Mega Yachts and Superyachts for Sale

“At a large brokerage, your file lands with whichever broker is available. At Miami International Yacht Sales, you work with Robert Lama directly — from first conversation through closing — on every acquisition we take. Our focus is deliberately narrow: 100’–250′ class vessels, serious buyers and sellers, and transactions where experienced, personalised representation makes a measurable difference to the outcome.”

Miami International Yacht Sales maintains active access to pre-owned mega yachts and superyachts in the 100’–250′ class across Miami, Fort Lauderdale, and globally — including off-market vessels not on public platforms.

Pre-owned mega yachts at the 60-meter threshold start from approximately $25–40 million for well-maintained examples from tier-one yards. Superyachts in the 30–40 meter class start from $1–5 million pre-owned. New construction at 60 meters from a leading Italian or Dutch shipyard runs $50–120 million with a 2.5–4 year build timeline. Annual operating costs add 10–15% of vessel value per year. See our complete mega yacht ownership cost guide for the full breakdown.

No. In a standard yacht sale transaction, the seller pays all broker commission — buyers pay no direct brokerage fee. You receive full professional representation in market search, negotiation, survey review, and closing at zero direct cost. This is one of the most underused advantages available to serious yacht buyers. See our complete guide to superyacht brokerage fees for a full explanation.

Yes. Miami International Yacht Sales has direct relationships with leading shipyards in Italy and the Netherlands and represents buyers through the full new construction process — from specification and shipyard selection through contract negotiation, build oversight visits, and delivery management. If you are considering commissioning in the 100’–250′ class, speak with Robert Lama before engaging any yard directly. See our builder comparison guide first.

Yes. Florida — particularly Fort Lauderdale and Miami — has the most active pre-owned superyacht market in North America. At any given time, 50–100 superyachts and mega yachts in the 100’–250′ class are actively listed in South Florida or available through the broader South Florida broker network. Miami International Yacht Sales provides active search and private sourcing across this entire market, including off-market vessels not visible on any public platform.

A superyacht is any luxury vessel over 24 meters (79 feet) with a professional crew. A mega yacht is a superyacht above approximately 60 meters (200 feet) — involving dramatically higher crew requirements (20–50 staff), annual operating costs ($3M–$20M+), and regulatory frameworks including merchant navy certification above 3,000 gross tonnage. Every mega yacht is technically a superyacht. See our complete mega yacht vs superyacht classification guide.

A pre-owned mega yacht acquisition in the 100’–250′ class typically takes 60–120 days from accepted offer to closing — covering survey, sea trial, post-survey negotiation, documentation, import duty (1.5%, uncapped for foreign-flagged vessels), and funds transfer. Off-market searches before an offer can extend this by 3–6 months depending on specification specificity. New construction timelines run 2.5–5 years depending on yard and project complexity. Robert Lama gives a realistic timeline estimate at the first consultation based on your requirements.
