Selling a boat in Marina di Olbia
If the survey on your boat at Marina di Olbia finds a problem, we arrange the inspection and the solution, so the sale keeps moving. Before that, we qualify every buyer and organise the viewings and sea trials. Afterwards, we organise the contract, the legal side and the transfer of ownership. As the seller, you do nothing.
Every valuation starts with a detailed market study. We have access to data on boats that have actually sold, and for each boat we weigh the age, the prices achieved for comparable boats, the options fitted, its condition, the service history and the area. The valuation is free, so you start from a figure grounded in real sales.
The value of a boat is set by its condition, its model, its age and its equipment, and the area matters as well. Some boats sell better in America than in Italy, and vice versa, and a boat at Marina di Olbia is judged on that basis, which is why the area is part of every valuation we give.
The market matters too. When the economy is strong, boats sell well, and when credit is available, buyers can pay for them; when it dries up, fewer can. So we pair the valuation with patience and wide publicity on over 20 international platforms, on social media and on our own website, which draws many buyers. In most cases, that finds the right buyer, and our commission is just 5%.

Handing over a boat and taking the money is where private sellers are most exposed. With so much scamming about today, you want a representative managing the payment. Finding a serious buyer is almost as hard: owners who sell privately usually meet around 20 tyre-kickers and time-wasters before they give up and call a broker.
The experience can be unpleasant, much like selling a second-hand car, with buyers who can be extremely disagreeable. The paperwork is complicated as well, especially if the boat changes flag or has to be re-registered. Insurance can be a problem, and someone has to make sure that the boat has no finance outstanding on it.
A broker will get a better price than you will, and that is his job. For our 5% commission you are very likely ahead anyway, and you do no work. Here at European Yacht Brokers, we speak six languages, advertise on over 20 international platforms including YachtWorld, and organise the contract, the legal side and the transfer of ownership for owners at Marina di Olbia.
You give us a mandate to sell your boat. We don’t always ask for exclusivity; we decide case by case. The contract can be terminated at any time.* *If a buyer we introduced during the mandate buys the boat later, we are still entitled to our commission.
A careful photo shoot, with the boat clean, tidy and shot in favourable light, is the first filter a buyer applies. Photos of the exterior, interior, deck, engine room and technical details, supplemented where useful by a short video, present the boat fully and consistently with the asking price, cutting down on pointless viewings.
The specification sheet gathers verified data: builder, model, year, dimensions, engines, equipment and work carried out. On this basis the listing is published on the main boating portals and shared with the broker network and professional contacts, to reach qualified buyers at home and abroad.
Before publication it helps to gather the ownership documents, the registration papers, evidence of VAT status where relevant, engine manuals, maintenance invoices and the inventory of equipment. Well-ordered paperwork speeds up the buyer’s checks and makes the negotiation more solid.
The sea trial follows the viewing, and it is at the buyer’s expense. He brings a professional, insured captain, or you can come and be present. It isn’t always advisable: sellers are attached to their boats, and buyers can use a sea trial to push the price down. The decision is yours.
But nobody gets that far without being checked first. We establish who the buyer is, whether the buyer is serious and what the buyer wants, so the time-wasters never reach your berth at Marina di Olbia. With over 20 international platforms and six languages behind your listing, the enquiries are many, and we arrange the viewings so you do not have to show anyone round.
Before a viewing, the boat should be clean, with its systems ready to demonstrate, the records to hand, access agreed and its condition described honestly. We agree each viewing with you, so the boat is ready when the buyer arrives.
You give us a mandate to sell your boat. When we have a suitable offer, we put it to you. If you accept, we go ahead; if you don’t, we ask the buyer for a counter-offer, and the decision at each step is yours.
Once you accept an offer, we ask the buyer for a 10% deposit, paid into an escrow account. He can then arrange a survey and have the boat lifted out of the water at Marina di Olbia, all at his own expense. If the survey is good, we go ahead with a sea trial, also at his expense, with a professional, insured captain, or with you on board if you prefer.
We then wait up to 15 working days for the survey report. If there is nothing structurally wrong with the boat, the sale goes ahead. If something is broken, it is fixed at the seller’s expense, and we organise the inspection and the solution. We also help you organise lifting the boat out of the water and give you a list of surveyors we are satisfied with, so the survey does not slow the sale down.
We organise the contract, the legal side and the transfer of ownership for your sale at Marina di Olbia, so you do nothing. The 10% deposit is paid into an escrow account, and the balance goes straight to the seller.
Changing flag or re-registering a boat makes the paperwork complicated, and insurance can be a problem. We also check that the boat has no finance outstanding on it.
With so much scamming around today, you want a representative managing the payment, not you alone. That is part of our work: we organise the contract, we deal with the legal side, and we see the transfer of ownership through, so the sale at Marina di Olbia is finished properly. For our 5% commission you are very likely ahead anyway, and you do no work.
