Brokerage: We offer a full brokerage service, we cannot permit other brokers to sell from our premises. If we see your boat advertised with another broker or commercial operation we will terminate your contract and charge berthing at the daily rate until the vessel leaves our premises. If you choose not to use our brokerage to sell the vessel and the vessel is sold within the marina premises, we shall make a charge of 1% of the selling price + VAT as yard commission. Please note that berthing is not transferable.
