Frequently asked questions

Why use a broker rather than selling or buying privately?

Using a broker provides access to professional market knowledge and negotiation experience, which can save time and avoid common pitfalls. Brokers also handle paperwork and coordinate logistics, reducing the complexity involved in private sales or purchases.

How does the broker help sell a boat?

A broker helps by preparing the vessel for sale, marketing it to the appropriate audience, arranging viewings and sea trials, and managing offers and negotiations until completion, streamlining the process for the seller.

How does the broker help buy a boat?

When purchasing a boat, the broker identifies suitable listings, organises viewings and surveys, advises on market value, assists with negotiations and facilitates the completion of legal and financial arrangements.

How is a valuation carried out?

A valuation considers the vessel’s condition, age, equipment, recent sales data and market demand. It may involve an inspection, comparison with similar boats on the market, and review of any recent maintenance or upgrades.

What about commission in general terms?

Commission is typically a percentage of the sale price, agreed before starting the sale process. It covers marketing, negotiation and administrative work. Exact rates vary depending on the vessel and services provided.

How are viewings organised?

Viewings are arranged at mutually convenient times and usually take place at the marina or agreed location. Brokers coordinate schedules between buyers and sellers to facilitate personal inspections of the boat.

What role do sea trials play?

Sea trials are organised so potential buyers can assess the vessel’s performance and handling under real conditions. These trials provide practical insight beyond static inspections, contributing to informed purchasing decisions.

Are independent surveys recommended?

Independent surveys provide an impartial assessment of the boat’s condition and identify any hidden issues. They are generally recommended for both buyers and sellers to clarify the vessel’s state before purchase or sale.

What documentation is involved in sale or purchase?

Documentation varies with the boat, flag, ownership and jurisdiction, but typically includes proof of ownership, registration, VAT or tax paperwork, and legally required safety certificates pertinent to the vessel.

How do yacht brokers Doca de Recreio de Santo Amaro work with clients who are not local or are abroad?

For clients abroad, brokers manage communications remotely, coordinate surveys and viewings on behalf of clients, and handle much of the legal and logistical organisation to facilitate transactions without the need for direct presence.
