Which yacht broker do you need at Kassiopi Harbour?
Yacht brokers work in three different ways. On the selling side, the broker lists, advertises and presents offers. For buyers, the broker searches, compares and negotiates on the buyer’s behalf. And a full-service broker can take charge of the transaction from start to finish, representing both parties only where this is agreed in writing and explained openly. Which one suits you at Kassiopi Harbour depends on your plans.
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 Kassiopi Harbour quickly. Ask for a valuation below, or call or WhatsApp +30 698 013 5656.
Here is what you get from us as a seller at Kassiopi Harbour: a free, evidence-based valuation, a listing prepared with photographs and full particulars, advertising on over 20 international platforms including YachtWorld, replies to every enquiry and arranged viewings. We charge 5% and spell out in the agreement exactly which services are included.
A seller’s listing broker works for the owner, seeking a buyer for the yacht. As the agreement provides, 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.
Some owners choose a listing and marketing service and nothing more. The broker then advertises the yacht, hands any offer to the owner and takes no responsibility for negotiating or managing what follows. This can work as a clearly defined service, but it should not be taken as the standard seller’s broker. Published guidance usually includes work after the offer, with Horizon Yachts International describing the deposit, survey and sea-trial stages and YachtWorld explaining that a broker may arrange a survey and sea trial.
Check the handover point before you sign. Does the broker negotiate price and conditions, help with the paperwork, keep track of deadlines and contingencies, arrange access for the survey and sea trial, and coordinate closing, payment and transfer documents? Should some of these be excluded, the seller may need separate professional help.
A listing broker represents the seller. Buyers dealing with that broker directly need to ask whom it represents and whether they should have separate representation. Where another broker introduces the buyer, a co-brokerage arrangement may apply and the firms may split commission as agreed. The seller should confirm the effect on the fee and service in their own contract. That is why this profile describes a seller’s listing broker with limited scope rather than yacht brokerage as a whole, including for a boat berthed at Kassiopi Harbour.

As your buyer’s broker at Kassiopi Harbour, we represent you rather than the seller. That means a dedicated representative across a wider search, including boats listed by other brokerages, with help preparing offers, coordinating inspections and keeping every step in writing.
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.
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 Kassiopi Harbour should settle these points first.

Prefer one broker to manage everything? At Kassiopi Harbour 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.
Full service describes a broker who can look after the whole sale. After the first conversation with the owner the work may include assessing the yacht and asking price, photographs and particulars, advertising, enquiries, viewings and the communication of offers, then helping both parties move an accepted offer through the contract, deposit, survey, sea trial and closing. The broker may also coordinate documentation, escrow, delivery and other details. Set the precise service out in the listing and sale documents.
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.
Buyer and seller want different things. Generally the seller seeks the strongest price and terms, while the buyer wants a suitable yacht at a fair price and has to make informed decisions about its condition. One broker for both cannot negotiate privately for each side as two independent representatives would. The YBAA discussion stresses transparency about the arrangement and careful handling of confidential information. Because the rules and permitted arrangements vary by jurisdiction, the parties should rely on the written agreement and local advice.
Check who pays what. The commission is often addressed in the seller’s listing agreement, yet arrangements vary and a buyer should find out whether a separate fee is owed. Full-service is about how much work the broker does; dual agency is about whom the broker represents. Extensive support through a transaction does not mean the broker represents 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 in under an hour, arrange a visit to your boat and provide a no-cost valuation.
Coverage is by region. For Kassiopi Harbour in Kassiopi the broker is the one for Ionian Islands; elsewhere our delegates and agents cover 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.

You can begin by downloading the Sales Mandate and Evaluation Sheet. With the boat’s details and condition in front of us, we study the market and prepare a precise, evidence-based valuation, informed by three years of sales data for boats worldwide.

Your boat is advertised on over 20 platforms throughout Europe, giving visibility beyond the Greek market, and international buyers can often help secure a stronger price than local demand alone. Our brokers speak six languages between them, so we can connect you with someone who speaks your language.
