5 Used Sailboats You Can Buy For Under $150K

Affordable Sailboats For Sale in The United States and Mexico.

There’s very little that can beat the sensation of being on the water, and sailing is one of the best ways to connect with the elements. You get to rely on your skills and expertise to harness the power of nature. The term sailboat covers a variety of sailing craft, each with its own characteristics and styles. 

Most sailboats have displacement hulls, allowing them to travel more smoothly through the water, and are usually made of fiberglass, metal, or wood. They can range in price from as low as $70,000 to upwards of a few million — it just depends on if it’s new or used, size, model, year, and amenities. Some of the most popular sailboat options are Beneteau, Dufour, Leopard, Jeanneau, and Oyster.

If you’re looking for an affordable boat, we found 5 sailboats under $150K, currently for sale with Denison Yachting. These used boats are designed for extended trips, racing, or liveaboard experiences.

2. 45’ Dufour 2000

This used Dufour is dressed to impress. The design concept for the Dufour 45 Classic was to create a voluminous hull with ample accommodation for a family or three couples cruising together.

Her powerful hull with a beam of more than 14 feet feels large beneath your weight while being stable. The rudder is a high-aspect balanced spade and the fin keel is deep (7’8″) with a large bulb at its base. She’s available for sale in California for under $150,000.

Notable feature: The deep ballast bulb gives the boat a fine edge sailing windward and allows it to continue carrying a press of sail long after others will have been forced to reef.
