Start your sale with EYB head office

To start the process of selling your boat in Basilicata, reach out directly to European Yacht Brokers head office. During your first contact, the head office will want to know all relevant information about your vessel, from its technical specifications to its condition and recent service records. With these details, EYB can offer you an initial valuation for your boat, taking into account the current market and similar boats in Italy. Keep in mind that this valuation serves as a guide, not a fixed sale price.

Once you have provided the necessary information, the head office will discuss and agree on the terms of the sale with you. EYB works with a flat 5% commission for owners listing their boats. After you agree to the terms, the sale of your yacht is managed in close collaboration with you.

Brokerage requirements in Italy

Italy’s national Code of Recreational Boating contains the framework for the mediatore del diporto, including mediation connected with recreational-vessel sale contracts. The provisions apply in Basilicata because brokerage requirements are set nationally, not through a separate regional licence. Normattiva, Legislative Decree 171/2005

The Chamber of Commerce describes the regulated activity and its requirements. The term broker alone does not establish that a person meets them. Chamber of Commerce, Mediatore del diporto

EYB arranges local brokerage support in Basilicata in line with applicable Italian requirements. Head office coordinates the sale, and EYB’s qualified lawyer prepares the mandate and contract and handles relevant administration.

Viewings and trials for your boat in Basilicata

When listing your boat for sale Basilicata with European Yacht Brokers, our head office will coordinate interested buyer viewings, with a local broker assisting to ensure full compliance with Italy requirements. If a buyer wishes to proceed, a survey and sea trial can be arranged as part of the process. Our team will support you throughout, from the first enquiry to the final inspection, ensuring each stage is handled professionally and in accordance with all local regulations.

Deposit, contracts and completion process

Following acceptance of a buyer’s offer, a 10% deposit is lodged in escrow to hold the agreement in place as the sale progresses. The sales contract, covering all negotiated conditions, is prepared to ensure clarity and security throughout the transaction.

Once every condition has been met according to the contract, the buyer transfers the remaining balance directly to your account. This approach provides transparency and peace of mind at every stage of the sale.

  • Agree the mandate, asking price and viewing arrangements in writing.
  • Have the boat clean, tidy and ready to demonstrate its systems.
