Which yacht broker do you need at Porto di Lavagna?
Three questions decide which yacht broker you need at Porto di Lavagna. Are you selling? Then you want a seller’s broker, who markets the yacht and passes you the offers. Are you buying? Then you want a buyer’s broker, who researches the market and negotiates for you. Want one person to see the whole deal through? A full-service broker can do that and, if both parties agree in writing, represent both sides. We explain each below.
Brokerage is what we do, and we make it easy: a valuation at no charge, a commission of just 5%, over 20 international platforms including YachtWorld, six languages and a local broker who can reach any Italian marina, including Porto di Lavagna, 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 Porto di Lavagna 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.
The handover point matters, so ask before you sign. Who negotiates price and conditions? Who prepares or explains the paperwork? Who tracks deadlines and contingencies, arranges survey and sea-trial access, and coordinates closing, payment and the transfer documents? Tasks the broker leaves out may need separate professional help.
The listing broker acts for the seller. If you are a buyer contacting that broker directly, ask whom the broker represents and whether you should have your own representative. Another broker can bring a buyer through a co-brokerage arrangement, in which firms may share commission under their agreement, and the seller should check what that means for fee and service in their contract. This is why the profile is best read as a seller’s listing broker with limited scope rather than a definition of yacht brokerage. It holds equally at Porto di Lavagna.

As your buyer’s broker at Porto di Lavagna, 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.
A buyer’s broker is engaged to represent the purchaser throughout the search and purchase. The first step can be a discussion of what the buyer wants: yacht type, size, budget, location and priorities. The broker can then study the market, pick out possible boats, gather information from the listing brokers, check the available records and help the buyer weigh up the choices. Some also preview yachts or set up remote viewings, so the client can shortlist before making a journey.
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.
Brokerages that offer buyer services list research, negotiation, survey coordination, sea-trial arrangements and closing-documentation help among them. Curtis Stokes & Associates describes 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. The precise scope varies from one broker to another, so settle with yours what it will handle and what you will.
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 Porto di Lavagna should ask these questions before appointing anyone.

At Porto di Lavagna, 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.
From the owner’s first call to completion, a full-service broker can manage the sale. That may mean assessing the yacht and the asking price, preparing photographs and particulars, advertising, dealing with enquiries, arranging viewings, communicating offers, and helping the parties move an accepted offer through contract, deposit, survey, sea trial and closing. Documentation, escrow arrangements, delivery and other practical details may be included too, depending on the agreement; the precise service belongs 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.
Their interests are not the same: the seller generally wants the strongest price and terms, and the buyer wants a suitable yacht at a fair price with enough information to judge its condition. A broker acting for both cannot negotiate privately for each side as if there were two independent representatives. For that reason the YBAA discussion emphasises transparency about the arrangement and careful treatment of confidential information. Rules differ by jurisdiction, so the written agreement and applicable local advice should be relied on.
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.
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 inside an hour, thanks to the network, to visit your boat and give a no-cost valuation.
Our people are where your boat is. Delegates and agents work across every coastal region of Italy, namely Abruzzo, Basilicata, Calabria, Campania, Emilia-Romagna, Friuli-Venezia Giulia, Lazio, Liguria, Marche, Molise, Apulia, Sardinia, Sicily, Tuscany and Veneto, so a client at Porto di Lavagna in Liguria can have the local broker visit the boat and talk things through quickly, while the Olbia head office stays your single point of contact.
Start a valuation by downloading our Sales Mandate and Evaluation Sheet. From the boat’s details and condition we can study the market and produce a precise, evidence-based valuation, drawing on the sales data we hold for boats worldwide over the past three years. Remember that a valuation assesses likely market value; it does not guarantee 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 Italian 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.
