Selling a boat in Thessaloniki–Aretsou Marina
From the first enquiry to the final handover, European Yacht Brokers look after the sale of your boat at Thessaloniki–Aretsou Marina in Kalamaria. We qualify the buyers, run the viewings and sea trials, organise any inspection after the survey, and take care of the contract, the legal side and the transfer of ownership. You have nothing to do.
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 its age, the prices achieved for similar boats, the options fitted, its condition, the service record and the area. There is no charge for the valuation, so you start 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 Thessaloniki–Aretsou 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 draws 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 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 too, particularly 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 probably 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 Thessaloniki–Aretsou 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.
We check every enquiry 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 Thessaloniki–Aretsou Marina. 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 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 try to get 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 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. 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 Thessaloniki–Aretsou 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 Thessaloniki–Aretsou Marina, 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 about today, you want a representative managing 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 Thessaloniki–Aretsou Marina is finished properly. For our 5% commission you are probably ahead anyway, and you do no work.

Strong northerly winds occasionally impact conditions, requiring consideration when navigating or mooring. These factors contribute to a varying marine environment at the facility.
A boat based at Thessaloniki–Aretsou Marina can cruise to Kassandra, Sani and Nikiti, as well as explore the Sporades and the wider northern Aegean. These destinations offer a range of options for sailing throughout the season. The area provides varied itineraries that suit different passages in northern Greek waters.

Kalamaria is located on the Thessaloniki waterfront and is home to Aretsou Marina. The area provides direct access to the sea and serves as a point of interest for those connected with marine activities. This setting places it within an urban environment along the coast, connecting visitors and residents alike to the city’s broader maritime facilities.
Kalamaria grew substantially following the settlement of refugees from Asia Minor and the Black Sea during the twentieth century. It now forms the southeastern waterfront of Thessaloniki. This area reflects the historical changes brought about by those migrations while becoming an integral part of the city’s coastal layout.
The Aretsou promenade and Remembrance Park lie close to the marina, providing outdoor spaces near the water. Several waterfront restaurants offer dining options along the shore. Central Thessaloniki is accessible for visits to its museums and monuments, presenting cultural and historical sights within reach of the marina.
The marina offers organised berthing, while fuel, food, pharmacies, ATMs, chandlers and yacht technicians can be found in Kalamaria and Thessaloniki. These nearby locations provide the necessary supplies and services for yacht maintenance and provisioning. The availability of these facilities supports the requirements of boat owners and crews during their stay at Aretsou Marina.
Throughout the year, Thessaloniki’s Dimitria Festival is held, showcasing a range of cultural events. The area also hosts waterfront sailing events, providing opportunities connected to maritime activities. These occasions contribute to a varied calendar within the region.
Thessaloniki–Aretsou Marina can be accessed internationally via Thessaloniki Airport Makedonia (SKG). The distance and drive time between the airport and marina are not confirmed. Car hire at SKG is available from Avance, Avis Budget, Enterprise, Hertz Thrifty and Sixt. These options provide means of onward travel from the airport.
