YACHT BROKERS
Free valuation · only 5% commission
Yacht brokers Port Pin Rolland come in three kinds, and the right one depends on what you want to do: sell your boat, buy a boat, or have one broker handle both sides. European Yacht Brokers, based in Cannes, covers Port Pin Rolland in Saint-Mandrier-sur-Mer, Provence-Alpes-Côte d’Azur, with a local broker who can visit your boat quickly. We give a valuation free of charge, charge just 5% commission, advertise on over 20 international platforms, including YachtWorld, and speak six languages.

Which yacht broker do you need at Port Pin Rolland?
What separates them: 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 Pin Rolland you can choose any of the three, and the written agreement sets out exactly what is included.
You are not just buying a service from us; you are using the experience behind it. European Yacht Brokers values boats from sales data covering the past three years worldwide, handles the contract, the legal side and the transfer of ownership, asks buyers for a 10% deposit paid into escrow, and charges just 5%. Write to the Cannes team and they will connect you with the broker for Provence-Alpes-Côte d’Azur.
When you sell with us, you appoint the seller’s broker for Port Pin Rolland 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. As the agreement provides, 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.
Not every seller wants a full service. Some ask only for listing and marketing: the broker advertises the yacht, passes any offer to the owner and does not take responsibility for negotiating or managing the rest of the sale. That can be a properly defined service, but it does not describe every seller’s broker. Sale guidance often covers the work after an offer too: Horizon Yachts International describes the deposit, survey and sea-trial stages, and YachtWorld notes that a broker may arrange a survey and sea trial.
A seller should know exactly what the broker will and will not do. The questions to ask: will the broker negotiate price and conditions; help prepare or explain the paperwork; track deadlines and contingencies; arrange access for a survey or sea trial; coordinate closing, payment and transfer documents? Where the answer is no, arrange separate professional help to complete those tasks.
A listing broker represents the seller. Buyers dealing with that broker directly need to ask whom it represents and whether they should have separate representation. Where another broker introduces the buyer, a co-brokerage arrangement may apply and the firms may split commission as agreed. The seller should confirm the effect on the fee and service in their own contract. That is why this profile describes a seller’s listing broker with limited scope rather than yacht brokerage as a whole, including for a boat berthed at Port Pin Rolland.

Buying a yacht abroad is easier with someone on your side. At Port Pin Rolland, 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.
The purchaser appoints a buyer’s broker to represent them in finding and buying a yacht. The search usually starts with a conversation about the buyer’s plans: the type and size of yacht, the budget, the location and the priorities. From there the broker can research the market, identify candidate boats, collect information from listing brokers, review the records available and help the buyer compare the options. Some buyer brokers also preview yachts or arrange remote viewings, letting the client narrow the choice before travelling.
When the buyer has found a yacht, the broker can help prepare and negotiate the offer, explain the steps and deadlines and liaise with the seller’s listing broker. Expect a purchase agreement, deposit and escrow arrangements, an independent marine survey, specialist inspections, a sea trial and further discussion once the inspections are done. The broker helps coordinate these steps and keeps communication moving, but the surveyor assesses the yacht, and the 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 is not the same everywhere. Either the buyer’s broker receives an agreed share of the commission through a cooperating listing broker, or the buyer owes a fee under a separate representation agreement. Put the fee, duration, scope of authority and any exclusivity in writing before the search begins. The purchaser then has a dedicated representative across a wider search, even where another brokerage holds the listing. Purchasers searching near Port Pin Rolland should ask these questions before appointing anyone.

At Port Pin Rolland, 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.
Full service describes a broker who can look after the whole sale. After the first conversation with the owner the work may include assessing the yacht and asking price, photographs and particulars, advertising, enquiries, viewings and the communication of offers, then helping both parties move an accepted offer through the contract, deposit, survey, sea trial and closing. The broker may also coordinate documentation, escrow, delivery and other details. Set the precise service out in the listing and sale documents.
The broker in this profile deals with the buyer directly as well, representing buyer and seller together. That is what the Yacht Brokers Association of America terms dual agency: one broker, both parties, the same transaction. A listing broker who simply helps a buyer while remaining the seller’s appointed representative is not the same. Before making an offer, ask the broker how the relationship works.
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.
Payment arrangements vary, though the seller’s listing agreement often addresses the commission. The buyer should check whether they owe any separate fee. Two terms are easily confused: full-service describes the range of work, and dual agency describes whom the broker represents. A broker can give extensive transaction support while representing only one side.

Our regional network means we can arrange for a broker to reach any French marina in less than sixty minutes, and the local broker can arrange a visit to your boat and provide a free valuation.

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.
