The process

How a brokered sale actually works

From valuation to completion — the parts a good broker handles so you don't have to.

1

Valuation & pricing

Your broker reads recent comparable sales and live market conditions to set a price that sells without leaving money on the table.

2

Listing & photography

Professional photos, an accurate spec and a written description that does the boat justice — built to convert browsers into enquiries.

3

Marketing & exposure

Placed on the marketplace, the broker's own channels and across the network, in front of buyers actively searching for a boat like yours.

4

Qualifying enquiries

Your broker filters the genuine buyers from the tyre-kickers, so your time only goes on people who can actually complete.

5

Viewings & sea trial

Arranged and attended on your behalf, wherever the boat is lying — including the sea trial a serious buyer will expect.

6

Offer & deposit

Offers are negotiated by a professional. Once agreed, a deposit is taken and held, and the sale moves to survey.

7

Survey & conditions

The buyer's surveyor inspects; your broker manages any negotiation on findings so a deal doesn't fall apart over detail.

8

VAT, paperwork & completion

Bill of sale, VAT status, registration and flag transfer — handled properly, with funds released on completion.

Where she'll be seen

In front of real buyers

The sellyourboat.io marketplace

Your listing appears on a marketplace built to rank and be found by buyers searching across Europe.

Your broker's own channels

Their website, mailing list and existing buyer relationships — warm demand you'd never reach privately.

The wider broker network

As the network grows, listings reach buyers through partner brokers across more of the Mediterranean.

Not one broker — a network

Matched to the right specialist, every time

Most platforms tie you to a single firm. We're building a network of vetted brokers across Europe and the Mediterranean — so you're matched to the one who genuinely knows your boat and your waters, not whoever happens to be available. As the network grows, the match only gets sharper.

Costs, plainly

You only pay when she sells

€0 upfront

Commission only on a completed sale — agreed with you before anything is signed.

  • Nothing to list and nothing to get matched
  • Commission is a percentage, agreed up front, paid only on a completed sale
  • No subscription, no lock-in, no fee if she doesn't sell
Questions

What you probably want to know

What does it cost me?
Nothing to get matched and nothing to list. Your broker earns a commission only when your boat actually sells — a percentage agreed with you up front. If she doesn't sell, you owe nothing.
Which broker will I be matched with?
A specialist from our network chosen for your type of boat and where it's lying. As the network grows we match across more brokers and regions. Your broker introduces themselves when they reach out — usually within 24 hours.
How does matching actually work?
You tell us your boat and location; we route the lead to the broker in our network best suited to sell it. You're never spammed across multiple firms — it goes to one specialist.
What if my boat doesn't sell?
You're not out of pocket. There's no upfront fee and no penalty. Your broker will usually revisit pricing or presentation with you, or you can simply walk away.
Can I talk to the broker before committing?
Yes. Being matched starts a conversation, not a contract. The broker talks you through how they work, their commission and what your boat is likely to fetch before you agree to anything.
Who handles viewings and the sea trial?
Your broker does, on your behalf, wherever the boat is lying. You don't need to be there for every viewing — which matters if you're in a different country to your boat.
Is my boat too old, too small or too cheap?
Brokers handle a huge range, from modest project boats to superyachts. Tell us what you've got — if a broker in the network is the right fit, we'll match you; if not, we'll be honest about it.
What about VAT and paperwork?
Your broker manages the bill of sale, VAT status, registration and flag transfer as part of the sale. It's one of the biggest reasons sellers use a broker rather than going it alone.
How long does it take to sell?
It depends on the boat, the price and the season — but a specialist with the right buyer network usually moves a well-priced boat far faster than a private listing. Your broker gives you a realistic read.
Do you sell my contact info?
No. We share your details with one broker in our network so they can help sell your boat — that's the whole point of the match. We don't sell or list your data anywhere else.
What if I'm a broker, not a private seller?
We build brokerages their own branded subsite and inventory management, and bring them matched sellers. Head to our broker page to talk to the team.
