What moves the price

Each factor compares boats of the same age, so a newer boat's premium isn't counted twice. Five boats or more on each side, or we say so.

Age

Other factors

Too few boats to compare factors yet: we need five on each side of a split.

About the Tayana 55

The boats behind this page were built between 1983 and 2001 and have been listed since Sep 2020, most often in the US market. 11% of the boats seen at least 14 days apart have cut their asking price.

How we measure: we read public listings from brokers and marketplaces, count a boat once when it appears on several sites, store its asking price each time it changes, and restate older asking prices at today's market level. We never republish a listing, a photograph or a seller. Every figure is recomputed nightly and dated; below five boats we publish nothing. The 17 boats here were listed in Europe and the US.
