Welcome to the 50 North Yachts Monthly Market Report! As a trusted leader in yacht brokerage, we’re here to provide you with the latest insights into the ever-evolving yacht market. Our monthly updates will help you navigate this dynamic industry, whether you’re planning to buy, sell, or simply stay informed.

Market Overview
The yacht market is experiencing significant shifts, influenced by global economic conditions, changing buyer preferences, and international production trends. European and Asian manufacturers are playing a pivotal role in shaping inventory and pricing. While some segments are seeing increased availability, others remain constrained as major builders adjust their output.

Despite challenges, the outlook for 2025 is promising. A more favorable lending environment and projected economic growth are creating opportunities for both buyers and sellers. In Southern California alone, over 2,000 boats are currently listed for sale, offering a wide range of options. 

New Boat Market Trends
Innovative designs and sustainability are at the forefront of new boat manufacturing in 2025. While some European and Asian builders have increased production, reduced output from certain major brands may lead to tighter availability in specific categories.

 For buyers, this presents a dual opportunity:
– Some dealerships hold non-current model year boats at competitive prices
– High-demand models may still face extended lead times 

Used Boat Market Insights
The pre-owned yacht market remains robust, with well-maintained vessels attracting strong interest. In Southern California’s Q4 of 2024:

– 32 used powerboats (30′ or larger) sold
– Average price: $589,445

While sales volumes dipped 20% compared to Q4 of 2023, this aligns with historical patterns as Q4 is traditionally slower. Early 2025 has started cautiously; however, improving financial conditions could accelerate activity in the coming months.

Key Takeaways

For Buyers:
– Act quickly on high-quality listings
– Explore opportunities in non-current model year inventory
– Benefit from improving lending terms

For Sellers:
– Position your yacht competitively to maximize its value
