YACHT BROKER
Free valuation · only 5% commission
Our yacht broker Canary Islands 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.
HEAD OFFICE
LEGAL
MARKETING
SALES
EYB coordinates the sale from head office, with local brokerage support, legal oversight, targeted marketing and multilingual buyer communication in Canary Islands.
To begin, contact EYB head office and describe the boat, its equipment, history, condition and location in Canary Islands. 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 Canary Islands, 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.
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 Canary Islands, 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.
To reach buyers beyond the home marina, EYB’s marketing department uses SEO, social channels and relevant boat-sale platforms in national and international markets.
The material is built around the boat rather than generic promotional claims. Specifications, equipment, condition and owner-supplied history are combined with photographs and a precise location in Canary Islands. That gives prospective buyers a useful first view before they contact the sales team.
The campaign can be adjusted as the sale develops. Marketing staff coordinate with sales colleagues to update confirmed information, respond to interest and keep the listing aligned with the owner’s agreed instructions.
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 Canary Islands 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.
The Spanish rules cited here govern boat registration and transfer rather than a dedicated licence for yacht sales brokers. A sale in Canary Islands still requires the owner-change notification required for the boat’s record. The applicable record depends on the vessel and its registration route: some CE-marked craft of up to 12 metres may use a special registration regime, while others follow the general flagging process. Spanish Maritime Administration, ownership and registration procedures
After completion, the seller has up to three months to report the new ownership, while notification by the buyer is optional. Evidence supporting the transfer accompanies the request. A buyer should compare the hull identification and registration particulars in the transfer evidence with the boat and its current certificate. For a boat kept in EU customs territory, Union-goods status normally continues; preserve its original invoice and any import records relevant to VAT.

For Canary Islands, EYB arranges brokerage support in line with these requirements; its qualified lawyer prepares the sale contract and manages registration. Check the seller’s authority to transfer the boat and keep the signed contract and registry evidence. European Commission, guidance on VAT and customs for pleasure craft
If you are looking for a boat in Canary Islands, 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 Canary Islands, 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.
EYB’s process provides for a 10% deposit from the buyer into escrow. The parties’ contract should make the holder, release conditions and other relevant payment terms clear before they proceed.
When all conditions agreed for the sale have been satisfied, the balance is transferred directly to the seller. Completion follows the transaction documents, with EYB helping the parties keep to the agreed sequence.
