Which yacht broker do you need at Marina Porto Heli?
What separates them: 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 Marina Porto Heli you can choose any of the three, and the written agreement sets out exactly what is included.
This is our specialist field, and we make it easy: a valuation at no charge, a commission of just 5%, over 20 international platforms including YachtWorld, six languages and a local broker who can reach any Greek marina, including Marina Porto Heli, in less than sixty minutes. Tell us whether you want to sell, buy or have one broker for both, and we will take it from there.
Here is what you get from us as a seller at Marina Porto Heli: 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.
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.
Before signing, 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.
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 Marina Porto Heli.

Tell us the type, size, budget and area you have in mind and our buyer’s broker will start the search for you around Marina Porto Heli. We guide you through the offer, deposit and escrow, survey, sea trial and closing, and you always know what we will handle and what remains yours.
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.
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 Marina Porto Heli, 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 Marina Porto Heli. 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.
Dual agency means one broker represents both parties in the same transaction, as the Yacht Brokers Association of America describes it. In this profile the broker deals directly with the buyer and represents buyer and seller alike. It differs from a listing broker who helps a buyer with the sale but remains appointed to represent the seller. Ask the broker to explain the relationship before you make an offer.
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.
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.
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 in less than sixty minutes to arrange a visit to your boat and provide a no-cost valuation.
Clients at Marina Porto Heli in Porto Heli, Peloponnese, 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.
When you appoint us, the regional broker takes over the work of finding a buyer, or of helping you find the right boat, and guides you to completion and the successful transfer of funds. Boats are advertised on over 20 platforms across Europe, which gives them visibility beyond the Greek market; international buyers can often help secure a stronger price than local demand alone. And because our brokers speak six languages between them, we can connect you with someone who speaks your language.

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.
Payment varies. The 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.
Not by default. Helping a buyer does not by itself change whom a listing broker represents. The written agreement decides.
We can arrange for a broker to reach any Greek marina in less than an hour, coordinated from the Athens head office.
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.
