Selling a boat in Port de Collioure
Selling at Port de Collioure with us leaves you with nothing to do. We qualify the enquiries, run the viewings and sea trials, arrange any inspection the survey calls for, and take care of the contract, the legal side and the transfer of ownership, from offer to handover.
Every valuation starts with a thorough market study. We have access to sales data, and for each boat we weigh the age, the prices obtained for comparable boats, its options, its condition, the service history and the area. The valuation is free, so you begin from a figure grounded in real sales.
The value of a boat is set by its condition, its model, its age and its equipment, and the area matters as well. Some boats sell better in America than in France, and vice versa, and a boat at Port de Collioure is judged on that basis, which is why the area is part of every valuation we give.
The market matters too. When the economy is healthy, boats sell well, and when credit is easy to find, buyers can finance them; when it dries up, fewer can. So we combine the valuation with patience and wide publicity on over 20 international platforms, on social media and on our own website, which draws many buyers. Usually, that finds the right buyer, and our commission is just 5%.

Offer, documents and handover.
Most owners underestimate the paperwork, especially when the boat changes flag or has to be re-registered. Insurance can be a problem, and someone has to check that the boat has no finance outstanding on it.
Then there is finding a serious buyer: private sellers often meet around 20 tyre-kickers and time-wasters before they call a broker. With so much scamming about today, you want a representative handling the payment, and dealing with extremely disagreeable buyers can be as unpleasant as selling a second-hand car.
A broker gets a better price than you will, because it is his job. For our 5% commission you are very likely ahead anyway, and you do no work. At European Yacht Brokers, we speak six languages, list on over 20 international platforms including YachtWorld, and organise the contract, the legal side and the transfer of ownership for owners at Port de Collioure.
You give us a mandate to sell your boat. We don’t always ask for exclusivity; we decide case by case. The contract can be terminated at any time.* *If a buyer we introduced during the mandate buys the boat later, we are still entitled to our commission.
A careful photo shoot, with the boat clean, tidy and shot in favourable light, is the first filter a buyer applies. Photos of the exterior, interior, deck, engine room and technical details, supplemented where useful by a short video, present the boat fully and consistently with the asking price, cutting down on pointless viewings.
The specification sheet gathers verified data: builder, model, year, dimensions, engines, equipment and work carried out. On this basis the listing is published on the main boating portals and shared with the broker network and professional contacts, to reach qualified buyers at home and abroad.
Before publication it helps to gather the ownership documents, the registration papers, evidence of VAT status where relevant, engine manuals, maintenance invoices and the inventory of equipment. Well-ordered paperwork speeds up the buyer’s checks and makes the negotiation more solid.
We check every enquiry before anyone sets foot on your boat. We confirm who the buyer is, whether the buyer is serious and what the buyer wants, so the time-wasters never reach your berth at Port de Collioure. Because we advertise on over 20 international platforms and answer in six languages, enquiries come from buyers in many countries, and every one of them is checked the same way.
We arrange the viewings and the sea trial, so you don’t have to show anyone round yourself. The sea trial is at the buyer’s expense, with a professional, insured captain, or you can come along yourself. That isn’t always advisable, because sellers are attached to their boats and buyers can use a sea trial to try to get the price down, but it is your decision.
A good viewing starts with a clean boat, systems ready to demonstrate, the records to hand, access agreed and an honest account of its condition. We tell you when a viewing is booked, so the boat is ready when the buyer arrives.
You give us a mandate to sell your boat. When we have a suitable offer, we put it to you. If you accept, we go ahead; if you don’t, we ask the buyer for a counter-offer, and the decision at each step is yours.
Once you accept an offer, we ask the buyer for a 10% deposit, paid into an escrow account. He can then arrange a survey and have the boat lifted out of the water at Port de Collioure, all at his own expense. If the survey is good, we go ahead with a sea trial, also at his expense, with a professional, insured captain, or with you on board if you prefer.
We then wait up to 15 working days for the survey report. If there is nothing structurally wrong with the boat, the sale goes ahead. If something is broken, it is fixed at the seller’s expense, and we organise the inspection and the solution. We also help you organise lifting the boat out of the water and give you a list of surveyors we are satisfied with, so the survey does not slow the sale down.
We organise the contract, the legal side and the transfer of ownership for your sale at Port de Collioure, so you do nothing. The 10% deposit is paid into an escrow account, and the balance goes straight to the seller.
The paperwork can be complicated, especially if the boat changes flag or has to be re-registered, and insurance can be a problem. We check too that the boat has no finance outstanding on it.
With so much scamming about today, you need a representative handling the payment, not you alone. That is part of our work: we arrange the contract, we deal with the legal side, and we see the transfer of ownership through, so the sale at Port de Collioure is finished properly. For our 5% commission you are very likely ahead anyway, and you do no work.
