Which yacht broker do you need at Alimos Marina?
Here is the difference: a seller’s broker works for the owner and brings the yacht to market; a buyer’s broker works for the purchaser and finds, compares and negotiates; a full-service broker handles the sale from the first conversation to completion and, if you agree it in writing, can act for both sides. At Alimos Marina you can choose any of the three, and the written agreement sets out exactly what is included.
Brokerage is what we do, and we make it easy: a no-cost valuation, a commission of just 5%, over 20 international platforms including YachtWorld, six languages and a local broker who can reach any Greek marina, including Alimos Marina, inside an hour. Tell us whether you want to sell, buy or have one broker for both, and we will take it from there.
Selling a yacht kept at Alimos Marina? Our seller’s broker takes the work off you: a no-cost valuation, photographs and particulars, advertising on over 20 international platforms, the enquiries and the viewings. The agreement says what is included, how long it lasts and what commission is payable (just 5%), so there are no surprises.
A seller’s listing broker works for the owner, seeking a buyer for the yacht. Subject to the agreement, the broker can assist with an asking price, the specifications and photographs, the listing itself, advertising, enquiries and viewings. A good listing agreement makes four things clear: whether the appointment is exclusive or open, how long it lasts, what commission is payable and what services the broker has agreed to provide.
A limited service exists for sellers who need only a listing and marketing arrangement. Here the broker advertises the yacht and passes an offer to the owner, while negotiation and the rest of the transaction stay outside the broker’s responsibility. It is a legitimate, defined service, though not a description of every seller’s broker. Many guides include post-offer work: Horizon Yachts International sets out the deposit, survey and sea-trial stages, and YachtWorld says a broker may arrange the survey and sea trial.
A seller should know exactly what the broker will and will not do. The questions to ask: will the broker negotiate price and conditions; help prepare or explain the paperwork; track deadlines and contingencies; arrange access for a survey or sea trial; coordinate closing, payment and transfer documents? Where the answer is no, arrange separate professional help to complete those tasks.
The listing broker acts for the seller. If you are a buyer contacting that broker directly, ask whom the broker represents and whether you should have your own representative. Another broker can bring a buyer through a co-brokerage arrangement, in which firms may share commission under their agreement, and the seller should check what that means for fee and service in their contract. This is why the profile is best read as a seller’s listing broker with limited scope rather than a definition of yacht brokerage. It holds equally at Alimos Marina.

If you are buying around Alimos Marina, European Yacht Brokers can act as your buyer’s broker. We discuss your plans, size, budget and priorities, research the market, help you compare boats and prepare your offer, and coordinate the survey and sea trial with the seller’s broker. Our brokers speak six languages, so you can deal with us in yours.
The purchaser appoints a buyer’s broker to represent them in finding and buying a yacht. The search usually starts with a conversation about the buyer’s plans: the type and size of yacht, the budget, the location and the priorities. From there the broker can research the market, identify candidate boats, collect information from listing brokers, review the records available and help the buyer compare the options. Some buyer brokers also preview yachts or arrange remote viewings, letting the client narrow the choice before travelling.
When the buyer has found a yacht, the broker can help prepare and negotiate the offer, explain the steps and deadlines and liaise with the seller’s listing broker. Expect a purchase agreement, deposit and escrow arrangements, an independent marine survey, specialist inspections, a sea trial and further discussion once the inspections are done. The broker helps coordinate these steps and keeps communication moving, but the surveyor assesses the yacht, and the broker does not replace an independent technical inspection.
Some yacht brokerages publish what their buyer services include: research, negotiation, survey coordination, sea-trial arrangements and assistance with closing documentation. At Curtis Stokes & Associates that means helping buyers research and preview yachts, prepare offers, negotiate and find surveyors and documentation support; HMY describes coordinating survey and sea-trial stages, post-survey discussions and closing. Since services vary, buyers should ask what the broker will handle and what remains theirs.
Payment is not the same everywhere. Either the buyer’s broker receives an agreed share of the commission through a cooperating listing broker, or the buyer owes a fee under a separate representation agreement. Put the fee, duration, scope of authority and any exclusivity in writing before the search begins. The purchaser then has a dedicated representative across a wider search, even where another brokerage holds the listing. Purchasers searching near Alimos Marina should ask these questions before appointing anyone.

