IN BRIEF

Selling a boat in Puerto Deportivo Tomás Maestre

From first enquiry to final handover, European Yacht Brokers manage the sale of your boat at Puerto Deportivo Tomás Maestre in La Manga del Mar Menor. We qualify every buyer, run the viewings and sea trials, organise any inspection after the survey, and handle the contract, the legal side and the transfer of ownership. 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 comparable boats, its options, the condition, the service history and the area. There is no charge for the valuation, 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 Spain, and vice versa, and a boat at Puerto Deportivo Tomás Maestre 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 easy to find, buyers can pay for them; when it dries up, fewer can. So we combine the valuation with patience and extensive publicity on over 20 international platforms, on social media and on our own website, which draws many buyers. In most cases, that finds the right buyer, and our commission is just 5%.

Why sell with European Yacht Brokers Puerto Deportivo Tomás Maestre

The hardest part of selling a boat is finding a serious buyer. Owners who sell privately usually meet about 20 time-wasters before they give up and turn to a broker. It can also be an unpleasant experience: like selling a second-hand car, you deal with buyers who can be very disagreeable indeed.

Then there is the money. With so much scamming about today, you need a representative taking care of 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, advertise on over 20 international platforms including YachtWorld, and organise the contract, the legal side and the transfer of ownership for owners at Puerto Deportivo Tomás Maestre.

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

The sea trial comes after a serious viewing, and it is at the buyer’s expense. He pays for a professional, insured captain, or you can come and be present. It isn’t always advisable: sellers are attached to their boats, and buyers can use a sea trial to try to get the price down. It is your decision.

But no one reaches a sea trial without being checked first. We confirm who the buyer is, whether the buyer is serious and what the buyer wants, so the tyre-kickers never reach your berth at Puerto Deportivo Tomás Maestre. 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 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 it, we go ahead; if not, 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 Puerto Deportivo Tomás Maestre, 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 organise the contract, the legal side and the transfer of ownership for your sale at Puerto Deportivo Tomás Maestre, 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 also check that the boat has no finance outstanding on it.

With so much scamming around today, you want 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 Puerto Deportivo Tomás Maestre is finished properly. For our 5% commission you are very likely ahead anyway, and you do no work.

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.
