Marinas price berths chiefly by beam as well as length, and the S60's 8.38&nbsp;m beam puts it in a wider pricing band than a monohull of the same 18.87&nbsp;m (60&nbsp;ft) LOA. Published day rates for yachts in the 12&ndash;20&nbsp;m class typically run &euro;3&ndash;&euro;6 per metre per day on a transient basis &mdash; well over &euro;20,000 across a high-season month if paid nightly. Owners who berth permanently do better: an annual contract at a marina such as Palma, Cannes, Limassol or Split typically brings that down to &euro;20,000&ndash;&euro;45,000 a year, depending on country, marina prestige, and whether the berth is wet year-round or seasonal only.<\/p>\n<p>This is one part of power catamaran running costs a buyer working with European Yacht Brokers doesn't have to shop for alone. Mooring is arranged as part of every sale across the agency's territory &mdash; France, Italy, Spain, Portugal, Croatia, Greece, Cyprus and Malta &mdash; so the berthing line above reflects real contracted rates the agency negotiates on an owner's behalf, not a number a first-time buyer has to discover by cold-calling harbour offices.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section data-particle_enable=\"false\" data-particle-mobile-disabled=\"false\" class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-0cba902 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"0cba902\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-e-type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-0877896\" data-id=\"0877896\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-8d8b8b3 elementor-widget elementor-widget-html\" data-id=\"8d8b8b3\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"html.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div style=\"max-width:1000px;margin:0 auto\"><div class=\"rpc\">\n<h2 id=\"fuel\">Fuel costs and the S60's twin Volvo Penta D6-440s<\/h2>\n<p>Propulsion is the second major variable in power catamaran running costs, and it depends far more on how a boat is used than on any single spec line. The OceanWalker S60 is fitted with twin Volvo Penta D6-440 diesel engines producing 880&nbsp;hp combined, giving a genuine cruising boat capable of covering real Mediterranean distances rather than one built purely for marina-to-marina hops. For an owner-operated S60 doing typical seasonal cruising &mdash; long weekends, a few weeks in high season, occasional longer passages within the boat's roughly 1,500&nbsp;nm range &mdash; fuel typically represents a smaller share of total running costs than berthing, insurance or maintenance, since most owners at this size cruise at moderate speeds rather than sustained wide-open throttle.<\/p>\n<p>Where the S60's specification genuinely moves the needle on power catamaran running costs is hotel load, not propulsion. The optional 22-panel, 9&nbsp;kW solar array doesn't reduce fuel burn on the main D6-440 engines, but it materially cuts how often the 32&nbsp;kW generator needs to run at anchor to power air conditioning, refrigeration and house systems. Less generator runtime means less generator fuel, fewer service hours logged, and a lighter maintenance interval on a second engine owners often forget to budget for at all, a theme covered in more depth on this site's <a href=\"\/solar-assisted-yachts\/\">solar-assisted yachts guide<\/a>. For an owner who anchors out often on passage between marinas, rather than staying dockside on shore power every night, that difference in generator hours compounds meaningfully across a full Mediterranean season, and it's one of the more overlooked levers on genuine power catamaran running costs.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section data-particle_enable=\"false\" data-particle-mobile-disabled=\"false\" class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-78f1fa2 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"78f1fa2\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-e-type=\"section\" data-settings=\"{&quot;background_background&quot;:&quot;classic&quot;}\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-f154b72\" data-id=\"f154b72\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-5e14dba elementor-widget elementor-widget-html\" data-id=\"5e14dba\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"html.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div style=\"max-width:1000px;margin:0 auto\"><div class=\"rpc\">\n<h2 id=\"insurance\">Insurance: a rule of thumb, not a guaranteed number<\/h2>\n<p>Insurance is one of the more misunderstood parts of power catamaran running costs because it's so often quoted as a single hard percentage. The honest industry rule of thumb for hull and machinery cover on a well-maintained yacht in this class is roughly 0.6%&ndash;1.5% of insured value per year, varying with cruising ground, claims history, age of vessel, and whether it's used privately, chartered, or both. Applied to the S60's &euro;3.2M price, that suggests an annual premium of &euro;19,000&ndash;&euro;48,000 &mdash; wide enough that buyers should treat it as a planning estimate, not a quote, and get an actual premium confirmed before finalising a budget. Specialist marine insurers such as <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pantaenius.com\/es-en\/insurance\/yacht-hull\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">Pantaenius<\/a> publish general guidance on how hull value, use and cruising area affect premiums.<\/p>\n<p>European Yacht Brokers doesn't underwrite insurance directly, but as part of every sale the agency can introduce buyers to marine insurance options suited to the S60 and the country of registration, so a new owner isn't starting that search from zero.