IN BRIEF

Sell Your Boat Split

In Split, European Yacht Brokers manages everything to sell your boat, including valuation, marketing, legal documents, and negotiations, with expert support both locally and in international markets.

Start your sale with EYB head office

When you are ready to sell your boat Split, your first step is to contact European Yacht Brokers head office. The team at head office will ask you for key details about your boat, such as its specifications, maintenance history, and any upgrades or special features. This information helps EYB understand your vessel and the market in Split so they can give you an accurate, initial valuation. This initial valuation is based on current market conditions and boats similar to yours, but it is not a guarantee of the final selling price.

After discussing your yacht and gathering the necessary information, the head office representatives will talk through the terms of sale with you. You and EYB will agree on the sale terms, including the commission, which is always a flat 5%. Once the details are confirmed, the sale process moves forward with the support of the EYB team.

Brokerage requirements in Croatia

Croatia’s published boat and yacht registration procedures set requirements for the vessel and its owner, not a separate yacht-sales broker licence. Brokerage in Split must not be confused with the statutory entry or amendment of the craft’s register record. For an existing boat entering the Croatian register, provide proof of ownership, documents showing registration eligibility and technical status, plus a deletion certificate from the previous flag register where applicable. Croatian Ministry of the Sea, instructions for boat registration

A legal sale must be recorded in writing, with the signature of the person transferring the right certified. The new owner must request an ownership-data change within 30 days of acquiring the boat. The Croatian Vessel Register also records mortgages and restrictions, so check the relevant register entries before completion. EU customs guidance says a boat remaining in EU customs territory normally retains Union-goods status; retain invoices and import evidence relevant to VAT.

Viewings and trials for your boat in Split

When you sell your boat Split with European Yacht Brokers, our head office coordinates the entire sale and arranges viewings with potential buyers. Our local broker, familiar with the region, supports these viewings and ensures everything meets Croatia’s brokerage requirements. Once a buyer is interested, they can request a survey and sea trial as part of the process. You will have the support of our team at every stage, from the initial enquiry to these important steps, so you can be confident your sale is handled professionally and in line with local regulations.

Deposit, contracts and completion process

A 10% deposit from the buyer is required in escrow once you have agreed on an offer and the sale terms. This deposit acts as a commitment while the details of the sale contract are honoured by both sides.

When the specified contract conditions are met, the buyer releases the remaining funds, which are paid directly to you as the seller. This ensures that your sale is protected and the handover of funds is carried out securely.

Seller's checklist

  • Gather the ownership documents, registration papers and tax status.
  • Collect invoices, manuals and the maintenance history.
  • Prepare an up-to-date inventory of equipment.
  • Agree the mandate, asking price and viewing arrangements in writing.
  • Have the boat clean, tidy and ready to demonstrate its systems.
  • Weigh every offer with written conditions and clear timings.
  • Arrange secure payment and handover with a signed record.
