Maritime Legal Services & International Yacht Support

​

We provide specialised Spanish maritime legal advice to yacht owners, captains, yacht managers, brokers, charter companies, shipyards and other maritime professionals, covering the full range of legal and regulatory matters arising from the ownership, purchase, sale, operation, management, chartering and maintenance of yachts and vessels in Spain and internationally.

​

Our practice covers both Spanish-flagged and internationally flagged vessels, with particular experience in the Mediterranean and the Spanish yachting sector. We assist clients with yacht purchases and sales, legal due diligence, ownership and title matters, yacht surveys and pre-purchase inspections, registration and flag-related procedures, charter and commercial operations, Spanish tax and customs matters, maritime and port regulations, contracts, crew and employment matters, insurance and claims, refit and shipyard agreements, maritime disputes and representation before Spanish maritime, port and governmental authorities.

​

For internationally flagged vessels, we provide legal advice on matters falling within Spanish law and Spanish jurisdiction and act as the client's local legal partner in Spain. This can include regulatory compliance while operating in Spanish waters, port and marina matters, charter operations, transactions taking place in Spain, contractual relationships with Spanish parties, yacht purchases and sales, surveys, refit and maintenance projects, crew matters and disputes connected with Spain.

​

Where a matter involves the specific legislation or regulatory requirements of another flag state or foreign jurisdiction, we coordinate with the relevant maritime authority, registry or specialist legal counsel in that jurisdiction. This enables us to provide seamless cross-border support while ensuring that each aspect of the matter is addressed by the appropriate legal professionals.

With a strong understanding of the Spanish and Mediterranean yachting environment, our objective is to provide practical, commercially focused legal support that allows yacht owners and maritime businesses to navigate the legal, regulatory and operational aspects of their activities with confidence.
