What to Know When Buying in France

France’s published recreational-craft sale procedure does not establish a dedicated licence for yacht sales brokers. It does require the parties to follow the official owner-change process for the vessel. A signed deed and existing vessel papers form the practical file for the transfer; a boat that has not previously been registered in France follows the first-registration route. Pays de la Loire follows these national requirements. French Ministry for the Sea, buying, selling and registering recreational vessels

A French-registered boat’s transfer is initiated by its seller using the government pleasure-craft portal; the buyer’s details and a scan of the signed deed are required for the ownership update. Preserve the existing registration document with the contract. A boat remaining in EU customs territory generally retains Union status; keep the purchase invoice and available customs evidence with the sale file. European Commission, guidance on VAT and customs for pleasure craft French public service, online recreational vessel procedures

In Pays de la Loire, EYB arranges local brokerage support consistent with these requirements, while a qualified lawyer prepares the contract of sale and handles registration. Keep a file linking the seller, the identified craft and its registration record. 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.

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

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.
