Although not a Hitler yacht, aviso "Hela" whose design was as a fleet tender, still exists and is on the market for approximately $1.2mm (down from $3mm), being offered in Sevastopol through numerous brokers. This 99 meter ship was undamaged during WWII and served at the personal yacht of the Black Sea fleet commander and later on as an accomodation ship. There was a fire in the 90's that put paid to its engines, but according to current literature, she is now capable of cruising. Here are several sites with the last providing a line drawing. The first site shows current photos.
