HEAD OFFICE

MARKETING
SALES
Owners in Andalusia can use EYB’s coordinated sale process: central management, local knowledge, professionally prepared documents, broad promotion and buyer follow-up in relevant languages.
Start by contacting EYB head office with the boat’s location, model, year, condition and your plans. The team discusses the vessel and prepares an initial valuation from the information available. That assessment opens a conversation about a realistic asking price and the likely sale approach.
Before promotion begins, you and EYB agree the mandate and sale terms. The commission is a flat 5%, recorded in the mandate so you can review it alongside the other agreed conditions.
Head office then coordinates communication and next steps. The initial valuation is a starting assessment, not a guarantee of a final sale price; offers and final terms remain subject to agreement between seller and buyer.

EYB combines central coordination with support close to the boat. Head office manages the wider sale and links the owner, legal team, marketing department and sales team, while local support can help with enquiries about the boat’s marina and arrange visits.
This matters in Andalusia, where buyers may want practical information about the berth, access or local arrangements before making a journey. A contact familiar with the area can help explain those details and coordinate a viewing with the seller.
The network also gives a locally based boat exposure to buyers beyond its home port.
The legal department has a qualified lawyer who prepares the mandate and the contract used for the boat sale. The lawyer also handles registration and other administrative steps relevant to the transaction.
The owner first reviews the mandate, which captures the sale terms agreed with EYB. If an offer is accepted, the sale contract reflects the conditions agreed between the buyer and seller. The paperwork follows the facts of that boat and transaction.
In Andalusia, the same legal support applies to the boat’s sale, with administration handled for the specific vessel. The lawyer coordinates the required documents with the parties as the transaction progresses.
EYB’s marketing department promotes boats through current SEO and social media techniques, together with relevant national and international sales platforms.
The presentation starts with accurate specifications and a clear account of the boat’s condition, equipment and history. Photographs and listing text should help a buyer understand the vessel and why its location in Andalusia is relevant. The team can use the information supplied by the owner to prepare a listing suited to the boat and the audience.
Promotion is coordinated with sales, so the team can respond when buyers ask for further details or a viewing. Updates can be made when new information or images become available.
Multilingual communication is part of the sales process. EYB’s team handles enquiries from prospective buyers, organises viewings and supports negotiation through to the agreed next steps.
The team works with the owner to answer questions about a boat in Andalusia and coordinate a visit. Where local help is useful, it can support arrangements at the boat’s port. The buyer receives follow-up from the sales team after making an enquiry or attending a viewing.
Price, timing and conditions are discussed with the seller. EYB facilitates those discussions, but the owner decides whether to proceed with an offer.
For a private recreational craft in Spain, the official maritime pages specify registration and sale formalities, not a standalone sales-broker authorisation. The country rules therefore centre on the vessel record and proof of transfer. Spain provides a general flagging and registration procedure as well as a special regime for qualifying CE-marked craft up to 12 metres. The buyer should verify which document applies to the individual boat. The same country-level duties apply in Andalusia. Spanish Maritime Administration, ownership and registration procedures
A change of owner is reported by the seller, with the buyer permitted to submit it as well, no later than three months after the transaction. The authority asks for documentary proof of the change. Compare the boat’s hull and registry details with the transfer evidence before filing. Keep original invoices and import evidence for the VAT file, since EU guidance generally treats a boat in EU customs territory as retaining Union-goods status.

EYB arranges local brokerage support for Andalusia in accordance with these requirements, with a qualified lawyer preparing the sale contract and handling registration. Confirm the recorded owner against the vessel papers and retain copies of the completed transfer documents. European Commission, guidance on VAT and customs for pleasure craft
If you are looking for a boat in Andalusia, tell EYB the type of boat, your budget and the stretch of coast you prefer. The sales team replies in the relevant languages and puts you in touch with the right local support.
The sales team coordinates enquiries and viewing requests with the owner and local support near the boat’s port in Andalusia. The parties can arrange an independent survey and, if agreed, a sea trial. Timing depends on access, availability and the seller’s approval; the surveyor is independent and the parties agree the scope and practical arrangements in advance.
When you make an offer, EYB passes it to the owner and helps both sides agree the price and conditions. The lawyer then prepares the sale contract, and the purchase moves to deposit and completion, set out below.
Under EYB’s stated process, the buyer pays a 10% deposit into escrow after the parties agree the sale terms. The sale documents record the conditions that must be met before completion and should identify the escrow holder and release terms.
When all agreed conditions are satisfied, the remaining balance goes directly to the seller. EYB coordinates the steps with the parties, while the contract governs the deposit and completion sequence for the specific transaction.
