Sell your boat Aegean Coast with European Yacht Brokers: we guide you through valuation, marketing, sales contracts, and local viewings, while connecting you to buyers worldwide and managing all legal and administrative steps.
To start the process of selling your boat in Aegean Coast, 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 Turkey. 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.

The Turkish rules for registered boat transfers do not state a separate yacht-sales broker licence for Aegean Coast. Ship-agent rules are separate. Where a boat is to enter the Turkish Ship Registry, separate nationality rules apply: the registry requires the right to fly the Turkish flag and that the vessel is not already registered abroad. Turkish Ministry of Transport, Bağlama Kütüğü sales procedure
The sale file needs the original Bağlama Kütüğü licence, both parties’ identity papers and formal proof of transfer, such as a notarised contract. The Turkish registry procedure also requires a vessel not to remain registered in a foreign state when entered on the national register. The sale request is made through the maritime citizen portal and supporting papers are submitted to the port authority. Keep the authority’s receipt for the completed ownership change. Turkish tax guidance excludes qualifying private pleasure craft from a specific VAT exemption for port services, so registration alone does not establish a resale VAT result.

EYB arranges local brokerage support in line with these requirements, and its qualified lawyer prepares the sale contract and handles registration. Check the seller’s title, boat identity and register before completion. Turkish Ministry of Transport, Bağlama Kütüğü sales procedure

Our local broker, familiar with the region, supports these viewings and ensures everything meets Turkey’s brokerage 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.
