A listed price becomes useful only when read alongside the kind of yacht it represents. This report compares median starting prices, typical length and represented choice across 18 country-of-origin portfolios in the LYRA catalogue.
It is intended for buyers who are forming a first brief or testing a budget. Rather than ranking markets, the data places a requirement in context and shows where a comparison needs more care.
Median listed yacht price by country of origin
This chart compares the median listed-price position of each country-of-origin portfolio represented in LYRA’s 2026 catalogue. Italy leads at €7.20M and Turkey follows at €7.00M, while Monaco, the United Kingdom and the Netherlands form a €3.00–€3.23M group. The remaining portfolios extend from Poland at €2.80M to Austria at €0.73M, helping buyers see the price centres across different origins before exploring the yachts behind them.

LYRA catalogue selection · 2026
The table gives the country comparison the context the chart alone cannot provide: model and shipyard breadth, priced-record count, median listed price, length and listed price per metre. Italy combines its €7.20M median with 503 models from 74 shipyards, while Turkey’s €7.00M median is drawn from 52 models and the Netherlands’ €3.00M position from 107. These measures let buyers read each price position alongside the scale, variety and typical size of the yachts that create it.
What the price differences really show
The most useful comparison is not the country column alone but the country and length together. Italy's catalogue median is 27.00 m / 89 ft, considerably longer than France's 17.20 m / 56.4 ft and Germany's 15.32 m / 50.3 ft. A larger represented model mix naturally changes the median price. The €/m column helps place those differences in context, but it is still a comparison tool rather than a measure of quality, equipment or value.
Italy is unusually broad rather than narrowly positioned: its 503 records span a €0.60M to €190M listed-price range. The Netherlands also has a long upper tail, with models up to 105 m / 344 ft, although its central catalogue position is much closer to 19 m / 62 ft and €3.00M. France is a different shape again: its 70 records concentrate below 25 m / 82 ft and carry a €1.53M median listed price.
For a buyer, this is a practical reason to compare countries as portfolios, not labels. A country can offer a large choice at one budget and a very limited choice at another. The next step is to filter by the intended length, use and budget, then compare the models that remain.
Methodology
The analysis uses active LYRA catalogue records for 2026. “Price” means the listed starting price in euros; options and taxes may be excluded. A country is the origin country recorded on the model card. Model and shipyard counts show the breadth of represented choice, not market share or production.
LYRA perspective
Treat represented medians as a way to frame a search, not to choose a yacht. Compare intended use, length, condition, equipment and ownership context before interpreting a price range. A small sample can signal where further research is needed, but not a market conclusion. The most useful next step is to define priorities and test the relevant alternatives against them.
