Selling a boat in Ornos Marina
Selling at Ornos Marina with 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 take care of the contract, the legal side and the transfer of ownership, from 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, the condition, the service history and where it lies. There is no charge for the valuation, so you start from a figure grounded in real sales.
Condition, model, age and equipment set the value of a boat, and the area matters as well. Some boats sell better in America than in Greece, and the other way round, and a boat at Ornos 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 strong, 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 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%.

The hardest part of selling a boat is finding a serious buyer. Owners who sell privately often meet about 20 tyre-kickers before they throw in the towel and turn to a broker. It can also be an unpleasant experience: much like selling a second-hand car, you deal with buyers who can be extremely disagreeable.
Then comes the money. With so much scamming around today, you want a representative handling the payment, not you alone. The paperwork is complicated too, 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 will also get a better price than you will, and that is his job. For our 5% commission you are very likely ahead anyway, and you do no work. Here 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 Ornos Marina.
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.
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 Ornos 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 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 try to get the price down, but it is your decision.
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 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 Ornos 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 take care of the contract, the legal side and the transfer of ownership for your sale at Ornos 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 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 Ornos Marina is finished properly. For our 5% commission you are very likely ahead anyway, and you do no work.
Seller's checklist
Sell my boat Ornos Marina with European Yacht Brokers, acting for owners here from our Athens head office.
The bay is sheltered from much northerly swell, offering calmer conditions in those circumstances. However, it is subject to strong meltemi gusts which can affect the area significantly. During southerly weather, the bay becomes exposed, leading to potentially rougher sea conditions and greater wind impact. These variations influence the local weather patterns and sailing environment consistently.
From Ornos Marina, yachts can cruise to Delos, Rinia, Paros, Naxos and other nearby Mykonos anchorages when conditions are suitable. Sailings depend heavily on weather and sea state, with the best times to sail linked to local climate patterns. Such voyages require careful planning to navigate safely between these destinations. This area offers several options for short passages or longer day trips based on prevailing conditions.
Boats for sale Ornos 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.
Ornos is a south-Mykonos beach settlement built around a broad bay commonly used by small craft, excursion boats and anchored yachts. The bay’s sheltered waters have long attracted visitors arriving by sea, maintaining its role as a practical harbour rather than a commercial port. While development in the area has adapted over time, Ornos retains a connection to its maritime origins through continued boat activity within the bay.
Ornos Marina offers access to Ornos beach and the nearby area of Agios Ioannis. Visitors can enjoy coastal walks or take excursions to Mykonos Town, Delos and Rinia. These activities represent the principal attractions in the area around the marina.
Near Ornos Marina, the resort provides supermarkets, pharmacies, ATMs, restaurants and water-sports businesses. There is no managed marina, haul-out yard or confirmed yacht-service facility available in the immediate area. This means supplies and some services are accessible locally, though technical or maintenance support for yachts may require travel further afield.
Mykonos offers an island-wide cultural programme that is accessible to residents and visitors throughout the year. However, no specific events have been confirmed at the Ornos marina within this programme. Those interested in annual activities should consider the broader schedule available across the island rather than expecting local events at Ornos. The focus remains on the diverse cultural offerings spread around Mykonos rather than concentrated in one location.
