Start your sale with EYB head office

When you decide to sell your boat Greece with European Yacht Brokers, your journey begins by contacting their head office. The team will request detailed information about your yacht, including its history, maintenance, and features, to gain a clear understanding of its value in the current marketplace. Based on this information, EYB provides you with an initial valuation, reflecting the market for boats like yours in Greece. This figure is an estimate and does not guarantee the final sale price.

After the initial valuation, head office will review the proposed sale terms with you, ensuring you are fully informed. You and EYB will reach an agreement on the listing arrangements, and you will benefit from the straightforward 5% commission. With these steps completed, your sale will progress with EYB’s guidance.

Brokerage requirements in Greece

A person operating a ship-brokerage office in Greece must follow the official Ministry of Tourism procedure; this is a regulated office activity, not an optional quality label. Its requirements include a qualifying business office and a guarantee in favour of the State. The purchaser should confirm the boat’s entry and details in the applicable Greek register, since AADE’s ship register covers private recreational vessels flying the Greek flag. The national process also governs sales in Greece. EUGO, operation of a ship-brokerage office

A sale used to change the vessel’s registered owner requires a private sale agreement whose two signatures are authenticated by a public authority or via gov.gr. Keep the brokerage-office compliance record separate from the purchaser’s vessel-registration papers. The Ministry of Tourism procedure is handled by the relevant regional tourism service. The owner-change entry remains necessary after signing the contract. Greek National Registry of Administrative Procedures, transfer of vessel ownership

For Greece, EYB arranges brokerage support in line with these requirements; its qualified lawyer prepares the sale contract and manages registration. Check the seller’s authority to transfer the boat and keep the signed contract and registry evidence. EUGO, operation of a ship-brokerage office

Viewings and trials for your boat in Greece

Selling your boat in Greece through European Yacht Brokers means all viewings are managed efficiently by our head office and supported by a knowledgeable local broker. The broker ensures that viewings, surveys, and sea trials take place in accordance with brokerage regulations in Greece. Buyers are offered the opportunity to carry out a survey and sea trial as part of their decision-making. You benefit from our expertise at each stage, making sure each step meets both your needs and all legal criteria.

Deposit, contracts and completion process

Following acceptance of a buyer’s offer, a 10% deposit is lodged in escrow to hold the agreement in place as the sale progresses. The sales contract, covering all negotiated conditions, is prepared to ensure clarity and security throughout the transaction.

Once every condition has been met according to the contract, the buyer transfers the remaining balance directly to your account. This approach provides transparency and peace of mind at every stage of the sale.

Seller's checklist

  • Gather the ownership documents, registration papers and tax status.
  • Collect invoices, manuals and the maintenance history.
  • Prepare an up-to-date inventory of equipment.
  • Agree the mandate, asking price and viewing arrangements in writing.
  • Have the boat clean, tidy and ready to demonstrate its systems.
  • Weigh every offer with written conditions and clear timings.
  • Arrange secure payment and handover with a signed record.
