YACHT BROKER
Free valuation · only 5% commission
Our yacht broker Emilia-Romagna team helps owners and buyers through European Yacht Brokers’ Mediterranean network. Local brokerage support connects viewings and negotiations with head office, while our qualified lawyer, marketing department and multilingual sales team handle the work needed to progress the transaction.
HEAD OFFICE
LEGAL
MARKETING
SALES
Owners in Emilia-Romagna can use EYB’s coordinated sale process: central management, local knowledge, professionally prepared documents, broad promotion and buyer follow-up in relevant languages.
EYB asks owners to begin with head office, providing the boat’s key details and its current port in Emilia-Romagna. This allows the team to discuss the boat and give an initial valuation before the owner decides whether to appoint EYB.
If both sides wish to proceed, they agree the mandate and sale conditions. EYB’s commission is a flat 5%, and the mandate sets out this fee with the other terms of the sale appointment.
With those terms established, head office coordinates the campaign and keeps the owner informed about buyer interest, viewings and offers. An initial valuation is an assessment based on available information, not a guaranteed selling price.

A sale involves people in more than one place. EYB head office organises the campaign and keeps track of enquiries, offers and agreed next steps; a local broker familiar with Emilia-Romagna can assist with local questions and viewing logistics.
That local input adds context for a buyer who has not visited the marina. The support can help explain where the vessel is kept and coordinate an appointment, while the owner retains control over access and offer decisions.
EYB’s Mediterranean network helps the listing reach clients outside the immediate area. Central coordination connects that wider audience with accurate local information and a consistent sales process.
EYB’s legal work is handled by a qualified lawyer, who prepares both the mandate and the sale contract. Registration and related administration for the transaction are also part of this role.
At appointment, the mandate sets out the terms agreed between the owner and EYB. It provides the written reference for the commission, the sale instruction and other agreed conditions. The owner has an opportunity to read it before the marketing campaign starts.
When a buyer and seller agree a transaction involving a boat in Emilia-Romagna, the lawyer prepares the contract around those agreed terms and handles the relevant administrative requirements. The documents are tied to the specific sale and vessel.
EYB’s marketing department promotes boats through current SEO and social media techniques, together with relevant national and international sales platforms.
The presentation starts with accurate specifications and a clear account of the boat’s condition, equipment and history. Photographs and listing text should help a buyer understand the vessel and why its location in Emilia-Romagna is relevant. The team can use the information supplied by the owner to prepare a listing suited to the boat and the audience.
Promotion is coordinated with sales, so the team can respond when buyers ask for further details or a viewing. Updates can be made when new information or images become available.
Multilingual communication is part of the sales process. EYB’s team handles enquiries from prospective buyers, organises viewings and supports negotiation through to the agreed next steps.
The team works with the owner to answer questions about a boat in Emilia-Romagna and coordinate a visit. Where local help is useful, it can support arrangements at the boat’s port. The buyer receives follow-up from the sales team after making an enquiry or attending a viewing.
Price, timing and conditions are discussed with the seller. EYB facilitates those discussions, but the owner decides whether to proceed with an offer.
The legal framework for brokerage in Emilia-Romagna is the Italian Code of Recreational Boating. Its mediatore del diporto provisions apply nationally to relevant mediation of recreational-vessel contracts, including sale transactions. Normattiva, Legislative Decree 171/2005
Chamber of Commerce guidance provides information about the regulated activity and applicable requirements. Chamber of Commerce, Mediatore del diporto
EYB coordinates local support in Emilia-Romagna in line with the national rules. Its lawyer draws up the sale mandate and contract and handles registration and other administrative requirements relevant to the transaction.
If you are looking for a boat in Emilia-Romagna, tell EYB the type of boat, your budget and the stretch of coast you prefer. The sales team replies in the relevant languages and puts you in touch with the right local support.
Viewings are arranged around the owner’s availability and the boat’s access arrangements in Emilia-Romagna. EYB coordinates with the buyer and local contact. If the parties wish to proceed with a survey or sea trial, they agree its scope, timing and conditions before it takes place.
When you make an offer, EYB passes it to the owner and helps both sides agree the price and conditions. The lawyer then prepares the sale contract, and the purchase moves to deposit and completion, set out below.
EYB’s process provides for a 10% deposit from the buyer into escrow. The parties’ contract should make the holder, release conditions and other relevant payment terms clear before they proceed.
When all conditions agreed for the sale have been satisfied, the balance is transferred directly to the seller. Completion follows the transaction documents, with EYB helping the parties keep to the agreed sequence.
Seller's checklist
Emilia-Romagna’s marinas lie between Ravenna and the Romagna Riviera, and the nearest airport depends on which end the boat is at.
Marinara, at Marina di Ravenna, is the largest, with 1,152 berths for boats up to 30 metres. The nearest airport is Bologna, 96 km away and about an hour and a quarter by car. Marinara
On the Riviera, Marina di Rimini takes yachts up to 40 metres, has its own shipyard and is 8 km from Rimini airport. Portoverde, at Misano Adriatico, takes boats up to 25 metres and has 30-tonne and 15-tonne cranes; it is 11 km from the same airport. Cesenatico’s Porto Canale is 29 km away, with haul-out at Cantiere Navale Cesenatico. Marina di Rimini Portoverde
When you contact EYB, name the boat’s marina, or the stretch of coast you are searching if you are buying. The team then arranges local support at that port.
