What boats and barcos mediterraneos sl does

Boats & Barcos Mediterraneos S.L.U is a Torrevieja, Spain-based yacht and motor boat brokerage founded in 2009, operating a multi-divisional marine services platform that targets high-net-worth private yacht owners, charter guests, and aspiring boaters. The company brokers the purchase and sale of new and used vessels — superyachts, motor boats, sailing yachts, power catamarans, and sport boats — sourced through a self-claimed database of 200+ boats at all times and listed across top online marketplaces for global visibility. It serves the Spanish Mediterranean (Costa Blanca, Costa Brava, Balearic Islands) and extends reach into Croatia, Malta, Turkey, Gibraltar, and Morocco, with insurance limited to EU and UK.

Revenue is generated across multiple streams: brokerage commissions on vessel transactions, per-booking charter fees (The Med Charter), professional-services fees for surveying (Mediterranean Yacht Surveys Spain / MYSS), course fees for IYT-approved maritime training (Costa Blanca Sea School), maintenance and Rokoat ceramic-coating contracts, and insurance referral commissions through a preferred partner. Authorized dealer/reseller relationships with premium brands — Ferretti, Pershing, Riva, Galeon, Princess, Monterey, Beneteau, Williams Jet Tender, Seabob, Fliteboard — underpin the new-boat sales channel, while partnerships with IYT and YDSA provide internationally recognised training and surveying credentials.

No proprietary technology platform is disclosed; operations run on a standard CMS website (boats-barcos.com) with payments processed via Redsys and PayPal under GDPR-compliant processes. The company is a privately held Spanish S.L.U incorporated in Alicante, appears founder/owner-operated based on a single office and personal contact email ([email protected]), and discloses no funding rounds, institutional investors, or financial figures. Combined marine expertise across the team is stated as 100+ years, though headcount itself is not disclosed.

• Click&Boat: Pan-European peer-to-peer boat rental platform with strong Mediterranean presence offering motor boat, sailboat and yacht charters. Competes with The Med Charter in the same geography and customer segments.
• Nautal: Spanish-based boat rental marketplace operating across the Mediterranean. Closely comparable to B&B's The Med Charter division on geography, fleet type and target tourist customer.
• GetMyBoat: Global boat and yacht rental marketplace with a Mediterranean presence. Competes with B&B for both brokerage listings and charter bookings from international customers.

Broad incumbents

• Burgess: Global superyacht broker and charter house with Mediterranean HQ. Larger, broader incumbent serving ultra-high-net-worth yacht buyers; comparable on yacht sales intermediation and luxury crewed charter.
• Camper & Nicholsons: Established international yacht brokerage and charter firm with significant Mediterranean presence. Overlaps with B&B on yacht sales, charter management and luxury HNW client service.
• Fraser Yachts: World-leading superyacht broker with global offices including the Mediterranean. Comparable on yacht sales intermediation, charter management and HNW client handling, but at materially larger scale.
• Northrop & Johnson: International yacht brokerage and charter firm with Mediterranean footprint. Overlaps with B&B in yacht sales, charter and luxury-client servicing at the higher end of the market.
• International Yacht Company (IYC): Global yacht management, sales and charter company. Comparable to B&B's combination of brokerage, charter management and yacht services for HNW Mediterranean clients.

Others
