General Information

The purchase of a yacht represents a significant financial commitment and is not something to take on lightly. Aside from the obvious points – such as suitability for purpose, price and condition, and the mobile nature of yachts – extra care needs to be taken to ensure that the yacht is sold free of encumbrance with no nasty hidden surprises in respect of legal title, registration, VAT or CE-conformity. These added complications mean that many yachts sold privately frequently change hands quite innocently with incorrect title or questionable VAT. The job of a professional yacht broker is not just to match buyers to yachts, but to ensure that a buyer is fully aware of what they are buying and what all the paperwork actually means.

A professional yacht broker carries out all aspects of the conveyancing process for both buyer and seller from the beginning through to the completion of the purchase. To make a comparison with property sale, the professional yacht broker is fulfilling the task of sales agent and both conveyancing solicitors simultaneously. The key advantage for the seller and buyer is that with just one party controlling the purchase, time is not lost in communications between conveyancing solicitors and the level of communication given to both parties is significantly improved.

Grabau International is an ABYA-registered professional yacht broker working to the ABYA Code of Practice. This code requires that a broker is professionally qualified, carries professional indemnity insurances and holds all client monies in dedicated client accounts written in trust with their bank.

History of Magnitogorsk

Magnitnaya fortress was built on the right bank of the Yaik (the Ural today) in 1743. In 1759, iron ore mining began. After the suppression of the Pugachev peasant uprising, the Russian Empress Catherine II ordered to rename the Yaik into the Ural River “to bring to oblivion all that has happened.” In 1840, about 200 people lived in Magnitnaya village. In 1866, the population was more than 1,700 people.

In January 1929, the Soviet authorities decided to start construction of the Magnitogorsk Metallurgical Plant. The first train with builders from all over the USSR arrived to the station “Magnitogorskaya” on June 30, 1929. This date became the birthday of Magnitogorsk.

One of the main reasons for the construction of the metallurgic city was the presence of very rich iron ore deposits in the mountain Magnitnaya (hundreds of millions of tons of ore, iron content - about 60%). Rich deposits of iron ore, large rivers (the Ural and the Belaya), a possibility to construct roads in steppes which lead to Kuzbas coal deposits - these were the reasons for the founding of the city in the southern Urals.

More Historical Facts…

By December 1931, more than 40,000 people were working on the construction site. The metallurgical plant was built on the left (Asian) bank of the Ural River and the city grew on the right bank of the river, in Europe. In 1932, the first blast furnace began production of cast iron. In July 1933, the first steel was produced. In January 1936, the first tram line was opened. In 1939, the population of Magnitogorsk was 146,000 people.

In 1940, the city produced 8.7% of the total Soviet cast iron and 11.2% of steel. During the Second World War, several chemical and steel plants were evacuated to Magnitogorsk. In the 1950s, the city experienced rapid growth, and, by the end of the decade, the population of Magnitogorsk reached 311 thousand people.

Today, there are over 1,300 industrial plants in Magnitogorsk, the main one is Magnitogorsk Iron and Steel Works (“Magnitogorsk Metallurgical Kombinat” or “MMK”). Due to the large concentration of industrial enterprises Magnitogorsk is one of the most polluted cities in Russia. In 2003, Church of the Ascension of Christ was consecrated.

Magnitogorsk - Features

The motto of Magnitogorsk is “The place where Europe and Asia meet”.

In addition to natural resources and favorable geographical location, Magnitogorsk has a number of historical and archaeological monuments, sports tourism facilities, and a relatively well developed tourist infrastructure. Magnitogorsk International Airport offers regular flights to Moscow.

Magnitogorsk is often called “Magnitka”. In everyday speech this is also the name of Magnitogorsk Iron and Steel Works (MMK) and the city newspaper “Magnitogorsk Worker”. The city is called the “metallurgical capital” of Russia.

Magnitogorsk climate is continental (cold winters with little snow and dry warm summers). The average temperature in January is minus 14.1 degrees Celsius, in July - plus 19.2 degrees C.

