Which yacht broker do you need at Limnia Marina?
The difference in a nutshell: a seller’s broker works for the owner and brings the yacht to market; a buyer’s broker works for the purchaser and finds, compares and negotiates; a full-service broker handles the sale from the first conversation to completion and, if you agree it in writing, can act for both sides. At Limnia Marina you can choose any of the three, and the written agreement sets out exactly what is included.
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 Limnia Marina quickly. Start with the valuation below, or call or WhatsApp +30 698 013 5656.
Here is what you get from us as a seller at Limnia 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.
The owner appoints a seller’s listing broker to take the yacht to market and find a buyer. Typical help includes agreeing an asking price, gathering the specifications and photographs, preparing the listing, advertising the yacht, answering enquiries and arranging viewings. The listing agreement should state whether the appointment is exclusive or open, its duration, the commission payable and the services the broker has agreed to provide.
Sellers who want only a listing and marketing service can have one. The broker advertises the yacht and passes an offer to the owner but takes no responsibility for negotiation or for managing the rest of the transaction. That is a valid, defined service, yet it should not be assumed to apply to every seller’s broker, because yacht sale guidance usually includes the work that follows an offer: Horizon Yachts International covers the deposit, survey and sea-trial stages, and YachtWorld explains that a broker may arrange a survey and sea trial.
Be clear, before signing, about what the broker takes on. Negotiating price and conditions, preparing or explaining paperwork, tracking deadlines and contingencies, arranging survey and sea-trial access, coordinating closing, payment and transfer documents: each is either included or it is not, and any that are excluded may call for separate professional help.
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 Limnia Marina.

As your buyer’s broker at Limnia 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.
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.
Brokerages that offer buyer services list research, negotiation, survey coordination, sea-trial arrangements and closing-documentation help among them. Curtis Stokes & Associates describes 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. The precise scope varies from one broker to another, so settle with yours what it will handle and what you will.
Payment is not the same everywhere. Either the buyer’s broker receives an agreed share of the commission through a cooperating listing broker, or the buyer owes a fee under a separate representation agreement. Put the fee, duration, scope of authority and any exclusivity in writing before the search begins. The purchaser then has a dedicated representative across a wider search, even where another brokerage holds the listing. Purchasers searching near Limnia Marina should ask these questions before appointing anyone.

A single point of contact can make a sale smoother, and that is what our full-service broker offers owners and buyers at Limnia 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.
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.
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.
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.
European Yacht Brokers directs its Greek operations from Athens, with brokers serving coastal regions and many marinas throughout the country. Start with the Athens team, who will connect you with the broker responsible for your area. The regional network lets us arrange for a broker to reach any Greek marina within the hour; the local broker can arrange a visit to your boat and provide a free valuation.
Clients at Limnia 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.
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. Note that a valuation is an assessment of likely market value; the eventual sale price is not guaranteed.
After appointment, your regional broker handles finding a buyer, or the right boat for you, and guides you through the transaction to completion and the successful transfer of funds. We advertise across over 20 platforms throughout Europe so boats are seen beyond the Greek market, and reaching international buyers can often help secure a stronger price than relying on local demand alone. Six languages are spoken between our brokers, so someone can talk to you in yours.
Where a yacht is kept shapes how it sells, and for boats at Limnia Marina that place is Chios Island in North Aegean. The notes below summarise the marina’s facilities, the town, its history and what there is to do.
Limnia Marina lies on the west coast of Volissos, a medieval village distinguished by its hilltop castle. This location on Chios Island offers access to the island’s principal sights including Volissos and other destinations in the North Aegean region. The harbour provides a point of entry to explore the character and history of the surrounding area while remaining connected to the wider island environment.
Activities near Limnia include visits to Volissos Castle, Managros beach, Agia Markella monastery and the villages to the north-west of Chios. The marina itself offers water and electricity on the south-east quay, with fuel services available from outside Volissos except on Sundays. Limnia also has several tavernas and supplies on a seasonal basis, though pharmacies, banking, fuel, repairs and fuller shopping require travel to larger settlements on Chios. Car rental assistance is available through Ta Limnia.
The European Yacht Brokers archive lists boats for sale Limnia Marina as local brokers add and verify them. A buyer’s broker can look further than the published list, and an owner can put a boat in front of buyers searching around Chios Island and in nearby ports.
Limnia Marina offers shelter behind its breakwaters; however, the west coast can experience strong northwesterly winds and swell. The marina is one of several on Chios and may be combined with the island’s listed anchorages. Vessels based at Limnia can access Psara, Oinousses, Chios Town and the western and northern parts of the Chios coastline.

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. Whether we ask for exclusivity is decided case by case.
No. The surveyor assesses the yacht and the broker does not replace an independent technical inspection, but a buyer’s broker can help arrange the survey and sea trial.
The seller’s listing agreement often addresses the commission, but payment arrangements vary, so a buyer should check whether any separate fee is owed.
Our brokers speak six languages between them, so someone who speaks your language can be found for you.
It is handled by us. We organise the contract, the legal side and the transfer of ownership, so you have nothing to do.
