Start your sale with EYB head office

When you are ready to sell your boat Asturias, your first step is to contact European Yacht Brokers head office. The team at head office will ask you for key details about your boat, such as its specifications, maintenance history, and any upgrades or special features. This information helps EYB understand your vessel and the market in Asturias so they can give you an accurate, initial valuation. This initial valuation is based on current market conditions and boats similar to yours, but it is not a guarantee of the final selling price.

After discussing your yacht and gathering the necessary information, the head office representatives will talk through the terms of sale with you. You and EYB will agree on the sale terms, including the commission, which is always a flat 5%. Once the details are confirmed, the sale process moves forward with the support of the EYB team.

Brokerage requirements in Spain

The Spanish rules cited here govern boat registration and transfer rather than a dedicated licence for yacht sales brokers. A sale in Asturias still requires the owner-change notification required for the boat’s record. The applicable record depends on the vessel and its registration route: some CE-marked craft of up to 12 metres may use a special registration regime, while others follow the general flagging process. Spanish Maritime Administration, ownership and registration procedures

After completion, the seller has up to three months to report the new ownership, while notification by the buyer is optional. Evidence supporting the transfer accompanies the request. A buyer should compare the hull identification and registration particulars in the transfer evidence with the boat and its current certificate. For a boat kept in EU customs territory, Union-goods status normally continues; preserve its original invoice and any import records relevant to VAT.

For Asturias, EYB arranges brokerage support in line with these requirements; its qualified lawyer prepares the sale contract and manages registration.

Viewings and trials for your boat in Asturias

European Yacht Brokers manages every step when you sell your boat Asturias, including scheduling viewings for interested buyers. A broker who understands the local area is on hand to facilitate inspections and respond to questions, ensuring compliance with Spain’s rules. Buyers are welcome to arrange a survey and sea trial once they have viewed your boat. Throughout, our team provides guidance and support, so you can rely on a smooth process and the correct handling of all requirements.

Deposit, contracts and completion process

A 10% deposit from the buyer is required in escrow once you have agreed on an offer and the sale terms. This deposit acts as a commitment while the details of the sale contract are honoured by both sides.

When the specified contract conditions are met, the buyer releases the remaining funds, which are paid directly to you as the seller. This ensures that your sale is protected and the handover of funds is carried out securely.

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.
