Sweet spot: A closer look at seven yachts for sale under 30 metres

2 July 2026 • Written by Dea Jusufi

Who says bigger is always better? While the 30-metre mark is considered the unofficial gateway to owning a superyacht, today's fleet proves there's plenty of superyacht pedigree to be found below the threshold.

From record-breaking sailing yachts for sale and spacious catamarans to 42-knot sports cruisers, these compact powerhouses pack an impressive amount into a smaller footprint. BOAT takes a look at some of the best superyachts currently for sale under 30 metres...

Twilight

Builder: Sunreef Yachts
Length: 28.6m

Twilight is the third hull in Sunreef Yachts' 100 Power series and one of the newest yachts on the brokerage market, having left the Polish yard as recently as last year. According to her brokers, she also presents a rare opportunity for savvy buyers, with no other Power 100 models currently available on the charter market.

Her 13.5-metre beam creates lofty living spaces, complemented by a relaxed "beach house" style finished in natural woods and soft shades of cream and taupe. Accommodation is for 10 guests across five cabins, including a main deck owner's suite, while the social spaces are centred around a custom-designed bar, a flybridge Jacuzzi and a spacious aft deck for al fresco dining.

Guests can also make use of a gym with ocean views and a hydraulic swim platform that transforms into a walk-around beach club when lowered. Twin MAN V8 engines provide a top speed of 16.5 knots and, perhaps most impressively for a yacht of this size, a transatlantic range of 3,000 nautical miles.

Twilight is asking €15,950,000 with Edmiston and Torrance Yachts.

Bullitt

Builder: Wally Yachts
Length: 28.3m

Built to win, Bullitt has earned her place as one of the most successful yachts in the maxi racing circuit. The carbon fibre sailing yacht was designed by Luca Bassani with naval architecture by judel/vrolijk & co., resulting in an exceptionally lightweight displacement of 35GT.

Her resume includes podium finishes at the Rolex Maxi World Championship, the RORC Nelson Cup and the North Sound Maxi Regatta BVI. More recently, she underwent a multi-million-euro refit, receiving a new fixed keel, longer bowsprit, upgraded deck winches and a fresh inventory of sails to keep her at the front of the fleet.

The minimalist interior mirrors her racing pedigree, with monochrome styling throughout and accommodation for six guests in three en suite cabins, plus quarters for two crew. Four dedicated storage containers for sails and racing equipment are also included, ensuring Bullitt is ready for her next campaign.

Bullitt is asking €10,500,000 with Y.CO.

Acali

Builder: Wider Yachts
Length: 28m

The very first WiderCat 92, Acali is one of the best examples of bringing superyacht volume to a sub-30-metre platform. Built in collaboration with Italian designer Luca Dini, the diesel-electric catamaran remains under full shipyard warranty and, according to her broker, combines "innovative design" with "silent efficiency".

Her standout feature is undoubtedly the 12-metre beam, which unlocks an impressive 242GT of interior volume. This includes the owner's suite, which occupies almost half of the forward main deck and enjoys panoramic views, while two VIP cabins feature fold-down balconies that become private waterside terraces.

The interiors are equally eye-catching, combining bold colours with asymmetrical detailing mirrored in Acali's unconventional exterior design. A bridge deck bar, expansive saloon and fold-down beach club mean there's no shortage of places to entertain.

Acali is asking €9,500,000 with Northrop & Johnson.

Sexy Me

Builder: Otam
Length: 27.8m

Take one look at her trim, silver-bronze silhouette and you'll see: Sexy Me lives up to her name. The first hull in Otam's flagship 90 GTS series, Sexy Me was custom-built for an experienced owner looking to add a high-performance sports yacht to his fleet.

Her open-plan main saloon features white leather sofas beneath a 3.2-metre opening roof, while generous outdoor lounges across the cockpit and foredeck comfortably accommodate up to 10 guests. Accommodation is arranged for six across three cabins – including a full-beam owner's suite – all benefitting from 2.1-metre-high ceilings and warm interior finishes.

Constructed in carbon fibre with an Aramid-Kevlar hull, Sexy Me pairs lightweight construction with exhilarating performance. Twin 2,600hp MTU engines propel the yacht to an eye-watering 42 knots, while Seakeeper stabilisers ensure comfort whether she's cruising at 36 knots or entertaining at anchor.

Sexy Me is asking €7,950,000 with SuperYachtsMonaco.

Mishi

Builder: Mishi Yachts
Length: 26m

Commissioned by yard founder Şakir Yılmaztürk, Mishi was originally a one-off build designed for his family (and extended from 19 to 26 metres to appease his wife). The yacht was so well-received by his industry friends that Yılmaztürk decided he was missing a trick and debuted Mishi as the first in a new superyacht series at the 2024 Monaco Yacht Show.

Natural light – achieved through integrated skylights – two-metre ceiling heights and soft cream and grey finishes create an airy but sophisticated atmosphere below deck. Accommodation is arranged for eight guests across four en suite cabins, with two flexible dining lounges adding further versatility.

Outside, the protected cockpit centres around a dining table for 10, while generous foredeck lounging areas, a swim platform and dedicated tender garage encourage long days on the water. Hydraulic sail controls, twin Reckmann furling systems, substantial battery banks and integrated solar panels make Mishi particularly well suited to extended cruising.

Mishi is asking €4,500,000 with Camper & Nicholsons.

Bise I

Builder: Delta Powerboats
Length: 25.9m

Scandinavian cool meets serious performance onboard Bise I. The 25.9-metre motor yacht pairs a lightweight carbon-fibre hull and superstructure with sleek styling by Lars Modin (look at those windows!), creating a yacht that's every bit as fast as she is elegant.

Inside, the minimalist interiors champion natural light, clean lines and "premium finishes", with an open-plan main saloon designed to bring guests together. The sociable atmosphere continues outside, where multiple al fresco dining and lounging areas are complemented by a versatile cockpit geared towards watersports.

Beneath the hood, triple Volvo Penta engines propel Bise I to a top speed of 39 knots and a cruising speed of 26 knots. Joystick controls make for easy handling, whether docking in a busy marina or slipping away for a weekend cruise.

Bise I is asking €3,950,000 with Hoek Brokerage.

Lady L

Builder: Benetti
Length: 25.8m

What's more romantic than a vintage yacht? Delivered in 1976, Lady L showcases the Italian yard's signature canoe stern – a hallmark of the era – while decades of careful investment have ensured she remains ready for modern cruising.

Her most recent transformation came in 2021 with a comprehensive nine-month refit, which saw the hull and superstructure restored, onboard systems upgraded and both the mechanical and interior spaces extensively refreshed. Original wood panelling was carefully preserved, complemented by new ceilings, fabrics and carpets that brighten the classic interior without sacrificing its "timeless character".

Accommodation is arranged for eight guests across four cabins, including a main deck owner's suite and an aft VIP, while generous exterior decks provide plenty of space for long lunches, sunset cocktails and lounging on the forward sunpads.

Lady L is asking €1,490,000 with Camper & Nicholsons.
