6 January 2026 • Written by Gemma Harris

December 2025's brokerage activity saw sellers adjusting price tags, with €39,300,000 million cut across 49 yacht listings, according to data from BOATPro. Various yachts for sale – including record-breaking carbon composite builds and World Superyacht Award winners – had their asking prices slashed.

BOAT rounds up five of the most significant yacht price reductions that occurred during December, beginning with Palmer Johnson’s striking gold-hulled Khalilah…

Length: 50m
Builder: Palmer Johnson
Now asking: €14,900,000 with Fraser and YPI

The iconic and eye-catching gold exteriors of Khalilah received a €5,000,000 price reduction in mid-December. Jointly listed on the market with Remy Becquet of Fraser and Murat Arkallayev of YPI, the trimaran was delivered by Palmer Johnson in 2015. The yacht, meaning “friend” in Arabic, was renowned for many firsts, including being the world’s largest carbon-composite yacht at delivery, the first and only SuperSport 48 model and the holder of the record for the largest windows installed on a yacht in the United States. She benefited from a refit in 2020 and a technical overhaul in 2023, resulting in new stabilisers and a larger stern area. Accommodation is for 11 guests, featuring Middle Eastern-style interiors.

2. Somnium - €5,000,000 price drop

Almost an all-Feadship creation, Somnium, which was listed for sale with Alex Lees-Buckley of Camper & Nicholsons and Feadship Resale, saw a €5,000,000 deduction from her sales listing in December. As a 2022 World Superyacht Awards winner, she garners attention with her all-aluminium Studio De Voogt lines and interiors inspired by the Galápagos Islands – peppered with distinctive furniture pieces and textile artworks – courtesy of FM Architettura d’Interni. Delivered in 2021, the yacht features a family-friendly layout for up to 11 guests, with flexible cabins and standout highlights including an upper-deck “cocoon” lounge, a 9,000-litre pool, a beach club, gym and a dive store.

The sixth hull for the American yards' popular 164 model, Impromptu, witnessed two price drops in December of $1,550,000 and $1,500,000, listed for sale with Kristen Klein and Kevin Merrigan of Northrop & Johnson.

Her 2022 refit included a paint job and systems upgrade and, as stated in the recent 15-year ABS survey, she is in excellent condition. Impromptu has a strong charter record, thanks to her versatile layout, which features an open-plan main saloon with a wine cellar, a games table in the skylounge and alfresco dining, a barbecue and a Jacuzzi on the sundeck.
