Yacht Prices
(and annual running costs)

Yachts are just too expensive for the mainstream these days. Do 50-100ft yachts really need to cost this much. Well unfortunately legacy brands still choosing to build in western Europe are forever feeling the pinch and many are appearing to go bust every few years. Sunseeker and Fairline being two victims in the last year alone. 

​

How does EkoKat manage to charge half the price of competing size 60ft power catamarans (and have double the usable space on board), and as little as 1/4 the price of yachts with the same usable space and still maintain the highest build quality, branded quality parts and equipment?

Well for one, EkoKat saves well over $1 million alone as a downstream benefit to its attention to safety matters such as no hull bedroom fits outs, no side decks, and no unnecessary and even dangerous features such as over-engineered hydraulic bathing platforms for lowering tenders, that block views rear for guests and will sooner or later fail.   

​

Secondly, gone are the days of ‘Built in China’ meaning poor quality. Providing the factory facility is aware of international standards, has the right workforce, quality control and shipping is in place, and the overseeing brand itself is from the West, with labour charges and factory leasing costs being 1/3rd – ¼ that of the west, the luxury EkoKat Voyage 62 can literally be built for 1/3rd the overall cost than if it were built in western Europe, and this includes the use of premium brand important equipment, much of which comes from Italy.

Price and Flybridge size comparisons 

“The Ekokat 62W ($2.98m) will cost you HALF that of the competitor length Sunreef 60, and literally has DOUBLE the usable space in its salon and on its flybridge, not to mention the myriad of additional benefits and features of the yacht” says EkoKat’s CEO, an owner-operator of 50-60ft monohulls for 30 years, with practical experience at sea spanning 3 continents.

In seeking out the next yacht for himself and wife personally 3 years ago, side decks, bedrooms in the hulls and the prices simple made no sense so he set about taking a proven hull design shell (7 commissioned and proven so far), and with a solid team of naval architects, engineers (including a Mercedes F1 engineer), marine specialists, superyacht crew and handlers, and of course the factory itself, simply designed his own instead.

Deciding to call it EkoKat, it then received such overwhelming global acclaim, as a 3 decade entrepreneur decided an exclusive pedigree brand was in great need so deciding to make it available to other discerning yacht lovers (both owner operators and this that simply wish to enjoy them with crew), but on a strictly limited and exclusive basis. EkoKat was born. 

FRACTIONAL Ownership option: Also available through our fractional ownership programme. Effectively split the cost to buy and run the yacht between up to 6 people, from usd 450,000

“Our flybridge at a whopping 80sqm even tops the Sunreef 80 with its 64sqm flybridge and its 4x price tag in excess of Usd11m. It outdoes all monohulls pretty much with an example being the new Sunseeker 100 yacht which will cost you a tidy USD15m, and EkoKat even sits alongside the 130ft Sunseeker Predator yacht when it comes to flybridge and salon space and an owner’s full beam master cabin the same size (all guests sleep down in the hulls even on this yacht). It absurd but true”
