SALES
Owners in Croatia can use EYB’s coordinated sale process: central management, local knowledge, professionally prepared documents, broad promotion and buyer follow-up in relevant languages.
To begin, contact EYB head office and describe the boat, its equipment, history, condition and location in Croatia. The team will discuss your objectives and make an initial valuation using the information provided.
You can then review the proposed sale approach and agree the mandate with EYB. The commission is a flat 5%; the written mandate records that figure and the other agreed terms before the listing is promoted.
The valuation informs the conversation about price, but the accepted offer and completion terms are decided by the buyer and seller.

EYB combines central coordination with support close to the boat. Head office manages the wider sale and links the owner, legal team, marketing department and sales team, while local support can help with enquiries about the boat’s marina and arrange visits.
This matters in Croatia, where buyers may want practical information about the berth, access or local arrangements before making a journey. A contact familiar with the area can help explain those details and coordinate a viewing with the seller.
The network also gives a locally based boat exposure to buyers beyond its home port.
EYB’s legal work is handled by a qualified lawyer, who prepares both the mandate and the sale contract. Registration and related administration for the transaction are also part of this role.
At appointment, the mandate sets out the terms agreed between the owner and EYB. It provides the written reference for the commission, the sale instruction and other agreed conditions. The owner has an opportunity to read it before the marketing campaign starts.
When a buyer and seller agree a transaction involving a boat in Croatia, the lawyer prepares the contract around those agreed terms and handles the relevant administrative requirements. The documents are tied to the specific sale and vessel.
EYB promotes each boat with a mix of search optimisation, social media and relevant national and international sales platforms. The marketing department selects channels that suit the boat and the audience it may attract.
The listing content should describe the vessel plainly and accurately, including its equipment, history, condition and current berth in Croatia. Good photographs and complete specifications give buyers a stronger basis for deciding whether to enquire.
The marketing and sales teams work together. If details change, or a buyer needs further information, the listing and follow-up can be coordinated so that the boat is represented consistently.
EYB’s sales team handles buyer enquiries, arranges viewings, supports negotiations and communicates with clients in the relevant languages.
When an enquiry concerns a boat in Croatia, the team gathers the buyer’s questions and coordinates clear replies with the owner. It can also discuss practical points such as the vessel’s availability and arrange a viewing with local assistance where needed.
If interest develops into an offer, the sales team helps the parties discuss the price and conditions. The owner decides whether to accept an offer and remains involved in agreeing the transaction.
For boat sales in Croatia, the official registration guidance focuses on proof of ownership, eligibility and the Vessel Register rather than a dedicated sales-broker authorisation. The first Croatian entry of an existing craft calls for ownership evidence and technical documents; where it was registered abroad, include proof that the foreign register has removed it. The same country-level duties apply in Croatia. Croatian Ministry of the Sea, instructions for boat registration
The Croatian record should be amended within 30 days after ownership changes. Where a contract effects the transfer, it must be in writing and carry a certified signature from the person assigning ownership. Before signing, examine the vessel record for registered mortgages or disposal restrictions as well as the ownership entry. Keep original invoices and import evidence for the VAT file, since EU guidance generally treats a boat in EU customs territory as retaining Union-goods status.

For a boat based in Croatia, EYB checks viewing requests with the seller and helps arrange a suitable appointment with local assistance. Buyer and seller may agree an independent survey or sea trial, subject to access and timing. They confirm the survey scope and practical conditions before the visit.
Under EYB’s stated process, the buyer pays a 10% deposit into escrow after the parties agree the sale terms. The sale documents record the conditions that must be met before completion and should identify the escrow holder and release terms.
When all agreed conditions are satisfied, the remaining balance goes directly to the seller. EYB coordinates the steps with the parties, while the contract governs the deposit and completion sequence for the specific transaction.