A single point of contact can make a sale smoother, and that is what our full-service broker offers owners and buyers at Alimos Marina. Dual agency is available only where it is agreed in writing, and we recommend you ask us to explain it before any offer is made.
The full-service yacht broker takes a sale from the owner’s first conversation through to completion. Typical tasks: assessing the yacht and its asking price, photographs and particulars, advertising, enquiries, viewings, communicating offers, and helping the parties through the contract, deposit, survey, sea trial and closing of an accepted offer. The broker may also coordinate documentation, escrow arrangements, delivery or other details. The listing and sale documents should record exactly what service is provided.
Dual agency, in the words of the Yacht Brokers Association of America, is one broker representing both parties in the same transaction, and it is what this profile describes: a broker dealing directly with the buyer while representing buyer and seller. It is not the same as a listing broker who helps a buyer but stays appointed by the seller. The buyer should ask for the relationship to be explained before making an offer.
The parties’ interests differ. The seller generally wants the strongest price and terms; the buyer wants a suitable yacht at a fair price and needs to make informed decisions about its condition. A broker representing both cannot privately negotiate for each side as if there were two independent representatives. The YBAA discussion stresses transparency about the arrangement and careful handling of confidential information. Legal rules and permitted arrangements vary by jurisdiction, so rely on the written agreement and applicable local advice.
Commission is often covered in the seller’s listing agreement, but not always in the same way, so a buyer should confirm whether any separate fee is owed. Keep the terms apart: full-service refers to the range of work, dual agency to the parties represented. Extensive transaction support is possible without representing both sides.
From our Athens head office we manage a network of brokers serving Greece’s coastal regions and many of its marinas. The first conversation is with the Athens team, who connect you with the broker for your area, and that broker can reach any Greek marina in less than sixty minutes, thanks to the network, to visit your boat and give a valuation at no charge.
Our people are where your boat is. Delegates and agents work across every coastal region of Greece, namely Attica, Central Greece, Central Macedonia, Crete, Eastern Macedonia and Thrace, Epirus, the Ionian Islands, the North Aegean, the Peloponnese, the South Aegean, Thessaly and Western Greece, so a client at Alimos Marina in Attica can have the local broker visit the boat and talk things through quickly, while the Athens head office stays your single point of contact.
To begin a valuation, download our Sales Mandate and Evaluation Sheet. Using the boat’s details and condition we study the market and prepare a precise, evidence-based valuation informed by the sales data available to us for boats worldwide over the past three years. A valuation is an assessment of likely market value, rather than a guarantee of the eventual sale price.
After appointment, your regional broker handles finding a buyer, or the right boat for you, and guides you through the transaction to completion and the successful transfer of funds. We advertise across over 20 platforms throughout Europe so boats are seen beyond the Greek market, and reaching international buyers can often help secure a stronger price than relying on local demand alone. Six languages are spoken between our brokers, so someone can talk to you in yours.

Alimos Marina is sheltered within the Saronic Gulf, where summer northerly winds tend to be less severe than in the open Cyclades, although the harbour experiences heavy traffic during peak months. The main leisure sailing season extends from spring through to autumn, with local promotion of trips to the Saronic Islands, including common cruising routes to Aegina, Agistri, Poros, Methana, Hydra and the Peloponnese coast.
Nearby cruising options also include Cape Sounion and the Saronic islands, while longer voyages may reach the Aegean, Ionian, Cretan Sea and the Dodecanese. Alimos Marina hosted the five-day R.O.C. Kosmos 2025 Optimist event, featuring 175 sailors aged 10 to 15 from 29 countries competing in the Saronic Gulf, with the opening ceremony held at Kalamaki Nautical Club.
