Buying in Brazil
- VAT and tax
- Brazil has no single national VAT: imports bear federal import duty, IPI and PIS/COFINS plus the state ICMS, each calculated on a base that includes earlier taxes, and ICMS commonly runs at 17% to 19% as at September 2026. Boats are excluded from travellers' baggage allowances, so a yacht brought in to stay is a formal import. A foreign tourist's pleasure yacht can enter under temporary admission for the owner's permitted stay, extendable to two years in total in some cases. Read our VAT and tax guide
- Flag and registration
- Brazilian yachts are entered with the Navy's Capitania dos Portos where the owner is domiciled or the yacht operates, and yachts over 100 gross tonnage must also have their ownership registered with the Tribunal Maritimo. Foreign tourists' yachts keep their own flag under temporary admission; if the owner leaves Brazil and the stay is extended, the yacht may be kept at a notified berth but not used for any activity.
- Berths
- Rio de Janeiro and the Costa Verde hold most large-yacht berths. Marina da Gloria in Rio has 220 wet berths for yachts up to 80 metres. On the Angra dos Reis coast, Bracuhy has 320 wet berths up to 50 metres, Verolme 80 up to 40 metres and Piratas 120 up to 35 metres, and the marina at Paraty has 75 wet berths up to 50 metres.
- Refit and survey
- Brazilian builders produce motor yachts up to about 27 metres: Azimut Yachts Brasil offers a 27M, Schaefer Yachts of Florianopolis a 26M, and Intermarine of Osasco, Sao Paulo, a 25M, having built up to 95 feet. The Verolme complex in Angra dos Reis is a nautical industrial hub with more than 100 marine businesses and a travel lift for boats up to 100 tonnes.
- When to view
- Cruising is most settled from January to April, when the north-east trade winds are stable, and the Costa Verde around Angra dos Reis and Paraty is used all year. The Rio Boat Show was held at Marina da Gloria from 11 to 19 April 2026, and the Itajai Boat Show at Marina de Itajai from 2 to 5 July 2026.

Questions buyers ask
How does buying a yacht through Boatcrowd work?
You tell us which yacht interests you through the enquiry form on her listing. We confirm she is still available at the price shown, collect the documents the seller holds, and arrange a viewing wherever she is lying. From there the usual sequence is an offer subject to survey and sea trial, a deposit held in a client account, the survey and trial themselves, and then closing and registration. The Boatcrowd team coordinates each step and stays with you through it.
What does the VAT status on a listing mean?
VAT paid means European Union value added tax has been settled on the yacht and she can be used privately in EU waters without a further liability arising from that. VAT unpaid means it has not been settled, which suits a buyer who will keep the yacht outside the EU or import her under an arrangement of their own. The difference is a significant part of the asking price, so it is worth establishing before an offer is made. Where the seller has given us the status, it is printed on the listing.
Why do some listings say Price on Request?
Because the seller has chosen not to publish a figure. It is common at the top of the market and on yachts that have only just come available, and it says nothing about where the price sits in either direction. Send an enquiry from the listing and the Boatcrowd team will come back to you with the number and with what it includes.
Do I need a survey and a sea trial?
On any yacht that has been in the water, yes. A survey establishes the condition of the hull, the machinery and the systems, and a sea trial shows how she actually behaves at operating speed and at anchor. Offers are normally made subject to both, so the findings can be discussed before anything is final. On a yacht in build the equivalent is the yard's own sequence of inspections and the handover trials at the end of it.
