Portugal’s official recreational-craft instructions describe registration and transfer procedures but do not set out a separate yacht-sales broker licence. A broker’s mandate should not be mistaken for the buyer’s required ownership filing. The separate property register records who owns a vessel and bases the entry on a document transferring ownership, such as a sale contract. Keep the current maritime title and the signed acquisition document. These national rules apply in Azores. DGRM, transfer of ownership of a recreational craft
The future owner or a legal representative submits the transfer online through BMar. The file includes a copy of the seller’s existing licence or equivalent document and proof of acquisition. First registration can also require proof of ownership, such as a purchase contract or invoice, and EU conformity or builder documentation depending on craft type. EU customs guidance says a boat remaining in EU customs territory normally retains Union-goods status; retain invoices and import evidence relevant to VAT. European Commission, guidance on VAT and customs for pleasure craft Institute of Registries and Notaries, registration of vessel ownership
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. DGRM, first recreational craft registration
