YACHT BROKERS
Free valuation · only 5% commission
If you are choosing yacht brokers Port Toga, start with the question that matters most: who do you want the broker to represent? A seller’s broker brings your yacht to market; a buyer’s broker finds and negotiates a purchase for you; a full-service broker can handle both sides when that is agreed in writing. European Yacht Brokers offers all three at Port Toga, with a valuation at no charge, a commission of just 5% and a local broker for Corsica supported from Cannes.

Which yacht broker do you need at Port Toga?
Here is the difference: a seller’s broker works for the owner and brings the yacht to market; a buyer’s broker works for the purchaser and finds, compares and negotiates; a full-service broker handles the sale from the first conversation to completion and, if you agree it in writing, can act for both sides. At Port Toga you can choose any of the three, and the written agreement sets out exactly what is included.
We are yacht brokers by profession, and we make it easy: a valuation at no charge, a commission of just 5%, over 20 international platforms including YachtWorld, six languages and a local broker who can reach any French marina, including Port Toga, in less than sixty minutes. Tell us whether you want to sell, buy or have one broker for both, and we will take it from there.
Selling a yacht kept at Port Toga? Our seller’s broker takes the work off you: a valuation free of charge, photographs and particulars, advertising on over 20 international platforms, the enquiries and the viewings. The agreement says what is included, how long it lasts and what commission is payable (just 5%), so there are no surprises.
The owner appoints a seller’s listing broker to take the yacht to market and find a buyer. Typical help includes agreeing an asking price, gathering the specifications and photographs, preparing the listing, advertising the yacht, answering enquiries and arranging viewings. The listing agreement should state whether the appointment is exclusive or open, its duration, the commission payable and the services the broker has agreed to provide.
A limited service exists for sellers who need only a listing and marketing arrangement. Here the broker advertises the yacht and passes an offer to the owner, while negotiation and the rest of the transaction stay outside the broker’s responsibility. It is a legitimate, defined service, though not a description of every seller’s broker. Many guides include post-offer work: Horizon Yachts International sets out the deposit, survey and sea-trial stages, and YachtWorld says a broker may arrange the survey and sea trial.
Check the handover point before you sign. Does the broker negotiate price and conditions, help with the paperwork, keep track of deadlines and contingencies, arrange access for the survey and sea trial, and coordinate closing, payment and transfer documents? Should some of these be excluded, the seller may need separate professional help.
The broker who lists the yacht represents the seller under the listing relationship. A buyer approaching that broker should ask whom the broker acts for and whether to appoint a separate representative. A buyer may also be introduced by another broker through co-brokerage, with the firms sharing commission according to their agreement, so the seller should confirm how that affects the fee and service under their own contract. Read it as a seller’s listing broker with a deliberately limited scope rather than a general definition, whether the yacht is at Port Toga or elsewhere.

Tell us the type, size, budget and area you have in mind and our buyer’s broker will start the search for you around Port Toga. We guide you through the offer, deposit and escrow, survey, sea trial and closing, and you always know what we will handle and what remains yours.
Buyers appoint a broker to act for them in finding and buying a yacht. Work begins with the buyer’s plans, preferred type, size, budget, location and priorities. The broker researches the market, identifies possible boats, asks the listing brokers for information, reviews the records that exist and helps the buyer compare options. A number of buyer brokers also preview yachts or arrange remote viewings, which helps the client narrow the field before travelling.
When the buyer has found a yacht, the broker can help prepare and negotiate the offer, explain the steps and deadlines and liaise with the seller’s listing broker. Expect a purchase agreement, deposit and escrow arrangements, an independent marine survey, specialist inspections, a sea trial and further discussion once the inspections are done. The broker helps coordinate these steps and keeps communication moving, but the surveyor assesses the yacht, and the broker does not replace an independent technical inspection.
Buyer services at yacht brokerages typically take in research, negotiation, survey coordination, sea-trial arrangements and assistance with closing documents. Examples: Curtis Stokes & Associates helps buyers research and preview yachts, prepare offers, negotiate and find surveyors and documentation support, and HMY coordinates the survey and sea-trial stages, post-survey discussions and closing. The service on offer varies, which is why the buyer should ask what the broker handles and what is left to the buyer.
Fees differ. The buyer’s broker may receive an agreed share of the commission through a cooperating listing broker, or the buyer may owe a fee under a separate representation agreement, so establish the fee, duration, scope of authority and any exclusivity in writing before the search begins. In return the buyer has a dedicated representative across a wider search, whichever brokerage lists the chosen yacht. Anyone considering a yacht near Port Toga should ask these questions before appointing a broker.

