Which yacht broker do you need at Khios Marina?
Three questions decide which yacht broker you need at Khios Marina. Are you selling? Then you want a seller’s broker, who markets the yacht and passes you the offers. Are you buying? Then you want a buyer’s broker, who researches the market and negotiates for you. Want one person to see the whole deal through? A full-service broker can do that and, if both parties agree in writing, represent both sides. Each one is set out below.
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%. Contact the Athens team and they will connect you with the broker for North Aegean.
Here is what you get from us as a seller at Khios Marina: 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.
Owners appoint a listing broker to market the yacht and look for a buyer. The work can include helping to decide an asking price, collecting the yacht’s details and photographs, preparing and advertising the listing, replying to enquiries and arranging viewings. The agreement between owner and broker should say whether the appointment is exclusive or open, its length, the commission payable and the services covered.
Not every seller wants a full service. Some ask only for listing and marketing: the broker advertises the yacht, passes any offer to the owner and does not take responsibility for negotiating or managing the rest of the sale. That can be a properly defined service, but it does not describe every seller’s broker. Sale guidance often covers the work after an offer too: Horizon Yachts International describes the deposit, survey and sea-trial stages, and YachtWorld notes that a broker may arrange a 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.
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 Khios Marina.

As your buyer’s broker at Khios Marina, 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.
After a yacht is chosen, the broker’s role is to help prepare and negotiate an offer, make the steps and deadlines clear and stay in touch with the seller’s listing broker. The transaction may include a purchase agreement, deposit and escrow, an independent marine survey, specialist inspections, a sea trial and talks after the inspections. The broker can help coordinate all this and keep people communicating; the assessment of the yacht itself belongs to the surveyor, because a 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.
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 Khios Marina, put these questions to every broker first.

Prefer one broker to manage everything? At Khios 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.
From the owner’s first call to completion, a full-service broker can manage the sale. That may mean assessing the yacht and the asking price, preparing photographs and particulars, advertising, dealing with enquiries, arranging viewings, communicating offers, and helping the parties move an accepted offer through contract, deposit, survey, sea trial and closing. Documentation, escrow arrangements, delivery and other practical details may be included too, depending on the agreement; the precise service belongs in the listing and sale documents.
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.
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.
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 valuation at no charge.
Clients at Khios Marina in Chios 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.
Start a valuation by downloading our Sales Mandate and Evaluation Sheet. From the boat’s details and condition we can study the market and produce a precise, evidence-based valuation, drawing on the sales data we hold for boats worldwide over the past three years. Remember that a valuation assesses likely market value; it does not guarantee the eventual sale price.
Once you appoint us, your regional broker manages the work of finding a buyer or helping you find the right boat, and guides you through the transaction to completion and the successful transfer of funds. We advertise boats across over 20 platforms throughout Europe, giving them visibility beyond the Greek market, and reaching international buyers can often help secure a stronger price than relying on local demand alone. Our brokers speak six languages between them, so we can connect you with someone who speaks yours.

Reviews from European Yacht Brokers clients, as published on Google (5.0, European Yacht Brokers) and on our client pages.
The listing agreement should say whether it is exclusive or open, how long it lasts and what commission is payable. We do not always ask for exclusivity.
No. The surveyor assesses the yacht and the broker does not replace an independent technical inspection, but the broker can help coordinate the survey and sea trial.
Not by default. A listing broker who helps a buyer with the sale may still be appointed to represent the seller. The written agreement decides.
We advertise boats across over 20 platforms throughout Europe, giving them visibility beyond the Greek market.
Yes. Once you accept an offer, we ask the buyer for a 10% deposit, paid into an escrow account, and the balance goes straight to the seller.
