Greek law places ship-brokerage offices under a specific operating procedure administered through the Ministry of Tourism, including a certificate of legal requirements and a financial guarantee. The boat’s flag and use determine the register relevant to the transfer, and AADE describes its register as including Greek-flagged private recreational vessels. Crete follows these national requirements. EUGO, operation of a ship-brokerage office
The Greek administrative procedure identifies a signed private sale contract as evidence of transfer and requires both parties’ signatures to be authenticated by the public authority or gov.gr. Office approval and vessel ownership recording are distinct obligations under the published procedures. The Ministry of Tourism assigns this notification process to its regional tourism services. The purchaser should finish the separate ownership-record update. Greek National Registry of Administrative Procedures, transfer of vessel ownership