A single point of contact can make a sale smoother, and that is what our full-service broker offers owners and buyers at Port Toga. Dual agency is available only where it is agreed in writing, and we recommend you ask us to explain it before any offer is made.
The full-service yacht broker takes a sale from the owner’s first conversation through to completion. Typical tasks: assessing the yacht and its asking price, photographs and particulars, advertising, enquiries, viewings, communicating offers, and helping the parties through the contract, deposit, survey, sea trial and closing of an accepted offer. The broker may also coordinate documentation, escrow arrangements, delivery or other details. The listing and sale documents should record exactly what service is provided.
The broker in this profile deals with the buyer directly as well, representing buyer and seller together. That is what the Yacht Brokers Association of America terms dual agency: one broker, both parties, the same transaction. A listing broker who simply helps a buyer while remaining the seller’s appointed representative is not the same. Before making an offer, ask the broker how the relationship works.
Their interests are not the same: the seller generally wants the strongest price and terms, and the buyer wants a suitable yacht at a fair price with enough information to judge its condition. A broker acting for both cannot negotiate privately for each side as if there were two independent representatives. For that reason the YBAA discussion emphasises transparency about the arrangement and careful treatment of confidential information. Rules differ by jurisdiction, so the written agreement and applicable local advice should be relied on.
Check who pays what. The commission is often addressed in the seller’s listing agreement, yet arrangements vary and a buyer should find out whether a separate fee is owed. Full-service is about how much work the broker does; dual agency is about whom the broker represents. Extensive support through a transaction does not mean the broker represents both sides.
European Yacht Brokers directs its French operations from Cannes, with brokers serving coastal regions and many marinas throughout the country. Start with the Cannes team, who will connect you with the broker responsible for your area. The regional network lets us arrange for a broker to reach any French marina within the hour; the local broker can arrange a visit to your boat and provide a no-cost valuation.
Clients at Port Toga in Bastia, Corsica, are served by the broker for that area. Our delegates and agents look after all the coastal regions of France: Brittany, Normandy, Hauts-de-France, Pays de la Loire, Nouvelle-Aquitaine, Occitanie, Provence-Alpes-Côte d’Azur and Corsica. They can speak with customers and visit their boats at short notice, while the Cannes head office coordinates the work.
A valuation starts with the boat’s details and condition: download our Sales Mandate and Evaluation Sheet and we will study the market for you. The result is a precise, evidence-based valuation informed by the sales data available to us for boats worldwide over the past three years, and it is an assessment of likely market value rather than a guarantee of the sale price.
After appointment, your regional broker handles finding a buyer, or the right boat for you, and guides you through the transaction to completion and the successful transfer of funds. We advertise across over 20 platforms throughout Europe so boats are seen beyond the French market, and reaching international buyers can often help secure a stronger price than relying on local demand alone. Six languages are spoken between our brokers, so someone can talk to you in yours.
Whether you are listing a yacht at Port Toga or looking at one, the surroundings are worth knowing. The sections below describe the marina, Bastia and the area around it in Corsica, so that owners and buyers know what to expect before the first viewing.
Port Toga marina in Bastia offers 363 berths and accommodates boats up to 30 metres in length. Freshwater is available on the quays alongside 220/380V electricity supplies. The marina provides lifting and launching facilities for vessels. Technical support services are also available at Port Toga.
Bastia is located in Haute-Corse on the island of Corsica and developed around a Genoese stronghold built in 1378 above the fishing settlement known as Porto Cardo, now the Old Port. The old Citadel and its Governors’ Palace lend a historic character to the nearby city centre. Port Toga lies in Ville-di-Pietrabugno, adjacent to Bastia’s northern expansion. The setting reflects its origins as a fortified town with maritime connections, framed by its position on the Corsican coast.
Within Bastia, points of interest include the Citadel, Governors’ Palace, Sainte-Marie Cathedral and the seafront Aldilonda walkway. The Old Port offers a range of cafés and restaurants along its quays. Port Toga provides freshwater and 220/380V electricity on the quays for visiting yachts. These features support both leisure and practical needs for those using the marina close to the city.
Boats on the market near Port Toga are published in the European Yacht Brokers archive after local brokers add and verify them. Buyers can ask for a wider search, and owners can have a boat shown to buyers who are searching in Bastia, in Corsica and in nearby ports.
Call or WhatsApp the Cannes team on +33 6 0999 2657 and ask for the broker covering Bastia: a free valuation for sellers, a search for buyers and one point of contact for both.
Port Toga is accessible via the nearest airport, Aéroport de Bastia Poretta, which lies within driving distance. Access by public transport is available. This connects the local area to regional and international travel options.

Reviews from European Yacht Brokers clients, as published on Google (5.0, European Yacht Brokers) and on our client pages.
A listing broker acts for the seller. A buyer who contacts that broker should ask whom the broker represents and whether to have separate representation.
No. The surveyor assesses the yacht and the broker does not replace an independent technical inspection, but the broker can help organise the survey and sea trial.
Not by default. A listing broker who helps a buyer with the sale may still be appointed to represent the seller. The written agreement decides.
Our brokers speak six languages between them, so we can connect you with someone who speaks your language.
We take care of it. We organise the contract, the legal side and the transfer of ownership, so you have nothing to do.
