Cruisers for sale
Cruisers add a cabin, a berth, and often a galley and head, turning a day on the water into a weekend aboard. On Buoy List you will find express and cabin cruisers from owners who have logged real nights at anchor and can tell you how the systems hold up. If you want to sleep on the boat without stepping up to a full yacht, start here.

Frequently asked questions
-
How much does a used cabin cruiser cost?
- Older 25 to 30 foot cruisers often sell for 20,000 to 60,000 dollars, newer or larger 30 to 40 foot models run 60,000 to 200,000 dollars, and premium late-model cruisers climb well beyond that. Engine hours, whether it has one engine or two, and the condition of the cabin systems drive the price.
-
What should I inspect on a used cruiser?
- Beyond the engines, check every cabin system: the head, water and holding tanks, the galley, air conditioning, and the electrical panel, since these are where costs hide. Look for water intrusion and soft decks, test the bilge pumps, and inspect the outdrive or shaft and running gear. For any cruiser at a meaningful price, a survey and sea trial are strongly advised.
-
Can I keep a cruiser on a trailer?
- Cruisers up to roughly 28 feet can be trailered with the right tandem trailer and a capable tow vehicle, though it gets cumbersome. Larger cruisers usually live in a slip or on a lift. Factor slip fees into ownership cost if the boat is too big to keep at home.
-
One engine or two on a cruiser?
- A single engine is cheaper to buy, run, and maintain and is fine for coastal and lake cruising. Twin engines add redundancy and easier docking, which matters offshore or in tight marinas, but double the maintenance. Choose based on where you cruise and your comfort with a single get-home engine.
