IN BRIEF

Yacht Broker Tuscany

Owners in Tuscany can use EYB’s coordinated sale process: central management, local knowledge, professionally prepared documents, broad promotion and buyer follow-up in relevant languages.

Selling your boat in Tuscany

Start by contacting EYB head office with the boat’s location, model, year, condition and your plans. The team discusses the vessel and prepares an initial valuation from the information available. That assessment opens a conversation about a realistic asking price and the likely sale approach.

Before promotion begins, you and EYB agree the mandate and sale terms. The commission is a flat 5%, recorded in the mandate so you can review it alongside the other agreed conditions.

Head office then coordinates communication and next steps. The initial valuation is a starting assessment, not a guarantee of a final sale price; offers and final terms remain subject to agreement between seller and buyer.

Valuation, terms, coordination.

02

Local broker

03

Contract, registration, handover.

Local brokers and international buyers

Head office gives the sale one organising point, even when the owner, boat and buyer are in different places. EYB coordinates the campaign, communicates with the seller and links each enquiry to the right person on the team.

For viewings and questions about a berth in Tuscany, local brokerage support can help with arrangements and local context. That assistance complements the central sales process; it does not replace the owner’s role in deciding on offers or agreeing conditions.

EYB’s wider network introduces the listing to international clients, while local knowledge helps turn interest into an informed visit. The team keeps the exchanges connected from first enquiry through completion.

The people handling your sale

Legal support for the transaction

The legal department has a qualified lawyer who prepares the mandate and the contract used for the boat sale. The lawyer also handles registration and other administrative steps relevant to the transaction.

The owner first reviews the mandate, which captures the sale terms agreed with EYB. If an offer is accepted, the sale contract reflects the conditions agreed between the buyer and seller. The paperwork follows the facts of that boat and transaction.

In Tuscany, the same legal support applies to the boat’s sale, with administration handled for the specific vessel. The lawyer coordinates the required documents with the parties as the transaction progresses.

Marketing built around the boat

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 Tuscany. 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.

A multilingual sales team

The sales team turns interest into a managed conversation. It responds to prospective buyers, gathers questions, coordinates viewings and supports price and condition discussions in the relevant languages.

Local support can assist when a buyer wants to visit a boat berthed in Tuscany. The team checks availability with the owner and helps arrange an appointment, then follows up after the visit if the buyer needs further information.

If an offer is made, EYB helps the parties communicate clearly about the proposed terms. The seller remains responsible for deciding whether the offer is acceptable and agreeing the final conditions.

Brokerage requirements in Italy

In Tuscany, yacht brokerage is governed by Italy’s national provisions for the mediatore del diporto. The Code of Recreational Boating covers mediation for recreational-vessel contracts, including a sale; there is no separate regional regime described here. Normattiva, Legislative Decree 171/2005

The Chamber of Commerce explains the professional activity and the requirements attached to it. Chamber of Commerce, Mediatore del diporto

EYB arranges regional brokerage assistance consistent with Italian requirements. The sale is centrally coordinated, while its qualified lawyer prepares the written mandate and contract and deals with relevant registration and administration.

Buying a yacht in Tuscany

If you are looking for a boat in Tuscany, 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.

A prospective buyer can request a visit through EYB’s sales team. The owner approves access, and local support can help coordinate arrangements at the Tuscany berth. Any survey or sea trial is agreed between the parties in advance, including timing, scope and access; the surveyor acts independently.

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.

Deposit and completion

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

  • Gather the ownership documents, registration papers and tax status.
  • Collect invoices, manuals and the maintenance history.
  • Prepare an up-to-date inventory of equipment.
  • Agree the mandate, asking price and viewing arrangements in writing.
  • Have the boat clean, tidy and ready to demonstrate its systems.
  • Weigh every offer with written conditions and clear timings.
  • Arrange secure payment and handover with a signed record.

Finding a broker along Tuscany’s coast

Most of Tuscany’s marinas are reached from Pisa airport; the Argentario, in the far south, is closer to Rome Fiumicino. The drive ranges from a quarter of an hour to more than an hour and a half.

Near Pisa, Porto di Pisa takes yachts up to 50 metres and is 14 km from the airport. Viareggio is 31 km away, and the Lusben yard in the harbour has a 600-tonne travel lift. Porto di Pisa Lusben Viareggio

On the Etruscan Coast, Marina Cala de’ Medici at Rosignano Solvay and Porto di Cecina take boats up to 36 and 40 metres, each with a yard, about 60 km and 40 minutes from Pisa. Marina Cala de’ Medici Porto di Cecina

In the Maremma, La Marina di Scarlino has 950 berths for boats up to 40 metres and the Nautor Swan service yard; it is 116 km from Pisa. Marina Cala Galera, on Monte Argentario, takes yachts up to 50 metres and is 142 km from Rome Fiumicino, about an hour and forty minutes by car. La Marina di Scarlino Marina Cala Galera

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.

I am particularly impressed with her response time. No matter what time or what day she will get back to you immediately. I wish the scale of stars will allow for more than 5 for those exceptional cases that exceed expectations, this will definitely be one. I strongly recommend her.”

“This is only the second time I’ve ever written a review. But European Yacht Brokers truly deserve it for their comprehensive service. They guided us step-by-step through the entire purchase process abroad. Sara, in particular, provided us with expert feedback at all times and guided us through the boat buying experience. Whether our future boat needed an inspection, maintenance, or technical modifications, Sara and her team on-site handled everything efficiently and without unnecessary bureaucracy. We found European Yacht Brokers to be open and honest brokers. They offer everything from a single source, and we would gladly use their services again if needed.”

“We have nothing but good things to say about Peter and Sara and European Yacht Brokers. We have felt really safe and well taken care of all the time. Due to a health scare we weren’t the quickest in our decisions but they were really patient and never pushy with us. As someone else said the response times have always been incredibly quick and the way they have communicated has been friendly, professional and clear. In addition their willingness to help has continued long after we finished our business together.”
