Browse our catalog of used yachts and charter boats, available for UK owners.
Boats in the 30 to 39 foot range come from the same charter programmes as the rest of our pre-owned yachts, and this is where our prices start. A thirty something foot vessel that has worked for five or six seasons in a charter fleet is close to the least expensive way to buy a professionally maintained yacht. Our own technicians have serviced these boats throughout their time in charter, following regular maintenance schedules and designed to keep them operating reliably. Learn more about charter management and our phase out process to see how these yachts move from charter to brokerage.
What you give up at this length is not quality but volume. There is less storage, smaller tanks and less room for extended passages, but a 30 to 39 foot yacht can be easier for two people to handle, with lower berthing and running costs. For a first boat this is often the perfect fit.
The monohulls in this size range come mainly from world class manufacturers Beneteau, Jeanneau, and Dufour. In the fleet you will find models such as the Sun Odyssey 349 and 389 as well as the Dufour 360 and 390. For catamarans the Lagoon 40 and Fountain Pajot Lucia 40 are among the most popular models. The monohulls are the more affordable option while the catamarans cost more for similar length due to the second hull and increased living space.
There is a detail worth knowing when browsing listings, a Lagoon 40 and Lucia 40 can appear in the 30 to 39 foot range despite their names saying 40. This is because their hull length measures below 40 feet, many manufacturers round to the nearest number for simplicity. Make sure to check the exact specifications when browsing listings. You can also search by used catamarans or used sailing yachts, or move up to 40 to 49 feet.
Boats in this size range tend to come from our Mediterranean charter bases, with most located in Greece, Croatia, or the South of France. That makes it easier to compare several boats all within a reasonable distance of each other.
Until a yacht is sold it remains at its current charter base. This is where you will view the boat, arrange a survey, and complete the handover. Explore our worldwide destinations so see where our pre-owned yachts are based.
Check whether the listing price includes or excludes VAT, as both apply across this size range. At the lower end of the market it is also worth looking beyong the purchase price and considering what the yacht may need during its first season. Sails, standing rigging, and electronics are the usual items on a hull of this age that understanding that cost upfront can help you plan. Once you have found the right boat, we will guide you through the next steps, most sales close in six weeks.
