Selling a boat in Kamari Harbour Kos
Selling at Kamari Harbour Kos through us leaves you with nothing to do. We qualify the enquiries, run the viewings and sea trials, arrange any inspection the survey calls for, and handle the contract, the legal side and the transfer of ownership, from first offer to handover.
Every valuation starts with a detailed market study. We have access to data on boats that have actually sold, and for each boat we weigh the age, the prices achieved for similar boats, the options fitted, its condition, the service record and where it lies. There is no charge for the valuation, so you start from a figure grounded in real sales.
The value of a boat is set by its condition, its model, its age and its equipment, and the area matters as well. Some boats sell better in America than in Greece, and vice versa, and a boat at Kamari Harbour Kos 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 easy to find, buyers can finance them; when it dries up, fewer can. So we pair the valuation with patience and extensive publicity on over 20 international platforms, on social media and on our own website, which draws many buyers. In most cases, that finds the right buyer, and our commission is just 5%.

Taking payment for a boat is where private sellers are most exposed. With so much scamming about today, you need a representative managing the payment. Finding a serious buyer is just 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 as well, 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 will get a better price than you will, because it is his job. For 5% you are very likely 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 Kamari Harbour Kos.
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.
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.
Every enquiry is checked before anyone sets foot on your boat. We confirm who the buyer is, whether the buyer is serious and what the buyer wants, so the tyre-kickers never reach your berth at Kamari Harbour Kos. 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 checked the same way.
We organise the viewings and the sea trial, so you don’t have 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. That isn’t always advisable, because sellers are attached to their boats and buyers can use a sea trial to push the price down, but the decision is yours.
Before a viewing, the boat should be clean, with its systems ready to demonstrate, the records to hand, access agreed and its condition described honestly. We agree each viewing with you, 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 Kamari Harbour Kos, 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 Kamari Harbour Kos, 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 also check that the boat has no finance outstanding on it.
With so much scamming around today, you want a representative handling 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 Kamari Harbour Kos is finished properly. For our 5% commission you are probably ahead anyway, and you do no work.
Seller's checklist

The bay is partly sheltered from northerly seas but can experience strong meltemi gusts, which occasionally affect the conditions. Southerly swell is also known to occur, impacting the sea state at times. These weather patterns contribute to variable wind and sea conditions, requiring careful consideration when mooring or navigating in the area.
A boat based at Kamari Harbour Kos has access to cruising areas including Nisyros, Gyali, Kardamena, Astypalaia and the southern Kos anchorages. These locations offer a variety of sailing options within reach. The best time to sail is the season when conditions are favourable, though no specific months are noted here.
Boats for sale Kamari Harbour Kos 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.
Kos Island includes Kamari, which serves as the coastal harbour for Kefalos, a historic settlement located on the southwest of Kos. Kefalos is situated near the site of the ancient town of Astypalaia, reflecting the area’s long-standing historical significance. This connection to ancient heritage characterises the region without modern embellishment.
Kamari Harbour on Kos lies close to Kefalos village and the Agios Stefanos basilica. Visitors can explore Kastri islet and enjoy the local beaches. The Cave of Aspri Petra is another principal attraction nearby, offering opportunities for exploration along the coastline.
Near Kamari Harbour Kos, the resort area provides food shops, pharmacies, ATMs, tavernas and excursion boats. It was not confirmed whether yacht fuel is available or if major repairs can be carried out locally. This offers some essential services for those visiting or based in the harbour area.
Seasonal village festivals take place on Kos Island throughout the year, reflecting the island’s local traditions. However, no recurring events specifically related to the marina have been confirmed. These festivals provide opportunities to experience aspects of the island’s culture during different seasons. The timing and nature of these celebrations vary and are linked to local customs rather than the yachting calendar. As a result, yachts visiting the island may encounter these occasional festivities depending on the time of visit.
