What to Know When Buying in Portugal

The Portuguese government pages cited here regulate the vessel’s registration and title update rather than defining a special authorisation for a private yacht sales broker. Portugal’s property registry accepts a contract that transfers ownership as the basis for recording the new owner, alongside the title document issued by the competent maritime authority. The national process also governs sales in Centre. DGRM, transfer of ownership of a recreational craft

A buyer, or the buyer’s legal representative, requests the change in ownership using DGRM’s online service and uploads the current boat document still in the seller’s name plus acquisition evidence. If the vessel needs its first Portuguese registration, DGRM lists ownership evidence and conformity or builder papers among the required documents. For a boat kept in EU customs territory, Union-goods status normally continues; preserve its original invoice and any import records relevant to VAT. European Commission, guidance on VAT and customs for pleasure craft Institute of Registries and Notaries, registration of vessel ownership

For Centre, 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. DGRM, first recreational craft registration

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.”

“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.”
