Which yacht broker do you need at Port de Narbonne-Plage?
Here is the difference: 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 Port de Narbonne-Plage you can choose any of the three, and the written agreement sets out exactly what is included.
Yacht brokerage is what we know, and we make it easy: a complimentary valuation, a commission of just 5%, over 20 international platforms including YachtWorld, six languages and a local broker who can reach any French marina, including Port de Narbonne-Plage, within the hour. Tell us whether you want to sell, buy or have one broker for both, and we will take it from there.
When you sell with us, you appoint the seller’s broker for Port de Narbonne-Plage and we do the marketing: valuation, presentation, advertising, enquiries and viewings. The commission is just 5%. How much more we take on, such as negotiating or managing the later stages, is agreed with you in writing, and we explain it before you sign.
A seller’s listing broker works for the owner, seeking a buyer for the yacht. According to the agreement, the broker can assist with an asking price, the specifications and photographs, the listing itself, advertising, enquiries and viewings. A good listing agreement makes four things clear: whether the appointment is exclusive or open, how long it lasts, what commission is payable and what services the broker has agreed to provide.
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.
Be clear, before signing, about what the broker takes on. Negotiating price and conditions, preparing or explaining paperwork, tracking deadlines and contingencies, arranging survey and sea-trial access, coordinating closing, payment and transfer documents: each is either included or it is not, and any that are excluded may call for 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 Port de Narbonne-Plage.

Buying a yacht abroad is easier with someone on your side. At Port de Narbonne-Plage, 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 within the hour, and we speak six languages.
The buyer’s broker represents the purchaser in the hunt for a yacht. A typical search starts by establishing the buyer’s plans, preferred yacht type, size, budget, location and priorities. The broker can research the market, identify boats worth considering, gather details from listing brokers, review available records and help the buyer compare. Previews and remote viewings are offered by some buyer brokers, so the client can narrow the choice before travelling.
The next stage starts when the buyer settles on a yacht. The broker can help prepare and negotiate an offer, explain the steps and deadlines, and coordinate with the seller’s listing broker through the purchase agreement, deposit and escrow arrangements, independent marine survey, specialist inspections, sea trial and any discussions that follow the inspections. Keeping everyone in communication is part of the job. Assessing the yacht is the surveyor’s job; a broker does not replace an independent technical inspection.
Buyer services at yacht brokerages typically take in research, negotiation, survey coordination, sea-trial arrangements and assistance with closing documents. Examples: Curtis Stokes & Associates helps buyers research and preview yachts, prepare offers, negotiate and find surveyors and documentation support, and HMY coordinates the survey and sea-trial stages, post-survey discussions and closing. The service on offer varies, which is why the buyer should ask what the broker handles and what is left to the buyer.
Payment varies. A buyer’s broker may be paid an agreed share of the commission through a cooperating listing broker, or the buyer may owe a fee under a separate representation agreement. Before the search begins, the buyer should have the fee, duration, scope of authority and any exclusivity in writing. The result is a dedicated representative across a wider search, even when the yacht you choose is listed by another brokerage. Buyers looking at yachts around Port de Narbonne-Plage should ask these questions before appointing anyone.

European Yacht Brokers offers full service at Port de Narbonne-Plage: valuation, advertising, viewings, offers and the steps to completion, handled by one team in six languages. Representing both sides is possible by written agreement, which sets out what is included and how the arrangement works.
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.
From our Cannes head office we manage a network of brokers serving France’s coastal regions and many of its marinas. The first conversation is with the Cannes team, who connect you with the broker for your area, and that broker can reach any French marina within the hour, thanks to the network, to visit your boat and give a valuation free of charge.
Coverage is by region. For Port de Narbonne-Plage in Narbonne-Plage the broker is the one for Occitanie; elsewhere our delegates and agents cover Brittany, Normandy, Hauts-de-France, Pays de la Loire, Nouvelle-Aquitaine, Occitanie, Provence-Alpes-Côte d’Azur and Corsica. They can speak to customers and visit their boats at short notice, with the Cannes head office keeping everything coordinated.
Our Sales Mandate and Evaluation Sheet is where a valuation starts. We use the boat’s details and condition, study the market and prepare a precise valuation based on evidence, informed by sales data for boats worldwide over the past three years. It is an assessment of likely market value, not a guarantee of the price the boat will eventually sell for.
Your regional broker does the work once you appoint us: finding the buyer or the right boat, and guiding you through the transaction to completion and the successful transfer of funds. Boats go onto over 20 platforms throughout Europe, giving them visibility beyond France, and an international audience can often help secure a stronger price than relying on local demand alone. With six languages spoken among our brokers, we can connect you with someone who speaks yours.

Reviews from European Yacht Brokers clients, as published on Google (5.0, European Yacht Brokers) and on our client pages.
The listing agreement should say whether it is exclusive or open, how long it lasts and what commission is payable. We don’t always ask for exclusivity; we decide case by case.
The fee, the duration, the scope of the broker’s authority and any exclusivity should be set out in writing before the search begins.
Yes, this is called dual agency: one broker represents both parties in the same transaction. Any buyer should have the relationship explained before making an offer. The rules vary by jurisdiction.
Our commission is exactly 5% and the valuation is free.
Yes. As soon as an offer is accepted, we ask the buyer for a 10% deposit, paid into an escrow account, and the balance goes straight to the seller.
