It’s going to be tough to pick one out for yourself and the family due to the array of talent available, but boat-shopping is always fun isn’t it? More options for boaters means competition, and this will ultimately benefit boaters as shipyards have to create ever better boats.

We’re going to level with you – yachts lose around 20% of their value within the first year of their ownership, and almost 30% after 5 years. These are boats that are kept in great condition too.

Here are 5 such yachts in excellent shape and even better renown.

A cruising yacht, or more often fondly called cruisers, is a class of yacht that excels at longer distances and offers adequate amenities to make the journey highly comfortable, without needing additional hands via crew members. A cabin cruiser takes it to one step further by providing accommodation as well, essentially turning the yacht into a home you can bring with you as you explore coastal areas and hop between countries. Here are some of the best ones available today.

The Ferretti Yachts 450, or FY450, is the smallest craft in their fleet that first hit the water in 2016, and fans of the yard will know that this particular yacht is no longer listed on their website. Ferretti does not make a yacht in this length anymore, and since larger boats are almost always more expensive, the FY450 can be had at a lower price than the Ferretti Yachts 500, but with the same excellent quality and modern design we know and love from the Italian yard. What’s more, this yacht is available for immediate delivery.
