YACHT BROKER

Our yacht broker Asturias team helps owners and buyers through European Yacht Brokers’ network. Local brokerage support connects viewings and negotiations with head office, while our qualified lawyer, marketing department and multilingual sales team handle the work needed to progress the transaction.

Owners in Asturias can use EYB’s coordinated sale process: central management, local knowledge, professionally prepared documents, broad promotion and buyer follow-up in relevant languages.
To begin, contact EYB head office and describe the boat, its equipment, history, condition and location in Asturias. The team will discuss your objectives and make an initial valuation using the information provided.
You can then review the proposed sale approach and agree the mandate with EYB. The commission is a flat 5%; the written mandate records that figure and the other agreed terms before the listing is promoted.
The valuation informs the conversation about price, but the accepted offer and completion terms are decided by the buyer and seller.

Head office gives the sale one organising point, even when the owner, boat and buyer are in different places. EYB coordinates the campaign, communicates with the seller and links each enquiry to the right person on the team.
For viewings and questions about a berth in Asturias, local brokerage support can help with arrangements and local context. That assistance complements the central sales process; it does not replace the owner’s role in deciding on offers or agreeing conditions.
EYB’s wider network introduces the listing to international clients, while local knowledge helps turn interest into an informed visit. The team keeps the exchanges connected from first enquiry through completion.
EYB’s legal work is handled by a qualified lawyer, who prepares both the mandate and the sale contract. Registration and related administration for the transaction are also part of this role.
At appointment, the mandate sets out the terms agreed between the owner and EYB. It provides the written reference for the commission, the sale instruction and other agreed conditions. The owner has an opportunity to read it before the marketing campaign starts.
When a buyer and seller agree a transaction involving a boat in Asturias, the lawyer prepares the contract around those agreed terms and handles the relevant administrative requirements. The documents are tied to the specific sale and vessel.
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 Asturias 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.
EYB’s sales team handles buyer enquiries, arranges viewings, supports negotiations and communicates with clients in the relevant languages.
When an enquiry concerns a boat in Asturias, the team gathers the buyer’s questions and coordinates clear replies with the owner. It can also discuss practical points such as the vessel’s availability and arrange a viewing with local assistance where needed.
If interest develops into an offer, the sales team helps the parties discuss the price and conditions. The owner decides whether to accept an offer and remains involved in agreeing the transaction.
Spain’s published recreational-craft procedures do not specify a separate licence for a yacht sales broker. They do, however, require the vessel’s registered ownership details to be updated after a sale in Asturias. Before advertising the boat, identify whether its papers are under the general Spanish registration system or the special route for eligible CE-marked boats no longer than 12 metres. Spanish Maritime Administration, ownership and registration procedures
The Spanish record is updated through a transfer notification made by the seller, or optionally the buyer, within three months. The application must be backed by papers showing the transfer. The paperwork should identify the same craft shown on the registration certificate, and the parties should keep a signed copy of the sale agreement. EU guidance says Union status normally continues while the boat remains in the customs territory; retain the invoice and relevant import evidence.

In Asturias, EYB arranges local brokerage support consistent with these requirements, while a qualified lawyer prepares the contract of sale and handles registration.

If you are looking for a boat in Asturias, 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.
For a boat based in Asturias, EYB checks viewing requests with the seller and helps arrange a suitable appointment with local assistance. Buyer and seller may agree an independent survey or sea trial, subject to access and timing. They confirm the survey scope and practical conditions before the visit.
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.
Once the buyer and seller accept the terms, a 10% deposit is placed in escrow under the transaction arrangements. The written contract sets out who holds it and which agreed conditions must be fulfilled before release.
The rest of the price is paid straight to the seller after all conditions have been met. EYB helps coordinate the process, but the signed sale documents define the parties’ obligations and payment steps.
