YACHT BROKER

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 Galicia.
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.

The boat stays rooted in its own harbour, but its potential buyers may live elsewhere. EYB coordinates the sale from head office and uses local brokerage support in Galicia when a buyer needs location-specific information or wants to inspect the vessel.
The central team connects marketing, legal administration, the seller and interested clients. Local support can help make a visit practical and answer questions about the boat’s immediate setting without taking decisions away from the owner.
This arrangement combines access to buyers across EYB’s Mediterranean network with someone familiar with the relevant area. Enquiries, negotiation and next steps are followed up centrally.
A qualified lawyer supports the transaction from its written instruction to completion. EYB’s lawyer prepares the sales mandate, draws up the sale contract and deals with registration and other relevant administrative requirements.
The mandate is where the owner and EYB record the sale appointment and its terms. The contract later documents the arrangement accepted by the buyer and seller. Both are prepared for the particular transaction rather than treated as interchangeable paperwork.
For owners selling in Galicia, the lawyer can work with the vessel records and details provided during the sale. This legal support sits alongside the broker’s and sales team’s work; it does not replace independent professional advice where a party needs it.
A listing needs to be visible and useful. EYB’s marketing department uses SEO, social media and the relevant national and international boat-sales platforms to bring the boat to prospective buyers.
The team prepares the presentation around the actual vessel: specifications, equipment, condition, history, photographs and location in Galicia. Clear, supportable details help clients decide whether the boat fits their needs and what questions to ask next.
Marketing does not end when the listing goes live. The department can coordinate changes to the presentation with the sales team as enquiries arrive, while ensuring that published information reflects what the owner has confirmed.
The sales team turns interest into a managed conversation. It responds to prospective buyers, gathers questions, coordinates viewings and supports price and condition discussions in the relevant languages.
Local support can assist when a buyer wants to visit a boat berthed in Galicia. The team checks availability with the owner and helps arrange an appointment, then follows up after the visit if the buyer needs further information.
If an offer is made, EYB helps the parties communicate clearly about the proposed terms. The seller remains responsible for deciding whether the offer is acceptable and agreeing the final conditions.
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 Galicia. 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. European Commission, guidance on VAT and customs for pleasure craft Spanish Maritime Administration, recreational craft registration
EYB arranges local brokerage support for Galicia 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 Galicia, 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 Galicia. 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.

Real Club Náutico de Vigo accommodates vessels 6–30 m long with a draft range of 1.5–8 m, provides weather information, and links to a Vigo tide table; the port also lists 24-hour seamanship and emergency contact on VHF channel 9.
