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.”

Frequently asked questions

Why use a broker rather than selling or buying privately

Using a broker provides access to a network of potential buyers and sellers, reducing the time spent on negotiations and legalities. Brokers can offer guidance on market conditions and help manage the complexities involved in yacht transactions.

How the broker helps sell a boat

A broker handles advertising, negotiates on behalf of the owner, and coordinates viewings. They also assist with preparing the necessary documents and advise on pricing based on current market trends and the yacht’s condition.

How the broker helps buy a boat

When buying, a broker identifies suitable yachts, arranges viewings, and advises on negotiations. They can also facilitate communication with the seller and guide through the purchase process, including inspections and paperwork.

How a valuation is carried out

Valuation involves assessing the yacht’s age, condition, equipment, and recent sales of similar vessels. Factors such as maintenance history and market demand also influence the estimated value, providing a realistic price range for sale or purchase.

Commission in general terms

Commission is usually a percentage of the sale price, agreed between broker and client. It covers marketing, negotiation, and administrative efforts. The exact rate depends on the brokerage agreement and the value of the yacht involved.

Organising viewings

Viewings are arranged at mutually convenient times, often coordinated by the broker. They provide access to the boat and can accompany prospective buyers to answer questions and discuss features in detail during each visit.

Sea trials

Sea trials are organised to assess a yacht’s performance under real conditions. The broker typically arranges these, making sure the necessary permissions and insurance are in place for a thorough inspection on the water.

Independent surveys

Independent surveys are recommended before purchase and can be organised via the broker. They provide a professional assessment of the yacht’s condition, helping to identify any structural or mechanical issues not visible during viewings or sea trials.

Documentation for sale or purchase

Documentation requirements vary depending on the yacht’s flag, ownership, and jurisdiction. Brokers assist with assembling essential paperwork such as ownership proof, registration, and compliance certificates to support the transaction.

Working with clients who are not local or are abroad

Yacht brokers Marina da Costa Nova accommodate remote clients by handling communications, arranging inspections, and managing documentation. They facilitate the process to accommodate buyers or sellers who are overseas or otherwise unable to attend in person.
