Selling a boat in Batsi
Selling a boat at Batsi through us leaves you with nothing to do. We screen the enquiries, run the viewings and sea trials, arrange any inspection the survey calls for, and handle the contract, the legal side and the transfer of ownership, from first offer to handover.
Every valuation starts with a detailed market study. We have access to sales data, and for each boat we weigh the age, the prices obtained for similar boats, the options fitted, its condition, the service record and where it lies. The valuation is free, so you start 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 vice versa, and a boat at Batsi 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 strong, 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 wide publicity on over 20 international platforms, on social media and on our own website, which draws many buyers. Usually, that finds the right buyer, and our commission is just 5%.

Handing over a boat and taking the money is where private sellers are most exposed. With so much scamming around today, you need a representative handling the payment. Finding a serious buyer is just as hard: owners who sell privately usually meet around 20 tyre-kickers and time-wasters before they give up and call a broker.
It can be an unpleasant experience, like selling a second-hand car, with buyers who can be extremely disagreeable. The paperwork is complicated as well, especially if 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.
A broker gets a better price than you will, because it is his job. For 5% you are very likely 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 Batsi.
You give us a mandate to sell your boat. Exclusivity is not always required, and we decide it 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.
The sea trial comes after the viewing, and it is at the buyer’s expense. He pays for a professional, insured captain, or you are welcome to come and be present. It isn’t always advisable: sellers are attached to their boats, and buyers can use a sea trial to push the price down. It is your decision.
But no one reaches a sea trial without being checked first. We establish who the buyer is, whether the buyer is serious and what the buyer wants, so the tyre-kickers never reach your berth at Batsi. With over 20 international platforms and six languages behind your listing, the enquiries are many, and we arrange the viewings so you do not have to show anyone round.
Before a viewing, the boat should be clean, with its systems ready to demonstrate, the records to hand, access agreed and its condition described honestly. We agree each viewing with you, 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 Batsi, 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 Batsi, so you have nothing to do. The 10% deposit is paid into an escrow account, and the balance goes straight to the seller.
The paperwork can be complicated, especially if the boat changes flag or has to be re-registered, and insurance can be a problem. We also check 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 arrange the contract, we deal with the legal side, and we see the transfer of ownership through, so the sale at Batsi is finished properly. For our 5% commission you are probably ahead anyway, and you do no work.
Seller's checklist
Sell my boat Batsi with European Yacht Brokers, acting for owners here from our Athens head office.
The bay provides useful shelter, although meltemi gusts and swell can enter depending on the wind direction. This can affect sea conditions, particularly at times when the wind shifts. While generally sheltered, the area is subject to these variable elements, which should be considered when planning mooring or navigation.
A boat based at Batsi can cruise to Gavrio, Kea, Tinos, Syros and other Andros anchorages. These destinations offer a range of anchoring options suitable for various voyages. The sailing conditions from Batsi accommodate travel to these locations, allowing for flexible planning. The best times to sail are aligned with usual seasonal patterns affecting this area. Navigating to these anchorages involves straightforward routes commonly employed by yachts from this base.
Boats for sale Batsi are published in the European Yacht Brokers archive as local brokers add and verify them. If you are considering selling, your boat can be presented to buyers searching in this area and in nearby ports: give the model, year and condition for a first valuation.
Andros Island’s west coast features Batsi, a former fishing village that has developed into a principal visitor centre. Despite this transition, it retains its amphitheatrical harbour setting, reflecting the island’s maritime character and history.
Batsi beach and Agia Marina are principal attractions in the area, complemented by nearby coves suitable for exploration. Coastal walks provide opportunities to enjoy the surrounding landscape, while excursions to Chora and inland villages offer additional experiences. These features make the area appealing for visitors aboard yachts seeking accessible onshore activities.
The village offers supermarkets, pharmacies, ATMs, water and electricity, along with restaurants and seasonal fuel arrangements. Basic supplies and refreshments can be obtained locally, but major repairs require travel to Gavrio or other locations. This limits the scope of on-site servicing for larger maintenance needs.
Seasonal cultural and religious events take place on Andros Island throughout the year. However, there is no confirmed recurring marina regatta held on the island. These occasions reflect the local traditions observed by the inhabitants and provide insight into their way of life during their respective seasons.
