Is Now Your Time To BUY a Mediterranean Boat ? – What NO ONE Tells You

Mediterranean yacht prices are falling fast — and if you’re browsing listings right now, you’ve probably seen the SAME boat posted at wildly different numbers.

This isn’t just “the market is down.”
It’s a chain reaction:

Higher interest rates (cheap money is gone)

Dealer inventory + floorplan pressure (discounts to stop the bleeding)

The post-COVID backlog arriving late (new 2023/2024 models still sitting in 2025)

Mediterranean regulation changing what boats are even usable (Posidonia anchoring crackdowns)

Operating costs exploding (marinas, insurance, fuel, compliance)

And here’s the twist:
In the Med, regulation is now doing what storms used to do…
It’s deciding which boats stay valuable — and which ones get discounted into oblivion.

In this video, we break down:

Why demand drops off a cliff when loan rates jump

How dealer discounting crushes late-model used prices

The “inventory hangover” that’s poisoning asking prices

Posidonia enforcement + why Dynamic Positioning (DP) is becoming a value divider

The 30–50m “death zone” where OPEX + regulation collide

Why some yachts stay resilient (scarcity + pedigree) while the middle reprices hard

A practical buyer playbook (find motivated sellers, negotiate with days-on-market + TCO)

A practical seller playbook (why waiting is expensive, and why paperwork sells)

Why charters are shifting east (Greece/Croatia/Turkey) as the Western Med tightens up

If you’re buying or selling a boat in the Med in 2025/2026, this is the market reality you need before you make a move.
