YACHT BROKERS
Free valuation · only 5% commission
If you are choosing yacht brokers Patitíri, 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 Patitíri, with a valuation at no charge, a commission of just 5% and a local broker for Thessaly supported from Athens.

Which yacht broker do you need at Patitíri?
When you are selling, you need a broker who works for you: someone to value, list and advertise the yacht and bring you offers. If you are the buyer, 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 Patitíri.
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 Thessaly; the valuation is free, the commission is just 5%, and your yacht reaches buyers on over 20 platforms across Europe. Say what you need and we will say how we can help at Patitíri.
Here is what you get from us as a seller at Patitíri: 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.
A seller’s listing broker works for the owner, seeking a buyer for the yacht. Depending on the agreement, the broker can assist with an asking price, the specifications and photographs, the listing itself, advertising, enquiries and viewings. A good listing agreement makes four things clear: whether the appointment is exclusive or open, how long it lasts, what commission is payable and what services the broker has agreed to provide.
Some owners choose a listing and marketing service and nothing more. The broker then advertises the yacht, hands any offer to the owner and takes no responsibility for negotiating or managing what follows. This can work as a clearly defined service, but it should not be taken as the standard seller’s broker. Published guidance usually includes work after the offer, with Horizon Yachts International describing the deposit, survey and sea-trial stages and YachtWorld explaining that a broker may arrange a survey and sea trial.
The handover point matters, so ask before you sign. Who negotiates price and conditions? Who prepares or explains the paperwork? Who tracks deadlines and contingencies, arranges survey and sea-trial access, and coordinates closing, payment and the transfer documents? Tasks the broker leaves out may need 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 Patitíri.

You do not need to find the right yacht alone. European Yacht Brokers helps buyers at Patitíri 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.
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.
With a yacht identified, the broker can prepare and negotiate the offer with the buyer, explain the transaction’s steps and deadlines and work with the seller’s listing broker. The process may bring a purchase agreement, deposit and escrow arrangements, an independent marine survey, specialist inspections, a sea trial and more discussions afterwards. The broker can coordinate those steps and keep communication moving. The independent technical inspection is the surveyor’s work, and the broker does not replace it.
Brokerages describe buyer services that cover research, negotiation, survey coordination, sea-trial arrangements and help with closing documentation. Curtis Stokes & Associates, for instance, describes helping buyers research and preview yachts, prepare offers, negotiate, and find surveyors and documentation support, while HMY describes coordinating the survey and sea-trial stages, discussions after the survey and closing. Services differ, so the buyer should ask what the broker will handle and what stays with the buyer.
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 Patitíri, put these questions to every broker first.

Prefer one broker to manage everything? At Patitíri our full-service broker handles the sale from assessing the yacht to closing and, if the parties agree in writing, represents both buyer and seller. The arrangement is written down so that each side knows whom the broker acts for.
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.
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.
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.
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 no-cost valuation.
Coverage is by region. For Patitíri in Alonissos Island the broker is the one for Thessaly; elsewhere our delegates and agents 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. They can speak to customers and visit their boats at short notice, with the Athens head office keeping everything coordinated.
Our Sales Mandate and Evaluation Sheet is where a valuation starts. We use the boat’s details and condition, study the market and prepare a precise valuation based on evidence, informed by sales data for boats worldwide over the past three years. It is an assessment of likely market value, not a guarantee of the price the boat will eventually sell for.
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 Patitíri? Knowing the marina and Alonissos 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 Alonissos Island, in Thessaly.
Patitíri became the principal settlement on Alonissos Island following the 1965 earthquake that damaged the old hill village. The island itself is part of Thessaly and offers several points of interest including the old hilltop Alonissos village and the Underwater Museum. Access to local beaches is available by bus, scooter or boat, while restaurants and shops are situated along the port, reflecting the settlement’s role as a central hub for both residents and visitors. The island’s history and landscape provide a setting that mixes coastal activity with the remnants of older habitation.
The small harbour at Patitíri is particularly busy at weekends and provides a variety of services including water, food supplies, pharmacies, and arrangements for fuel. Several restaurants and shops operate within the port area. Principal attractions include the National Marine Park information centre, a local museum, and boat trips that explore the marine park. Access to ferries is also provided from the port, while nearby beaches and the old village offer further opportunities for exploration on land.
Boats for sale Patitíri are published in the European Yacht Brokers archive as local brokers add and verify them. Buyers who want more choice can ask the broker for the area to search beyond the published list, while an owner can have a boat shown to buyers searching in this area and in nearby ports.
Patitíri harbour is protected yet busy, with ferries and excursion boats regularly navigating the area. It can experience strong southeasterly winds that affect sea conditions. The marina serves as a base for cruising around Alonissos, Peristera and within the National Marine Park of Alonissos and Northern Sporades. Nearby bays and islands are suited to day trips, swimming and wildlife excursions.
Yachts from Patitíri may also cruise to Skopelos, Skiathos, Kyra Panagia, Peristera and Skyros, subject to marine park regulations. The sailing season centres on these cruising grounds, with routes managed according to the existing national park rules.

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.
Some brokers working for buyers preview yachts or arrange remote viewings so the client can narrow the choice before travelling. Ask what service is included.
Often the commission sits in the seller’s listing agreement, but payment arrangements vary, so a buyer should check whether any separate fee is owed.
Our commission is merely 5% and the valuation is free.
We study the market using the sales data available to us for boats worldwide over the past three years and prepare an evidence-based valuation. It is an assessment of likely market value, rather than a guarantee of the sale price.
