Based on median asking prices by model year. The newest model year in our dataset is used as the 100% reference point. The curve is smoothed so retention never increases as age increases — hover over data points to see raw values. Shaded band shows the 25th–75th percentile price range. Figures reflect asking prices from tracked listings, not final sale prices.

The Lagoon 42, 46, and 450 all show strong two-year retention above 95%, reflecting consistently high demand for Lagoon catamarans in the pre-owned market. The 42 is the only model with sufficient data span for a reliable five-year figure, retaining 78% of its newest vintage price. All three models benefit from Lagoon's dominant position in the charter fleet resale market.

The Sea Ray Sundancer range demonstrates consistent depreciation patterns across sizes. The 340 Sundancer, with the deepest historical dataset spanning 10 qualifying years, retains 75% of its newest vintage price after five years. The 260 retains 62% after five years. Larger boats with higher running costs tend to depreciate faster, while smaller models attract a broader buyer pool in the pre-owned market.

Frequently Asked Questions

How does Hulls.io calculate depreciation?

Hulls.io uses a newest-vintage-as-anchor methodology. For each model, we take the median asking price of the newest qualifying model year as the 100% reference point. All older vintages are then shown as a percentage of that benchmark. This approach avoids the need for estimated new prices (which can be unreliable due to varying specifications and options) and instead uses real market data throughout. We require a minimum of 8 listings per model year to ensure statistical reliability, and apply monotonic smoothing so the depreciation curve never shows a value increase as age increases. All figures are based on asking prices from tracked listings, not final sale prices.

Which boat brands hold their value best?

Based on analysis of 135,302 tracked listings, the brands with the strongest five-year value retention are Lagoon (74% average across 7 models), Sea Ray (72% average across 24 models), Boston Whaler (68% average across 10 models). These figures represent the median asking price at age 5 compared to the newest vintage, averaged across qualifying models.

How fast do yachts depreciate?

Across the 12 models tracked by Hulls.io with reliable five-year data, the average depreciation rate is approximately 6.5% per year, or roughly 33% over five years. However, depreciation varies significantly by category: cruising catamarans tend to hold value better than large motor yachts, and smaller boats generally depreciate more slowly than larger ones due to lower running costs and a broader buyer pool.

Which catamarans hold their value best?

Among catamarans tracked by Hulls.io, the models with the strongest five-year value retention are: Lagoon 42 (74%). Catamarans generally benefit from strong charter fleet demand and growing popularity among cruising sailors, which supports resale values.

Is a Lagoon catamaran a good investment?

Lagoon catamarans show solid value retention. Hulls.io tracks 7 Lagoon models (42, 46, and 450) based on 591 listings. All three models show two-year retention above 95%. The Lagoon 42, with the deepest historical dataset, retains 74% of its newest vintage price after five years. As the world's largest catamaran builder, Lagoon benefits from strong brand recognition, an extensive dealer network, and consistent charter fleet demand.

Do Sunseeker yachts hold their value?

Hulls.io tracks the Sunseeker Manhattan 52 with sufficient data quality: the Manhattan 52 retains 39% of its newest vintage price after ten years based on 57 tracked listings, and shows 91% two-year retention. Sunseeker's brand prestige and British build quality support residual values, though large motor yachts in general depreciate faster than smaller boats or sailing yachts due to higher running costs.

What is the best boat to buy for resale value?

Among the 178 models tracked by Hulls.io, the Boston Whaler 170 Montauk shows the strongest five-year value retention at 81%, based on 51 tracked listings. Other strong performers include the Lagoon 42 (74%) and the Sea Ray 340 Sundancer (74%). In general, established models from reputable manufacturers with broad market appeal tend to hold their value best.

Our Methodology

Newest-vintage-as-anchor: For each model, the median asking price of the newest qualifying model year in our dataset is set as the 100% reference point. All older vintages are expressed as a percentage of that anchor. This approach uses real market data throughout, avoiding reliance on manufacturer base prices which exclude options and specifications.

Data quality requirements: Only models with 30+ total tracked listings spanning 5+ model years are included. Individual model years must have at least 8 listings to qualify. These thresholds ensure each data point is statistically meaningful.

Monotonic smoothing: The depreciation curve is smoothed so that retention never increases as age increases. If an older vintage has a higher median asking price than a newer one (which can happen due to specification mix or small sample effects), the curve is capped at the newer vintage's value. Raw unsmoothed values are available by hovering over data points.

Asking prices vs sale prices: All figures are based on asking prices from tracked listings, not final negotiated sale prices. Actual transaction prices may be 5–15% lower depending on market conditions, vessel condition, and negotiation.

Percentile bands: Where available, the 25th–75th percentile range is shown as a shaded band, illustrating the spread of asking prices for each vintage. The median line sits within this band, with approximately half of tracked listings above and half below.
