IN BRIEF

Selling a boat in Marina di Salivoli

From the first enquiry to the final handover, European Yacht Brokers look after the sale of your boat at Marina di Salivoli in Piombino. We qualify the buyers, run the viewings and sea trials, arrange any inspection after the survey, and take care of the contract, the legal side and the transfer of ownership. You do nothing.

What is your boat worth?

Every valuation starts with a thorough market study. We have access to sales data, and for each boat we weigh its age, the prices obtained for comparable boats, the options fitted, its condition, the service history and where it lies. There is no charge for the valuation, so you start from a figure grounded in real sales.

Condition, model, age and equipment set the value of a boat, and the area matters as well. Some boats sell better in America than in Italy, and vice versa, and a boat at Marina di Salivoli 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 healthy, boats sell well, and when credit is available, buyers can finance 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%.

Why sell with European Yacht Brokers Marina di Salivoli

Taking payment for a boat 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 often meet around 20 tyre-kickers and time-wasters before they give up and call a broker.

It can be an unpleasant experience, like selling a second-hand car, with buyers who can be extremely disagreeable. The paperwork is complicated too, particularly if the boat changes flag or has to be re-registered. Insurance can be a problem, and someone has to check that the boat has no finance outstanding on it.

A broker will get a better price than you will, because it is his job. For 5% you are very likely ahead anyway, and you do no work. Here at European Yacht Brokers, we speak six languages, list on over 20 international platforms including YachtWorld, and organise the contract, the legal side and the transfer of ownership for owners at Marina di Salivoli.

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.

Professional preparation and presentation

Photography and video

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.

Listing and distribution

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.

Documents ready

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.

Qualified buyers, viewings and sea trials

The sea trial comes after a serious viewing, and it is at the buyer’s expense. He brings a professional, insured captain, or you are welcome to come and be present. It isn’t always advisable: sellers are attached to their boats, and buyers can use a sea trial to try to get the price down. It is your decision.

But no one reaches a sea trial without being checked first. We establish who the buyer is, whether the buyer is serious and what the buyer wants, so the tyre-kickers never reach your berth at Marina di Salivoli. 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 tell you when a viewing is booked, so the boat is ready when the buyer arrives.

Survey, offer and negotiation

You give us a mandate to sell your boat. We put every suitable offer 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 Salivoli, 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.

Documents, payment and transfer of ownership

We take care of the contract, the legal side and the transfer of ownership for your sale at Marina di Salivoli, so you have nothing to do. The 10% deposit is paid into an escrow account, and the balance goes straight to the seller.

The paperwork can be complicated, especially if the boat changes flag or has to be re-registered, 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 need 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 Salivoli is finished properly. For our 5% commission you are very likely ahead anyway, and you do no work.

  • Prepare an up-to-date inventory of equipment.
  • Agree the mandate, asking price and viewing arrangements in writing.
  • Have the boat clean, tidy and ready to demonstrate its systems.
  • Weigh every offer with written conditions and clear timings.
  • Arrange secure payment and handover with a signed record.
