What to Know When Buying in Portugal

In Portugal, the published boat-transfer process is an administrative registration task for the buyer or representative; it does not state a standalone yacht-broker licence. For the property record, the buyer may file the title issued by the maritime authority and evidence of acquisition, including the purchase contract. The same country-level duties apply in Portugal. DGRM, transfer of ownership of a recreational craft

To record a Portuguese recreational-craft sale, the purchaser files the application online and attaches the seller-named licence or equivalent and the document proving the purchase. For a new or newly imported entry, the first-registration checklist requires proof of ownership and technical conformity documentation. Keep original invoices and import evidence for the VAT file, since EU guidance generally treats a boat in EU customs territory as retaining Union-goods status. European Commission, guidance on VAT and customs for pleasure craft Institute of Registries and Notaries, registration of vessel ownership

EYB arranges local brokerage support for Portugal in accordance with these requirements, with a qualified lawyer preparing the sale contract and handling registration. Confirm the recorded owner against the vessel papers and retain copies of the completed transfer documents. DGRM, first recreational craft registration

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.”

“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.”
