European Yacht Brokers, based in Athens, covers Mandraki Marina in Chios Island, North Aegean, with a local broker who can visit your boat quickly. We give a no-cost valuation, charge just 5% commission, advertise on over 20 international platforms, including YachtWorld, and speak six languages.

Which yacht broker do you need at Mandraki Marina?
There are three ways a yacht broker can work. On the selling side, the broker lists, advertises and presents offers. On the buying side, 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 Mandraki Marina depends on your plans.
Why choose us? We know this market. Our valuations draw on sales data for boats worldwide over the past three years, we advertise on over 20 international platforms, including YachtWorld, our brokers speak six languages, and we charge just 5% commission. At Mandraki Marina a local broker can visit your boat quickly, backed by our Athens head office. Get your free valuation and tell us which service you want.
At Mandraki 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.
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.
A limited service exists for sellers who need only a listing and marketing arrangement. Here the broker advertises the yacht and passes an offer to the owner, while negotiation and the rest of the transaction stay outside the broker’s responsibility. It is a legitimate, defined service, though not a description of every seller’s broker. Many guides include post-offer work: Horizon Yachts International sets out the deposit, survey and sea-trial stages, and YachtWorld says a broker may arrange the 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.
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 Mandraki Marina.

If you are buying around Mandraki Marina, European Yacht Brokers can act as your buyer’s broker. We discuss your plans, size, budget and priorities, research the market, help you compare boats and prepare your offer, and coordinate the survey and sea trial with the seller’s broker. Our brokers speak six languages, so you can deal with us in yours.
Appointing a buyer’s broker gives the purchaser a representative for the whole search. It can begin with a discussion of plans, yacht type, size, budget, location and priorities, after which the broker can research the market, identify boats, gather information from listing brokers, review records and help compare options. Some buyer brokers also preview yachts or arrange remote viewings, so the client narrows 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.
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.
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 Mandraki Marina, put these questions to every broker first.

A single point of contact can make a sale smoother, and that is what our full-service broker offers owners and buyers at Mandraki 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.
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.
The broker in this profile deals with the buyer directly as well, representing buyer and seller together. That is what the Yacht Brokers Association of America terms dual agency: one broker, both parties, the same transaction. A listing broker who simply helps a buyer while remaining the seller’s appointed representative is not the same. Before making an offer, ask the broker how the relationship works.
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.
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.
Athens is our head office and your first point of contact, and from there brokers serve the coastal regions and many marinas throughout Greece. The Athens team connect you with the broker responsible for your area, and our regional network means that broker can reach any Greek marina inside an hour to arrange a visit to your boat and provide a no-cost valuation.
Owners and buyers at Mandraki Marina, North Aegean, 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.
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.
A boat berthed at Mandraki Marina is a boat in Chios Island, North Aegean, and its surroundings are part of the sale. Buyers want to know what the marina offers, what the town is like and what there is to do nearby, so we set out what is known about the marina and the area.
Chios Island lies in the North Aegean and includes the Lagkada area, a northeast-Chios village with a history rooted in fishing and seafaring. This community is built around a narrow coastal inlet, reflecting its maritime past and continuing connection to the sea. Mandraki Marina is situated within this environment, offering access to the island’s longstanding traditions and landscape. The location’s layout and setting directly relate to its historical development and ongoing maritime culture on Chios Island.
Mandraki Marina provides access to local water, food, and restaurant services. Visitors can explore the waterfront and a number of local churches, while nearby beaches add to the leisure options available in the area. Excursions to Kardamyla and Oinousses are principal activities for guests staying on Chios Island. These features shape the experience for those involved in buying or selling a yacht in the North Aegean through this marina.
The European Yacht Brokers archive lists boats for sale Mandraki 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.
Mandraki Marina provides local shelter within the harbour, while the northeast coast and the Chios Strait often experience strong meltemi winds. The sailing season includes cruises to destinations such as Oinousses, Kardamyla, Chios Town, Lesbos and the Turkish coast. Boats from the marina commonly reach these locations during the season. The prevailing conditions require consideration of the stronger winds outside the harbour when planning passages.

Mandraki Marina is accessible through Chios Island National Airport (JKH). From there, relevant local travel arrangements can be made to reach the marina. Information on public transport and drive times is not provided.
Reviews from European Yacht Brokers clients, as published on Google (5.0, European Yacht Brokers) and on our client pages.
A listing broker is engaged by the owner to bring the yacht to market and seek a buyer: helping set an asking price, preparing the listing, advertising it, answering enquiries and arranging viewings.
The fee, the duration, the scope of the broker’s authority and any exclusivity should be recorded in writing before the search begins.
Not by default. A listing broker may help the buyer yet remain the seller’s representative. The written agreement decides.
Our brokers speak six languages between them, so we can put you in touch with a broker who speaks your language.
Yes. When an offer is accepted, we ask the buyer for a 10% deposit, paid into an escrow account, and the balance goes straight to the seller.
