Our Global Reach and Exclusive Buyer Network
Thanks to our deeply established presence across Europe, including a strategic foothold in the Mediterranean yachting hub of Antibes, 212 Yachts delivers global reach that most private sellers simply cannot match.
Antibes, especially the marina area around Port Vauban, remains one of the world’s foremost superyacht marketplaces. It’s a crossroads for ultra-high-net-worth individuals, seasoned yacht owners and leading industry brokers.
By embedding ourselves in this ecosystem and tapping into a curated, international buyer network, we ensure your listing reaches the right eyes, in the right places, with discretion and efficiency.

Our network also extends beyond the Riviera. We leverage long-standing relationships with brokers, buyers, shipyards, and maritime professionals across Europe, North America, and Asia, giving you access to a truly global pool of qualified buyers.
We also provide off-market and pre-qualified buyer access, going beyond public listings to discreet, private opportunities that suit superyacht sales. This global footprint, combined with on-the-ground presence in Europe’s top yachting areas, helps us seamlessly navigate regional compliance, regulations, and transaction logistics.
To reach the world’s most qualified buyers, let us put your yacht on the global map.

Yacht Sales Documentation – What You Need to Prepare
Preparing the right documentation early will help ensure a smooth, compliant yacht sale.
Serious buyers, especially those purchasing luxury yachts or superyachts, expect full transparency and verified records before progressing to offers, surveys, or sea trials. Having these documents ready speeds up the transaction while also strengthening buyer confidence and protecting you during negotiations.
Typically, sellers will need proof of ownership, VAT status, registration certificates, up-to-date maintenance logs, refit history, class and flag documentation (if applicable), and all manuals, warranties, and safety certificates.
For larger yachts, having compliance records such as ISM/ISPS documentation, crew lists, and recent survey reports prepared in advance can help avoid last-minute issues. Our expert yacht sales brokers will guide you through each requirement and ensure every document is accurate and aligned with EU and international sales standards.

Our Bespoke Marketing and Presentation
To sell a yacht effectively, the presentation needs to match the vessel itself. That’s why, at 212 Yachts, we curate high-end marketing materials designed specifically for luxury yacht sales.
This includes cinematic photography, professionally edited videos, drone footage, and immersive 360° virtual tours. These assets highlight craftsmanship, technical features, and onboard lifestyle, giving buyers an immediate sense of the yacht’s character before they ever step aboard.
Your yacht is then promoted through a carefully targeted international strategy. This includes listing on global portals, direct outreach to our qualified buyer network, targeted email campaigns, and broker-to-broker promotion across Europe, Asia, and the US.
By combining high-class visuals with worldwide exposure, we ensure your yacht stands out in a competitive luxury market and reaches serious buyers quickly and strategically.
