At €3–5M, the catalogue moves decisively into the 20-metre class. The median model measures 21.45 m / 70.4 ft and has a €3.80M listed starting price. Of 140 records in the range, 102 sit between 20 and under 25 m / 82 ft. For a buyer, this is the point where a budget begins to select a more specific size of yacht as well as a price.
The selection still remains broad: 70 brands are represented. Motor yachts account for 106 records and sailing yachts for 34, while 23 records have a catamaran hull. The categories overlap with hull type, so they should be read as different views of the same selection.
€3–5M models by length band
In the €3–5M report, the chart shows that 102 of 140 active records fall in the 20–<25 m / 66–<82 ft band. A further 31 models sit at 15–<20 m / 49–<66 ft, with six at 25–<30 m / 82–<98 ft and one at 30–<35 m / 98–<115 ft. This makes 20–25 m / 66–82 ft the central scale for buyers comparing the strongest range of options in this price band.

LYRA catalogue selection · 2026
The snapshot sets the €3–5M selection beside its median listed price and length, configuration, model count and represented-brand breadth. The median listed price is €3.80M and the median length 21.45 m / 70.4 ft, while the middle half of prices is concentrated between €3.30M and €4.20M across 70 brands. It gives the dominant 20–<25 m / 66–<82 ft band a fuller context before buyers narrow the shortlist.
Where the models are concentrated
Italy contributes 60 records to this range, followed by the Netherlands with 25 and the United Kingdom with 20. The leading size band, 20–<25 m / 66–<82 ft, contains 102 records; 31 remain in 15–<20 m / 49–<66 ft and only seven extend beyond 25 m / 82 ft.
That is why the €3–5M market should be treated as a 20-metre comparison problem. The relevant questions become layout, guest use, crew expectations and cruising priorities, rather than simply whether a buyer can enter the category.

Represented model records · 2026
This table lists the five brand portfolios with the most model records in the €3–5M selection. Steeller Yachts has six models; Absolute Yachts, Princess Yachts and Sunseeker each have five; and Azimut has four. It shows how choice is distributed across brands and gives buyers a clear starting point for comparing the portfolios with the greatest depth in this range.
These are portfolio counts, not a quality or sales ranking. The narrow difference between the five illustrates why a buyer should compare the full selection against a brief before assuming the best fit belongs to the most visible brand.
Methodology
The analysis uses active LYRA catalogue records for 2026 with a positive listed price from €3M up to, but not including, €5M. Listed prices may exclude options and taxes. Catalogue tags and model counts describe the represented selection, not a guarantee of fit or availability.
LYRA perspective
At this level, the useful comparison begins with how the yacht will be used, not with a short list of names. A clear brief for time aboard, guest pattern, cruising style, range and crew expectations makes a concentrated 20-metre selection easier to assess. The data can frame that conversation, but it should not replace it with a model-count ranking.
