Selling a boat in Lakki Marina
Each enquiry for your boat at Lakki Marina is qualified ahead of any viewing, so just serious buyers reach the berth. We arrange the viewings and sea trials, handle 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 ours to handle, so you do nothing.
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 its age, the prices achieved for similar 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 vice versa, and a boat at Lakki 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 finance 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 attracts many buyers. In most cases, that finds the right buyer, and our commission is just 5%.

The hardest part of selling a boat is finding a serious buyer. Owners who sell privately often meet about 20 tyre-kickers before they give up and turn to a broker. It can also be an unpleasant experience: much like selling a second-hand car, you meet buyers who can be very disagreeable indeed.
Then comes the money. With so much scamming about today, you want a representative handling the payment, not you alone. 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 check that the boat has no finance outstanding on it.
A broker will also get 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 Lakki Marina.
You give us a mandate to sell your boat. Exclusivity is not always required, and we decide it 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 pays for a professional, insured captain, or you can come and be present. That 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 tyre-kickers never reach your berth at Lakki 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 Lakki 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 take care of the contract, the legal side and the transfer of ownership for your sale at Lakki Marina, 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 organise the contract, we deal with the legal side, and we see the transfer of ownership through, so the sale at Lakki Marina is finished properly. For our 5% commission you are probably ahead anyway, and you do no work.

The deep enclosed bay offers excellent shelter for vessels, although strong gusts may descend from the surrounding hills. These conditions can affect wind patterns and sea state within the marina. The protection of the bay generally contributes to calmer waters compared to open waters. Mariners should be prepared for variable winds due to the topography around the bay.
From Lakki Marina, a vessel can cruise to Kalymnos, Lipsi, Patmos, Kos and the Turkish coast. These destinations provide a range of sailing opportunities within reach. The available routes enable a variety of itineraries depending on interest and weather conditions.
Boats for sale Lakki 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.
Lakki occupies one of the eastern Mediterranean’s largest natural harbours and was redesigned as Portolago during the period of Italian rule. This transformation resulted in notable examples of rationalist architecture within the town. The port’s layout and buildings reflect this historical influence, which remains evident today.
The area around Lakki Marina features Italian-period buildings alongside the War Museum and naval tunnels. The Lakki waterfront offers a place to explore, while excursions to Platanos Castle form one of the principal attractions nearby. These sites combine historical interest with opportunities for local exploration within easy reach of the marina. This variety provides several points of interest for visitors during their stay.
The town near Lakki Marina offers supermarkets, pharmacies, ATMs, fuel and restaurants for everyday needs. Several boatyards and technical companies operate around Lakki Bay, providing services to vessels in the area. This combination supports both routine supply purchases and professional maintenance requirements for yacht owners and operators.
Leros Island hosts summer cultural events which include commemorations of its Second World War history. These events take place annually, reflecting the island’s historical significance during that period. The commemorations are an important part of the island’s summer schedule, attracting interest from those with an understanding of the region’s past. Such events highlight the heritage of the island in a respectful manner without embellishment or exaggeration.
