Your Buying Journey with EYB

When you are interested in boats for sale Catalonia, your first step is to contact EYB head office and share the type of boat or specific model you want to buy. The head office manages your enquiry, and a local broker with knowledge of the boat’s area arranges to support your viewing. You can see the available boats for sale Catalonia on the page above and ask any questions you may have about them.

The EYB sales team is ready to answer your enquiries and support you through viewings and negotiations in your language. If you wish, you can arrange a survey, haul-out, or sea trial at your own expense before making an offer. When you and the seller agree on the sale terms, you pay a 10% deposit into escrow. A qualified lawyer prepares the sale contract, which sets the conditions. When the conditions are met, you pay the balance directly to the seller and the lawyer completes the registration and administration.

What to Know When Buying in Spain

Spanish maritime procedures set out registration and ownership-transfer duties for recreational boats, but do not create a separate yacht-sales broker licence. In Catalonia, 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. European Commission, guidance on VAT and customs for pleasure craft Spanish Maritime Administration, recreational craft registration

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. European Commission, guidance on VAT and customs for pleasure craft

WHAT CLIENTS SAY

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.”

Ricardo Ernst

“I cannot speak more highly of the service provided by Sara and Peter at European Yacht Brokers. They were pro active and professional and arranged the sale of my yacht exceptionally well. I would give them 6 stars if I could.”

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.”

Thomas Knorr

“Sara was amazing from start to finish and went way above and beyond to get my yacht sold. I couldn’t recommend her enough.”

Paul Sweeney

Google review

“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.”

Martin Nyman

“I just completed the sale of my catamaran through EYB and the service was stand out the whole way through. Peter, Sarah and the team went above and beyond my expectations and managed the whole process completely hassle-free. I am very glad I chose EYB and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them going forward.”

Jason Batt

Client review

“Highly competent professionals, with a very personal and friendly approach, and a large international client base. They are multilingual and can communicate in many languages. Sara demonstrated extensive experience, so I consider it a wise decision to have entrusted them with the sale of my 23-meter sailboat. I highly recommend them.”
