for smth bigger, right? This is a unique option 🙂

This yacht is made of reinforced cement, this material is rather specific but it is used for yacht building indeed.

The engine Solé 45 h.p. was installed in 2010, the haulage is less than 900 hours.

The sails were in usage for 2 seasons only! Genoa and jib have the furler and UV protection. Mainsail and mizzen sail have lazy bag and there are also stairs on the mast.

There’s a huge amount of equipment: 2 solar panels installed on the arc, Очень много оборудования: 2 солнечные панели, установленные на арке, wind generator, water generator, 4 service batteries, 1 starter battery, radar, radio station, echo sounder, life raft, speed meter, GPS navigator, kitchen with a baking oven, 80-litres fridge and other equipment.

The owner is planning to do the antifouling, the hull and the desk need to be painted as well.

The sailboat is very big and has a very spacious interior, it is the whole ship. You can see the photos: the condition of the interior is rather good.

Lots of equipment, long keel, different electricity sources, stairs on the mast, radar – I think all these markers mean that the yacht was prepared for a world cruise or other serious passages.

Hi friends! Meet Beneteau Oceanis 320 (built in 1991) from Barcelona. It is equipped with an inboard engine Yanmar 3GM for 23 500 euro only!

Location: Spain

Hull length: 9.75 meters
Width: 3.1 meters
Draft: 1.6 meters
Sleeping places: 6
Galley (kitchen): available
Toilet: available

This sailboat is located in the Mediterranean sea, Barcelona, and this is a huge advantage!

The motor Yanmar 3GM 16 h.p. was repaired in 2017.

All the sails were renewed, the mainsail was replaced in 2019, the genoa was replaced in 2020. There are two sails set, also the genoa furler, all the ropes go to the cockpit. The rigging was also updated.

There’s also lots of equipment: an autopilot Autohelm 2000 installed in 2019, new bimini (2018), 2 anchors, about 28 meters of anchor chain, an arc with solar panels, 150 litres water tank, 60 litres fuel tank, mooring equipment and so on.

The bottom works were held in 2019, the seller also wrote that the boat has no osmosis.

An outer look is nice, the wood and the interior are also in good condition.

A great offer, all the equipment that should have been updated was already updated 🙂 This boat was invested a lot. Capital repair, sails set, an arc for the solar panel and an updated rigging — 10 000 euro in total at least!

The owner is from Sweden, it is very good 🙂

Friends! Meet Sun Odyssey 29.2 with a Yanmar 18 h.p. Diesel inboard motor for only 29 900 euro!

Location: France, Mediterranean Sea

Hull length: 8.8 meters
Width: 3.0 meters
Draft: 1.4 meters
Sleeping places: 6
Galley (kitchen): available
Toilet: available

That’s an example of a relatively modern sailboat in good condition (built in 1998). It’s a spacious, beautiful and small yacht.

Yanmar 2GM20 engine 18 h.p. is properly functioning and was regularly serviced by specialists. Engine mileage is 820 motorhours which is very good (almost new).

The sails are in excellent condition. It’s also said they were regularly checked and kept at home out of season. Standing rigging is fully tested!

There’s a lot of equipment and it has been updated. For example, the refrigerator was changed in 2018, the electric pump in the toilet was replaced in 2020. There’s also a deck shower, a ladder for getting out of the water, bimini, spray hood and awning which were changed in 2017.

Electric anchor winch has a bow and stern control. The anchor chain is 50 meters.

There’s a complete set of rescue equipment for 4 people (life raft, life line, horseshoe preserver, pyrotechnics, walkie-talkie, etc.). Emergency pump was replaced in 2017. There’s a wind meter, wind indicator, speedometer, an echo sounder, GPS navigator, portable GPS navigator, autopilot, shore powered fresh batteries (2018 and 2019).

The antifouling was done in June 2020 so you can definitely keep the antifouling coating for a year.

The yacht is in a great location. The seller offers mooring near Saint-Tropez, Cannes, Nice. In my opinion, it’s quite expensive there (most likely from 3000 euro per year). I would rather moor the yacht in Tunisia, Turkey or Greece.

