What to Know When Buying in Portugal

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 Lisbon. 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

“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.”
