In Andalusia, European Yacht Brokers manages everything to sell your boat, including valuation, marketing, legal documents, and negotiations, with expert support both locally and in international markets.
To start the process of selling your boat in Andalusia, reach out directly to European Yacht Brokers head office. During your first contact, the head office will want to know all relevant information about your vessel, from its technical specifications to its condition and recent service records. With these details, EYB can offer you an initial valuation for your boat, taking into account the current market and similar boats in Spain. Keep in mind that this valuation serves as a guide, not a fixed sale price.
Once you have provided the necessary information, the head office will discuss and agree on the terms of the sale with you. EYB works with a flat 5% commission for owners listing their boats. After you agree to the terms, the sale of your yacht is managed in close collaboration with you.

Spain’s published recreational-craft procedures do not specify a separate licence for a yacht sales broker. They do, however, require the vessel’s registered ownership details to be updated after a sale in Andalusia. Before advertising the boat, identify whether its papers are under the general Spanish registration system or the special route for eligible CE-marked boats no longer than 12 metres. Spanish Maritime Administration, ownership and registration procedures
The Spanish record is updated through a transfer notification made by the seller, or optionally the buyer, within three months. The application must be backed by papers showing the transfer. The paperwork should identify the same craft shown on the registration certificate, and the parties should keep a signed copy of the sale agreement. EU guidance says Union status normally continues while the boat remains in the customs territory; retain the invoice and relevant import evidence.

When you sell your boat Andalusia with European Yacht Brokers, our head office coordinates the entire sale and arranges viewings with potential buyers. Our local broker, familiar with the region, supports these viewings and ensures everything meets Spain’s brokerage requirements. Once a buyer is interested, they can request a survey and sea trial as part of the process. You will have the support of our team at every stage, from the initial enquiry to these important steps, so you can be confident your sale is handled professionally and in line with local regulations.
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.