In Tunisia, the mooring fee for this size is about 1000 euros per year, including electricity, water and taxes 🙂

Friends! Today we have an Albin Stratus (35 feet) with a relatively new Volvo Penta md2030 engine for 24 500 €.

Location: Norway

Length: 10.72 m

Width: 3.3 m

Draft: 1.8 m

Sleeping places: 7

Toilet: available

Galley (kitchen): available

You asked me to publish larger yachts with steering wheels, I am showing just such an option. There’re many sleeping places, the boat is large but it’s already much more expensive.

On the plus side, this boat has a separate stern cabin with three sleeping places. Probably it is convenient for couples with children, especially when there are two or even three of them (3 berths in the stern cabin).

The sails area is 65 m² (genoa is 37 m², mainsail is 28 m²) which is quite a lot. It’s much more difficult to clean and set them than, for example, on my Albin Vega (sails are 28 m²). You need 2 times more effort!

The yacht is 10.72 m long which means it’s in the category of 10-12 meters, this is a completely different mooring fee. For example, for the boat up to 8 meters the daily mooring fee can be 20 €, for 8-10 meters – 30 €, and for 10-12 meters – 40 €.

The same goes for maintenance. The difference between yachts of 8 and 11 meters will be about 2 times more expensive.

Now let’s talk about the yacht itself. There’s a Volvo Penta md2030 engine (29 h.p.), a folding propeller, fresh a genoa furler, but an old mainsail, lazy jack and lazy bag. Cockpit floors and seats are new and made from teak.

There’s an autopilot, an echo sounder, a chartplotter, a solar panel, anchors, electric toilet, mooring equipment, rescue equipment, etc.

In my opinion, it makes sense to buy such a yacht only if you are constantly traveling with 2-3 children, a 30-32 feet yacht will be enough for a couple without children or with 1 child.

The yacht costs 24 500 € and this is a normal price for it. You can buy 30-32 feet in a similar condition for about 10-12 thousand €, i.e. 2 times cheaper! You can find a 26-28 ft boat for about 8000 € which is 3 times cheaper!

With this post I wanted to show how the price of a yacht grows for every meter of length.

Hi friends! Meet super Scampi 30 with the renewed inboard motor Yanmar 2ym15 for 11 700 euro!

Location: Sweden

Hull length: 9.07 meters
Width: 3.04 meters
Draft: 1.65 meters
Keel: fin
Sleeping places: 6
Galley (kitchen): available
Toilet: available

Fabulous sailboat, one of the best I’ve ever seen! Wood and plastic are in perfect condition!

The motor Yanmar 2ym15 which was installed in 2011. The motor looks well-conditioned, thermal protection doesn’t have defects, general impression is good 🙂

There’s a new jib sail with the furler (2019 year), all the rest of the sails set is in good condition, too.

Solar panels (2 pc. x 25 Watt) and solar panels controller are included. All the lights are LED, toilet and flexible tubes were replaced in 2015, the fridge was installed in 2013.

The baking oven is almost new, a swim platform, the net on the pulpit (very comfortable), anchor in tube, tiller extension, lanyard reel, basic life-saving equipment and a lot of other equipment.

Very cool sailboat in my opinion! It is spacious enough but the mooring fee will be inexpensive. Everything looks very fresh, just take a look at the wood inside and at the deck. And just watch at the tiller! Everything is fresh, pleasant and shiny.

In the Mediterranean Sea the sailboat like that, in the same condition and with the same equipment will cost from 25 000 euro!

oday we have a Marieholm 32E with an updated Volvo Penta MD2030 29 h.p. inboard engine for only 13 000 euro!

Location: Canary Islands

Hull length: 9.65 meters.
Width: 3.00 meters.
Draft: 1.62 meters.
Sleeping places: 6
Galley (kitchen): available
Toilet: available

Great offer! Such a yacht in the Canary Islands with a huge amount of equipment for only 13 000 euro is just a gift.