Magnitogorsk International Airport, mountain skiing centers in Abzakovo and Bannoye Lake are located not on the territory of the Chelyabinsk region, but on the territory of Bashkortostan Republic.

Magnitogorsk is the fifth largest city in Russia (along with Tolyatti, Naberezhnye Chelny, Novokuznetsk), which doesn’t have the status of a regional administrative center. The western border of the territory of Magnitogorsk is an administrative border between the Chelyabinsk region and the Republic of Bashkortostan, the Urals and the Volga federal districts.

It is one of the twelve cities in the world located in two world parts. The Ural River flowing across Magnitogorsk divides it into two parts: the Left Bank and the Right Bank. The boundary between Asia and Europe goes along the Ural River.

During the World War II, turrets for tanks IS-2 and T-34 (85) were produced at Magnitogorsk Iron and Steel Works. According to statistics, every second Soviet tank and every third shell during the war were produced of Magnitogorsk steel.

Attractions of Magnitogorsk

The main places of interest of Magnitogorsk:

• Magnitogorsk Iron and Steel Works, one of the largest steel producers in the world. You can visit it as a tourist;
• The monument “Home Front to Front”, part of one triptych devoted to the victory in the World War II (other parts are “The Soviet War Memorial” in Berlin and the monument “The Motherland Calls” in Volgograd);

• Magnitogorsk ski centers, the largest and the most comfortable in Russia. The ski center “Metallurg-Magnitogorsk” is located about 40 km from the city, “Abzakovo” - 60 km.

Why should you use a yacht broker?

A yacht is an extremely valuable asset. Yacht values may often match or exceed those of houses and will usually be the most valuable asset that an owner holds outside of their home.

Yachts are also an asset that can move freely, both within and outside of the EU, and can originate from anywhere in the world.

This freedom of movement presents a multitude of risks in respect of legal title, registration, VAT and CE or UKCA-compliance (also referred to as RCD ‘Recreational Craft Directive’ or RCR  'Recreational Craft Regulations'), all of which any potential purchaser should be very wary of before handing over their money and sailing away from the dock.

Furthermore, establishing the correct value of a yacht in the present market conditions, effectively and proactively marketing it in the right places, dealing with the subsequent enquiries and then successfully taking an enquiry all the way through the delicate process of viewings, negotiations, creation of legal contracts, secure handling of client monies, assisting and liaising with the surveyor, correct transfer of title, administration of registration and any necessary dealings with marine finance (in respect of settling outstanding or arranging new marine mortgages) can and often will take a great deal of time, commitment, knowledge and experience.

As many yacht owners are very busy people who prefer to spend their leisure time enjoying the fruits of their labour, the services of a qualified, experienced and professional yacht broker can be extremely valuable.

A professional yacht broker should therefore be able to provide you with all of the following services:

• Accurate and up-to-date knowledge of the market conditions, along with the likely demand for your yacht and its value.
• The use of ABYA-approved listing agreements outlining the contractual agreement between client and broker.
• Personal inspection of your yacht where logistically possible.
• Preparation of comprehensive and accurate sales particulars and photography.
• Proactive marketing through a variety of media including direct marketing, website marketing, the use of listings websites and social media.
• Answering enquiries quickly and efficiently with a structured follow-up policy.
• Accompanying viewings where logistically possible.
• Encouraging acceptable offers and negotiating between both parties throughout the selling process.
• Using ABYA-approved legal contracts for the Sale & Purchase process.
• Holding any and all client monies in Client Accounts, designated as such, and identified at the Bank as such.
• Full insurance for the purposes of the business and the value of yachts being sold through the business.
• Providing knowledge, guidance and administration services in respect of legal title, yacht registration, VAT and RCD matters.
• Transfer of legal title.
• Prompt transfer of net sale proceeds and provision of statements and invoices to support the sale and the services of the broker.
• Working directly with marine finance houses in identifying the presence of, settling, or securing a marine mortgage.
• Liaising directly with insurers to assist purchasers with securing cover for their new purchases.
• Close working relationships with third-party businesses within the industry to cover all the additional logistics involved in the sale of a yacht. This can include refit/repair, valeting, delivery, marina berthing, tuition and charter.

