For boaters looking for a new-to-them used yacht, now is a great time to start looking at options as the used-yacht segment has been shifting to a buyer’s market. To help boat buyers in their yacht shopping, we go in-depth on 10 used flybridge cruisers that are ready for new owners today.
2019 Princess Yachts S60 – Rock On – Palm Beach, Florida
“HMY Yacht Sales has Rock On, a 2019 Princess Yachts S60, listed at $2.149 million. The nearly 38-knot, 60-foot sportbridge yacht is equal parts performance and entertainment thanks to its efficient hull form and well-appointed social spaces.
Rock On reaches its aforementioned 38-knot top hop thanks to optional 1,200 hp MAN V-8 diesels. The 60-footer has a 29-knot cruise speed, and it’s worth noting the engines have only 390 hours. The yacht has also spent its entire life on freshwater.
“While sport-bridge models are occasionally maligned as nothing more than a compromise between a motoryacht and an express cruiser, the Princess S60 represents a solid counterargument to that gripe. There simply isn’t a whole lot of half-stepping to this yacht,” Yachting previously reported.

2015 Ferretti 750 – Sami Kay III – Miami, Florida
“First launched at the 2013 Cannes Yachting Festival, the Ferretti Yachts 750 expanded on the design of its sibling, the Ferretti 720, innovating areas like the tail of the flybridge to give the new 75-footer a sleeker and sportier profile. Allied Marine currently has Sami Kay III, a 2015 Ferretti 750, listed with an asking price of $2.29 million.
When it comes to choosing where to catch some sun on Sami Kay III will you pick the two-person sun pad on the foredeck or the three-person sun pad on the flybridge? How about alfresco dining, will you and your guests eat at the C-shaped dinette on the flybridge or down in the cockpit? Even the captain has to choose between the all-weather lower helm station or the wind-in-your-hair upper helm station. Decisions, decisions.”

2018 Azimut 80 Fly – Deep Blue – Pompano Beach, Florida
“The Azimut Yachts 80 Fly called Deep Blue is currently for sale with MarineMax with an asking price of $3.69 million. The 2018 build has chic lines, 31-knot speed and a layout aimed at family cruising fun.
“Azimut designer Stefano Righini got the exterior just right, creating a flybridge and hardtop that enhance the aggressive, but not too racy, lines of the hull,” Yachting previously reported. “In the profile view, the 80 is quite sleek and proportional. From the stern, she has even more attractive symmetry: The superstructure tapers in where it joins the hull, and then flares outward as the flybridge takes over from the salon. Righini thought through the geometry, using straight lines with subtle curves and sharp angles, including a large, blue-mirrored panel at the base of the radar arch that looks like one of the salon windows from a distance.””

2008 Marquis 65 – Serenity – Stuart, Florida
“United Yacht Sales currently has Serenity, a Marquis 65, listed with an asking price of $1.35 million. This 2008 flybridge motor yacht is packed with spaces future owners and their guests are sure to enjoy from its four well-appointed staterooms to its EZ2CY enclosed flybridge.
When Yachting first wrote about the Marquis65, we noted how “The new 65-footer is not simply a bigger Carver, in concept or in execution; she is a whole new animal. The company reached beyond its own doors to ensure the new series would be not just what Carver wanted, but what knowledgeable yachtsmen would demand. She is nothing short of world-class.”
To that end, Serenity’s salon has a sense of volume and warmth because of its open floorplan with the country galley forward, rich, high-gloss wood finishes and natural light from nearly 360 degrees of glass. Owners can dial in the desired natural lighting via automatic blinds. The salon also has a three-person sofa and coffee table to port with four lounge chairs positioned around the salon. A spiral staircase to starboard leads to this yacht’s flybridge.”

“MarineMax currently has Kilauea, an Azimut Yachts 50 Fly, listed with an asking price of $890,000. The 2017 build can sleep six with its three-stateroom, two-head layout.
Yachting first reported that the exterior of Azimut’s 50 Fly, designed by Stefano Righini, is based on the builder’s popular 80-footer. “Retaining some of her key eye-popping elements such as unbroken, porpoise-shaped, single-pane mirrored windows in her superstructure. Aside from being aesthetically pleasing, the windows enhance views from the salon and helm, add an aggressive look to her profile and let natural light bathe the yacht’s interior.”
Stepping on to Kilauea’s swim platform, which doubles as tender stowage, cockpit access is via stairs flanking the transom. The cockpit has a U-shaped sofa aft with a fixed table, just add loose chairs and there is alfresco dining for up to six.

2020 Fairline Squadron 68 – Blind Date – Destin, Florida

The rear-leaning supports for the hardtop accent the profile, and reverse-raked glass on the flybridge helps with the aesthetic while reducing glare off the water.”
