YACHT BROKERS
Free valuation · only 5% commission
If you are choosing yacht brokers Limin Kerkira, start with the question that matters most: who do you want the broker to represent? A seller’s broker brings your yacht to market; a buyer’s broker finds and negotiates a purchase for you; a full-service broker can handle both sides when that is agreed in writing. European Yacht Brokers offers all three at Limin Kerkira, with a no-cost valuation, a commission of just 5% and a local broker for Ionian Islands supported from Athens.

Which yacht broker do you need at Limin Kerkira?
If you are selling, you need a broker who works for you: someone to value, list and advertise the yacht and bring you offers. When you are 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 Limin Kerkira.
Yacht brokerage is what we know, 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 Limin Kerkira, inside an hour. Tell us whether you want to sell, buy or have one broker for both, and we will take it from there.
When you sell with us, you appoint the seller’s broker for Limin Kerkira 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.
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.
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.
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.
Under the listing relationship the broker represents the seller. A buyer who approaches that broker directly should ask whom the broker represents and whether to have separate representation. Buyers may also arrive through another broker under a co-brokerage arrangement, where the firms may share commission as they agree between themselves, so the seller should confirm in their own contract how this affects the fee and the service. Taken together, this describes a seller’s listing broker with a deliberately limited scope, not yacht brokerage in general. The same applies to a boat kept at Limin Kerkira.

You do not need to find the right yacht alone. European Yacht Brokers helps buyers at Limin Kerkira 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.
A buyer’s broker is engaged to represent the purchaser throughout the search and purchase. The first step can be a discussion of what the buyer wants: yacht type, size, budget, location and priorities. The broker can then study the market, pick out possible boats, gather information from the listing brokers, check the available records and help the buyer weigh up the choices. Some also preview yachts or set up remote viewings, so the client can shortlist before making a journey.
Once a particular yacht is selected, the broker can assist with preparing and negotiating the offer, explaining the process and its deadlines, and coordinating with the seller’s listing broker. Typical stages are a purchase agreement, deposit and escrow arrangements, an independent marine survey, specialist inspections, a sea trial and follow-up discussions. Coordination and communication are the broker’s contribution; the surveyor assesses the yacht, and the broker is no substitute for 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.
Fees differ. The buyer’s broker may receive an agreed share of the commission through a cooperating listing broker, or the buyer may owe a fee under a separate representation agreement, so establish the fee, duration, scope of authority and any exclusivity in writing before the search begins. In return the buyer has a dedicated representative across a wider search, whichever brokerage lists the chosen yacht. Anyone considering a yacht near Limin Kerkira should ask these questions before appointing a broker.

At Limin Kerkira, European Yacht Brokers can act as a full-service broker: one team that looks after the sale from the first conversation to the transfer of funds. Where you want us to represent both buyer and seller, the arrangement is set out in writing for both parties.
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.
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.
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.
The commission is often dealt with in the seller’s listing agreement, but payment arrangements vary, so a buyer should check whether any separate fee is owed. Remember that full-service describes the range of work, while dual agency describes whom the broker represents. A broker can offer extensive transaction support 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 within the hour, thanks to the network, to visit your boat and give a valuation free of charge.
Owners and buyers at Limin Kerkira, Ionian Islands, deal with the broker for that area, and the same applies along the rest of the Greek coast. Our agents and delegates 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, and they can talk to customers and visit their boats quickly, working with the Athens head office.
A valuation starts with the boat’s details and condition: download our Sales Mandate and Evaluation Sheet and we will study the market for you. The result is a precise, evidence-based valuation informed by the sales data available to us for boats worldwide over the past three years, and it is an assessment of likely market value rather than a guarantee of the 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.
