Start your sale with EYB head office

To start the process of selling your boat in Marmaris and Datça, 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.

Brokerage requirements in Turkey

For private recreational craft, the official sale procedure concerns the vessel’s Bağlama Kütüğü record and transfer papers, not a stated standalone sales-broker permit. A Turkish flag registration is not automatic for every purchaser. The national registry requires eligibility to fly the flag and that the craft is not concurrently entered in a foreign register. The national process also governs sales in Marmaris and Datça. Turkish Ministry of Transport, Bağlama Kütüğü sales procedure

The port authority sale file includes the original Bağlama Kütüğü licence and identification for both parties; proof of the right to transfer may be a notarial sale contract. A foreign registration may need to be cancelled before the boat is entered on the Turkish Ship Registry. The applicant books a port appointment and brings the original papers. Retain the port authority receipt once the ownership update is complete. The Turkish Revenue Administration excludes qualifying private craft from one port-service VAT exemption; this does not determine the VAT on a resale.

For Marmaris and Datça, EYB arranges brokerage support in line with these requirements; its qualified lawyer prepares the sale contract and manages registration. Verify the seller’s title and retain the contract and registry evidence. Turkish Ministry of Transport, Bağlama Kütüğü sales procedure

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.
