YACHT BROKERS
Free valuation · only 5% commission
Yacht brokers Foúrnoi Marina come in three kinds, and the right one depends on what you want to do: sell your boat, buy a boat, or have one broker handle both sides. European Yacht Brokers, based in Athens, covers Foúrnoi Marina in Fournoi Island, North Aegean, with a local broker who will visit your boat quickly. We give a free valuation, charge just 5% commission, advertise on over 20 international platforms, including YachtWorld, and speak six languages.

Which yacht broker do you need at Foúrnoi Marina?
If your plan is to sell, you need a broker who works for you: someone to value, list and advertise the yacht and bring you offers. Buying, you need a broker on your side of the table: someone to search the market, compare boats and negotiate. Prefer a single point of contact for everything? A full-service broker can handle the whole transaction and, if it is agreed in writing, act for both parties. We offer all three at Foúrnoi Marina.
You are not just buying a service from us; you are using the experience behind it. European Yacht Brokers values boats from sales data covering the past three years worldwide, handles the contract, the legal side and the transfer of ownership, asks buyers for a 10% deposit paid into escrow, and charges just 5%. Write to the Athens team and they will connect you with the broker for North Aegean.
When you sell with us, you appoint the seller’s broker for Foúrnoi Marina and we do the marketing: valuation, presentation, advertising, enquiries and viewings. The commission is just 5%. How much more we take on, such as negotiating or managing the later stages, is agreed with you in writing, and we explain it before you sign.
The seller’s listing broker is the professional the owner engages to present the yacht to the market and find a buyer. The broker may help with the asking price, with specifications and photographs, with preparing and advertising the listing, and with enquiries and viewings. The listing agreement should set out whether the appointment is exclusive or open, how long it lasts, what commission is payable and what services the broker will 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.
Before committing, be clear about where the broker’s work ends. 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, and coordinate closing, payment and transfer documents? If any of these are excluded, you may need separate professional help to complete them.
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 Foúrnoi Marina.

Buying a yacht abroad is easier with someone on your side. At Foúrnoi Marina, our buyer’s broker listens to what you want, finds suitable boats, helps you compare them and negotiate an offer, and keeps the survey, sea trial and closing moving. A local broker can reach any Greek marina in less than an hour, and we speak six languages.
Buyers appoint a broker to act for them in finding and buying a yacht. Work begins with the buyer’s plans, preferred type, size, budget, location and priorities. The broker researches the market, identifies possible boats, asks the listing brokers for information, reviews the records that exist and helps the buyer compare options. A number of buyer brokers also preview yachts or arrange remote viewings, which helps the client narrow the field before travelling.
With a yacht identified, the broker can prepare and negotiate the offer with the buyer, explain the transaction’s steps and deadlines and work with the seller’s listing broker. The process may bring a purchase agreement, deposit and escrow arrangements, an independent marine survey, specialist inspections, a sea trial and more discussions afterwards. The broker can coordinate those steps and keep communication moving. The independent technical inspection is the surveyor’s work, and the broker does not replace it.
Buyer services at yacht brokerages typically take in research, negotiation, survey coordination, sea-trial arrangements and assistance with closing documents. Examples: Curtis Stokes & Associates helps buyers research and preview yachts, prepare offers, negotiate and find surveyors and documentation support, and HMY coordinates the survey and sea-trial stages, post-survey discussions and closing. The service on offer varies, which is why the buyer should ask what the broker handles and what is left to the buyer.
How the broker is paid depends on the arrangement: an agreed share of the commission through a cooperating listing broker, or a fee owed by the buyer under a separate representation agreement. Get the fee, the duration, the scope of authority and any exclusivity in writing before the search starts. A buyer’s broker gives the purchaser a dedicated representative across a wider search, including yachts listed by another brokerage. If you are shortlisting boats near Foúrnoi Marina, put these questions to every broker first.

