Selling a boat in Igoumenitsa
From the first enquiry to the final handover, European Yacht Brokers look after the sale of your boat at Igoumenitsa in Epirus. We check every buyer, organise the viewings and sea trials, organise any inspection after the survey, and handle the contract, the legal side and the transfer of ownership. You do nothing.
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 record and where it lies. The valuation is free, 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 vice versa, and a boat at Igoumenitsa 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 combine the valuation with patience and extensive publicity on over 20 international platforms, on social media and on our own website, which attracts many buyers. In most cases, that finds the right buyer, and our commission is just 5%.

Handing over a boat and taking the money is where private sellers are most exposed. With so much scamming about today, you want a representative handling the payment. Finding a serious buyer is almost as hard: owners who sell privately often meet around 20 tyre-kickers and time-wasters before they give up and call a broker.
The experience can be unpleasant, much like selling a second-hand car, with buyers who can be extremely disagreeable. 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 make sure that the boat has no finance outstanding on it.
A broker gets a better price than you will, and that is his job. For our 5% commission you are probably 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 Igoumenitsa.
You give us a mandate to sell your boat. We don’t always ask for exclusivity; we decide 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.
The sea trial follows a serious viewing, and it is at the buyer’s expense. He brings a professional, insured captain, or you are welcome to come and be present. It isn’t always advisable: sellers are attached to their boats, and buyers can use a sea trial to push the price down. It is your decision.
But no one reaches a sea trial without being checked first. 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 Igoumenitsa. With over 20 international platforms and six languages behind your listing, the enquiries are many, and we organise the viewings so you do not have to show anyone round.
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 tell you when a viewing is booked, so the boat is ready when the buyer arrives.
You give us a mandate to sell your boat. We put every suitable offer to you. If you accept, we go ahead; if you don’t, 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 Igoumenitsa, 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 Igoumenitsa, so you do nothing. 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 also check 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 arrange the contract, we deal with the legal side, and we see the transfer of ownership through, so the sale at Igoumenitsa is finished properly. For our 5% commission you are probably ahead anyway, and you do no work.
Seller's checklist

Igoumenitsa Bay is naturally sheltered, providing relatively calm conditions for vessels moored there. However, the main harbour is dominated by the presence of ferries, commercial shipping, and port-control requirements, which influence local sea conditions. These factors contribute to variable traffic patterns that may affect manoeuvring within the harbour. Winds and weather conditions reflect the bay’s exposure but are moderated by its sheltered nature. It is important to remain aware of the operational activity given the commercial and ferry presence in the area.
A boat based at Igoumenitsa can cruise to Corfu, Syvota, Paxos, Albania and the southern Ionian islands. These locations provide a range of options for sailing in the region. The cruising grounds allow for various routes within the Ionian Sea. The best time to sail is not specified in the provided facts.
Boats for sale Igoumenitsa 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.
Igoumenitsa is a port town in Epirus. It serves as a point of connection by sea and holds a place within the regional setting of Epirus. The town’s role centres on maritime access in this part of north-western Greece.
Igoumenitsa is a modern port city whose growth accelerated after it became the capital of Thesprotia. The city developed major ferry links with Italy and Corfu, which contributed significantly to its expansion. These connections have established it as an important maritime hub in the region.
Near Igoumenitsa, the Archaeological Museum offers insights into the region’s history, while Drepano beach provides opportunities for relaxation by the sea. The ancient site of Gitana attracts those interested in local heritage. Excursions to Syvota and the Kalamas delta allow exploration of nearby natural landscapes and waterways.
Near Igoumenitsa, the port and city offer fuel, water, food, pharmacies, ATMs, repairs and international ferries. Yacht berthing is available but is a secondary consideration to commercial operations in the area. Supplies and services can be accessed within the city limits, supporting various nautical and daily needs.
Municipal summer events take place in the region, offering various activities and gatherings throughout the season. However, there is no confirmation of any recurring leisure-marina events within Epirus. These scheduled municipal occasions provide cultural and social experiences during the warmer months without specific marina-related festivities.

Several car hire companies operate from the airport, including Avis Budget, Drive, Sixt, Hertz Thrifty, KapaRent and Europcar, facilitating onward travel.
