Last updated: September 2026
The 30-metre class runs from 100 to 114 feet (30 to 35 metres). It is a deep pool: we list about 140 motor yachts of this size, plus around 50 gulets and sailing yachts. Most take 8 to 10 guests in 4 or 5 cabins, and, among yachts that publish a crew count, most list 5 or 6.
Below are 10 yachts of this size from ten different shipyards, picked to show the spread of the class rather than to crown a best boat: cruising grounds from Alaska and Mexico to Croatia and Greece, builds from 1994 to 2024, and starting rates from €42,350 to €138,000 per week for the seven priced in euros, and from $95,000 to $145,000 per week for the three priced in dollars. By starting rate this ten sits above the middle of the class: about half the euro-priced yachts in the band start below €72,000 per week. The countdown runs from #10, the shortest at 100 feet, up to #1, the longest at 114 feet, ranked by listed length. Specs and rates come from each yacht’s current listing, and quotes from the onboard reviews published on those listings. Each yacht’s rate is given as listed, from the lowest seasonal week to the peak where the listing gives a range, plus APA (the advance provisioning allowance for fuel, food and berthing); the APA percentage varies by yacht and, where the listing states it, runs from 35% to 40% among these ten. Figures are as listed in September 2026, so confirm them when you book. Cruising areas are shortened for reading; the full list is on each listing.
What 100 to 114 Feet Gets You
Guests. Almost every charter yacht is licensed for at most 12 guests, whatever her length (the exceptions are covered on our more-than-12-guests page), but in this band most take fewer. Of the roughly 140 motor yachts we list at this size, 10 guests is the most common figure (51 of them), then 8 (39), and only 22 take 12. Among the dollar-priced yachts, 8 guests is the most common figure (22 of about 50). One class up, in the 40-metre class, 12 is the most common figure.
Cabins and crew. Five cabins (69 yachts) and four cabins (63) are almost level. Where the listing gives a crew count, it is usually 5 or 6 people. Six of the ten below (ANKA, NANGARA, DIANA II, FIGURATI, HAPPY HOUR and SABAI) put the master suite on the main deck.
Toys and tenders. All ten below carry jet skis, Seabobs or both. Several carry a dedicated chase boat, among them FIGURATI (an Axopar 37), SABAI (a 10 m Protector) and HAPPY HOUR, and ASCENTE carries a 28 ft Jeanneau.
Who builds them. Sanlorenzo leads this band in our listings with 16 motor yachts, twice as many as the next yard, Westport with 8. Custom Line and Azimut follow with 7 each, then Sunseeker, Mangusta, Ferretti and Leopard with 6 each.
What it costs. Counting each listing’s lowest seasonal rate, the cheapest tenth of the euro-priced motor yachts in the band start below about €45,000 per week, the middle sits around €72,000 per week, and the top tenth start above €120,000 per week. Among the dollar-priced yachts, the cheapest tenth start below about $55,000 per week, the median is $65,000 per week, and the top tenth start above $120,000 per week.

Choosing Within the Class
Start with where and when you want to cruise. Of the ten above, SABAI is the one that winters in the Caribbean, ASCENTE the one for British Columbia and Alaska, NEOPRENE the one for Mexico, and HAPPY HOUR the one for Florida and the Bahamas; the other six are Mediterranean yachts.
Next, decide how much of the week you want to spend moving. Listed cruising speeds are 17 knots for ANKA, 15 for TENACITY and HAPPY HOUR, 13 for FIGURATI, 12.5 for NANGARA, 12 for DIANA II, 10 for SABAI and SAN LIMI and 9 for ASCENTE; cruising speed is only a starting point, since weather and routing decide how far a week really goes, so we check passage times against your plan. Then count heads and cabins: 10 guests is the most common listed capacity at this size, so check the exact beds (convertible twins, Pullmans, bunks) against who is coming, while a group of 12 narrows the choice, since only about one yacht in six in this band takes 12. For a group of 12, 22 yachts in this band list 12 guests, so ask us for that shortlist.
Tell us your dates, cruising area and group size, and we will check which of these ten, or the other yachts we list in this band, is free. For the next size up, see the 40-metre class, then the 50-metre class and 60 metres and up. All our superyachts are on the superyacht charter page.
