Classic / Antique Boats Frequently Asked Questions

What defines an antique vs a classic boat?

According to ACBS, boats built between 1919–1942 are classified as Antique, while those built from 1943–1975 are considered Classic.

Their craftsmanship, historic design, aesthetic appeal, and the stories behind each vessel make them highly prized by collectors and restorers alike.

Prices range from a few thousand dollars for project hulls to hundreds of thousands—or even millions—for fully restored vintage models. Restoration costs themselves often reach ~$40K or more.

Popular types include mahogany runabouts, powerboats, early fiberglass cruisers, vintage sail yachts, and restored wooden launches and tenders.

Major platforms like Boat Trader, YachtWorld, and specialty brokers list hundreds of antique and classic boats—from original hulls to fully restored models.

Consider hull condition, provenance, restorability, insurance costs, and whether you want a preserved (original) or restored vessel—and be prepared for ongoing maintenance.
