Depreciation of a Motor Yacht coming from a sportfisher

They’ve got several very enjoyable delivery videos. big fan of their content

Back to your original question, I think you’ll find resale/depreciation is more about build quality and brand reputation vs sportfish or cruiser.

Case in point, as others have pointed out, are Flemmings in the cruising market and I’d add there are lots of high quality down east style US builders whose boats hold their value very well and that cruise easily in the range you are looking for, and have options to add fishability - it’s just hard to find flybridge models. Would you consider a large express/down east?

The other end of the spectrum are “sportfishing” boats by price point builders like silverton that don’t hold their value any better than their cruising boats (not bashing these for what they are - just meant to be more affordable from the outset)

If you haven’t looked hard at enclosed bridge sport fishing boats I think you should. Our enclosed bridge Viking was anything but fatiguing to run, and the bridge layout was very social, and you had the option of enjoying the AC or opening up the door, skylight, and windows and being a little more connected to the outside. That said, I did not like being disconnected from the cockpit during fishing (any helm-forward bridge will cause this, enclosed or not), and I just really wanted a smaller boat in general with less to take care of.

Last suggestion would be to look at Tiara. I’ve always been impressed by their quality and if I were to pivot to a more cruise oriented boat that’s where I’d look first. I think they hold their value well given the build quality and good reputation for support. Recently they’ve trended to outboards, like many of the large sport boat builders, so that’s another consideration. I’ve climbed around on the newer models at boat shows and they are certainly social boats with a lot going for them.
