Which yacht broker do you need at Assos Marina?
Yacht brokers work in three different ways. For an owner who sells, the broker lists, advertises and presents offers. On the buying side, the broker searches, compares and negotiates on the buyer’s behalf. And a full-service broker can take charge of the transaction from start to finish, representing both parties only where this is agreed in writing and explained openly. Which one suits you at Assos Marina depends on your plans.
Why choose us? We know this market. Our valuations draw on sales data for boats worldwide over the past three years, we advertise on over 20 international platforms, including YachtWorld, our brokers speak six languages, and we charge just 5% commission. At Assos Marina a local broker can visit your boat quickly, backed by our Athens head office. Request a valuation at no charge and tell us which service you want.
Selling a yacht kept at Assos Marina? Our seller’s broker takes the work off you: a valuation free of charge, photographs and particulars, advertising on over 20 international platforms, the enquiries and the viewings. The agreement says what is included, how long it lasts and what commission is payable (just 5%), so there are no surprises.
Bringing a yacht to market is the listing broker’s job, and the owner makes the appointment. The broker may help set the asking price, collect specifications and photographs, prepare the listing, advertise the yacht, respond to enquiries and arrange viewings. Check that the listing agreement explains whether it is exclusive or open, how long it runs, what commission applies and which services are included.
Sellers who want only a listing and marketing service can have one. The broker advertises the yacht and passes an offer to the owner but takes no responsibility for negotiation or for managing the rest of the transaction. That is a valid, defined service, yet it should not be assumed to apply to every seller’s broker, because yacht sale guidance usually includes the work that follows an offer: Horizon Yachts International covers the deposit, survey and sea-trial stages, and YachtWorld explains that a broker may arrange a survey and sea trial.
Be clear, before signing, about what the broker takes on. Negotiating price and conditions, preparing or explaining paperwork, tracking deadlines and contingencies, arranging survey and sea-trial access, coordinating closing, payment and transfer documents: each is either included or it is not, and any that are excluded may call for separate professional help.
The listing broker acts for the seller. If you are a buyer contacting that broker directly, ask whom the broker represents and whether you should have your own representative. Another broker can bring a buyer through a co-brokerage arrangement, in which firms may share commission under their agreement, and the seller should check what that means for fee and service in their contract. This is why the profile is best read as a seller’s listing broker with limited scope rather than a definition of yacht brokerage. It holds equally at Assos Marina.

If you are buying around Assos Marina, European Yacht Brokers can act as your buyer’s broker. We discuss your plans, size, budget and priorities, research the market, help you compare boats and prepare your offer, and coordinate the survey and sea trial with the seller’s broker. Our brokers speak six languages, so you can deal with us in yours.
Appointing a buyer’s broker gives the purchaser a representative for the whole search. It can begin with a discussion of plans, yacht type, size, budget, location and priorities, after which the broker can research the market, identify boats, gather information from listing brokers, review records and help compare options. Some buyer brokers also preview yachts or arrange remote viewings, so the client narrows the choice before travelling.
The next stage starts when the buyer settles on a yacht. The broker can help prepare and negotiate an offer, explain the steps and deadlines, and coordinate with the seller’s listing broker through the purchase agreement, deposit and escrow arrangements, independent marine survey, specialist inspections, sea trial and any discussions that follow the inspections. Keeping everyone in communication is part of the job. Assessing the yacht is the surveyor’s job; a broker does not replace an independent technical inspection.
Buyer services at yacht brokerages typically take in research, negotiation, survey coordination, sea-trial arrangements and assistance with closing documents. Examples: Curtis Stokes & Associates helps buyers research and preview yachts, prepare offers, negotiate and find surveyors and documentation support, and HMY coordinates the survey and sea-trial stages, post-survey discussions and closing. The service on offer varies, which is why the buyer should ask what the broker handles and what is left to the buyer.
A buyer’s broker can be paid by an agreed share of the commission through a cooperating listing broker, or by a fee the buyer owes under a separate representation agreement; arrangements vary. The fee, duration, scope of authority and any exclusivity belong in writing before the search begins. This gives the purchaser a dedicated representative across a wider search, including when another brokerage lists the chosen yacht. Buyers weighing up boats close to Assos Marina should settle these points first.

