What It Costs to Own a Yacht in Hong Kong
Model-by-model annual ownership costs for Hong Kong’s most-owned yachts — berthing, crew, maintenance, insurance and fuel. Modelled from public listing behaviour, not sales pitches.
The short answer
A yacht in the HK$3–10M range typically costs HK$650k–2.2M per year to run in Hong Kong, depending on size — before you spend a dollar on the boat itself.
Berthing is the single biggest and most unpredictable line, followed by crew on anything over ~55ft. Below we break down the modelled annual cost for each popular model individually, because a 52ft flybridge and a 72ft sportbridge live in completely different cost worlds. Pick your model to see its full breakdown.
All figures are modelled estimates drawn from public listing behaviour and typical HK operating conditions — planning ranges, not quotes.

Frequently Asked Questions
Hong Kong Yacht Ownership Cost — FAQ
How much does it cost to own a yacht in Hong Kong per year?
For a yacht in the HK$3–10M range, modelled annual running costs typically fall between HK$650k and HK$2.2M depending on size — covering berthing, crew, maintenance, insurance and fuel. This is separate from the purchase price. Smaller flybridge yachts (~50ft) sit near the lower end; 70ft+ sportbridges with full crew sit near the top.
What is the biggest ownership cost in Hong Kong?
Berthing. Because Hong Kong has roughly 12,300+ licensed vessels competing for only ~4,300 berths, a secured berth is scarce and expensive — indicatively HK$8k–35k/month on the private secondary market, and far more at a top marina club. On yachts over ~55ft, full-time crew becomes the second major line.
Why break the cost down by model instead of one general figure?
Because a 52ft flybridge and a 72ft sportbridge live in different cost worlds — crew requirements, berth length premiums, fuel burn and maintenance scale non-linearly with size. A single “average” figure hides the numbers that actually decide affordability, so we model each popular model individually.
Are these figures actual quotes?
No. All figures are modelled estimates drawn from public listing behaviour and typical Hong Kong operating conditions. They are planning ranges to size up affordability before you commit — not quotes. Actual costs vary by vessel, berth, usage and condition.

One Blue Anchor models these annual ownership costs for popular yachts in the HK$3–10M range, breaking down expenses by specific model since smaller 50ft flybridges and larger 70ft+ sportbridges operate in very different cost worlds.
