Frequently asked questions

Why use a broker rather than selling or buying privately

Engaging a broker provides access to a wider network of qualified buyers or sellers, reducing the time a yacht remains on the market. Brokers also handle negotiations and legalities, which can be complex when dealing privately.

How the broker helps sell a boat

A broker presents the yacht professionally to potential buyers, manages enquiries, organises viewings, and supports negotiations. They help prepare necessary documentation and guide the seller through the transaction process.

How the broker helps buy a boat

A broker assists buyers by identifying suitable yachts based on specific criteria, arranging inspections and sea trials, and acting as an intermediary during negotiations to facilitate a fair agreement.

How a valuation is carried out

Valuations consider the yacht’s age, condition, equipment, market trends and recent comparable sales. A physical inspection usually takes place to assess wear, maintenance history and any necessary repairs.

Commission in general terms

Commission rates vary depending on the yacht’s value and services provided, and are typically negotiated beforehand. These fees are agreed upon between broker and client and reflect the scope of work involved.

Organising viewings

The broker coordinates viewing appointments at times convenient for both parties, often accompanying clients to provide technical insights and make sure the yacht is presented clearly and accurately.

Sea trials

Sea trials are organised by the broker to evaluate the yacht’s performance and handling. These outings help confirm the vessel’s condition and suitability before any commitment is made.

Independent surveys

Surveys are arranged to assess structural integrity and onboard systems, providing an impartial report. Recommendations depend on the yacht, flag, and ownership requirements and can influence purchase decisions.

Documentation for sale or purchase

Documentation includes proof of ownership, registration papers, and compliance certificates. Brokers assist in gathering and verifying these documents, which vary according to jurisdiction and vessel history.

Working with clients who are not local or are abroad

Yacht brokers Marina de Olhão facilitate communication and offer remote advice regarding viewings, surveys and paperwork. They coordinate with local professionals to support clients not based nearby.
