Which yacht broker do you need at Marina Lanzarote?
Brokers do not all do the same job. For an owner who sells, the broker lists, advertises and presents offers. When you buy, the broker searches, compares and negotiates on the buyer’s behalf. And a full-service broker can take charge of the transaction from start to finish, representing both parties only where this is agreed in writing and explained openly. Which one suits you at Marina Lanzarote depends on your plans.
You are not just buying a service from us; you are using the experience behind it. European Yacht Brokers values boats from sales data covering the past three years worldwide, handles the contract, the legal side and the transfer of ownership, asks buyers for a 10% deposit paid into escrow, and charges just 5%. Call or message the Valencia team and they will connect you with the broker for Canary Islands.
At Marina Lanzarote, European Yacht Brokers acts as your seller’s broker: we value the yacht, prepare the listing, advertise it, deal with enquiries and arrange the viewings, for a commission of just 5%. How much more we take on is agreed with you in writing, so you know exactly where our work starts and ends before you sign.
Bringing a yacht to market is the listing broker’s job, and the owner makes the appointment. The broker may help set the asking price, collect specifications and photographs, prepare the listing, advertise the yacht, respond to enquiries and arrange viewings. Check that the listing agreement explains whether it is exclusive or open, how long it runs, what commission applies and which services are included.
Sellers who want only a listing and marketing service can have one. The broker advertises the yacht and passes an offer to the owner but takes no responsibility for negotiation or for managing the rest of the transaction. That is a valid, defined service, yet it should not be assumed to apply to every seller’s broker, because yacht sale guidance usually includes the work that follows an offer: Horizon Yachts International covers the deposit, survey and sea-trial stages, and YachtWorld explains that a broker may arrange a survey and sea trial.
A seller should know exactly what the broker will and will not do. The questions to ask: will the broker negotiate price and conditions; help prepare or explain the paperwork; track deadlines and contingencies; arrange access for a survey or sea trial; coordinate closing, payment and transfer documents? Where the answer is no, arrange separate professional help to complete those tasks.
In the listing relationship, the broker’s client is the seller. Buyers who contact that broker should ask whom it represents and whether separate representation is needed. Co-brokerage can bring in a buyer through another firm, and the two firms may share commission according to their agreement; the seller should confirm what this does to the fee and service in their own contract. In short, this is a seller’s listing broker with a deliberately limited scope, not a general definition of brokerage, and it applies just as much to a yacht lying at Marina Lanzarote.

As your buyer’s broker at Marina Lanzarote, we represent you rather than the seller. That means a dedicated representative across a wider search, including boats listed by other brokerages, with help preparing offers, coordinating inspections and keeping every step in writing.
Appointing a buyer’s broker gives the purchaser a representative for the whole search. It can begin with a discussion of plans, yacht type, size, budget, location and priorities, after which the broker can research the market, identify boats, gather information from listing brokers, review records and help compare options. Some buyer brokers also preview yachts or arrange remote viewings, so the client narrows the choice before travelling.
Once a particular yacht is selected, the broker can assist with preparing and negotiating the offer, explaining the process and its deadlines, and coordinating with the seller’s listing broker. Typical stages are a purchase agreement, deposit and escrow arrangements, an independent marine survey, specialist inspections, a sea trial and follow-up discussions. Coordination and communication are the broker’s contribution; the surveyor assesses the yacht, and the broker is no substitute for an independent technical inspection.
Buyer services at yacht brokerages typically take in research, negotiation, survey coordination, sea-trial arrangements and assistance with closing documents. Examples: Curtis Stokes & Associates helps buyers research and preview yachts, prepare offers, negotiate and find surveyors and documentation support, and HMY coordinates the survey and sea-trial stages, post-survey discussions and closing. The service on offer varies, which is why the buyer should ask what the broker handles and what is left to the buyer.
Fees differ. The buyer’s broker may receive an agreed share of the commission through a cooperating listing broker, or the buyer may owe a fee under a separate representation agreement, so establish the fee, duration, scope of authority and any exclusivity in writing before the search begins. In return the buyer has a dedicated representative across a wider search, whichever brokerage lists the chosen yacht. Anyone considering a yacht near Marina Lanzarote should ask these questions before appointing a broker.

