Selling a boat in Leros Marina
When the survey on your boat at Leros Marina turns up a problem, we arrange the inspection and the solution, so the sale doesn’t stall. Before that, we check every buyer and organise the viewings and sea trials. At the end, we handle the contract, the legal side and the transfer of ownership. As the seller, you have nothing to do.
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, its condition, the service record and the area. The valuation is free, 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 Leros 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 combine the valuation with patience and extensive publicity on over 20 international platforms, on social media and on our own website, which draws many buyers. In most cases, that finds the right buyer, and our commission is just 5%.

Offer, documents and handover.
Taking payment for a boat is where private sellers are most exposed. With so much scamming about today, you need a representative handling the payment. Finding a serious buyer is just as hard: owners who sell privately often 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 too, particularly if the boat changes flag or has to be re-registered. Insurance can be a problem, and someone has to make sure that the boat has no finance outstanding on it.
A broker will get a better price than you will, and that is his job. For 5% you are very likely ahead anyway, and you do no work. At European Yacht Brokers, we speak six languages, list on over 20 international platforms including YachtWorld, and organise the contract, the legal side and the transfer of ownership for owners at Leros Marina.
You give us a mandate to sell your boat. Exclusivity is not always required, and we decide it case by case. The contract can be terminated 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.
We check every enquiry before anyone sets foot on your boat. 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 Leros 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 qualified the same way.
We organise the viewings and the sea trial, so you don’t have 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. It isn’t always advisable, because sellers are attached to their boats and buyers can use a sea trial to push the price down, but the decision is yours.
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 agree each viewing with you, so the boat is ready when the buyer arrives.
You give us a mandate to sell your boat. We put every suitable offer to you. If you accept it, we go ahead; if not, 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 Leros 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 Leros Marina, so you do nothing. 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 check too that the boat has no finance outstanding on it.
With so much scamming around today, you need 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 Leros Marina is finished properly. For our 5% commission you are probably ahead anyway, and you do no work.

The enclosed bay provides strong all-round shelter for vessels moored within the marina. However, powerful local gusts can occur, accompanied by thunderstorms which may affect conditions unexpectedly. These factors should be taken into account when planning passages or mooring arrangements. Overall, the bay offers substantial protection despite the occasional weather disturbances.
A boat based at Leros Marina can cruise to Kalymnos, Patmos, Lipsi, Kos, Arkoi and the Turkish coast. These destinations provide a range of nearby options for day trips or longer voyages. Sailing conditions vary throughout the year and should be planned according to seasonal weather patterns. The variety of accessible locations offers diverse routes along this part of the Aegean Sea.
Boats for sale Leros Marina 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.
Leros Marina is close to notable points of interest including the War Museum and Platanos Castle, offering insight into the island’s history. Italian architecture can be observed along the Lakki waterfront, which provides a distinctive character to the area. Visitors may also take the opportunity to explore the island beaches, contributing to the variety of experiences available nearby.
Leros Marina offers wet berths alongside extensive dry storage, haul-out and technical services for yachts. Fuel, provisions, pharmacies and ATMs are available in Lakki, providing practical support for vessels and their crews. These facilities contribute to maintaining and supplying boats efficiently during their stay or transit.
Leros hosts a range of summer cultural events alongside sailing activities. However, there is no confirmation of a single fixed marina regatta taking place during the season. The island’s calendar includes various gatherings and events linked to nautical interests. This activity contributes to the local maritime atmosphere throughout the summer months.
