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 Galicia. 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.

European Yacht Brokers manages every step when you sell your boat Galicia, 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.
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.

A boat based in Galicia can use Marina Coruña as a stopover while transiting Biscay or heading south toward Costa da Morte and Cape Finisterre. Marina Coruña is located in a protected harbour between the maritime control tower and San Antón Castle, with the wider coast offering access to rugged Atlantic sailing and the rías. At Nauta Sanxenxo, sailing and cruising courses run throughout the year and several sailing tournaments take place.
