YACHT BROKERS
Free valuation · only 5% commission
If you are choosing yacht brokers Roscoff – Bloscon, 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 Roscoff – Bloscon, with a free valuation, a commission of just 5% and a local broker for Brittany supported from Cannes.

Which yacht broker do you need at Roscoff – Bloscon?
Three questions decide which yacht broker you need at Roscoff – Bloscon. Are you selling? Then you want a seller’s broker, who markets the yacht and passes you the offers. Are you buying? Then you want a buyer’s broker, who researches the market and negotiates for you. Want one person to see the whole deal through? A full-service broker can do that and, if both parties agree in writing, represent both sides. See the sections below for each.
We are yacht brokers by profession, and we make it easy: a no-cost valuation, a commission of just 5%, over 20 international platforms including YachtWorld, six languages and a local broker who can reach any French marina, including Roscoff – Bloscon, 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 Roscoff – Bloscon? Our seller’s broker takes the work off you: a free valuation, 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.
Some owners choose a listing and marketing service and nothing more. The broker then advertises the yacht, hands any offer to the owner and takes no responsibility for negotiating or managing what follows. This can work as a clearly defined service, but it should not be taken as the standard seller’s broker. Published guidance usually includes work after the offer, with Horizon Yachts International describing the deposit, survey and sea-trial stages and YachtWorld explaining that a broker may arrange a survey and sea trial.
The handover point matters, so ask before you sign. Who negotiates price and conditions? Who prepares or explains the paperwork? Who tracks deadlines and contingencies, arranges survey and sea-trial access, and coordinates closing, payment and the transfer documents? Tasks the broker leaves out may need separate professional help.
The listing broker acts for the seller. If you are a buyer contacting that broker directly, ask whom the broker represents and whether you should have your own representative. Another broker can bring a buyer through a co-brokerage arrangement, in which firms may share commission under their agreement, and the seller should check what that means for fee and service in their contract. This is why the profile is best read as a seller’s listing broker with limited scope rather than a definition of yacht brokerage. It holds equally at Roscoff – Bloscon.

If you are buying around Roscoff – Bloscon, European Yacht Brokers can act as your buyer’s broker. We discuss your plans, size, budget and priorities, research the market, help you compare boats and prepare your offer, and coordinate the survey and sea trial with the seller’s broker. Our brokers speak six languages, so you can deal with us in yours.
A buyer’s broker is engaged to represent the purchaser throughout the search and purchase. The first step can be a discussion of what the buyer wants: yacht type, size, budget, location and priorities. The broker can then study the market, pick out possible boats, gather information from the listing brokers, check the available records and help the buyer weigh up the choices. Some also preview yachts or set up remote viewings, so the client can shortlist before making a journey.
After a yacht is chosen, the broker’s role is to help prepare and negotiate an offer, make the steps and deadlines clear and stay in touch with the seller’s listing broker. The transaction may include a purchase agreement, deposit and escrow, an independent marine survey, specialist inspections, a sea trial and talks after the inspections. The broker can help coordinate all this and keep people communicating; the assessment of the yacht itself belongs to the surveyor, because a broker does not replace an independent technical inspection.
Some yacht brokerages publish what their buyer services include: research, negotiation, survey coordination, sea-trial arrangements and assistance with closing documentation. At Curtis Stokes & Associates that means helping buyers research and preview yachts, prepare offers, negotiate and find surveyors and documentation support; HMY describes coordinating survey and sea-trial stages, post-survey discussions and closing. Since services vary, buyers should ask what the broker will handle and what remains theirs.
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 Roscoff – Bloscon should ask these questions before appointing a broker.

At Roscoff – Bloscon, European Yacht Brokers can act as a full-service broker: one team that looks after the sale from the first conversation to the transfer of funds. Where you want us to represent both buyer and seller, the arrangement is set out in writing for both parties.
From the owner’s first call to completion, a full-service broker can manage the sale. That may mean assessing the yacht and the asking price, preparing photographs and particulars, advertising, dealing with enquiries, arranging viewings, communicating offers, and helping the parties move an accepted offer through contract, deposit, survey, sea trial and closing. Documentation, escrow arrangements, delivery and other practical details may be included too, depending on the agreement; the precise service belongs in the listing and sale documents.
In this profile the broker also deals directly with the buyer and represents both buyer and seller, which the Yacht Brokers Association of America calls dual agency: one broker acting for both parties in the same transaction. A listing broker who merely helps a buyer with the sale, while still appointed by the seller, is a different thing. Before making an offer, a buyer should ask the broker to explain the relationship.
A broker for both sides faces two sets of interests. Sellers generally want the strongest price and terms; buyers want a suitable yacht at a fair price and need to make informed decisions on its condition. Private negotiation for each side, as two independent representatives would do, is not possible for one broker. The YBAA discussion therefore stresses transparency about the arrangement and careful handling of confidential information, and the parties should rely on the written agreement and applicable local advice, since the legal rules and permitted arrangements vary by jurisdiction.
Commission is often covered in the seller’s listing agreement, but not always in the same way, so a buyer should confirm whether any separate fee is owed. Keep the terms apart: full-service refers to the range of work, dual agency to the parties represented. Extensive transaction support is possible without representing 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 in less than sixty minutes; the local broker can arrange a visit to your boat and provide a valuation at no charge.
Our people are where your boat is. Delegates and agents work across every coastal region of France, namely Brittany, Normandy, Hauts-de-France, Pays de la Loire, Nouvelle-Aquitaine, Occitanie, Provence-Alpes-Côte d’Azur and Corsica, so a client at Roscoff – Bloscon in Brittany can have the local broker visit the boat and talk things through quickly, while the Cannes head office stays your single point of contact.
To begin a valuation, download our Sales Mandate and Evaluation Sheet. Using the boat’s details and condition we study the market and prepare a precise, evidence-based valuation informed by the sales data available to us for boats worldwide over the past three years. A valuation is an assessment of likely market value, rather than a guarantee of the eventual sale price.
Your regional broker does the work once you appoint us: finding the buyer or the right boat, and guiding you through the transaction to completion and the successful transfer of funds. Boats go onto over 20 platforms throughout Europe, giving them visibility beyond France, and an international audience can often help secure a stronger price than relying on local demand alone. With six languages spoken among our brokers, we can connect you with someone who speaks yours.