Prefer one broker to manage everything? At Assos Marina our full-service broker handles the sale from assessing the yacht to closing and, if the parties agree in writing, represents both buyer and seller. The arrangement is written down so that each side knows whom the broker acts for.
From the owner’s first call to completion, a full-service broker can manage the sale. That may mean assessing the yacht and the asking price, preparing photographs and particulars, advertising, dealing with enquiries, arranging viewings, communicating offers, and helping the parties move an accepted offer through contract, deposit, survey, sea trial and closing. Documentation, escrow arrangements, delivery and other practical details may be included too, depending on the agreement; the precise service belongs in the listing and sale documents.
The broker in this profile deals with the buyer directly as well, representing buyer and seller together. That is what the Yacht Brokers Association of America terms dual agency: one broker, both parties, the same transaction. A listing broker who simply helps a buyer while remaining the seller’s appointed representative is not the same. Before making an offer, ask the broker how the relationship works.
Consider what each party wants. The seller generally wants the strongest price and terms; the buyer wants a suitable yacht at a fair price and must make informed decisions about its condition. A broker representing both is not two independent representatives and cannot privately negotiate for each side as though it were. The YBAA stresses transparency and careful handling of confidential information. Legal rules and permitted arrangements vary by jurisdiction, so rely on the written agreement and applicable local advice.
The commission is often dealt with in the seller’s listing agreement, but payment arrangements vary, so a buyer should check whether any separate fee is owed. Remember that full-service describes the range of work, while dual agency describes whom the broker represents. A broker can offer extensive transaction support without representing both sides.
From our Athens head office we manage a network of brokers serving Greece’s coastal regions and many of its marinas. The first conversation is with the Athens team, who connect you with the broker for your area, and that broker can reach any Greek marina in less than sixty minutes, thanks to the network, to visit your boat and give a free valuation.
Clients at Assos Marina in Kefallonia Island, Ionian Islands, are served by the broker for that area. Our delegates and agents look after all the coastal regions of Greece: Attica, Central Greece, Central Macedonia, Crete, Eastern Macedonia and Thrace, Epirus, the Ionian Islands, the North Aegean, the Peloponnese, the South Aegean, Thessaly and Western Greece. They can speak with customers and visit their boats at short notice, while the Athens head office coordinates the work.
Our Sales Mandate and Evaluation Sheet is where a valuation starts. We use the boat’s details and condition, study the market and prepare a precise valuation based on evidence, informed by sales data for boats worldwide over the past three years. It is an assessment of likely market value, not a guarantee of the price the boat will eventually sell for.
Your regional broker does the work once you appoint us: finding the buyer or the right boat, and guiding you through the transaction to completion and the successful transfer of funds. Boats go onto over 20 platforms throughout Europe, giving them visibility beyond Greece, and an international audience can often help secure a stronger price than relying on local demand alone. With six languages spoken among our brokers, we can connect you with someone who speaks yours.
Where a yacht is kept shapes how it sells, and for boats at Assos Marina that place is Kefallonia Island in Ionian Islands. The notes below summarise the marina’s facilities, the town, its history and what there is to do.
Assos Marina provides berths alongside facilities including water, a bar, a market and a restaurant. The marina is equipped with lifting and launching capabilities. Technical support is available on site. The longest boat accommodated measures metres in length.
Assos is a coastal village located on the northwest coast of Kefallonia Island, part of the Ionian Islands. The village is situated beneath a Venetian fortress constructed at the end of the sixteenth century, known as Assos Castle. Visitors may walk up to the castle, swim in the harbour, and explore the cafés and local beaches that surround the village. The heritage of the area reflects centuries of history tied to the Venetian presence in the region. Assos offers views across the waterfront and maintains a character shaped by its historical and coastal setting.
The area provides several activities including a walk around the Venetian fortress and visits to the colourful waterfront. Local beaches and the nearby Myrtos beach are among the main attractions. Assos village includes a few cafés, tavernas, and small food shops. Water is available locally, but fuel, pharmacies, ATMs, and significant boat repairs require travel to larger towns on Kefallonia. The small harbour at Assos Marina has very limited yacht capacity, so planning for services should take this into account.
Looking for a boat near Assos Marina? Listings appear in the European Yacht Brokers archive once a local broker has added and verified them, and the broker for Ionian Islands can search more widely for you. Selling instead? Your boat can be shown to buyers looking in this area and in neighbouring ports.
Assos Marina is located in a compact bay that offers shelter in settled conditions but has limited quay space and can be influenced by northerly or easterly swell. It functions best as a short scenic stop or swim break on Kefalonia’s west and north coast, commonly combined with visits to Fiskardo and Ithaca. Boats leaving from Assos Marina can access cruising grounds including Fiskardo, Argostoli, Ithaca, Lefkas, and nearby anchorages around Kefalonia. The sailing season here aligns with the broader Mediterranean calendar for yacht activity along the Ionian coast.

Reviews from European Yacht Brokers clients, as published on Google (5.0, European Yacht Brokers) and on our client pages.
Will the broker negotiate price and conditions, explain the paperwork, track deadlines, arrange access for a survey or sea trial and coordinate closing, payment and transfer? If some tasks are not included, separate professional help may be needed.
Arrangements differ. The broker may receive an agreed share of the commission through a cooperating listing broker, or the buyer may owe a fee under a separate representation agreement.
Not by default. A listing broker who helps a buyer with the sale may still be appointed to represent the seller. The written agreement decides.
Our network lets us arrange for a broker to reach any Greek marina in less than an hour, coordinated from the Athens head office.
Download our Sales Mandate and Evaluation Sheet and send us the boat’s details and condition; your regional broker can then arrange a visit to your boat.
