Which yacht broker do you need at Port de Sóller?
There are three ways a yacht broker can work. For an owner who sells, the broker lists, advertises and presents offers. For a purchaser, the broker searches, compares and negotiates on the buyer’s behalf. And a full-service broker can take charge of the transaction from start to finish, representing both parties only where this is agreed in writing and explained openly. Which one suits you at Port de Sóller depends on your plans.
Why choose us? We know this market. Our valuations draw on sales data for boats worldwide over the past three years, we advertise on over 20 international platforms, including YachtWorld, our brokers speak six languages, and we charge just 5% commission. At Port de Sóller a local broker can visit your boat quickly, backed by our Valencia head office. Send us your boat’s details for a valuation free of charge and tell us which service you want.
Here is what you get from us as a seller at Port de Sóller: a free, evidence-based valuation, a listing prepared with photographs and full particulars, advertising on over 20 international platforms including YachtWorld, replies to every enquiry and arranged viewings. We charge 5% and spell out in the agreement exactly which services are included.
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.
The limited version of the service is simple: the broker advertises the yacht, passes an offer to the owner and does not negotiate or manage the remainder of the transaction. Some sellers want exactly that. It is a defined service, but it is not what every seller’s broker offers. Guidance on selling a yacht commonly covers the stages after an offer as well; Horizon Yachts International describes deposit, survey and sea trial, and YachtWorld says a broker may arrange a 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 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 Port de Sóller.

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 de Sóller. 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.
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.
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.
Payment is not the same everywhere. Either the buyer’s broker receives an agreed share of the commission through a cooperating listing broker, or the buyer owes a fee under a separate representation agreement. Put the fee, duration, scope of authority and any exclusivity in writing before the search begins. The purchaser then has a dedicated representative across a wider search, even where another brokerage holds the listing. Purchasers searching near Port de Sóller should ask these questions before appointing anyone.

European Yacht Brokers offers full service at Port de Sóller: valuation, advertising, viewings, offers and the steps to completion, handled by one team in six languages. Representing both sides is possible by written agreement, which sets out what is included and how the arrangement works.
Full service describes a broker who can look after the whole sale. After the first conversation with the owner the work may include assessing the yacht and asking price, photographs and particulars, advertising, enquiries, viewings and the communication of offers, then helping both parties move an accepted offer through the contract, deposit, survey, sea trial and closing. The broker may also coordinate documentation, escrow, delivery and other details. Set the precise service out in the listing and sale documents.
Dual agency means one broker represents both parties in the same transaction, as the Yacht Brokers Association of America describes it. In this profile the broker deals directly with the buyer and represents buyer and seller alike. It differs from a listing broker who helps a buyer with the sale but remains appointed to represent the seller. Ask the broker to explain the relationship before you make an offer.
Buyer and seller want different things. Generally the seller seeks the strongest price and terms, while the buyer wants a suitable yacht at a fair price and has to make informed decisions about its condition. One broker for both cannot negotiate privately for each side as two independent representatives would. The YBAA discussion stresses transparency about the arrangement and careful handling of confidential information. Because the rules and permitted arrangements vary by jurisdiction, the parties should rely on the written agreement and local advice.
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.
Our Spanish operations are coordinated from the Valencia head office, with brokers covering the coastal regions and many marinas across Spain. You speak first to the Valencia team, who put you in touch with the broker responsible for your area. Thanks to the regional network, a broker can reach any Spanish marina in less than an hour, arrange a visit to your boat and provide a valuation at no charge.
Owners and buyers at Port de Sóller, Balearic Islands, deal with the broker for that area, and the same applies along the rest of the Spanish coast. Our agents and delegates cover Catalonia, the Valencian Community, Murcia, Andalusia, the Balearic Islands, the Canary Islands, Galicia, Asturias, Cantabria and the Basque Country, and they can talk to customers and visit their boats quickly, working with the Valencia head office.
Start a valuation by downloading our Sales Mandate and Evaluation Sheet. From the boat’s details and condition we can study the market and produce a precise, evidence-based valuation, drawing on the sales data we hold for boats worldwide over the past three years. Remember that a valuation assesses likely market value; it does not guarantee the eventual sale price.
When you appoint us, the regional broker takes over the work of finding a buyer, or of helping you find the right boat, and guides you to completion and the successful transfer of funds. Boats are advertised on over 20 platforms across Europe, which gives them visibility beyond the Spanish market; international buyers can often help secure a stronger price than local demand alone. And because our brokers speak six languages between them, we can connect you with someone who speaks your language.

The owner instructs a seller’s broker to bring the yacht to market and seek a buyer: helping set an asking price, preparing the listing, advertising it, answering enquiries and arranging viewings.
The buyer’s broker acts for the purchaser, researching the market, identifying boats, comparing options, and helping prepare and negotiate an offer.
The seller generally wants the strongest price and terms, while the buyer wants a suitable yacht at a fair price. A single broker cannot act as two independent negotiators, so the arrangement and the handling of confidential information should be clear.

We study the market using the sales data available to us for boats worldwide over the past three years and prepare an evidence-based valuation. It assesses likely market value; it cannot guarantee the price achieved.
