Selling a boat in Vourkari Harbour
From the first enquiry to the final handover, European Yacht Brokers manage the sale of your boat at Vourkari Harbour in Vourkari Kea. We check every buyer, organise the viewings and sea trials, arrange any inspection after the survey, and handle the contract, the legal side and the transfer of ownership. You have nothing to do.
Every valuation starts with a detailed market study. We have access to sales data, and for each boat we weigh its age, the prices obtained for comparable boats, its options, its condition, the service history and where it lies. 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 vice versa, and a boat at Vourkari Harbour 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 attracts many buyers. Usually, that finds the right buyer, and our commission is just 5%.

Offer, documents and handover.
The paperwork is more complicated than most owners expect, especially 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 comes finding a serious buyer: private sellers usually meet around 20 tyre-kickers and time-wasters before they call a broker. With so much scamming about today, you want a representative handling the payment, and dealing with extremely disagreeable buyers can be as unpleasant as selling a second-hand car.
A broker gets a better price than you will, because it is his job. For our 5% commission you are probably ahead anyway, and you do no work. Here 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 Vourkari Harbour.
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 tyre-kickers never reach your berth at Vourkari Harbour. 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 come along yourself. It 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 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 Vourkari Harbour, 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 take care of the contract, the legal side and the transfer of ownership for your sale at Vourkari Harbour, 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 about 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 Vourkari Harbour is finished properly. For our 5% commission you are very likely ahead anyway, and you do no work.
Seller's checklist

The bay provides useful shelter, although strong meltemi gusts can affect the harbour. During the summer months, the moorings become crowded, which also impacts conditions within the harbour. These factors contribute to variable weather and sea conditions for boats kept at this location.
A boat based at Vourkari Harbour can access Kythnos, Syros, Andros, Lavrio and other Kea anchorages. These locations are within suitable cruising distance for a range of voyages. Sailing in this area is best undertaken during the established sailing season when conditions are favourable for navigation along these routes.
Boats for sale Vourkari Harbour 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.
Vourkari is a small harbour village situated within Kea’s large Agios Nikolaos Bay, known historically for its strong ties to fishing. The village has also been associated with yacht cruising, reflecting its maritime heritage. Its location and longstanding connection to the sea have shaped the character of this quiet harbour settlement.
The waterfront offers a range of sights, including the prehistoric site of Agia Irini and Otzias beach. Nearby, the traditional settlement of Ioulida adds further interest to the area. The Lion of Kea is another principal attraction that visitors can explore while moored in the harbour.
Vourkari offers a selection of restaurants and seasonal shops, while nearby Korissia provides fuel, pharmacies, ATMs and ferry connections. For more extensive technical support, major repairs can be arranged at Lavrio. These facilities offer a range of supplies and services suitable for yacht operators in the area.
Seasonal cultural and sailing events take place in Vourkari Kea throughout the year, though no fixed marina regatta has been confirmed to date. These occasions contribute to the local maritime calendar, attracting participation from visitors and residents alike. While the schedule may vary, the area remains engaged with a range of activities tied to both sailing and cultural interests.
