Frequently asked questions

Why use a broker rather than selling or buying privately?

Using a broker offers access to a wider network of buyers or sellers, provides experience in negotiation and documentation, and reduces the personal time and effort required in private transactions. This can be particularly beneficial when dealing with complex regulatory or market conditions.

How does the broker help sell a boat?

A broker assists by advising on market positioning, preparing accurate listings, arranging professional photography, and managing inquiries. They also coordinate viewings and negotiations, helping with the entire sale process from start to completion.

How does the broker help buy a boat?

When buying, the broker identifies suitable vessels, facilitates communication with sellers, arranges inspections and sea trials, and advises on fair pricing. They also assist with the administration required to complete the purchase.

How is a valuation carried out?

Valuation considers the boat’s condition, age, equipment, and recent market data. This may involve physical inspection and comparison with similar vessels to provide a realistic guide price aligned with market trends.

What is the commission in general terms?

Commission rates vary depending on the broker and transaction size, usually agreed before engagement. They compensate the broker’s services but do not cover additional costs such as surveys or legal fees, which depend on the specific circumstances.

How are viewings organised?

Brokers coordinate viewing appointments at mutually convenient times, often at the marina or the boat’s location. They handle communication between parties to facilitate a smooth and efficient viewing process.

What about sea trials?

Sea trials are arranged by the broker to evaluate the vessel’s performance on the water. These trials help verify the boat’s condition and handling before any commitment is made, often accompanied by the prospective buyer or surveyor.

What role do independent surveys play?

Surveys provide an objective assessment of the vessel’s condition and are recommended prior to purchase. They may cover structural integrity, mechanical systems, and safety equipment, with requirements depending on boat type and flag.

How is documentation handled for sale or purchase?

Documentation varies according to ownership, jurisdiction and boat type. Brokers assist in gathering necessary paperwork, such as registration, ownership proof and compliance certificates, to facilitate lawful and transparent transactions.

How do yacht brokers Porto de Recreio de Sesimbra work with clients who are not local or are abroad?

For non-local clients, brokers manage remote negotiations, inspections, and documentation, often utilising digital communication and local contacts to support transactions efficiently despite geographical distance.
