YACHT BROKER

Our yacht broker Sardinia 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
EYB coordinates the sale from head office, with local brokerage support, legal oversight, targeted marketing and multilingual buyer communication in Sardinia.
EYB asks owners to begin with head office, providing the boat’s key details and its current port in Sardinia. 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 Sardinia 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 Sardinia, 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.
To reach buyers beyond the home marina, EYB’s marketing department uses SEO, social channels and relevant boat-sale platforms in national and international markets.
The material is built around the boat rather than generic promotional claims. Specifications, equipment, condition and owner-supplied history are combined with photographs and a precise location in Sardinia. That gives prospective buyers a useful first view before they contact the sales team.
The campaign can be adjusted as the sale develops. Marketing staff coordinate with sales colleagues to update confirmed information, respond to interest and keep the listing aligned with the owner’s agreed instructions.
Buyer contact is managed by EYB’s sales team. Team members respond to enquiries, follow up interest, arrange appointments and help the parties negotiate, using the languages relevant to the client.
For a vessel in Sardinia, the sales team works with the owner and local support to answer location-specific questions and organise viewings. This helps a prospective buyer move from reading the listing to seeing the boat, subject to access and availability.
Offers and conditions are discussed with the seller. The team supports communication and keeps track of next steps, while the decision to accept an offer remains with the owner.
The rules for recreational-vessel brokerage in Sardinia come from Italian national law. The Code of Recreational Boating addresses the mediatore del diporto and mediation of contracts involving recreational boats, including sales. Normattiva, Legislative Decree 171/2005
Chamber of Commerce guidance describes the regulated activity and related requirements. Chamber of Commerce, Mediatore del diporto
EYB provides local brokerage support in Sardinia in line with the applicable national framework. The central team oversees the sale and its lawyer handles the mandate, sale contract and related administrative requirements.
If you are looking for a boat in Sardinia, 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.
For a boat based in Sardinia, EYB checks viewing requests with the seller and helps arrange a suitable appointment with local assistance. Buyer and seller may agree an independent survey or sea trial, subject to access and timing. They confirm the survey scope and practical conditions before the visit.
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.
Once the buyer and seller accept the terms, a 10% deposit is placed in escrow under the transaction arrangements. The written contract sets out who holds it and which agreed conditions must be fulfilled before release.
The rest of the price is paid straight to the seller after all conditions have been met. EYB helps coordinate the process, but the signed sale documents define the parties’ obligations and payment steps.
Seller's checklist
Sardinia has three airports, Olbia, Alghero and Cagliari, and the island is large enough that the right one depends entirely on where the boat is berthed.
In the north-east, Porto Cervo Marina and Marina di Portorotondo take yachts up to 120 metres and IGY Portisco Marina up to 90 metres, with a 110-tonne travel lift at Portisco. All three are within 32 km of Olbia airport. Marina di Olbia is 7 km from the terminal, with haul-out at Cantiere Navale Isola Bianca, which has a 100-tonne travel lift. Porto Cervo Marina IGY Portisco Marina
In the north-west, Porto di Alghero has 2,119 berths for yachts up to 60 metres and is 13 km from Alghero airport, with haul-out at Ambrosio Shipyard. Porto Torres, 31 km from the same airport, has a 670-tonne travel lift at SNA Shipyard. Porto di Alghero
In the south, Marina di Capitana is 30 km from Cagliari airport and has a 60-tonne travel lift; Marina di Villasimius takes yachts up to 60 metres and is 65 km away, a little over an hour by car. On the east coast, Marina di Arbatax takes yachts up to 85 metres and has a 200-tonne travel lift at Cantieri Mulas, but it is 147 km from Cagliari, about two hours by road.

Reviews from European Yacht Brokers clients, as published on Google (5.0, European Yacht Brokers) and on our client pages.
Yes. Contact EYB head office with the boat’s details and port in Sardinia. The team can explain how it coordinates the sale and local brokerage support under applicable Italian requirements.
A qualified lawyer prepares EYB’s sales mandate and sale contract. The lawyer also handles registration and other administrative requirements relevant to the transaction, working from the boat’s details and the terms agreed by the parties.
EYB charges a flat 5% commission under the seller’s agreed mandate. The commission and sale terms are documented before the boat is marketed.
Yes. The sales team coordinates a viewing request with the owner and local support near the boat’s actual port in Sardinia. Access and timing depend on availability and the seller’s approval, so appointments are agreed in advance.
Surveys and sea trials can be arranged by agreement. The parties set the appointment and scope beforehand; the surveyor works independently of EYB and the seller.
The buyer deposits 10% into escrow, subject to the transaction documents. Those documents govern release, and the outstanding balance is paid directly to the seller once the agreed conditions are fulfilled.