Prefer one broker to manage everything? At Foúrnoi Marina our full-service broker handles the sale from assessing the yacht to closing and, if the parties agree in writing, represents both buyer and seller. The arrangement is written down so that each side knows whom the broker acts for.
A broker offering full service can handle a sale from start to finish: assessing the yacht and its asking price, preparing photographs and particulars, advertising it, answering enquiries, arranging viewings and communicating offers, and then helping progress an accepted offer through contract, deposit, survey, sea trial and closing. Coordination of documentation, escrow arrangements, delivery or other practical details may be added. The listing and sale documents should state the precise service.
In this profile the broker also deals directly with the buyer and represents both buyer and seller, which the Yacht Brokers Association of America calls dual agency: one broker acting for both parties in the same transaction. A listing broker who merely helps a buyer with the sale, while still appointed by the seller, is a different thing. Before making an offer, a buyer should ask the broker to explain the relationship.
A broker for both sides faces two sets of interests. Sellers generally want the strongest price and terms; buyers want a suitable yacht at a fair price and need to make informed decisions on its condition. Private negotiation for each side, as two independent representatives would do, is not possible for one broker. The YBAA discussion therefore stresses transparency about the arrangement and careful handling of confidential information, and the parties should rely on the written agreement and applicable local advice, since the legal rules and permitted arrangements vary by jurisdiction.
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.
European Yacht Brokers runs its Greek operations from its Athens head office, with brokers serving coastal regions and many marinas throughout Greece. Your first contact is with the Athens team, who connect you with the broker responsible for your area. Our regional network means we can arrange for a broker to reach any Greek marina in less than sixty minutes, and the local broker can arrange a visit to your boat and provide a free valuation.
Clients at Foúrnoi Marina in Fournoi Island, North Aegean, are served by the broker for that area. Our delegates and agents look after all the coastal regions of Greece: 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. They can speak with customers and visit their boats at short notice, while the Athens head office coordinates the work.
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.
Your regional broker does the work once you appoint us: finding the buyer or the right boat, and guiding you through the transaction to completion and the successful transfer of funds. Boats go onto over 20 platforms throughout Europe, giving them visibility beyond Greece, and an international audience can often help secure a stronger price than relying on local demand alone. With six languages spoken among our brokers, we can connect you with someone who speaks yours.
Buyers rarely look only at the boat. They look at where it is kept, and at Foúrnoi Marina that means Fournoi Island, in North Aegean. The notes below cover the marina, the town and the area around it, drawn from the marina’s own information and from local sources.
Fournoi Island is the principal settlement of a small archipelago in the North Aegean with a long fishing tradition. The area includes numerous sheltered coves such as Kampi, Aspa, Pelekania, Perokopio, Ayios Ioannis, Kasidi, Vlichada, Vitsilia, Maneta, Gria and Ayios Minas. Foúrnoi Marina serves as the main point of access to the island’s natural surroundings, which are shaped by its history and coastal geography. The fishing harbour remains a feature of the village, reflecting its ongoing connection with maritime activity in the region.
The village at Fournoi provides water, food, pharmacies, an ATM, tavernas and ferries, supporting local and visiting sailors. On the main street a few stores offer limited supplies, while a shop beside the bakery sells local fresh goat cheese. O Miltos is a known venue specialising in seafood. Activities include visiting the waterfront, beaches and walking routes across the island, as well as boat trips to Thymaina, which are among the key attractions linked to Foúrnoi Marina.
Boats on the market near Foúrnoi Marina are published in the European Yacht Brokers archive after local brokers add and verify them. Buyers can ask for a wider search, and owners can have a boat shown to buyers who are searching in Fournoi Island, in North Aegean and in nearby ports.
Foúrnoi Marina offers shelter in a harbour with access to a long list of island coves. Strong meltemi winds and accelerated currents are typical in the channels between Fournoi, Ikaria and Samos. Boats cruising from Foúrnoi can reach Ikaria, Samos, Patmos, Lipsi, Arki and Thymaina, depending on weather conditions. The sailing season extends across the months when these routes remain navigable under local wind patterns.
Call or WhatsApp the Athens team on +30 698 013 5656 and ask for the broker covering Fournoi Island: a free valuation for sellers, a search for buyers and one point of contact for both.
Foúrnoi Marina is accessed via Ikaria Island National Airport (JIK), which is the nearest airport. The available public transport options to the marina should be considered for onward travel. The distance and drive time between the airport and the marina have not been specified.
Reviews from European Yacht Brokers clients, as published on Google (5.0, European Yacht Brokers) and on our client pages.
Not always. Some sellers take a limited service in which the broker advertises the yacht and passes offers to the owner, while other agreements also cover negotiation, survey, sea trial and closing. Ask before you sign.
The fee, the duration, the scope of the broker’s authority and any exclusivity should all be written down before the search begins.
Not by default. Helping a buyer does not by itself change whom a listing broker represents. The written agreement decides.
Our commission is simply 5% and the valuation is free.
We do. We organise the contract, the legal side and the transfer of ownership, so you have nothing to do.
