IN BRIEF

Selling a boat in Skala Harbour

Each enquiry for your boat at Skala Harbour is checked ahead of any viewing, so only serious buyers reach the berth. We organise the viewings and sea trials, answer every question, and should the survey find a problem we arrange the inspection and the solution. The contract, the legal side and the transfer of ownership are taken care of by us, so you have nothing to do.

What is your boat worth?

Every valuation starts with a thorough market study. We have access to data on boats that have actually sold, and for each boat we weigh the age, the prices obtained for similar boats, its options, its condition, the service history and the area. There is no charge for the valuation, so you begin 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 Skala 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 available, buyers can finance them; when it dries up, fewer can. So we pair the valuation with patience and wide 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%.

Why sell with European Yacht Brokers Skala Harbour

The paperwork is more complicated than most owners expect, particularly when the boat changes flag or has to be re-registered. Insurance can be a problem, and someone has to make sure that the boat has no finance outstanding on it.

Then comes finding a serious buyer: private sellers often meet around 20 tyre-kickers and time-wasters before they call a broker. With so much scamming about today, you want a representative managing 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 5% you are very likely ahead anyway, and you do no work. 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 Skala Harbour.

You give us a mandate to sell your boat. We don’t always ask for exclusivity; we decide case by case. The contract can be terminated at any time.* *If a buyer we introduced during the mandate buys the boat later, we are still entitled to our commission.

Professional preparation and presentation

Photography and video

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.

Listing and distribution

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.

Documents ready

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.

Qualified buyers, viewings and sea trials

We check every enquiry before anyone sets foot on your boat. We establish who the buyer is, whether the buyer is serious and what the buyer wants, so the tyre-kickers never reach your berth at Skala 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 arrange the viewings and the sea trial, so you do not need 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 the decision is yours.

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 agree each viewing with you, so the boat is ready when the buyer arrives.

Survey, offer and negotiation

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 Skala 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.

Documents, payment and transfer of ownership

We organise the contract, the legal side and the transfer of ownership for your sale at Skala Harbour, 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 about today, you need a representative managing 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 Skala Harbour is finished properly. For our 5% commission you are very likely ahead anyway, and you do no work.

  • 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.
