Which yacht broker do you need at Marina Baie des Anges?
In short: a seller’s broker works for the owner and brings the yacht to market; a buyer’s broker works for the purchaser and finds, compares and negotiates; a full-service broker handles the sale from the first conversation to completion and, if you agree it in writing, can act for both sides. At Marina Baie des Anges you can choose any of the three, and the written agreement sets out exactly what is included.
We are yacht brokers by profession, and we make it easy: a valuation free of charge, a commission of just 5%, over 20 international platforms including YachtWorld, six languages and a local broker who can reach any French marina, including Marina Baie des Anges, inside an hour. Tell us whether you want to sell, buy or have one broker for both, and we will take it from there.
Owners at Marina Baie des Anges who want to sell can appoint European Yacht Brokers as their seller’s broker. The local broker visits your boat, we value it free of charge, and then we put the yacht in front of buyers across Europe in six languages. Commission is just 5%, and we set out the scope of the service in writing.
Bringing a yacht to market is the listing broker’s job, and the owner makes the appointment. The broker may help set the asking price, collect specifications and photographs, prepare the listing, advertise the yacht, respond to enquiries and arrange viewings. Check that the listing agreement explains whether it is exclusive or open, how long it runs, what commission applies and which services are included.
The limited version of the service is simple: the broker advertises the yacht, passes an offer to the owner and does not negotiate or manage the remainder of the transaction. Some sellers want exactly that. It is a defined service, but it is not what every seller’s broker offers. Guidance on selling a yacht commonly covers the stages after an offer as well; Horizon Yachts International describes deposit, survey and sea trial, and YachtWorld says a broker may arrange a survey and sea trial.
Check the handover point before you sign. Does the broker negotiate price and conditions, help with the paperwork, keep track of deadlines and contingencies, arrange access for the survey and sea trial, and coordinate closing, payment and transfer documents? Should some of these be excluded, the seller may need separate professional help.
In the listing relationship, the broker’s client is the seller. Buyers who contact that broker should ask whom it represents and whether separate representation is needed. Co-brokerage can bring in a buyer through another firm, and the two firms may share commission according to their agreement; the seller should confirm what this does to the fee and service in their own contract. In short, this is a seller’s listing broker with a deliberately limited scope, not a general definition of brokerage, and it applies just as much to a yacht lying at Marina Baie des Anges.

Buying a yacht abroad is easier with someone on your side. At Marina Baie des Anges, our buyer’s broker listens to what you want, finds suitable boats, helps you compare them and negotiate an offer, and keeps the survey, sea trial and closing moving. A local broker can reach any French marina in less than sixty minutes, and we speak six languages.
Buyers appoint a broker to act for them in finding and buying a yacht. Work begins with the buyer’s plans, preferred type, size, budget, location and priorities. The broker researches the market, identifies possible boats, asks the listing brokers for information, reviews the records that exist and helps the buyer compare options. A number of buyer brokers also preview yachts or arrange remote viewings, which helps the client narrow the field before travelling.
Once a particular yacht is selected, the broker can assist with preparing and negotiating the offer, explaining the process and its deadlines, and coordinating with the seller’s listing broker. Typical stages are a purchase agreement, deposit and escrow arrangements, an independent marine survey, specialist inspections, a sea trial and follow-up discussions. Coordination and communication are the broker’s contribution; the surveyor assesses the yacht, and the broker is no substitute for an independent technical inspection.
Some yacht brokerages publish what their buyer services include: research, negotiation, survey coordination, sea-trial arrangements and assistance with closing documentation. At Curtis Stokes & Associates that means helping buyers research and preview yachts, prepare offers, negotiate and find surveyors and documentation support; HMY describes coordinating survey and sea-trial stages, post-survey discussions and closing. Since services vary, buyers should ask what the broker will handle and what remains theirs.
How the broker is paid depends on the arrangement: an agreed share of the commission through a cooperating listing broker, or a fee owed by the buyer under a separate representation agreement. Get the fee, the duration, the scope of authority and any exclusivity in writing before the search starts. A buyer’s broker gives the purchaser a dedicated representative across a wider search, including yachts listed by another brokerage. If you are shortlisting boats near Marina Baie des Anges, put these questions to every broker first.

