How Much Is A Small Sailing Boat?

A used family week-ender with a small cabin costs around 30,000 for the first year, while a new sailboat typically costs twice as much. Maintenance costs are 5-10% of the boat’s value per year, and docking costs range from 800-2,500 per year. Small boats, up to 30 feet long, are great for solo sailors or small families who want to go on day trips or short week-end trips on inland waters. Some may have cabins and sleeping quarters, although small.

Medium boats are between 30 and 50 feet long, and smaller boats, such as dinghies, are typically the least expensive. Larger boats, such as keelboats, can range from 11,900 to 65,400. Small sailboats are easy to sail, rig, and are affordable, usually under 20 feet to be considered small.

The average price of a new sailboat per foot in USD is between 2,400 and 5,700 – 8,500 per ft. For a small brand-new sailing yacht, it can cost anywhere from 50,000 to 200,000 or more, including basic features like a cabin, galley, and other amenities.

Industry data suggests that small sailboats can range from around 10,000 to 50,000, with annual maintenance costs ranging between 2,000 and 3,000 for most boats. High-end, luxury boats can easily exceed 1 million.

All used small sailing boats for sale by owner and professionals at the best prices are available. A 25 sailboat typically runs 5-10k in decent condition, at least locally.
