Which yacht broker do you need at Marina di Alassio?
Which broker do you need? If you are selling at Marina di Alassio, our seller’s broker helps set the asking price, prepares the listing and advertises it. If you are buying, our buyer’s broker can research the market, help you compare boats, negotiate and coordinate the survey and sea trial. And if you want one broker to look after the whole sale, our full-service broker does so and, where agreed in writing, can represent both parties. Below we explain what each involves.
We are yacht brokers by profession, 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 Italian marina, including Marina di Alassio, 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 Marina di Alassio 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. Subject 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.
Some owners choose a listing and marketing service and nothing more. The broker then advertises the yacht, hands any offer to the owner and takes no responsibility for negotiating or managing what follows. This can work as a clearly defined service, but it should not be taken as the standard seller’s broker. Published guidance usually includes work after the offer, with Horizon Yachts International describing the deposit, survey and sea-trial stages and YachtWorld explaining 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.
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 Marina di Alassio.

As your buyer’s broker at Marina di Alassio, we represent you rather than the seller. That means a dedicated representative across a wider search, including boats listed by other brokerages, with help preparing offers, coordinating inspections and keeping every step in writing.
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.
With a yacht identified, the broker can prepare and negotiate the offer with the buyer, explain the transaction’s steps and deadlines and work with the seller’s listing broker. The process may bring a purchase agreement, deposit and escrow arrangements, an independent marine survey, specialist inspections, a sea trial and more discussions afterwards. The broker can coordinate those steps and keep communication moving. The independent technical inspection is the surveyor’s work, and the broker does not replace it.
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.
A buyer’s broker can be paid by an agreed share of the commission through a cooperating listing broker, or by a fee the buyer owes under a separate representation agreement; arrangements vary. The fee, duration, scope of authority and any exclusivity belong in writing before the search begins. This gives the purchaser a dedicated representative across a wider search, including when another brokerage lists the chosen yacht. Buyers weighing up boats close to Marina di Alassio should settle these points first.

Full service means we take care of the details: valuation, listing, viewings, offers, contract, deposit, survey, sea trial and closing, with our Olbia head office and a local broker behind you at Marina di Alassio. If you want us to act for both parties, the written agreement says so and explains how it works.
The full-service yacht broker takes a sale from the owner’s first conversation through to completion. Typical tasks: assessing the yacht and its asking price, photographs and particulars, advertising, enquiries, viewings, communicating offers, and helping the parties through the contract, deposit, survey, sea trial and closing of an accepted offer. The broker may also coordinate documentation, escrow arrangements, delivery or other details. The listing and sale documents should record exactly what service is provided.
Dual agency means one broker represents both parties in the same transaction, as the Yacht Brokers Association of America describes it. In this profile the broker deals directly with the buyer and represents buyer and seller alike. It differs from a listing broker who helps a buyer with the sale but remains appointed to represent the seller. Ask the broker to explain the relationship before you make 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.
The commission is often dealt with in the seller’s listing agreement, but payment arrangements vary, so a buyer should check whether any separate fee is owed. Remember that full-service describes the range of work, while dual agency describes whom the broker represents. A broker can offer extensive transaction support without representing both sides.
From our Olbia head office we manage a network of brokers serving Italy’s coastal regions and many of its marinas. The first conversation is with the Olbia team, who connect you with the broker for your area, and that broker can reach any Italian marina in less than sixty minutes, thanks to the network, to visit your boat and give a valuation free of charge.
Owners and buyers at Marina di Alassio, Liguria, deal with the broker for that area, and the same applies along the rest of the Italian coast. Our agents and delegates cover Abruzzo, Basilicata, Calabria, Campania, Emilia-Romagna, Friuli-Venezia Giulia, Lazio, Liguria, Marche, Molise, Apulia, Sardinia, Sicily, Tuscany and Veneto, and they can talk to customers and visit their boats quickly, working with the Olbia head office.
A valuation starts with the boat’s details and condition: download our Sales Mandate and Evaluation Sheet and we will study the market for you. The result is a precise, evidence-based valuation informed by the sales data available to us for boats worldwide over the past three years, and it is an assessment of likely market value rather than a guarantee of the sale price.
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 Italy, 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.