At Marina Baie des Anges, European Yacht Brokers can act as a full-service broker: one team that looks after the sale from the first conversation to the transfer of funds. Where you want us to represent both buyer and seller, the arrangement is set out in writing for both parties.
A broker offering full service can handle a sale from start to finish: assessing the yacht and its asking price, preparing photographs and particulars, advertising it, answering enquiries, arranging viewings and communicating offers, and then helping progress an accepted offer through contract, deposit, survey, sea trial and closing. Coordination of documentation, escrow arrangements, delivery or other practical details may be added. The listing and sale documents should state the precise service.
Here the broker also works directly with the buyer and acts for both sides. The Yacht Brokers Association of America calls this dual agency: a single broker representing both parties in one transaction. Do not confuse it with a listing broker who assists a buyer but is still appointed by the seller. A buyer should have the broker explain the relationship before an offer is made.
A broker for both sides faces two sets of interests. Sellers generally want the strongest price and terms; buyers want a suitable yacht at a fair price and need to make informed decisions on its condition. Private negotiation for each side, as two independent representatives would do, is not possible for one broker. The YBAA discussion therefore stresses transparency about the arrangement and careful handling of confidential information, and the parties should rely on the written agreement and applicable local advice, since the legal rules and permitted arrangements vary by jurisdiction.
Check who pays what. The commission is often addressed in the seller’s listing agreement, yet arrangements vary and a buyer should find out whether a separate fee is owed. Full-service is about how much work the broker does; dual agency is about whom the broker represents. Extensive support through a transaction does not mean the broker represents both sides.
Cannes is our head office and your first point of contact, and from there brokers serve the coastal regions and many marinas throughout France. The Cannes team connect you with the broker responsible for your area, and our regional network means that broker can reach any French marina inside an hour to arrange a visit to your boat and provide a valuation at no charge.
Whichever French coast your boat lies on, there is a European Yacht Brokers delegate or agent in the region: Brittany, Normandy, Hauts-de-France, Pays de la Loire, Nouvelle-Aquitaine, Occitanie, Provence-Alpes-Côte d’Azur or Corsica. For Marina Baie des Anges in Villeneuve-Loubet, that means the broker for Provence-Alpes-Côte d’Azur, who can meet customers and see their boats quickly, with Cannes coordinating.
To begin a valuation, download our Sales Mandate and Evaluation Sheet. Using the boat’s details and condition we study the market and prepare a precise, evidence-based valuation informed by the sales data available to us for boats worldwide over the past three years. A valuation is an assessment of likely market value, rather than a guarantee of the eventual sale price.
Appointing European Yacht Brokers means a regional broker looks after the process: finding a buyer or helping you find the right boat, then guiding you to completion and the successful transfer of funds. Your boat is advertised on over 20 platforms throughout Europe, giving visibility beyond the French market, and international buyers can often help secure a stronger price than local demand alone. Our brokers speak six languages between them, so we can connect you with someone who speaks your language.

Reviews from European Yacht Brokers clients, as published on Google (5.0, European Yacht Brokers) and on our client pages.
Will the broker negotiate price and conditions, explain the paperwork, track deadlines, arrange access for a survey or sea trial and coordinate closing, payment and transfer? If any of these are excluded, separate professional help may be needed.
No. The surveyor assesses the yacht and the broker does not replace an independent technical inspection, but the broker can help organise the survey and sea trial.
The seller’s listing agreement often addresses the commission, but payment arrangements vary, so a buyer should check whether any separate fee is owed.
Our commission is exactly 5% and the valuation is free.
Termination is possible at any time. If a buyer we introduced during the mandate buys the boat later, we are still entitled to our commission.
