Market Observations
A small, considered selection of motor yachts currently offered on the open market that meet our criteria. Each has been reviewed by us, and each carries our own view of the vessel — what it is, what it could become, and what we would want to know before recommending it.
We act for the buyer alone. Should one of these vessels interest you, we will approach the listing broker, arrange survey and sea trial, and represent you through to closing.

2007 · Phuket, Thailand
Close to thirty metres of motor yacht, already lying in Phuket. At this age, the refit history and class status will tell the real story — and a refit could be carried out without moving her far.

2022 · Phuket, Thailand
A recent build with the enclosed bridge that suits tropical cruising. Little refit is likely to be needed; the case rests on condition, warranty status and a fair comparison with new-build pricing.

2019 · Phuket, Thailand
A modern Australian-built sports motor yacht with a following in the region. At seven years old, engine hours and service records will matter more than cosmetics.

2011 · Singapore
A large, fast open yacht from Princess's flagship sports range of the time. A prime candidate for interior refinement; we would review the running-gear and generator history before making an offer.

2017 · Singapore
Italian styling in a practical four-cabin layout, and a model that keeps its value. A sensible size for owners who want a capable yacht without permanent crew.

1991 · Singapore
A classic American motor yacht offering real volume for the money. A full technical survey is essential; with the right refit programme at a suitable yard in the region, a yacht of this kind can be transformed.

2006 · Phuket, Thailand
A lot of yacht for under a million dollars. Twenty years on, she is a natural subject for refinement — interior, systems and paint — at a Phuket yard.

2008 · Phuket, Thailand
An uncommon builder, which asks for careful due diligence on construction and parts support. In return, the length-to-price ratio is striking.

2014 · Langkawi, Malaysia
A compact, owner-operable flybridge lying in Langkawi. An accessible first step into ownership, and a fine base for cruising the Andaman Sea.

2013 · Pattaya, Thailand
The most accessible vessel in this selection. Condition and engine history will decide her value; a light refinement would bring her up to date.

2008 · Port Dickson, Malaysia
A modest explorer-style yacht for owners who value range and seakeeping over speed. Built in Asia, and with the most accessible asking price in our selection.

2020 · Hong Kong
The largest and most recent yacht in this selection, just within a five-million budget. Several Y85s are for sale in the region — a useful basis for negotiation.

2016 · Hong Kong
An Italian yacht from a smaller yard, offering length and character that the volume builders rarely match. We would look closely at service support in the region.

2016 · Hong Kong
A substantial flybridge from a builder with good support in Asia. Ten years on, a focused refinement — soft furnishings, electronics, paint — would bring her up to date.

2016 · Hong Kong
A popular flybridge model, which means solid comparable sales and good resale. Priced in euros; the currency itself can become part of the negotiation.

2020 · Tseung Kwan O, Hong Kong
A recent flybridge in a size that can be run without permanent crew. Among the newest yachts in this selection.

2011 · Hong Kong
Close to twenty-six metres for under two million dollars. Age calls for a thorough survey; the right refit could make her a strong long-term yacht.

2015 · Sanya, China
A four-cabin flybridge lying in Hainan. Moving a vessel out of mainland China brings its own documentation and customs work — precisely the kind of passage we manage.

2011 · Hong Kong
A sporting open yacht for day cruising and short passages. At this price, a well-kept example leaves room in the budget for refinement.

2018 · Singapore
A well-proportioned flybridge of a recent generation, with four cabins. Priced in sterling — worth comparing against the European market before onward delivery is considered. Sold as of October 2026.
