What to Know When Buying in France

French official recreational-vessel procedures explain the sale and registration steps but do not prescribe a distinct yacht-sales broker licence. In Brittany, use a written brokerage mandate and keep it separate from the vessel’s sale deed. Keep the boat’s registration certificate and a signed deed identifying the parties and vessel. If it is being registered for the first time in France, follow the separate registration procedure rather than treating the sale notification as a new registration. French Ministry for the Sea, buying, selling and registering recreational vessels

For a used vessel already registered in France, the seller starts the online ownership-change process, identifies the buyer and uploads a scanned sale deed. The sale must also be brought to the attention of the DDTM or DML pleasure-craft service. Keep the registration certificate with the sale deed. For an EU boat, retain invoices and import evidence relevant to VAT; Union status generally continues while it remains in the EU customs territory. European Commission, guidance on VAT and customs for pleasure craft French public service, online recreational vessel procedures

EYB arranges local brokerage support in line with these requirements, and its qualified lawyer prepares the sale contract and handles registration. Compare the seller’s title with the vessel and register details, then retain signed copies of the completed file. European Commission, guidance on VAT and customs for pleasure craft

Sailing conditions in Brittany

At Crouesty, the marina is accessible at all tides with day access following a marked 0.5-nautical-mile channel dredged to -1.80 m, though depths can be less in places and at high coefficients, so consultation of the logbook is advised. The entrance may be busy and the marina features narrow causeways. Brest / Marina du Moulin Blanc offers easy access day and night and in all weather, with a focus on technical support and environmentally friendly port equipment. Port Haliguen lies on the eastern side of the Quiberon peninsula, facing the Baie de Quiberon, and is described as well sheltered despite its position. The normal north-west approach to Port Haliguen runs through the rocky Passage de Teignouse, while approaches from other directions are less constrained.

Cruising from Brittany

A boat based in Brittany can cruise from Crouesty, which is an ideal stop for entering or leaving the Morbihan and is close to the Gulf entrance. From there, sea access aligns onward coastal cruising towards Port-Navalo and the Gulf, with sailing towards the islands and Gulf of Morbihan also noted. At Brest, Marina du Moulin Blanc provides a practical base for cruising the Bay of Brest as well as for arranging repairs, launching or hauling. Port Haliguen marina offers access to the Quiberon cruising area and is close to Belle-Ile, Houat and Hoedic. The marina is also linked to catamaran cruises, excursions, heritage-boat trips, jet-ski excursions and sea-fishing guides, while coastal walking and cycling routes run from the marina along the peninsula.

Stories from those who have already chosen to sail with us

“I cannot emphasize enough how pleased I am with the services provided. In particular, with Sara, a true professional. She will diligently work with you to find the best alternative for your request and the follow-up is incredible. At all times she is engaged and find useful solutions to any of your requests. I am particularly impressed with her response time. No matter what time or what day she will get back to you immediately. I wish the scale of stars will allow for more than 5 for those exceptional cases that exceed expectations, this will definitely be one. I strongly recommend her.”

“I cannot speak more highly of the service provided by Sara and Peter at European Yacht Brokers. They were pro active and professional and arranged the sale of my yacht exceptionally well. I would give them 6 stars if I could.”

Neil Burton

Client review

“This is only the second time I’ve ever written a review. But European Yacht Brokers truly deserve it for their comprehensive service. They guided us step-by-step through the entire purchase process abroad. Sara, in particular, provided us with expert feedback at all times and guided us through the boat buying experience. Whether our future boat needed an inspection, maintenance, or technical modifications, Sara and her team on-site handled everything efficiently and without unnecessary bureaucracy. We found European Yacht Brokers to be open and honest brokers. They offer everything from a single source, and we would gladly use their services again if needed.”

Paul Sweeney

Google review

“We have nothing but good things to say about Peter and Sara and European Yacht Brokers. We have felt really safe and well taken care of all the time. Due to a health scare we weren’t the quickest in our decisions but they were really patient and never pushy with us. As someone else said the response times have always been incredibly quick and the way they have communicated has been friendly, professional and clear. In addition their willingness to help has continued long after we finished our business together.”

Jason Batt

Client review

“Highly competent professionals, with a very personal and friendly approach, and a large international client base. They are multilingual and can communicate in many languages.
