YATCO Yacht Listing Scraper

Extract public yacht-for-sale listings from YATCO into structured JSON for yacht brokers, market analysts, and buyers tracking inventory and asking prices.

What it extracts

Each dataset item is one unique public yacht listing. The actor returns the canonical listing URL, vessel title, asking price and currency, year, length (feet and meters), description, images, visible specifications, location, and public broker fields when YATCO exposes them. Fields that are not public on a listing are returned as null or an empty collection, not guessed.

When to use it

Use this actor to monitor a public YATCO search page, collect selected YATCO listing URLs, or build a clean yacht-inventory dataset. Give it a https://www.yatco.com/yachts-for-sale/ URL or a public https://www.yatco.com/yacht/.../ listing URL.

It does not submit contact forms, access member-only data, bypass authentication, or infer private seller information.

Input

Field	Purpose
startUrls	One or more public YATCO search or listing URLs.
maxResults	Hard cap from 1 to 1,000 records; default 25.
enrichDetails	Uses detail-page enrichment when a page URL requires it; search results already include public specifications, broker fields, and an image.
proxyCountry	Optional two-letter country preference for Apify Residential proxy; default US.

Example input:

{
  "startUrls": [{ "url": "https://www.yatco.com/yachts-for-sale/" }],
  "maxResults": 25,
  "enrichDetails": true,
  "proxyCountry": "US"
}

Output

{
  "recordType": "listing",
  "listingUrl": "https://www.yatco.com/yacht/2020-tiara-yachts-43-what-the-hull/",
  "title": "WHAT THE HULL",
  "year": 2020,
  "price": 715000,
  "currency": "USD",
  "lengthFeet": 43.33,
  "location": "Fort Lauderdale, Florida, United States",
  "imageUrls": [],
  "specifications": {},
  "scrapedAt": "2026-07-22T12:00:00.000Z"
}

The OUTPUT key-value record summarizes records emitted, failed requests, non-fatal warnings, and completion time. A valid search with no results finishes successfully and produces an honest summary.

API and agent use

This actor is designed for a narrow tool call: provide a public YATCO URL and receive schema-stable yacht listings. Use maxResults to control scope and cost. If your workflow needs only card-level data, set enrichDetails to false for faster collection.

Pricing

The actor uses pay per event: $0.015 per unique yacht listing emitted. Duplicate URLs are not charged twice, and the actor stops emitting when Apify's event charge limit is reached. Apify platform and proxy usage may be billed separately under your account plan.

Cost examples

• 25 listings (default) → $0.375
• 100 listings → $1.50
• 1,000 listings → $15.00

Reliability and limits

Search inputs and listing URLs both resolve through YATCO's public, short-lived signed search API, which avoids depending on Cloudflare-protected page markup. Listing URLs are matched by their trailing public vessel ID (MLSID/VesselID). Only if the API fails or a listing has no resolvable ID does the actor fall back to a low-concurrency Camoufox browser with persistent sessions and challenge handling. The actor records warnings in OUTPUT rather than silently treating blocked pages as empty searches. YATCO's public interfaces can change; run a small canary input after changes and inspect the returned fields before scheduling large runs.

Responsible use

Only collect public data you are entitled to process. Respect YATCO's terms, applicable privacy laws, and reasonable request volumes. Do not use this actor to harvest or contact individuals.

Support

When reporting a problem, include the Actor run ID, a redacted input, the expected result, and a small public example URL when applicable. Do not post API tokens, cookies, credentials, or personal data in an issue.

Frequently asked questions

Can I schedule YATCO Yacht Listing Scraper?

Yes. Use an Apify schedule to run the same saved input at a chosen interval, then connect a webhook or integration to process the dataset when the run finishes.

How should I test a new input?

Begin with the prefilled example or a small limit. Confirm that the output fields, source coverage, runtime, and live charges match your workflow before increasing the scope.

How do I export the results?

Open the run's default dataset in Apify Console and export JSON, CSV, Excel, XML, or RSS. Applications can retrieve the same records through the Apify API client or REST dataset endpoint.

Can an AI agent call this Actor?

Yes. Add muhammadafzal/yatco-yacht-listing-scraper through the hosted Apify MCP server or call it through the API. The Actor's input and dataset schemas help agents construct valid requests and interpret returned records.
