For a pleasure vessel sold in France, the official pages focus on the transaction deed and the registration record; they do not set out a standalone yacht-broker permit. The paperwork remains the owner’s responsibility to complete. The purchaser should receive the signed sale deed and current registration papers, then check that the correct procedure is used if the boat needs initial registration rather than a simple owner update. The same country-level duties apply in Hauts-de-France. French Ministry for the Sea, buying, selling and registering recreational vessels
When a registered French boat changes hands, the seller begins the digital declaration and provides the buyer’s identity details together with the scanned sale document. The DDTM or DML is the relevant service for the transaction. Keep the boat’s current certificate alongside the deed. Preserve the original invoice and import evidence relevant to VAT, as Union-goods status normally persists while the boat stays in EU customs territory.

Hauts-de-France includes 4 marinas listed by European Yacht Brokers. Calais Marina offers 393 berths. Port de plaisance de Saint-Valery-sur-Somme has capacity for 250 berths and accepts boats up to 16 metres. Port de plaisance d’Étaples-sur-Mer provides 200 berths and accommodates vessels up to 11 metres. Port de plaisance Vauban Gravelines takes boats up to 14 metres in length.
At Calais Marina, entry to Bassin Ouest depends on the tide, with the Henri Hénon bridge able to open from two hours before high tide to three hours after. VHF 17 is compulsory for movements in the outer and inner harbour, while VHF 9 is used for movements in Bassin Ouest. Port de plaisance de Saint-Valery-sur-Somme requires boats to arrive at buoy ATSO around 1.5 hours before high water and to follow the marked S1–S2 channel entrance; the Saint-Valery lock operates with the tide and can be passed 1.5 hours before high water, although a hydraulic flush may increase the current near the structure. At Port de plaisance d’Étaples-sur-Mer, access is generally allowed from two hours before to two hours after high water, with berthing recommended at high water, and strong currents are noted at large tidal coefficients.
Boats based in Hauts-de-France can use Calais Marina as a cross-Channel stopover, with Great Britain just over 20 nautical miles away. Sailors may plan coastal passages along the Channel, with the nearby Deux-Caps area offering a shore-based coastal-hiking objective. At Port de plaisance de Saint-Valery-sur-Somme, vessels can enter the Baie de Somme from sea, with ATSO located 34 nautical miles from Boulogne and 22 from Dieppe, berth at Saint-Valery, or continue on the Somme canal, where navigation requires requesting operation of the locks and other structures from the central operations post. Port de plaisance d’Étaples-sur-Mer provides access to the Canche estuary and English Channel waters, with a 240-berth marina and an entrance limited by depth, currents and sandbanks; passage planning should follow the port’s access guidance.