There’s an updated 29 h.p. Volvo Penta MD2030 engine, 2300 motor hours which is about 2/3 or 3/4 of the remaining resource.

The yacht has a long keel. The main disadvantage of long-keeled yachts is poor maneuverability in the sternway but with this sailboat the problem is solved by the thruster. This is also a huge advantage!

The sails are in good condition. There’s a genoa furler of 2014, a new mainsail. The seller says the yacht is well equipped for offshore travels. He planned to cross the Atlantic but for personal reasons he didn’t.

It can also be seen from the photos that all the ropes go to the cockpit and the staysail has UV protection.

There’s a new anchor-winch, 200W solar panels, bow thruster, water heater, cockpit shower, bathing platform, 2 autopilots, 2 GPS navigators, charger for rechargeable batteries, 4-stroke outboard engine, inverter, liferaft (needs to be re-laid ), teak cockpit, diesel heater, mooring equipment, vests, basic rescue equipment, safety equipment, etc.

The photos also show an inflatable raft attached to the stern, and there is also a bimini (awning from the sun) which is awesome.

The mooring is paid for 3 months, then the mooring fee is 100 euro per month (according to the seller).

Such offers are very rare, of course everything needs to be checked and carefully inspected but this is probably a great opportunity to buy a good boat at a good price.

Hey guys! We have Albin Alpha today. It is equipped with a renewed inboard engine Yanmar 10 h.p. for only 12 000 euro!

Location: Norway

Hull length: 8.93 meters.
Width: 2.84 meters.
Draft: 1.65 meters
Sleeping places: 6
Galley (kitchen): available
Toilet: available

This sailboat looks just great. It is colored very neatly, the wood looks well-conditioned. The owner says he repaired the hull and the keel, so I would advise to ask what exactly did he improve.

There’s an inboard motor Yanmar 10 h.p., it works properly and what is more you can easily find any details and spare parts for this model at a cheap price. This engine is not original, it is the new one (replaced in 2010).

Mainsail and genoa with a furler is included, most likely there is also a spinnaker (look, there’s a spinnaker boom on the photo).

Apart from the usual equipment like the mooring ropes, fenders and anchor there’s also the new GPS Simrad and autopilot.

Cool offer in my opinion, especially if the owner made good-quality repair. The renewed motor and good layout will raise the price of this boat a lot in the Med if you just sail it there to resell 🙂

Hey guys! Today we have a Bavaria Cruiser 30 with a Volvo Penta MD 2020D 18 h.p. engine for only 32 000 euro!

Location: Norway

Length: 9.45 meters
Width: 3.29 meters
Draft: 1.85 meters
Motor: inboard
Sleeping places: 6
Galley (kitchen): available
Toilet: available
Shower: available

A modern yacht with a lot of expensive equipment. It’s well-maintained, there are many updates and additions, and this all costs 32 000 euro only.

The Volvo Penta MD 2020D engine is 18 h.p., as the seller said it doesn’t have a motor hour meter, but it’s still in good condition.

There were a lot of updates in 2019, such as replacing the entire cooling system, replacing the thermostat, replacing the entire exhaust system. In the spring of 2020, all filters were replaced, and the anodes were also replaced.

All the sails have furler, the mainsail can be retracted into the mast, there is a genoa furler but protection from ultraviolet radiation should be made.

I used to be skeptical about furl into the mast, but I recently talked to several owners of such yachts and they said there were no problems with seizing and it was very convenient.

The yacht has a full-fledged large chartplotter where everything can be brought out, an autopilot, a life raft, a wind meter, an echo sounder, a radar, a stationary radio station, a diesel heater, a shower, a 100W solar panel, an anchor with a chain, a stern anchor, speakers inside and outside, USB sockets, TV antenna on the mast, new 2018 propeller, new spray hood, and winter awning that has not yet been used.

A lot of equipment, a lot of comfort, 2 bedrooms, a separate toilet with a shower (but most likely it is worth putting additional tanks with water)
