What does the €20M-plus yacht market look like in 2026?

← Back to Press

A 2026 catalogue view of yachts priced at €20M and above: size, origin portfolios and the most represented brands.

In LYRA's 2026 catalogue, €20M and above is primarily a 40-metre-and-over selection. The range contains 169 priced model records from 43 represented brands, with a €32.0M median listed starting price and a 47.35-metre median length. Italy accounts for 136 of those records, so it is the dominant origin portfolio in this particular catalogue view.

The price band is not one uniform tier. Eighty-nine models sit at 40–50 m / 131–164 ft and 63 are over 50 m / 164 ft; the remaining 17 appear in smaller size bands. The middle half of listed prices runs from €25M to €60M, which is a useful reminder that “above €20M” is an entry point to a broad upper range, not a typical yacht specification.

Methodology

This article covers active LYRA records with a positive listed price of €20M or more, captured for 2026. Prices are EUR starting prices and may exclude options and taxes. Counts describe represented choice, not transactions or market share.

LYRA perspective

At this scale, the decision is shaped by the ownership programme as much as the yacht itself. Begin with crew, guest use, time aboard, cruising range and operational support, then compare the models that serve that brief. An upper price band is a broad field, not a single specification.
