For a boat in Dubrovnik, EYB brings together head-office management, local support, a qualified lawyer, international marketing and an experienced multilingual sales team.
Your first contact is EYB’s head office. Share the boat’s specifications, present condition, documents and berth in Dubrovnik so the team can understand what is being offered and provide an initial valuation.
The valuation helps frame the asking price and discussion about the sale. If you decide to proceed, EYB and the owner agree the mandate, including the flat 5% commission and the other terms that govern the appointment.
Once signed, the mandate gives the team a clear basis to coordinate marketing, enquiries and offers. The valuation is an initial view based on the details supplied; it is not a promise that a buyer will pay a particular amount.

EYB combines central coordination with support close to the boat. Head office manages the wider sale and links the owner, legal team, marketing department and sales team, while local support can help with enquiries about the boat’s marina and arrange visits.
This matters in Dubrovnik, where buyers may want practical information about the berth, access or local arrangements before making a journey. A contact familiar with the area can help explain those details and coordinate a viewing with the seller.
The network also gives a locally based boat exposure to buyers beyond its home port.
The legal department has a qualified lawyer who prepares the mandate and the contract used for the boat sale. The lawyer also handles registration and other administrative steps relevant to the transaction.
The owner first reviews the mandate, which captures the sale terms agreed with EYB. If an offer is accepted, the sale contract reflects the conditions agreed between the buyer and seller. The paperwork follows the facts of that boat and transaction.
In Dubrovnik, the same legal support applies to the boat’s sale, with administration handled for the specific vessel. The lawyer coordinates the required documents with the parties as the transaction progresses.
EYB promotes each boat with a mix of search optimisation, social media and relevant national and international sales platforms. The marketing department selects channels that suit the boat and the audience it may attract.
The listing content should describe the vessel plainly and accurately, including its equipment, history, condition and current berth in Dubrovnik. Good photographs and complete specifications give buyers a stronger basis for deciding whether to enquire.
The marketing and sales teams work together. If details change, or a buyer needs further information, the listing and follow-up can be coordinated so that the boat is represented consistently.
Multilingual communication is part of the sales process. EYB’s team handles enquiries from prospective buyers, organises viewings and supports negotiation through to the agreed next steps.
The team works with the owner to answer questions about a boat in Dubrovnik and coordinate a visit. Where local help is useful, it can support arrangements at the boat’s port. The buyer receives follow-up from the sales team after making an enquiry or attending a viewing.
Price, timing and conditions are discussed with the seller. EYB facilitates those discussions, but the owner decides whether to proceed with an offer.
The Croatian maritime rules cited here govern vessel registration and changes of ownership; they do not specify a standalone licence for yacht sales brokers. The new owner is responsible for the required register update. A vessel moving from a foreign register to Croatia needs evidence of ownership and a certificate showing deletion from its former register, alongside the technical and eligibility papers required for entry. The national process also governs sales in Dubrovnik. Croatian Ministry of the Sea, instructions for boat registration
After acquiring a registered boat, the buyer has 30 days to ask the competent Harbourmaster’s Office to update ownership. The sale contract must be written and the transferring owner’s signature certified. Search the boat’s register folio for recorded mortgages, restrictions or other entries affecting the owner’s ability to sell. For a boat kept in EU customs territory, Union-goods status normally continues; preserve its original invoice and any import records relevant to VAT.

For Dubrovnik, EYB arranges brokerage support in line with these requirements; its qualified lawyer prepares the sale contract and manages registration. Check the seller’s authority to transfer the boat and keep the signed contract and registry evidence. European Commission, guidance on VAT and customs for pleasure craft
If you are looking for a boat in Dubrovnik, tell EYB the type of boat, your budget and the stretch of coast you prefer. The sales team replies in the relevant languages and puts you in touch with the right local support.
For a boat based in Dubrovnik, EYB checks viewing requests with the seller and helps arrange a suitable appointment with local assistance. Buyer and seller may agree an independent survey or sea trial, subject to access and timing. They confirm the survey scope and practical conditions before the visit.
When you make an offer, EYB passes it to the owner and helps both sides agree the price and conditions. The lawyer then prepares the sale contract, and the purchase moves to deposit and completion, set out below.
Once the buyer and seller accept the terms, a 10% deposit is placed in escrow under the transaction arrangements. The written contract sets out who holds it and which agreed conditions must be fulfilled before release.
The rest of the price is paid straight to the seller after all conditions have been met. EYB helps coordinate the process, but the signed sale documents define the parties’ obligations and payment steps.
Seller's checklist

At Marina Frapa Dubrovnik, the berths are described as protected. ACI Marina Slano is sheltered within its bay. At ACI Marina Korčula, the street layout allows the maestral wind to pass through while sheltering the town from cold north-easterly winter winds.
Dubrovnik Airport (DBV) is the nearest airport to ACI Marina Dubrovnik (Komolac), Marina Frapa Dubrovnik, ACI Marina Slano and ACI Marina Korčula. It provides the primary air access for these locations. No other airports are listed in connection with the marinas mentioned. This establishes Dubrovnik Airport as the key air point for reaching these marinas.
