Which yacht broker do you need at Kalamata Marina?
If you are the seller, you need a broker who works for you: someone to value, list and advertise the yacht and bring you offers. If your plan is to buy, 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 Kalamata Marina.
Our approach is to put it in writing: what the broker will do, what it costs and how long it lasts. The commission is just 5%, the valuation is free, and you are looked after in six languages by a broker who can visit your boat at Kalamata Marina quickly. Start with the valuation below, or call or WhatsApp +30 698 013 5656.
At Kalamata Marina, European Yacht Brokers acts as your seller’s broker: we value the yacht, prepare the listing, advertise it, deal with enquiries and arrange the viewings, for a commission of just 5%. How much more we take on is agreed with you in writing, so you know exactly where our work starts and ends before you sign.
Bringing a yacht to market is the listing broker’s job, and the owner makes the appointment. The broker may help set the asking price, collect specifications and photographs, prepare the listing, advertise the yacht, respond to enquiries and arrange viewings. Check that the listing agreement explains whether it is exclusive or open, how long it runs, what commission applies and which services are included.
The limited version of the service is simple: the broker advertises the yacht, passes an offer to the owner and does not negotiate or manage the remainder of the transaction. Some sellers want exactly that. It is a defined service, but it is not what every seller’s broker offers. Guidance on selling a yacht commonly covers the stages after an offer as well; Horizon Yachts International describes deposit, survey and sea trial, and YachtWorld says a broker may arrange a survey and sea trial.
Before signing, 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 Kalamata Marina.

You do not need to find the right yacht alone. European Yacht Brokers helps buyers at Kalamata Marina shortlist boats, ask the right questions of listing brokers, negotiate, and organise the survey and sea trial, with a local broker nearby and a team that speaks your language.
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.
What does a buyer’s broker actually do? Published descriptions include research, negotiation, survey coordination, sea-trial arrangements and help with closing paperwork. Curtis Stokes & Associates mentions helping buyers research and preview yachts, prepare offers, negotiate and find surveyors and documentation support; HMY mentions coordinating survey and sea-trial stages, post-survey discussions and closing. Because the exact service varies, ask the broker which tasks it takes on and which remain your responsibility.
A buyer’s broker can be paid by an agreed share of the commission through a cooperating listing broker, or by a fee the buyer owes under a separate representation agreement; arrangements vary. The fee, duration, scope of authority and any exclusivity belong in writing before the search begins. This gives the purchaser a dedicated representative across a wider search, including when another brokerage lists the chosen yacht. Buyers weighing up boats close to Kalamata Marina should settle these points first.

A single point of contact can make a sale smoother, and that is what our full-service broker offers owners and buyers at Kalamata 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.
Here the broker also works directly with the buyer and acts for both sides. The Yacht Brokers Association of America calls this dual agency: a single broker representing both parties in one transaction. Do not confuse it with a listing broker who assists a buyer but is still appointed by the seller. A buyer should have the broker explain the relationship before an offer is made.
Consider what each party wants. The seller generally wants the strongest price and terms; the buyer wants a suitable yacht at a fair price and must make informed decisions about its condition. A broker representing both is not two independent representatives and cannot privately negotiate for each side as though it were. The YBAA stresses transparency and careful handling of confidential information. Legal rules and permitted arrangements vary by jurisdiction, so rely on the written agreement and applicable local advice.
A buyer should check whether any separate fee is owed, because although the commission is often addressed in the seller’s listing agreement, payment arrangements vary. Full-service describes the range of work; dual agency describes whom the broker represents. The two are different: a broker can offer extensive transaction support without representing both sides.
Our Greek operations are coordinated from the Athens head office, with brokers covering the coastal regions and many marinas across Greece. You speak first to the Athens team, who put you in touch with the broker responsible for your area. Thanks to the regional network, a broker can reach any Greek marina inside an hour, arrange a visit to your boat and provide a complimentary valuation.
Clients at Kalamata Marina in Kalamata, Peloponnese, 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.
Our Sales Mandate and Evaluation Sheet is where a valuation starts. We use the boat’s details and condition, study the market and prepare a precise valuation based on evidence, informed by sales data for boats worldwide over the past three years. It is an assessment of likely market value, not a guarantee of the price the boat will eventually sell for.
When you appoint us, the regional broker takes over the work of finding a buyer, or of helping you find the right boat, and guides you to completion and the successful transfer of funds. Boats are advertised on over 20 platforms across Europe, which gives them visibility beyond the Greek market; international buyers can often help secure a stronger price than local demand alone. And because our brokers speak six languages between them, we can connect you with someone who speaks your language.

Sometimes, but 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.
Some brokers working for buyers preview yachts or arrange remote viewings so the client can narrow the choice before travelling. Ask what service is included.
Not by default. A listing broker may help the buyer yet remain the seller’s representative. The written agreement decides.
Our network lets us arrange for a broker to reach any Greek marina in less than an hour, coordinated from the Athens head office.
Termination is possible at any time. If a buyer we introduced during the mandate buys the boat later, we are still entitled to our commission.