(This list is only a guide and is not exhaustive of the services you should expect)

Why should you use Grabau International?

In addition to all these services that a professional yacht broker should deliver, Grabau International can provide the following:

• We focus specifically on the market for brokerage and new, high-quality, blue water and performance-orientated cruising sailing yachts and motor yachts.
• With over 100 years of combined experience in this particular sector of the market, we can offer market-leading experience and knowledge of the market.
• We offer a network of offices covering all of Europe and worldwide with brokers based on the ground in Lymington, London, Scotland, Sweden, Finland, Italy, Palma de Mallorca, Barcelona, Marbella and Madeira.
• Alex Grabau of Grabau International has been an ABYA member for over 20 years, carries Full Broker Member status within the association, was awarded one of the first ABYA/BMF ‘Boat Sales Qualification’ awards and is also an extremely active member of the ABYA committee and past member of the YBDSA Council and BMF’s BRBA committee.
• Our professional brokerage services are carried out in accordance with the ABYA Code of Practice, using ABYA-approved contracts and with all client monies held in dedicated client accounts (in Sterling, Euros or Dollars) written in trust at Natwest Bank.
• We work closely with a network of established independent brokerage houses worldwide to co-broker listings thereby ensuring the widest possible market exposure for all of our listings.

• Yacthworld.com
• Botektekoop.nl
• Inautia.com & Coasdebarcos.com
• Scanboat.com
• Sailing-Boats-For-Sale.com
• Seahorsemagazine.com
• You can also find us in print in such publications as Yachting World Magazine, Motorboat & Yachting Magazine, Seahorse Magazine and various international publications.
• While we offer new yachts for sale, we do so as an appointed sales agent acting on behalf of an importer or manufacturer, rather than acting as a conventional dealer. We do not stock boats. In effect, the new yacht sales services offered by us are similar to that of a traditional yacht broker and as such our new yacht offerings are viewed in exactly the same manner as brokerage listings. This, in turn, allows us to concentrate on matching the right yacht to the right buyer.

How much will my boat sell for and how quickly will it be sold?

Quite possibly the two most common questions put to any professional yacht broker by their client. The truthful reply to these two questions is that there is no definite answer.

The value of a yacht is ultimately dictated by the market and the demand for the yacht in the market is affected by both internal and external factors.

Internal factors include asking price, condition, location and marketing reach, so consideration should be given to ensuring that the yacht is priced competitively, is well-presented with any easily-resolved defects attended to and that the location does not present a barrier to a purchaser.

External factors include economic strength, political stability, currency exchange rates, changing social trends and, of course, the time of year. A broker cannot influence these factors, but observing them and advising the client on how best to accommodate them is most definitely part of the professional yacht broker’s job.

The key to the successful sale of a yacht is the working relationship between professional yacht broker and their client. With the benefit of a willing and cooperative client, a professional yacht broker can ensure that the listing remains competitive within the market so as to ensure the best possible chance of securing a quick and efficient sale at the best possible price.

Please note – A reality of yachting is that the parts of the world where owners choose to keep and enjoy their yachts can often be different to where buyers might prefer to purchase them. We are happy to work with yachts in any location and in any state of commission, but where a seller is open to moving the yacht to ensure the best possible market exposure, we are happy to advise and assist with making the necessary arrangements.

What do we charge?

We offer competitive brokerage rates* for yachts located in the UK, Europe and further afield. Please contact us for a quotation.

For sellers who are happy to look after the marketing aspect and wish for a professional yacht broker to look after everything else once a buyer is found, we also offer a fully-insured unique and bespoke dedicated conveyancing service at a reduced commission rate**.

* The sale of yachts owned or registered outside of UK mainland ship’s registry and requiring additional official translations, notary-signed documentation or apostilled documentation may necessitate further charges to specifically cover these additional administration costs.

** A minimum charge of £1,500.00+VAT to this service.
