Selling a boat in Assos Marina
Selling a boat at Assos Marina through us leaves you with nothing to do. We qualify the enquiries, run the viewings and sea trials, organise any inspection the survey calls for, and handle the contract, the legal side and the transfer of ownership, from offer to handover.
Every valuation starts with a thorough market study. We have access to sales data, and for each boat we weigh its age, the prices achieved for comparable boats, its options, the condition, the service history and the area. There is no charge for the valuation, so you begin from a figure grounded in real sales.
The value of a boat is set by its condition, its model, its age and its equipment, and the area matters as well. Some boats sell better in America than in Greece, and the other way round, and a boat at Assos Marina is judged on that basis, which is why the area is part of every valuation we give.
The market matters too. When the economy is healthy, boats sell well, and when credit is easy to find, buyers can finance them; when it dries up, fewer can. So we pair the valuation with patience and extensive publicity on over 20 international platforms, on social media and on our own website, which attracts many buyers. Usually, that finds the right buyer, and our commission is just 5%.

The paperwork is more complicated than most owners expect, particularly when the boat changes flag or has to be re-registered. Insurance can be a problem, and someone has to check that the boat has no finance outstanding on it.
Then there is finding a serious buyer: private sellers often meet around 20 tyre-kickers and time-wasters before they give up. With so much scamming about today, you need a representative managing the payment, and dealing with extremely disagreeable buyers can be as unpleasant as selling a second-hand car.
A broker will get a better price than you will, because it is his job. For 5% you are probably ahead anyway, and you do no work. At European Yacht Brokers, we speak six languages, advertise on over 20 international platforms including YachtWorld, and organise the contract, the legal side and the transfer of ownership for owners at Assos Marina.
You give us a mandate to sell your boat. We don’t always ask for exclusivity; we decide case by case. You can terminate the contract at any time.* *If a buyer we introduced during the mandate buys the boat later, we are still entitled to our commission.
A careful photo shoot, with the boat clean, tidy and shot in favourable light, is the first filter a buyer applies. Photos of the exterior, interior, deck, engine room and technical details, supplemented where useful by a short video, present the boat fully and consistently with the asking price, cutting down on pointless viewings.
The specification sheet gathers verified data: builder, model, year, dimensions, engines, equipment and work carried out. On this basis the listing is published on the main boating portals and shared with the broker network and professional contacts, to reach qualified buyers at home and abroad.
Before publication it helps to gather the ownership documents, the registration papers, evidence of VAT status where relevant, engine manuals, maintenance invoices and the inventory of equipment. Well-ordered paperwork speeds up the buyer’s checks and makes the negotiation more solid.
Every enquiry is checked before anyone sets foot on your boat. We confirm who the buyer is, whether the buyer is serious and what the buyer wants, so the time-wasters never reach your berth at Assos Marina. Because we advertise on over 20 international platforms and answer in six languages, enquiries come from buyers in many countries, and every one of them is checked the same way.
We organise the viewings and the sea trial, so you do not need to show anyone round yourself. The sea trial is at the buyer’s expense, with a professional, insured captain, or you can be present yourself. That isn’t always advisable, because sellers are attached to their boats and buyers can use a sea trial to try to get the price down, but it is your decision.
A good viewing starts with a clean boat, systems ready to demonstrate, the records to hand, access agreed and an honest account of its condition. We tell you when a viewing is booked, so the boat is ready when the buyer arrives.
You give us a mandate to sell your boat. When we have a suitable offer, we put it to you. If you accept, we go ahead; if you don’t, we ask the buyer for a counter-offer, and the decision at each step is yours.
Once you accept an offer, we ask the buyer for a 10% deposit, paid into an escrow account. He can then arrange a survey and have the boat lifted out of the water at Assos Marina, all at his own expense. If the survey is good, we go ahead with a sea trial, also at his expense, with a professional, insured captain, or with you on board if you prefer.
We then wait up to 15 working days for the survey report. If there is nothing structurally wrong with the boat, the sale goes ahead. If something is broken, it is fixed at the seller’s expense, and we organise the inspection and the solution. We also help you organise lifting the boat out of the water and give you a list of surveyors we are satisfied with, so the survey does not slow the sale down.
We organise the contract, the legal side and the transfer of ownership for your sale at Assos Marina, so you have nothing to do. The 10% deposit is paid into an escrow account, and the balance goes straight to the seller.
Changing flag or re-registering a boat makes the paperwork complicated, and insurance can be a problem. We check too that the boat has no finance outstanding on it.
With so much scamming around today, you want a representative handling the payment, not you alone. That is part of our work: we organise the contract, we deal with the legal side, and we see the transfer of ownership through, so the sale at Assos Marina is finished properly. For our 5% commission you are probably ahead anyway, and you do no work.

Overall, the location presents a mix of calm weather opportunities and occasional exposure to specific swells.

Assos is a coastal village located on the northwest coast of Kefalonia. The village features a harbour and retains a traditional layout along the shoreline. It is positioned close to rocky terrain that shapes the surrounding coastline. Amenities in Assos include local shops and tavernas situated along the waterfront. Visitors can also explore the remains of a Venetian castle on the headland above the village.
Assos is a small village on Kefallonia Island situated beneath a Venetian fortress constructed at the end of the sixteenth century. The fortress remains a prominent feature of the village, reflecting Kefallonia’s historical links with Venetian rule. This connection contributes to the island’s cultural character and offers insight into its past fortifications and settlements.
Visitors to Assos Marina can enjoy a walk along the fortress and explore the colourful waterfront. There are several local beaches to visit nearby, with Myrtos beach also within easy reach. These attractions provide a variety of options for leisure within the vicinity of the marina.
Near Assos Marina, tavernas, small food shops and water are available. For fuel, pharmacies, ATMs and major repairs, yachtsmen must visit the larger towns on Kefalonia. These towns provide essential services that are not present at the marina itself. The marina offers adequate basic provisions but relies on nearby Kefalonian towns for more significant needs.
Seasonal village celebrations take place throughout Kefallonia Island, reflecting local customs and traditions. However, there are no recurring events confirmed within the marina itself. Visitors and residents may find these festivities occurring at various times of the year, though the timing and nature of such events can vary. These celebrations contribute to the cultural calendar of the island without being tied to the marina facilities. This pattern of seasonal observance offers a glimpse into the rhythms of local life beyond the marina surroundings.
Assos Marina is accessible via Kefalonia International Airport Anna Pollatou (EFL), which serves regional and national flights. Car hire is available from Avis Budget, Enterprise and Hertz Thrifty at the airport for onward travel to the marina.
