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 Occitanie, 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

“I cannot emphasize enough how pleased I am with the services provided. In particular, with Sara, a true professional.

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.
