IN BRIEF

Selling a boat in Alcaidesa Marina

Every enquiry for your boat at Alcaidesa Marina is qualified ahead of any viewing, so just genuine buyers reach the berth. We arrange the viewings and sea trials, answer every question, and if the survey finds a problem we organise the inspection and the solution. The contract, the legal side and the transfer of ownership are ours to handle, so you have nothing to do.

What is your boat worth?

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

The value of a boat is set by its condition, its model, its age and its equipment, and the area matters as well. Some boats sell better in America than in Spain, and the other way round, and a boat at Alcaidesa Marina 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 strong, boats sell well, and when credit is available, buyers can finance 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 draws many buyers. Usually, that finds the right buyer, and our commission is just 5%.

Why sell with European Yacht Brokers Alcaidesa Marina

The hardest part of selling a boat is finding a serious buyer. Owners who sell privately often meet about 20 tyre-kickers before they throw in the towel and call a broker. It can be an unpleasant business too: like selling a second-hand car, you meet buyers who can be extremely disagreeable.

Then there is the money. With so much scamming around today, you need a representative handling the payment, not you alone. The paperwork is complicated as well, 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, and that is his job. For a 5% commission 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 Alcaidesa Marina.

You give us a mandate to sell your boat. Exclusivity is not always required, and we decide it case by case. You can terminate the contract 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

We check every enquiry before anyone sets foot on your boat. We confirm who the buyer is, whether the buyer is serious and what the buyer wants, so the time-wasters never reach your berth at Alcaidesa Marina. Because we advertise on over 20 international platforms and answer in six languages, enquiries come from buyers in many countries, and every one of them is qualified the same way.

We arrange the viewings and the sea trial, so you don’t have to show anyone round yourself. The sea trial is at the buyer’s expense, with a professional, insured captain, or you can come along yourself. It isn’t always advisable, because sellers are attached to their boats and buyers can use a sea trial to push the price down, but it is your decision.

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 agree each viewing with you, so the boat is ready when the buyer arrives.

Survey, offer and negotiation

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 Alcaidesa Marina, 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 Alcaidesa Marina, so you do nothing. 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 around today, you need a representative managing 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 Alcaidesa Marina is finished properly. For our 5% commission you are very likely ahead anyway, and you do no work.

  • Agree the mandate, asking price and viewing arrangements in writing.
