Frequently asked questions

Why use a broker rather than selling or buying privately

Using a broker offers access to wider market knowledge and professional negotiation experience. Brokers can assist with legal and regulatory requirements, which vary considerably, making the transaction clearer and more structured than private dealings.

How the broker helps sell a boat

A broker manages advertising, liaises with potential buyers, organises viewings, and handles offers. They provide advice on presenting the boat and prepare necessary documents, helping to guide the sale from initial enquiry to final agreement.

How the broker helps buy a boat

When buying, a broker identifies suitable vessels, arranges inspections and sea trials, advises on market conditions, and assists in negotiations. They also offer guidance regarding appropriate surveys and documentation needed for purchase.

How a valuation is carried out

A valuation considers the boat’s age, condition, equipment, and recent sales of similar vessels. Local market trends and specific features of the yacht are assessed to provide a realistic estimate relevant to current market conditions.

Commission in general terms

Commission rates vary but are typically a percentage of the final sale price. They are agreed in advance and cover the broker’s services throughout the sale or purchase process, excluding additional costs such as surveys or legal fees.

Organising viewings

Brokers coordinate viewings to suit schedules and make sure boats are prepared and accessible. This includes managing appointments and facilitating inspections either in person or remotely, depending on the client’s location.

Sea trials

Sea trials allow assessment of a yacht’s performance and condition under real conditions. Brokers assist in arranging these trials with the owner or captain, providing an important step before finalising the sale.

Independent surveys

Surveys are arranged to assess the yacht’s condition, often by specialists independent from the broker. These reports are crucial for buyers and sellers to understand any maintenance or repair requirements.

Documentation for sale or purchase

Necessary paperwork depends on the vessel’s flag, ownership, and jurisdiction. Brokers help gather and review these documents, including registration, title, and compliance certificates to support a legitimate transfer.

Working with clients who are not local or are abroad

Remote clients can rely on yacht brokers Marina de Angra do Heroísmo to facilitate communication and documentation. Digital tools and trusted local contacts enable inspections, viewings, and negotiations at a distance.
