Most Mediterranean brokerage inventory is pre-owned, and for good reason: new boats shed the steepest depreciation in their first three to five years. A lightly used boat from a quality builder — with a recent refit and full service history — delivers most of the specification of a new one at a meaningful discount. The depth of the market means selection is rarely the problem; condition and documentation are.
A significant share of used inventory is ex-charter, especially in Spain, Greece and Croatia. That is not disqualifying, but it reshapes the survey: engine hours, rig and sail age, and interior wear deserve disproportionate attention. The decisive variables across the whole used market are survey condition, service history, and a clean VAT and ownership trail.
An independent survey and sea trial are non-negotiable on any used boat. A vetted broker shortlists sensibly, coordinates the survey, and negotiates on documented findings rather than asking price. Our buying guides set out the process country by country.

Read guide →A used boat is usually the stronger value. New boats lose the steepest depreciation in their first three to five years, so a lightly used boat from a quality builder with a recent refit and full service history offers most of the specification at a fraction of the new price. New wins only when warranty, the latest systems or full customisation outweigh cost. For most buyers, a two to eight-year-old boat is the sweet spot.
Always commission an independent survey and sea trial. Priorities are hull integrity, engine hours and service history, rig and sail age on sailing boats, electronics age, and signs of deferred maintenance. Confirm EU-VAT-paid status with documentary proof, verify the flag, and budget 6 to 10 percent of the price for transaction costs and immediate post-purchase work.
Ex-charter boats can be excellent value. They have been professionally maintained on a fixed schedule and usually carry a comprehensive equipment package. The trade-offs are high engine hours, heavier interior wear, and a charter-oriented layout. Survey priorities shift to engine condition, rig and systems wear. Budget for a cosmetic refresh and confirm a clean VAT and ownership trail.
In the Mediterranean, used sailing boats of 35 to 55 feet run roughly €60,000 to €500,000; used motor boats of 30 to 60 feet €80,000 to €1.5 million; used catamarans of 40 to 50 feet €180,000 to €1.2 million. Classic and project boats start far lower. Age, builder, refit history and equipment drive value far more than length alone.
Typically six to ten weeks from accepted offer to closing — survey and sea trial (one to two weeks), legal due diligence and contract (two to three weeks), and payment, registration transfer and any flag change (two to six weeks). Cash buyers without a flag change can close faster; finance and cross-border structures add time.
