Islander prices and resale values

A used Islander asks a median of £19,500 across 20 boats observed. We need 20 boats across six build years of the same models before we say how fast the range loses value.

Loses a year, across the range

Not enough boats yet

We rate a range once 20 boats across six build years of the same models have been seen. We have 19 Islander sailing yachts across 9 build years so far.

Nearest figure: sailing yachts from other builders lose 3.7% a year of age.** A stand-in for the type, not Islander's own figure.

The range

Every model by the build years of the boats we have seen, grouped by range. The figure is the median asking price. Dashed models have too few boats to publish yet.

Which hold value best

Share of asking price lost for each year of age. Shorter is better. The tick marks the same type of boat from other builders. Models need 20 boats across six build years, and a consistent fit, to be ranked.

No Islander model has 20 boats across six build years yet, so none can be ranked. 1 model has 10 or more boats.

Questions about Islander prices

How much does a used Islander cost?

A used Islander asks a median of £19,500 across 20 boats listed since Dec 2020, in today's prices. The middle half ask between £13,000 and £29,000. These are asking prices, not sold prices.

Does an Islander hold its value?

We don't publish a rate for Islander yet. We rate a range once 20 boats across six build years of the same models have been seen. We have 19 Islander sailing yachts across 9 build years so far. Sailing yachts from other builders lose about 3.7% a year of age; that is the nearest figure we publish, not Islander's own.

Why is an Islander model missing a price?

We publish a model once five boats have been listed. 10 models are listed above with their count so far, including the Bahama 30, the Islander 30 and the Islander 32, and will get a published figure when they reach five.
