1 September 2026 • Written by Lucy Pughe-Morgan

The yacht brokerage market is a hive of activity, with sales, new listings and price drops happening daily. From newly delivered builds to brightly coloured standouts and classic explorers, there's something out there for everyone - a handful of the yachts for sale becoming even more enticing with their price reductions.

BOAT rounds up six of the most significant price drops last month, starting with a recently refitted classic gentleman's yacht.

Now asking: €12,000,000 with G-Yachts

Taking the top spot as the largest price drop of August is Daddy Shane, listed with G-Yachts, which announced a €3,000,000 reduction to her listing, bringing her asking price down to €12,000,000. Originally delivered by the British shipyard in 1967, she received a comprehensive refit in 2026, making her fresh for the market. She was designed by Yankee Delta Studio alongside interiors penned by Allori Design, and combines the character of a classic gentleman's yacht with a volume of 560GT. As well as offering al fresco dining on the main deck and upper deck for all 10 guests, her main entertaining hub is the bridge deck. Here, expansive lounging areas flow seamlessly into a bar complete with stools and crowning this social hub is a pool, positioned to frame uninterrupted views of the water beyond.

2. Philosophy - €2,000,000 price drop

Now asking: €23,500,000 with Phoenix Yacht Management

August brought a €2,000,000 price drop for the Feadship motor yacht Philosophy, bringing her asking price down to €23,500,000. Following her launch as Moon Sand in 2015, she quickly became popular for her modern yet classic Bannenberg & Rowell interior, which felt cutting-edge for her time. She was designed by De Voogt Naval Architects and constructed in steel and aluminium by the Dutch yard to Lloyd's class. In 2024, the motor yacht received a full repaint and complete servicing of all systems. According to her broker, Philosophy's interiors feature "high-end materials, elegant furnishings and a warm, sophisticated ambience", exemplified by her main saloon, which is fitted with a large curved sofa and a dining table surrounded by four pink chairs, while a more neutral-themed formal dining room lies forward. The contraflow swimming pool is a highlight on board and was one of the first major additions during the design, holding up to 9,000 litres of water.

3. Oceanic 143 - €1,910,000 price drop

This month, the Oceanic 143 motor yacht, listed for sale with Worth Avenue Yachts, received a €1,910,000 price drop, bringing her asking price down to €17,990,000 ahead of her attendance at the Cannes Yachting Festival. Delivered in 2023 by the Italian yard, she won "Best Naval Architecture - Semi-Displacement or Planing Motor Yachts" at the BOAT Design & Innovation Awards 2024. Her main design features are a twin-stepped hull and a shallow draught, specifically designed to reduce friction, and a bulbous bow. The owner is treated to well-designed privacy on board, with a cabin offering an aft terrace that stretches across the entire upper deck and features a breakfast table, wet bar, lounge area and sunpad for relaxing or entertaining other guests. On top of that, there is an additional owner's terrace forward which features sunpads and built-in sofas accessible from the port-side corridor. The tri-deck motor yacht was developed by Arrabito Naval Design in collaboration with the shipyard’s chief naval architect, Giovanni Senatore, while her interiors were penned by Michela Reverberi.

4. CeFeA - €1,750,000 price drop

Length: 39m
Builder: Solaris Yachts
Now asking: €19,250,000 with Denison Yachting

Denison Yachting announced a €1,750,000 price drop on the Solaris Yachts sailing yacht CeFeA during August. Delivered in 2020, CeFeA was launched as the only Solaris 111 model, and she was recognised with a Judges' Commendation at the 2021 World Superyacht Awards. The sailing yacht was designed by Monaco Yacht Temptation, which ensured the owner's cabin received attention on board. The full-beam suite features private access to the deck, allowing for an indoor-outdoor feel when the glass doors are open, adding a layer of decadence to the experience. As well as this, there are multiple spaces to entertain on board, with a main deck offering lounge spaces and sunpads paired with an al fresco dining area. Inside, a similar layout is included, with both relaxing and entertaining spaces allowing the yacht to have overall all-weather use.

5. BYEEE...- €1,500,000 price drop

Length: 35m
Builder: Pershing
Now asking: €13,000,000 with Large Yacht Co.

Delivered in 2024, the 35.3-metre motor yacht BYEEE... received a €1,500,000 price drop to her listing with Large Yacht Co., bringing her asking price down from €14,500,000 to €13,000,000. Design-wise, her interiors were penned by Fulvio De Simoni Yacht Design and are finished with premium Italian furnishings from Poltrona Frau and Minotti, while her floor-to-ceiling glazing bathes the main saloon in natural light. For an indoor-outdoor experience, a fold-down balcony and an opening saloon window are incorporated into the design of the social areas on board. Instead of a spa pool, a lounge arrangement is featured on the foredeck, which the broker noted was chosen to "maximise entertaining space and functionality". However, her real selling point is at sea level, where a 40-square-metre beach club - among the largest in her class - has been reconfigured with a bespoke hydraulic passerelle that doubles as sea-access steps and increases wet-storage capacity.
