Which yacht broker do you need at Port de Roses?
If you are selling, you need a broker who works for you: someone to value, list and advertise the yacht and bring you offers. If your plan is to buy, you need a broker on your side of the table: someone to search the market, compare boats and negotiate. Prefer a single point of contact for everything? A full-service broker can handle the whole transaction and, if it is agreed in writing, act for both parties. We offer all three at Port de Roses.
Brokerage is what we do, and we make it easy: a free valuation, a commission of just 5%, over 20 international platforms including YachtWorld, six languages and a local broker who can reach any Spanish marina, including Port de Roses, in under an hour. Tell us whether you want to sell, buy or have one broker for both, and we will take it from there.
Here is what you get from us as a seller at Port de Roses: a free, evidence-based valuation, a listing prepared with photographs and full particulars, advertising on over 20 international platforms including YachtWorld, replies to every enquiry and arranged viewings. We charge 5% and spell out in the agreement exactly which services are included.
The seller’s listing broker is the professional the owner engages to present the yacht to the market and find a buyer. The broker may help with the asking price, with specifications and photographs, with preparing and advertising the listing, and with enquiries and viewings. The listing agreement should set out whether the appointment is exclusive or open, how long it lasts, what commission is payable and what services the broker will provide.
Some owners choose a listing and marketing service and nothing more. The broker then advertises the yacht, hands any offer to the owner and takes no responsibility for negotiating or managing what follows. This can work as a clearly defined service, but it should not be taken as the standard seller’s broker. Published guidance usually includes work after the offer, with Horizon Yachts International describing the deposit, survey and sea-trial stages and YachtWorld explaining that a broker may arrange a survey and sea trial.
The handover point matters, so ask before you sign. Who negotiates price and conditions? Who prepares or explains the paperwork? Who tracks deadlines and contingencies, arranges survey and sea-trial access, and coordinates closing, payment and the transfer documents? Tasks the broker leaves out may need separate professional help.
The listing broker acts for the seller. If you are a buyer contacting that broker directly, ask whom the broker represents and whether you should have your own representative. Another broker can bring a buyer through a co-brokerage arrangement, in which firms may share commission under their agreement, and the seller should check what that means for fee and service in their contract. This is why the profile is best read as a seller’s listing broker with limited scope rather than a definition of yacht brokerage. It holds equally at Port de Roses.

You do not need to find the right yacht alone. European Yacht Brokers helps buyers at Port de Roses shortlist boats, ask the right questions of listing brokers, negotiate, and organise the survey and sea trial, with a local broker nearby and a team that speaks your language.
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.
The next stage starts when the buyer settles on a yacht. The broker can help prepare and negotiate an offer, explain the steps and deadlines, and coordinate with the seller’s listing broker through the purchase agreement, deposit and escrow arrangements, independent marine survey, specialist inspections, sea trial and any discussions that follow the inspections. Keeping everyone in communication is part of the job. Assessing the yacht is the surveyor’s job; a broker does not replace an independent technical inspection.
Some yacht brokerages publish what their buyer services include: research, negotiation, survey coordination, sea-trial arrangements and assistance with closing documentation. At Curtis Stokes & Associates that means helping buyers research and preview yachts, prepare offers, negotiate and find surveyors and documentation support; HMY describes coordinating survey and sea-trial stages, post-survey discussions and closing. Since services vary, buyers should ask what the broker will handle and what remains theirs.
A buyer’s broker can be paid by an agreed share of the commission through a cooperating listing broker, or by a fee the buyer owes under a separate representation agreement; arrangements vary. The fee, duration, scope of authority and any exclusivity belong in writing before the search begins. This gives the purchaser a dedicated representative across a wider search, including when another brokerage lists the chosen yacht. Buyers weighing up boats close to Port de Roses should settle these points first.

A single point of contact can make a sale smoother, and that is what our full-service broker offers owners and buyers at Port de Roses. Dual agency is available only where it is agreed in writing, and we recommend you ask us to explain it before any offer is made.
A full-service yacht broker can run a sale from the first conversation with the owner to completion. The work may include assessing the yacht and its asking price, preparing photographs and particulars, advertising, answering enquiries, arranging viewings, passing on offers and helping the parties take an accepted offer through contract, deposit, survey, sea trial and closing. The agreement may also cover documentation, escrow arrangements, delivery and other practical matters. The listing and sale documents should set out the precise service.
Dual agency, in the words of the Yacht Brokers Association of America, is one broker representing both parties in the same transaction, and it is what this profile describes: a broker dealing directly with the buyer while representing buyer and seller. It is not the same as a listing broker who helps a buyer but stays appointed by the seller. The buyer should ask for the relationship to be explained before making an offer.
Buyer and seller want different things. Generally the seller seeks the strongest price and terms, while the buyer wants a suitable yacht at a fair price and has to make informed decisions about its condition. One broker for both cannot negotiate privately for each side as two independent representatives would. The YBAA discussion stresses transparency about the arrangement and careful handling of confidential information. Because the rules and permitted arrangements vary by jurisdiction, the parties should rely on the written agreement and local advice.
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.
European Yacht Brokers directs its Spanish operations from Valencia, with brokers serving coastal regions and many marinas throughout the country. Start with the Valencia team, who will connect you with the broker responsible for your area. The regional network lets us arrange for a broker to reach any Spanish marina in less than an hour; the local broker can arrange a visit to your boat and provide a valuation at no charge.
Coverage is by region. For Port de Roses in Roses the broker is the one for Catalonia; elsewhere our delegates and agents cover Catalonia, the Valencian Community, Murcia, Andalusia, the Balearic Islands, the Canary Islands, Galicia, Asturias, Cantabria and the Basque Country. They can speak to customers and visit their boats at short notice, with the Valencia head office keeping everything coordinated.
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.
After appointment, your regional broker handles finding a buyer, or the right boat for you, and guides you through the transaction to completion and the successful transfer of funds. We advertise across over 20 platforms throughout Europe so boats are seen beyond the Spanish market, and reaching international buyers can often help secure a stronger price than relying on local demand alone. Six languages are spoken between our brokers, so someone can talk to you in yours.

The seller engages a listing broker to bring the yacht to market and seek a buyer: helping set an asking price, preparing the listing, advertising it, answering enquiries and arranging viewings.
No. The surveyor assesses the yacht and the broker does not replace an independent technical inspection, but a buyer’s broker can help arrange 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. A single broker cannot act as two independent negotiators, so the arrangement and the handling of confidential information should be clear.
Through our regional network we can arrange for a broker to reach any Spanish marina in less than an hour, coordinated from the Valencia head office.
We take care of it. We organise the contract, the legal side and the transfer of ownership, so you have nothing to do.
