Dragonfly Trimaran Price: What a Used Dragonfly Costs

How these Dragonfly prices were gathered

The figures below are asking prices seen on broker and listing sites (boats.com, DailyBoats, Rightboat, theyachtmarket, boat24, YachtWorld) and on the Dragonfly brokerage page run by the builder, in November 2026. We sampled a handful of listings per model, so each range reflects a small sample rather than a statistical average. Where a site showed a converted figure in dollars or pounds, we used the original euro price instead, because conversions drift and some aggregators show inflated numbers.

Two cautions apply to everything that follows. First, an asking price is where a seller starts, and the final price is usually lower; there is no public database of Dragonfly sale prices. Second, VAT status changes the real cost: some listings say VAT is included, others exclude it, and some do not say. Always ask for the VAT paid status, and check the current rules with your national tax authority.

What does a used Dragonfly cost by model family?

These tiers are indicative. Specifications for each boat are on our models page; live adverts are on 3Hulls.

• Dragonfly 800 (built to 1995): about €31,500 to €38,500 for Swing Wing examples from the early 1990s in Corsica, Spain and the south of France, with one 1999 SW cruising model near Toulon at €33,000. Prices in other currencies were higher in the US (US$45,000 for a 1992 boat in Florida) and lower in the UK, where two pages for the same 1992 boat disagreed (£25,000 and £20,999). See the Dragonfly 800.
• Dragonfly 920 (1995 to 2007): about €65,000 to €78,000 for standard 920 boats from 1998 to 2002, and €97,000 to €99,000 for upgraded 920 Extreme boats in France and Germany. UK adverts ranged from £59,950 (1998) to £75,000 (2002). See the Dragonfly 920.
• Dragonfly 1000 (1996 to 2010): the one 1995 boat we found was at €80,000 including VAT. One data point is not a range, so treat it with caution. See the Dragonfly 1000.
• Dragonfly 25: about €79,000 (2016 Touring, France) to €125,000 (2018 Sport, Italy), with 2018 and 2021 Sport boats at €110,000 in Denmark and France. See the Dragonfly 25.
• Dragonfly 28: about €140,000 (2010 Sport) to €199,500 (2024 Touring), with 2017 to 2019 Performance boats between €159,000 and €195,000. The builder’s brokerage listed 2021 Performance boats at €185,000 and €217,500 including VAT. See the Dragonfly 28.
• Dragonfly 32: about €255,000 (2016 Touring, builder’s brokerage, VAT included) to €349,000 (2020 and 2023 boats), with a 2022 Touring at €289,000 in the Netherlands. A 2021 Evolution was shown at €385,000 excluding VAT. See the Dragonfly 32.
• Dragonfly 35: about €265,000 to €295,000 for boats from 2007 to 2017: a 2007 Ultimate at €265,000 on the builder’s brokerage, a 2008 Ultimate at €280,000 and a 2017 boat at €295,000. See the Dragonfly 35.
• Dragonfly 40: we found no current used price we could rely on. One 2021 boat listed in Helsinki had been removed, and the 2026 listings were new boats, one with a base price of about US$713,000 and the rest on request. See the Dragonfly 40.

Why a classic 920 can cost as much as a young Dragonfly 25

Length does not set the price on its own. A 2002 Dragonfly 920 and a 2016 Dragonfly 25 can both be advertised between €70,000 and €80,000, because the newer small boat has a modern hull, a trailer-friendly fold and more recent equipment, while the older, larger boat has more accommodation and more years of wear. Buyers choose between space and age, and the price reflects that trade.

The same logic explains why the 25 and 28 hold their prices well: they are the trailerable models, they are the most numerous on the market, and a buyer can use them without a marina berth. If you are comparing two specific boats, our guide on how to value a boat explains the method in more detail.

What pushes the price of one Dragonfly up or down?

Two boats of the same model and year can be €30,000 apart. These are the factors that move the asking price most:

• Version: Touring, Sport, Performance, Extreme or Ultimate versions differ in rig, weight and fit-out. A carbon mast and a larger sail wardrobe add real value.
• Condition of the folding system: the Swing Wing hardware is central to the boat. Documented servicing supports the upper end of a range; unexplained wear is a bargaining point.
• Engine and sail age: a recent outboard or saildrive service, and sails that still hold their shape, are worth negotiating over because replacing them is a real expense (get quotes from a rigger, sailmaker or engine dealer).
• Equipment: autopilot, chartplotter, solar, lithium batteries, covers and a road trailer all change what a buyer would otherwise have to add.
• Location: a boat in a Mediterranean marina or a Danish yard has a different buyer pool from one in a distant market such as Dubai or Canada. Moving a boat also costs money, so a distant boat may need a lower price to compete.
• VAT status and paperwork: a boat with confirmed VAT paid status and complete documents is easier to sell and to insure than one without.

New versus used: where does the used market sit?

A new Dragonfly is built to order and priced on request, so a published new price is rarely a useful comparison. The one reference we found was a 2026 Dragonfly 40 with a base price of about US$713,000 before options and delivery. The builder says all 36 production slots for the new Dragonfly 36 were sold by the end of 2025, which suggests healthy demand for new boats.

For a used buyer this means the market for recent boats is firm. The 2023 and 2024 boats we saw were advertised close to the €200,000 mark for a 28 and above €300,000 for a 32, so a young used boat saves less money than many people expect. Older boats are where the larger savings are, and where careful inspection matters most.

How to judge whether an asking price is fair

A short, repeatable method works better than any single average:

• Step 1, collect comparables: write down three to five boats of the same model and a similar year, with their asking price, country, VAT status and version.
• Step 2, normalise: put all prices on the same VAT basis and in the same currency, and ignore listings that look stale or have been repriced repeatedly.
• Step 3, adjust for equipment: add or subtract for things such as a newer engine, a carbon mast, a trailer or tired sails, using realistic replacement costs.
• Step 4, test the outlier: a price far below the rest is a question, not a bargain. Ask why, then verify the answer through a survey.
• Step 5, set your ceiling before you visit: decide what you will pay, so a good sea trial does not talk you past your budget.

Where the real cost shows up after the purchase

The purchase price is only part of the budget. Plan for a survey, transport or delivery, insurance, a first service and any work found during inspection. A thorough inspection checklist for a used trimaran helps you find those costs before you sign rather than after. If you only want the cheapest way in, the classics are covered in more detail in our guide to Dragonfly 800, 920 and 1000 prices.

Pricing your own Dragonfly

If you are selling, use the same comparables method in reverse. Start from the ranges above, adjust for your boat’s equipment and condition, and put a realistic price on the advert from day one. When you are ready, you can place your ad on 3Hulls. Check the figures against live listings first, because this article is a snapshot from November 2026.
