Selling a boat in Tinos Harbour
Every enquiry for your boat at Tinos Harbour is checked before any viewing, so just genuine buyers reach the berth. We organise 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 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 obtained for similar boats, its options, the condition, the service record and where it lies. The valuation is free, 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 Tinos Harbour 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 pair 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%.

Offer, documents and handover.
Taking payment for a boat is where private sellers are most exposed. With so much scamming around today, you need a representative handling 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, 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 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. 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 Tinos Harbour.
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.
We check every enquiry before anyone sets foot on your boat. 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 Tinos Harbour. 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 arrange the viewings and the sea trial, so you do not need 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. It 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 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 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 Tinos Harbour, 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 Tinos Harbour, 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 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 Tinos Harbour is finished properly. For our 5% commission you are very likely ahead anyway, and you do no work.
Seller's checklist
Sell my boat Tinos Harbour with European Yacht Brokers, acting for owners here from our Athens head office.
Tinos is among the Cyclades’ windiest islands, with strong meltemi crosswinds regularly affecting the harbour. These winds contribute to challenging sea conditions, further influenced by ferry wash within the harbour area. Such factors should be considered when mooring or navigating nearby waters.
Boats based at Tinos Harbour have access to Mykonos, Andros, Syros, Kea and other northern Cyclades islands. These destinations offer a range of sailing options within the region. The area is suitable for cruising at various times of the year depending on weather conditions and personal preferences.
Boats for sale Tinos Harbour 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.
Tinos Town serves as the island’s capital and principal pilgrimage centre, developed around a significant ferry port and the Church of Panagia Evangelistria. The town’s history is closely linked to these landmarks, shaping its character and function. It remains a focal point for visitors arriving by sea and those attending religious observances. The layout and buildings reflect its role as both a transit hub and a place of spiritual importance on the island.
Tinos Harbour provides access to several principal attractions including Panagia Evangelistria and the Archaeological Museum. The old town offers historic streets to explore while the nearby marble villages provide insight into local craft. Dovecotes are a notable feature of the landscape, adding character to the area. Various beaches are also available for visitors wishing to experience the surrounding seaside.
The port and town offer water and fuel arrangements alongside food supplies, pharmacies, ATMs, restaurants and ferry connections. Marine equipment and engine service are available through the Apergis Group. This provides essential services and provisions for those visiting or docking in Tinos Harbour.
The Dormition pilgrimage on 15 August is the island’s largest annual event. This occasion draws numerous attendees who participate in the religious celebrations. The event is significant within the local calendar and is observed with various related activities. It remains a focal point for those visiting or residing on the island during this time. The 15 August pilgrimage highlights the cultural and spiritual traditions maintained annually.
