Spanish maritime procedures set out registration and ownership-transfer duties for recreational boats, but do not create a separate yacht-sales broker licence. In Basque Country, a broker should therefore distinguish the brokerage agreement from the statutory change of owner. Check whether the craft uses the general flagging and registration route or the special registration regime available to certain CE-marked boats up to 12 metres; retain its current registration certificate or navigation permit. Spanish Maritime Administration, ownership and registration procedures
The seller must notify the Maritime Administration of the transfer within three months of its date; the buyer may also notify it. The filing must include documents that justify the change. The signed sale agreement, vessel identification and current registry papers help connect the contract to the record being changed. EU customs guidance says a boat remaining in EU customs territory normally retains Union-goods status; retain invoices and import evidence relevant to VAT.
