For those captivated by the idea of yacht ownership, few experiences rival the sheer thrill of navigating sun-drenched waters, indulging in spontaneous escapades, and savoring life at sea. Yet, the idea that yachting demands an extravagant investment can keep that dream out of reach. While it’s true that some of the world’s largest and most opulent superyachts come with justifiably high price tags, there are exceptional vessels on the market for $5 million or less. To simplify your search, we present two impressive yachts listed with FGI Yacht Group that offer luxury, performance, and elegance at a more accessible price.
Droplet | Princess Yachts | 21.95m | 2022 | $4,050,000
At 21.95 meters, Droplet embodies Princess Yachts’ commitment to quality craftsmanship and refined design. Delivered in 2022, this Y72 model seamlessly combines contemporary style with the comforts of a larger yacht. The saloon is an entertainer’s dream, with an open-plan layout that includes a bar and integrated galley, complemented by a high-end multi-zone Naim audio system for an immersive sound experience. The upper deck invites leisurely afternoons with its well-equipped wet bar and alfresco dining area, while below deck, the full-beam owner’s suite is a study in elegance, complete with Livorno Stone leather finishes, a dressing area, and a private stairway to the main deck. Three additional ensuite staterooms benefit from expansive hull glazing that floods the spaces with natural light. An aft ensuite cabin provides accommodations for a crew of two. With twin MAN engines delivering a top speed of 33 knots and a cruising speed of 27 knots, Droplet is available in turnkey condition in Florida, listed for $4,050,000.

A testament to Italian excellence, Mine is a 26.82-meter yacht built by the revered Riva shipyard and delivered in 2015. A comprehensive 2023 refit has kept her in prime condition, underscoring her classic appeal with a touch of modernity. Designed by Officina Italiana Design as part of the 88′ Florida series, Mine is perfect for private use and charter operations alike. The layout includes four ensuite staterooms: a VIP stateroom forward and three versatile guest cabins, alongside accommodations for a crew of three. Notable features include an expansive aft seating area for alfresco dining, a sunpad for sunbathing on the flybridge, and a swim platform for seamless water access.
