Which yacht broker do you need at Mandraki Port (Kos Island)?
Not every yacht broker does the same work. For sellers, 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 Port (Kos Island) depends on your plans.
Whether you are listing a yacht or looking for one, you deal with brokers who know the process from the first enquiry to the transfer of funds. Our Athens head office connects you with a local broker for South Aegean; the valuation is free, the commission is just 5%, and your yacht reaches buyers on over 20 platforms across Europe. Let us know what you want and we will say how we can help at Mandraki Port (Kos Island).
Owners at Mandraki Port (Kos Island) who want to sell can appoint European Yacht Brokers as their seller’s broker. The local broker visits your boat, we value it free of charge, and then we put the yacht in front of buyers across Europe in six languages. Commission is just 5%, and we set out the scope of the service in writing.
Bringing a yacht to market is the listing broker’s job, and the owner makes the appointment. The broker may help set the asking price, collect specifications and photographs, prepare the listing, advertise the yacht, respond to enquiries and arrange viewings. Check that the listing agreement explains whether it is exclusive or open, how long it runs, what commission applies and which services are included.
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.
A seller should know exactly what the broker will and will not do. The questions to ask: 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; coordinate closing, payment and transfer documents? Where the answer is no, arrange separate professional help to complete those tasks.
In the listing relationship, the broker’s client is the seller. Buyers who contact that broker should ask whom it represents and whether separate representation is needed. Co-brokerage can bring in a buyer through another firm, and the two firms may share commission according to their agreement; the seller should confirm what this does to the fee and service in their own contract. In short, this is a seller’s listing broker with a deliberately limited scope, not a general definition of brokerage, and it applies just as much to a yacht lying at Mandraki Port (Kos Island).

Buying a yacht abroad is easier with someone on your side. At Mandraki Port (Kos Island), our buyer’s broker listens to what you want, finds suitable boats, helps you compare them and negotiate an offer, and keeps the survey, sea trial and closing moving. A local broker can reach any Greek marina in less than sixty minutes, and we speak six languages.
Buyers appoint a broker to act for them in finding and buying a yacht. Work begins with the buyer’s plans, preferred type, size, budget, location and priorities. The broker researches the market, identifies possible boats, asks the listing brokers for information, reviews the records that exist and helps the buyer compare options. A number of buyer brokers also preview yachts or arrange remote viewings, which helps the client narrow the field before travelling.
The next stage starts when the buyer settles on a yacht. The broker can help prepare and negotiate an offer, explain the steps and deadlines, and coordinate with the seller’s listing broker through the purchase agreement, deposit and escrow arrangements, independent marine survey, specialist inspections, sea trial and any discussions that follow the inspections. Keeping everyone in communication is part of the job. Assessing the yacht is the surveyor’s job; 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 Mandraki Port (Kos Island), put these questions to every broker first.

European Yacht Brokers offers full service at Mandraki Port (Kos Island): valuation, advertising, viewings, offers and the steps to completion, handled by one team in six languages. Representing both sides is possible by written agreement, which sets out what is included and how the arrangement works.
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.
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.
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.
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 within the hour, and the local broker can arrange a visit to your boat and provide a free valuation.
Owners and buyers at Mandraki Port (Kos Island), South Aegean, deal with the broker for that area, and the same applies along the rest of the Greek coast.

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.

Your regional broker does the work once you appoint us: finding the buyer or the right boat, and guiding you through the transaction to completion and the successful transfer of funds. Boats go onto over 20 platforms throughout Europe, giving them visibility beyond Greece, and an international audience can often help secure a stronger price than relying on local demand alone. With six languages spoken among our brokers, we can connect you with someone who speaks yours.
Selling or buying at Mandraki Port (Kos Island)? Knowing the marina and Kos Island helps both sides. For the seller it shows what attracts buyers to a boat kept here; for the buyer it shows what to expect around the berth. Here is what is known about the marina and about Kos Island, in South Aegean.
Mandraki is the historic harbour of Kos Town, situated beside the Castle of the Knights and adjacent to the ancient and Ottoman centre of the island.

Reviews from European Yacht Brokers clients, as published on Google (5.0, European Yacht Brokers) and on our client pages.
Not always. Some sellers take a limited service in which the broker advertises the yacht and passes offers to the owner, while other agreements also cover negotiation, survey, sea trial and closing. Ask before you sign.
The fee, the duration, the scope of the broker’s authority and any exclusivity should be recorded in writing before the search begins.
The seller generally wants the strongest price and terms, while the buyer wants a suitable yacht at a fair price. A broker representing both cannot negotiate privately for each side as if there were two independent representatives, so the arrangement and the handling of confidential information should be clear.
Our brokers speak six languages between them, so someone who speaks your language can be found for you.
Use our Sales Mandate and Evaluation Sheet and send us the boat’s details and condition; your regional broker can then arrange a visit to your boat.
