Start your sale with EYB head office

When you are ready to sell your boat Calabria, your first step is to contact European Yacht Brokers head office. The team at head office will ask you for key details about your boat, such as its specifications, maintenance history, and any upgrades or special features. This information helps EYB understand your vessel and the market in Calabria so they can give you an accurate, initial valuation. This initial valuation is based on current market conditions and boats similar to yours, but it is not a guarantee of the final selling price.

After discussing your yacht and gathering the necessary information, the head office representatives will talk through the terms of sale with you. You and EYB will agree on the sale terms, including the commission, which is always a flat 5%. Once the details are confirmed, the sale process moves forward with the support of the EYB team.

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.
