Frequently asked questions

Why use a broker rather than selling or buying privately?

Using a broker can provide access to a wider network of buyers or sellers and manage negotiations professionally. Brokers also assist with paperwork and legal requirements, reducing risks associated with private transactions in the boating market.

How does the broker help sell a boat?

A broker advises on pricing, advertises the vessel through relevant channels, and coordinates viewings and sea trials. They also facilitate communication between parties and assist in handling the necessary documentation for transfer.

How does the broker help buy a boat?

For buyers, brokers identify suitable yachts, arrange inspections and sea trials, and assist with making offers. They guide clients through the technical and legal aspects, helping to clarify details before completing a purchase.

How is a valuation carried out?

A valuation considers the boat’s condition, age, equipment, and market trends. Brokers compare similar sales and assess maintenance records to arrive at a fair estimate reflecting current demand and available alternatives.

What about commission in general terms?

Commission is usually a percentage of the sale price and is agreed beforehand. It covers the broker’s services in marketing, negotiations, and handling formalities. The exact rate depends on the broker and transaction involved.

How are viewings organised?

Brokers coordinate mutually convenient times for potential buyers to inspect the boat, often at marinas or moorings such as Porto de Recreio de Boca do Rio. Arrangements consider weather and vessel availability to facilitate thorough inspections.

Sea trials are arranged by the broker to assess the vessel’s performance and condition under way. An experienced skipper or surveyor may attend, giving buyers practical insight before proceeding with a purchase.

What is the role of independent surveys?

Independent surveys are recommended to assess the yacht’s condition objectively. Surveyors report on structural integrity, engine performance, and safety equipment, providing important information beyond standard broker inspections.

Which documentation is required for sale or purchase?
