Which yacht broker do you need at Marina degli Aregai?
Three questions decide which yacht broker you need at Marina degli Aregai. 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. Each is explained below.
Whether you are listing a yacht or looking for one, you deal with brokers who know the process from the first enquiry to the transfer of funds. Our Olbia head office connects you with a local broker for Liguria; the valuation is free, the commission is just 5%, and your yacht reaches buyers on over 20 platforms across Europe. Describe what you are after and we will say how we can help at Marina degli Aregai.
At Marina degli Aregai, European Yacht Brokers acts as your seller’s broker: we value the yacht, prepare the listing, advertise it, deal with enquiries and arrange the viewings, for a commission of just 5%. How much more we take on is agreed with you in writing, so you know exactly where our work starts and ends before you sign.
Owners appoint a listing broker to market the yacht and look for a buyer. The work can include helping to decide an asking price, collecting the yacht’s details and photographs, preparing and advertising the listing, replying to enquiries and arranging viewings. The agreement between owner and broker should say whether the appointment is exclusive or open, its length, the commission payable and the services covered.
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.
Be clear, before signing, about what the broker takes on. Negotiating price and conditions, preparing or explaining paperwork, tracking deadlines and contingencies, arranging survey and sea-trial access, coordinating closing, payment and transfer documents: each is either included or it is not, and any that are excluded may call for separate professional help.
A listing broker represents the seller. Buyers dealing with that broker directly need to ask whom it represents and whether they should have separate representation. Where another broker introduces the buyer, a co-brokerage arrangement may apply and the firms may split commission as agreed. The seller should confirm the effect on the fee and service in their own contract. That is why this profile describes a seller’s listing broker with limited scope rather than yacht brokerage as a whole, including for a boat berthed at Marina degli Aregai.

Tell us the type, size, budget and area you have in mind and our buyer’s broker will start the search for you around Marina degli Aregai. 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.
Appointing a buyer’s broker gives the purchaser a representative for the whole search. It can begin with a discussion of plans, yacht type, size, budget, location and priorities, after which the broker can research the market, identify boats, gather information from listing brokers, review records and help compare options. Some buyer brokers also preview yachts or arrange remote viewings, so the client narrows the choice before travelling.
With a yacht identified, the broker can prepare and negotiate the offer with the buyer, explain the transaction’s steps and deadlines and work with the seller’s listing broker. The process may bring a purchase agreement, deposit and escrow arrangements, an independent marine survey, specialist inspections, a sea trial and more discussions afterwards. The broker can coordinate those steps and keep communication moving. The independent technical inspection is the surveyor’s work, and the broker does not replace it.
Brokerages describe buyer services that cover research, negotiation, survey coordination, sea-trial arrangements and help with closing documentation. Curtis Stokes & Associates, for instance, describes helping buyers research and preview yachts, prepare offers, negotiate, and find surveyors and documentation support, while HMY describes coordinating the survey and sea-trial stages, discussions after the survey and closing. Services differ, so the buyer should ask what the broker will handle and what stays with the buyer.
A buyer’s broker can be paid by an agreed share of the commission through a cooperating listing broker, or by a fee the buyer owes under a separate representation agreement; arrangements vary. The fee, duration, scope of authority and any exclusivity belong in writing before the search begins. This gives the purchaser a dedicated representative across a wider search, including when another brokerage lists the chosen yacht. Buyers weighing up boats close to Marina degli Aregai should settle these points first.

At Marina degli Aregai, 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.
A broker offering full service can handle a sale from start to finish: assessing the yacht and its asking price, preparing photographs and particulars, advertising it, answering enquiries, arranging viewings and communicating offers, and then helping progress an accepted offer through contract, deposit, survey, sea trial and closing. Coordination of documentation, escrow arrangements, delivery or other practical details may be added. The listing and sale documents should state the precise service.
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.
Payment arrangements vary, though the seller’s listing agreement often addresses the commission. The buyer should check whether they owe any separate fee. Two terms are easily confused: full-service describes the range of work, and dual agency describes whom the broker represents. A broker can give extensive transaction support while representing only one side.
From our Olbia head office we manage a network of brokers serving Italy’s coastal regions and many of its marinas. The first conversation is with the Olbia team, who connect you with the broker for your area, and that broker can reach any Italian marina inside an hour, thanks to the network, to visit your boat and give a complimentary valuation.
Whichever Italian coast your boat lies on, there is a European Yacht Brokers delegate or agent in the region: Abruzzo, Basilicata, Calabria, Campania, Emilia-Romagna, Friuli-Venezia Giulia, Lazio, Liguria, Marche, Molise, Apulia, Sardinia, Sicily, Tuscany or Veneto. For Marina degli Aregai in Santo Stefano al Mare, that means the broker for Liguria, who can meet customers and see their boats quickly, with Olbia coordinating.
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.
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 Italian 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 listing agreement should say whether it is exclusive or open, how long it lasts and what commission is payable. We do not always ask for exclusivity.
A broker for the buyer represents 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.
Our brokers speak six languages between them, so we can put you in touch with a broker who speaks your language.
Yes. When an offer is accepted, we ask the buyer for a 10% deposit, paid into an escrow account, and the balance goes straight to the seller.