At Marina Lanzarote, European Yacht Brokers can act as a full-service broker: one team that looks after the sale from the first conversation to the transfer of funds. Where you want us to represent both buyer and seller, the arrangement is set out in writing for both parties.
Full service describes a broker who can look after the whole sale. After the first conversation with the owner the work may include assessing the yacht and asking price, photographs and particulars, advertising, enquiries, viewings and the communication of offers, then helping both parties move an accepted offer through the contract, deposit, survey, sea trial and closing. The broker may also coordinate documentation, escrow, delivery and other details. Set the precise service out in the listing and sale documents.
In this profile the broker also deals directly with the buyer and represents both buyer and seller, which the Yacht Brokers Association of America calls dual agency: one broker acting for both parties in the same transaction. A listing broker who merely helps a buyer with the sale, while still appointed by the seller, is a different thing. Before making an offer, a buyer should ask the broker to explain the relationship.
A broker for both sides faces two sets of interests. Sellers generally want the strongest price and terms; buyers want a suitable yacht at a fair price and need to make informed decisions on its condition. Private negotiation for each side, as two independent representatives would do, is not possible for one broker. The YBAA discussion therefore stresses transparency about the arrangement and careful handling of confidential information, and the parties should rely on the written agreement and applicable local advice, since the legal rules and permitted arrangements vary by jurisdiction.
Payment arrangements vary, though the seller’s listing agreement often addresses the commission. The buyer should check whether they owe any separate fee. Two terms are easily confused: full-service describes the range of work, and dual agency describes whom the broker represents. A broker can give extensive transaction support while representing only one side.
Valencia is our head office and your first point of contact, and from there brokers serve the coastal regions and many marinas throughout Spain. The Valencia team connect you with the broker responsible for your area, and our regional network means that broker can reach any Spanish marina within the hour to arrange a visit to your boat and provide a valuation free of charge.
Our people are where your boat is. Delegates and agents work across every coastal region of Spain, namely Catalonia, the Valencian Community, Murcia, Andalusia, the Balearic Islands, the Canary Islands, Galicia, Asturias, Cantabria and the Basque Country, so a client at Marina Lanzarote in Canary Islands can have the local broker visit the boat and talk things through quickly, while the Valencia head office stays your single point of contact.
Start a valuation by downloading our Sales Mandate and Evaluation Sheet. From the boat’s details and condition we can study the market and produce a precise, evidence-based valuation, drawing on the sales data we hold for boats worldwide over the past three years. Remember that a valuation assesses likely market value; it does not guarantee the eventual sale price.
When you appoint us, the regional broker takes over the work of finding a buyer, or of helping you find the right boat, and guides you to completion and the successful transfer of funds. Boats are advertised on over 20 platforms across Europe, which gives them visibility beyond the Spanish market; international buyers can often help secure a stronger price than local demand alone. And because our brokers speak six languages between them, we can connect you with someone who speaks your language.

Not necessarily. Some sellers take a limited service in which the broker advertises the yacht and passes offers to the owner, while other agreements also cover negotiation, survey, sea trial and closing. Ask before you sign.
No. The surveyor assesses the yacht and the broker does not replace an independent technical inspection, but the broker can help line up the survey and sea trial.
The seller generally wants the strongest price and terms, while the buyer wants a suitable yacht at a fair price. With one broker for both parties there are not two independent representatives, so the arrangement and the handling of confidential information should be clear.
You start with the Valencia team, who connect you with the broker responsible for your area.
The contract can be terminated at any time. If a buyer we introduced during the mandate buys the boat later, we are still entitled to our commission.
