Selling a boat in Merichas Marina
Selling at Merichas Marina through us leaves you with nothing to do. We screen the enquiries, host 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 offer to handover.
Every valuation starts with a thorough market study. We have access to sales data, and for each boat we weigh the age, the prices achieved for comparable boats, the options fitted, its condition, the service history 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 the other way round, and a boat at Merichas Marina 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 strong, boats sell well, and when credit is available, buyers can pay for them; when it dries up, fewer can. So we combine the valuation with patience and wide 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%.

Offer, documents and handover.
Handing over a boat and taking the money is where private sellers are most exposed. With so much scamming about today, you need a representative handling the payment. Finding a serious buyer is just as hard: owners who sell privately usually meet around 20 tyre-kickers and time-wasters before they give up and call a broker.
The experience can be unpleasant, 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 check that the boat has no finance outstanding on it.
A broker will get a better price than you will, and that 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 Merichas Marina.
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.
The sea trial follows a serious viewing, and it is at the buyer’s expense. He pays for a professional, insured captain, or you can 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. The decision is yours.
But nobody gets that far without being checked first. We establish who the buyer is, whether the buyer is serious and what the buyer wants, so the time-wasters never reach your berth at Merichas Marina. 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 agree each viewing with you, so the boat is ready when the buyer arrives.
You give us a mandate to sell your boat. When we have a suitable offer, we put it 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 Merichas Marina, 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 organise the contract, the legal side and the transfer of ownership for your sale at Merichas Marina, so you have nothing to do. The 10% deposit is paid into an escrow account, and the balance goes straight to the seller.
The paperwork can be complicated, especially if the boat changes flag or has to be re-registered, and insurance can be a problem. We also check that the boat has no finance outstanding on it.
With so much scamming about 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 Merichas Marina is finished properly. For our 5% commission you are probably ahead anyway, and you do no work.
Seller's checklist
Sell my boat Merichas Marina with European Yacht Brokers, acting for owners here from our Athens head office.
The harbour is protected but experiences frequent traffic from ferries, contributing to a busy environment. It is also subject to strong meltemi gusts which can affect conditions within the marina. These winds result in notable wash, which should be taken into account when berthing or navigating in the area.
A boat based at Merichas Marina can cruise to Serifos, Kea, Syros, Sifnos and other bays within Kythnos. These destinations offer a range of sailing options suitable for various itineraries. The best time to sail in this area is during the season when conditions permit easy access to these islands, allowing for a practical and direct route across the local waters. Navigating between these locations provides an efficient passage for those looking to explore nearby Greek islands. Each bay within Kythnos offers different anchoring or mooring possibilities depending on the specific requirements and timing of the voyage.
Boats for sale Merichas Marina 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.
Merichas, located on the west coast of Kythnos, serves as the island’s principal ferry port and is a settlement that supports access to both Chora and Dryopida. Its role as the main point of arrival and departure has shaped the character of the area, which maintains a practical connection with the rest of the island. The port facilities and local infrastructure accommodate regular ferry services, sustaining its function as a gateway rather than a remote outpost. The settlement is primarily oriented around its maritime activity and the needs of visitors and residents travelling to and from Chora and Dryopida.
The waterfront offers access to several nearby beaches along with principal attractions such as Dryopida, Chora and Kolona beach. Each location provides a distinct environment to explore from the marina. Visitors can plan visits to these varied sites to appreciate the diverse coastal features in the immediate area.
Merichas village offers a range of facilities including supermarkets, pharmacies, ATMs, and restaurants, alongside fuel arrangements and water supply for visiting yachts. Ferry services are also available from the village. However, no confirmation has been given regarding the availability of major yacht repair services in the area.
Kythnos holds summer religious and cultural festivals, although no recurring marina event has been confirmed. These events form part of the island’s annual calendar. Details regarding organised gatherings related to the marina were not specified. The summer period is marked by these traditional festivals that attract visitors and locals alike. Other seasonal or special events have not been listed.
