Brokerage requirements in Italy

In Puglia, yacht brokerage is governed by Italy’s national provisions for the mediatore del diporto. The Code of Recreational Boating covers mediation for recreational-vessel contracts, including a sale; there is no separate regional regime described here. Normattiva, Legislative Decree 171/2005

Deposit, contracts and completion process

When you accept an offer, the buyer secures the agreement by depositing 10% of the sale price into a designated escrow account. This deposit is held while the contract conditions, as outlined in the agreement, are fulfilled by both parties.

After all contract terms are satisfied, the final payment is transferred straight to you, completing the sale. This process safeguards your interests and ensures a straightforward transfer of ownership.

Seller's checklist

  • Gather the ownership documents, registration papers and tax status.
  • Collect invoices, manuals and the maintenance history.
  • 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.
