The price movement is loud on this hull. Originally listed at $1,130,000 in late May, now at $949,000, a 16 percent reduction in roughly seven weeks. That is the largest percentage cut in your entire shortlist and it means the seller has already told us where the floor is trending. That's the type of price behavior we should be prioritizing when we are looking for the negotiation-ready boat in a class rather than the trophy, because the seller has already done the emotional work of accepting a lower number. 2022 Ferretti 500 with twin MAN i6 730 hp diesels, only 235 hours, three cabins plus crew, Seakeeper stabilized, captain-maintained since delivery.
Cruise 26 knots and top 32, 14.17 foot beam, 4 foot draft, 360 gallons of fuel. Three guest cabins with a dedicated crew berth is the layout that carries 6-8 pax including four kids without doubling anyone up on the family cruises. The 4 foot draft is Bahamas-workable for the Bimini and Nassau runs even if it does not go as shallow as the Prestige 520 for the Exumas banks.
Asking $949,000, reduced from $1,130,000. Cross-comp inside your set is Emotional Rescue (2022 Prestige 520 at $1,287,000, 473 hours, only a nominal $3,000 reduction). Same 2022 model year, similar option class. The trade is $338,000 for two feet less LOA and 238 fewer hours on Avanti, against a seller who is already 16 percent below the original ask. On a break-even math frame where dollars out is the anchor, Avanti's asking price plus the reduction history is doing more work than the extra length on Emotional Rescue. This is the boat for the version of the plan where the operating buffer matters more than the LOA.
