Selling a boat in Porto di Crotone
If the survey on your boat at Porto di Crotone turns up a problem, we arrange the inspection and the solution, so the sale doesn’t stall. Beforehand, we qualify every buyer and run the viewings and sea trials. Afterwards, we handle the contract, the legal side and the transfer of ownership. You have nothing to do.
Every valuation starts with a detailed market study. We have access to sales data, and for each boat we weigh its age, the prices achieved for similar boats, the options fitted, its condition, the service record and where it lies. The valuation is free, so you begin 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 Porto di Crotone 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 pay for them; when it dries up, fewer can. So we combine the valuation with patience and wide publicity on over 20 international platforms, on social media and on our own website, which attracts many buyers. Usually, that finds the right buyer, and our commission is just 5%.

Finding a serious buyer is the hardest part of selling a boat. Owners who sell privately often meet about 20 time-wasters before they throw in the towel and call a broker. It can be an unpleasant business too: like selling a second-hand car, you deal with buyers who can be very disagreeable indeed.
Then comes the money. With so much scamming around today, you need a representative taking care of the payment, not you alone. The paperwork is complicated too, especially 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 also get a better price than you will, because it is his job. For our 5% commission you are very likely ahead anyway, and you do no work. 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 Porto di Crotone.
You give us a mandate to sell your boat. Exclusivity is not always required, and we decide it 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 comes after the viewing, and it is at the buyer’s expense. He pays for a professional, insured captain, or you can come and be present. That isn’t always advisable: sellers are attached to their boats, and buyers can use a sea trial to push the price down. It is your decision.
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 tyre-kickers never reach your berth at Porto di Crotone. 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.
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 Porto di Crotone, 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 Porto di Crotone, so you have nothing to do. 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 check too that the boat has no finance outstanding on it.
With so much scamming about today, you need a representative handling the payment, not you alone. That is part of our work: we arrange the contract, we deal with the legal side, and we see the transfer of ownership through, so the sale at Porto di Crotone is finished properly. For our 5% commission you are very likely ahead anyway, and you do no work.
