What to Know When Buying in France

The French maritime guidance addresses owners’ sale and registration obligations rather than a special licence for a broker selling a private pleasure craft. The formal transfer still has to reach the competent pleasure-craft service. The sale deed should match the craft’s identifying details and be retained with its current registration certificate. First registration and a change of owner are distinct administrative steps. The national process also governs sales in Normandy. French Ministry for the Sea, buying, selling and registering recreational vessels

The seller initiates the transfer through the national pleasure-craft service, enters the purchaser’s details and supplies a scanned deed of sale. A change of ownership is reported to the relevant departmental maritime service. Retain current vessel papers with the contract. EU customs guidance says that a craft remaining in the EU customs territory normally keeps Union-goods status, supported by invoices and import records. European Commission, guidance on VAT and customs for pleasure craft French public service, online recreational vessel procedures

For Normandy, 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

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.”

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

“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.”
