Sailing boats are the backbone of Mediterranean cruising — economical to run, capable of real passages under sail, and available across a deep, liquid used market. Production cruisers from Beneteau, Jeanneau, Bavaria, Dufour and Hanse dominate on value and availability, from nimble 35-footers to bluewater 50-plus-foot yachts, alongside performance and semi-custom designs at the top.
The decisive factor when buying is condition over size: a well-maintained, surveyed 42-footer beats a tired 47-footer every time. The costly items on an older sailing boat are standing rigging (replace every 10 to 15 years) and sails, so factor their age into any offer. Ex-charter boats out of Greece, Croatia and Spain offer the most value, with the trade-offs of higher hours and charter layouts.
The fundamentals are an independent survey and sea trial, a rig and sail inspection, a clean EU-VAT trail, and clarity on flag. A vetted broker shortlists sound boats and negotiates on survey findings. Read our sailing guides, and if you want space over economy, compare the catamaran market.

How much does a sailing boat cost?
In the Mediterranean, used sailing boats of 35 to 40 feet run roughly €60,000 to €200,000; 40 to 45 feet €90,000 to €350,000; 45 to 50 feet €150,000 to €600,000; and 50-plus-foot bluewater yachts €300,000 to €1.5 million. Age, builder, rig and sail condition and equipment drive value more than length alone.
What should I check on a used sailing boat?
Commission an independent survey and sea trial. Priorities are hull integrity and any osmosis, standing-rigging age, sail condition and inventory, engine hours and service history, and electronics. Confirm EU-VAT-paid status and verify the flag. Standing rigging older than 10 to 15 years and tired sails are common, costly items to budget for.
What is the best size sailing boat for cruising?
For most couples and small families, 40 to 45 feet is the sweet spot — big enough for comfort and tankage, small enough to handle short-handed and to berth affordably. Forty feet is the most popular cruising size; 50-plus feet suits serious liveaboard and bluewater use. Match the boat to your crew and your cruising plans rather than buying the largest hull you can afford.
Sailing boat or catamaran?
A monohull sailing boat costs less to buy and berth, points higher upwind and handles heavy weather predictably. A catamaran offers far more space, sails flat and is more comfortable at anchor, at a higher price and wider berth. For budget and upwind performance choose the monohull; for liveaboard comfort and space, consider a catamaran — see our catamaran market.
Where is the best place to buy a sailing boat in the Mediterranean?
Spain offers the deepest, best-value inventory; Greece and Croatia strong ex-charter sail at keen prices; Italy and France well-maintained private boats. Individual condition and a clean survey matter more than location, so let a broker shortlist across markets.
