Caravelle 251 XL UR keeps an estimated 55% of its value after 5 years — #5552 of 5780 boats VINdown tracks. See the full curve and the best year to buy.
Per VINdown's modeling, the Caravelle 251 XL UR retains an estimated 55% of its value after five years, ranking #5552 of 5780 boats we track. That trails the 66% five-year average for Bowrider in its class by 11 points, so it depreciates faster than most rivals.
Most of the loss lands early: the Caravelle 251 XL UR sheds about 32% of its value in year one alone. From roughly $94,679 it falls to around $52,262 by year five — a five-year loss near $42,417, about $23.24 a day in depreciation.
Because the steepest drop hits around year 1, a lightly-used Caravelle 251 XL UR bought at 1 year old lets the first owner absorb the worst of the depreciation while the curve flattens — usually the value sweet spot.