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-d09d714 e-con e-atomic-element e-flexbox-base e-6f1bb71 \" data-id=\"d09d714\" data-element_type=\"e-flexbox\" data-e-type=\"e-flexbox\" data-interaction-id=\"d09d714\" data-e-type=\"e-flexbox\" data-id=\"d09d714\">\n    \t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-dd3f4c6 elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"dd3f4c6\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"768\" height=\"432\" src=\"https:\/\/revolutionpowercatamarans.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/1-1-1-768x432.jpg\" class=\"attachment-medium_large size-medium_large wp-image-754\" alt=\"Luxury Power Catamarans\" srcset=\"https:\/\/revolutionpowercatamarans.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/1-1-1-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/revolutionpowercatamarans.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/1-1-1-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/revolutionpowercatamarans.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/1-1-1-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/revolutionpowercatamarans.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/1-1-1-1536x864.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/revolutionpowercatamarans.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/1-1-1-18x10.jpg 18w, https:\/\/revolutionpowercatamarans.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/1-1-1.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\n<\/div>\n\t\t<section data-particle_enable=\"false\" data-particle-mobile-disabled=\"false\" class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-4676603 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"4676603\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-e-type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-9f6df16\" data-id=\"9f6df16\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-21d9908 elementor-widget elementor-widget-html\" data-id=\"21d9908\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"html.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div style=\"max-width:1000px;margin:0 auto\"><div class=\"rpc\">\n<h2 id=\"maintenance\">Maintenance, haul-out and VAT\/registration<\/h2>\n<p>Routine maintenance and haul-out make up the least glamorous but most consistent line in power catamaran running costs. Industry rule-of-thumb guidance &mdash; echoed by brokers and marine insurers across the sector &mdash; puts annual maintenance at roughly 10% of purchase price when treated as a single all-in figure; broken out on its own, routine maintenance and haul-out for a boat in the S60's class typically runs &euro;25,000&ndash;&euro;45,000 a year, varying with engine hours, local labour rates and how proactively an owner stays ahead of the service schedule.<\/p>\n<p>VAT and registration are a separate, mostly one-time consideration rather than an annual running cost, but they affect the real total cost of getting on the water.

A worked example: if an S60 owner charters the boat for 8&ndash;10 weeks across a Mediterranean high season, gross charter income can realistically offset &euro;40,000&ndash;&euro;120,000 of the estimated &euro;72,000&ndash;&euro;158,000 in annual running costs set out above &mdash; in a strong season, covering the majority of berthing, insurance and maintenance combined, before charter management fees and extra wear.<\/p>\n<p>This isn't a guarantee, and charter income depends heavily on marketing, location and season, but it's a real and commonly used strategy among owners in this class &mdash; the same charter-offset theme covered in full in this site's <a href=\"\/charter-management-ownership\/\">charter management for owners guide<\/a>. Owners considering this route should factor in charter management commission, typically 15%&ndash;30% of gross revenue, and the additional wear a chartered boat sees versus a private-use-only vessel, both of which reduce the net offset below the gross figure. Even a conservative, lightly-chartered season can meaningfully change the real annual power catamaran running costs a buyer ends up carrying, which is why this line deserves the same upfront planning as berthing or insurance rather than being treated as an afterthought.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section data-particle_enable=\"false\" data-particle-mobile-disabled=\"false\" class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-421f6ec elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"421f6ec\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-e-type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-153698a\" data-id=\"153698a\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-42ffdf3 elementor-widget elementor-widget-html\" data-id=\"42ffdf3\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"html.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div style=\"max-width:1000px;margin:0 auto\"><div class=\"rpc\">\n<h2 id=\"tco\">Total power catamaran running costs: the real annual number<\/h2>\n<p>Pulling the sections above together, total power catamaran running costs for an OceanWalker S60 in owner-operated Mediterranean use &mdash; berthing, insurance, maintenance and haul-out, and seasonal fuel &mdash; typically land between &euro;72,000 and &euro;158,000 a year, or roughly 2%&ndash;5% of the boat's &euro;3.2M purchase price, before any charter offset and before VAT, which is a one-time cost rather than annual.
