Most newbies to the world of yachting will surely scour the internet for a better understanding of what the real ownership costs will be only to find vague and often baseless opinions. We often hear 10% of the yachts value, however most do the math based on their purchase price and not the cost of the boat when new. Reality is to the contrary as the boat gets older the costs will only go up. Here we have provided the actual maintenance and crew costs of vessels we have real life experience with. The prices do not include travel, dockage or provisions.
