Which yacht broker do you need at Port Camargue?
If your plan is to sell, you need a broker who works for you: someone to value, list and advertise the yacht and bring you offers. Buying, you need a broker on your side of the table: someone to search the market, compare boats and negotiate. Prefer a single point of contact for everything? A full-service broker can handle the whole transaction and, if it is agreed in writing, act for both parties. We offer all three at Port Camargue.
Why choose us? We know this market. Our valuations draw on sales data for boats worldwide over the past three years, we advertise on over 20 international platforms, including YachtWorld, our brokers speak six languages, and we charge just 5% commission. At Port Camargue a local broker can visit your boat quickly, backed by our Cannes head office. Request a valuation at no charge and tell us which service you want.
Owners at Port Camargue 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.
The owner appoints a seller’s listing broker to take the yacht to market and find a buyer. Typical help includes agreeing an asking price, gathering the specifications and photographs, preparing the listing, advertising the yacht, answering enquiries and arranging viewings. The listing agreement should state whether the appointment is exclusive or open, its duration, the commission payable and the services the broker has agreed to provide.
Sellers who want only a listing and marketing service can have one. The broker advertises the yacht and passes an offer to the owner but takes no responsibility for negotiation or for managing the rest of the transaction. That is a valid, defined service, yet it should not be assumed to apply to every seller’s broker, because yacht sale guidance usually includes the work that follows an offer: Horizon Yachts International covers the deposit, survey and sea-trial stages, and YachtWorld explains that 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.
Under the listing relationship the broker represents the seller. A buyer who approaches that broker directly should ask whom the broker represents and whether to have separate representation. Buyers may also arrive through another broker under a co-brokerage arrangement, where the firms may share commission as they agree between themselves, so the seller should confirm in their own contract how this affects the fee and the service. Taken together, this describes a seller’s listing broker with a deliberately limited scope, not yacht brokerage in general. The same applies to a boat kept at Port Camargue.

Tell us the type, size, budget and area you have in mind and our buyer’s broker will start the search for you around Port Camargue. We guide you through the offer, deposit and escrow, survey, sea trial and closing, and you always know what we will handle and what remains yours.
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.
Brokerages describe buyer services that cover research, negotiation, survey coordination, sea-trial arrangements and help with closing documentation. Curtis Stokes & Associates, for instance, describes helping buyers research and preview yachts, prepare offers, negotiate, and find surveyors and documentation support, while HMY describes coordinating the survey and sea-trial stages, discussions after the survey and closing. Services differ, so the buyer should ask what the broker will handle and what stays with the buyer.
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 Port Camargue, put these questions to every broker first.

Prefer one broker to manage everything? At Port Camargue our full-service broker handles the sale from assessing the yacht to closing and, if the parties agree in writing, represents both buyer and seller. The arrangement is written down so that each side knows whom the broker acts for.
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.
Dual agency, in the words of the Yacht Brokers Association of America, is one broker representing both parties in the same transaction, and it is what this profile describes: a broker dealing directly with the buyer while representing buyer and seller. It is not the same as a listing broker who helps a buyer but stays appointed by the seller. The buyer should ask for the relationship to be explained before making an offer.
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.
A buyer should check whether any separate fee is owed, because although the commission is often addressed in the seller’s listing agreement, payment arrangements vary. Full-service describes the range of work; dual agency describes whom the broker represents. The two are different: a broker can offer extensive transaction support without representing both sides.
Our French operations are coordinated from the Cannes head office, with brokers covering the coastal regions and many marinas across France. You speak first to the Cannes team, who put you in touch with the broker responsible for your area. Thanks to the regional network, a broker can reach any French marina in under an hour, arrange a visit to your boat and provide a free valuation.
Owners and buyers at Port Camargue, Occitanie, deal with the broker for that area, and the same applies along the rest of the French coast. Our agents and delegates cover Brittany, Normandy, Hauts-de-France, Pays de la Loire, Nouvelle-Aquitaine, Occitanie, Provence-Alpes-Côte d’Azur and Corsica, and they can talk to customers and visit their boats quickly, working with the Cannes head office.
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.
After appointment, your regional broker handles finding a buyer, or the right boat for you, and guides you through the transaction to completion and the successful transfer of funds. We advertise across over 20 platforms throughout Europe so boats are seen beyond the French market, and reaching international buyers can often help secure a stronger price than relying on local demand alone. Six languages are spoken between our brokers, so someone can talk to you in yours.
Selling or buying at Port Camargue? Knowing the marina and Le Grau-du-Roi helps both sides. For the seller it shows what attracts buyers to a boat kept here; for the buyer it shows what to expect around the berth. Here is what is known about the marina and about Le Grau-du-Roi, in Occitanie.

The site includes a free and open waste and pollution-management service with sorting points, a clean point for batteries, gas bottles and other boat waste, and a free black-water pump located at the fuel quay. There are eight sanitary blocks, bilge-water collection, and three technical areas with treatment stations. Free bicycles are available for visiting boaters, alongside a free launch and boat-trailer parking service. Technical support and facilities for lifting and launching boats are available within the marina.

Construction of Port Camargue was completed in 1985 and direct municipal management has been under the Port Camargue autonomous authority since 2001.
The port’s setting facilitates walking along the quays and access toward the Espiguette area.

The listing agreement should say whether it is exclusive or open, how long it lasts and what commission is payable. We decide on exclusivity case by case.
Certain buyer brokers preview yachts or arrange remote viewings so the client can narrow the choice before travelling. Ask what service is included.
Full-service is about the range of work, while dual agency describes whom the broker represents. A broker can offer extensive transaction support without representing both sides.
