About Motor Yachts

Motor yachts are the most popular category of boat for sale, and for good reason: they combine speed, creature comforts, and low-maintenance operation into a single package. Most range from 40 to 90+ feet and are powered by twin diesel inboards, giving owners the range to cruise coastally or cross open water without the learning curve that comes with sail.

Inside, motor yachts typically prioritize living space over performance — full-beam salons, multiple staterooms, a flybridge for entertaining, and increasingly sophisticated electronics and stabilization systems that make them comfortable even in a chop. They're the natural choice for owners who want to host guests, entertain at the dock, or take extended trips without sacrificing air conditioning and hot showers.

What to Expect

  • Twin diesel engines with cruising speeds of 20-30+ knots
  • Spacious salons, multiple staterooms, and full galleys
  • Flybridge or upper helm stations for entertaining underway
  • Bow and stern thrusters that make docking approachable for owner-operators
  • A broad range of builders from production (Sea Ray, Bayliner) to Italian luxury (Azimut, Ferretti, Sunseeker)

Best For
