Which yacht broker do you need at Port Kastos?
Three questions decide which yacht broker you need at Port Kastos. Are you selling? Then you want a seller’s broker, who markets the yacht and passes you the offers. Are you buying? Then you want a buyer’s broker, who researches the market and negotiates for you. Want one person to see the whole deal through? A full-service broker can do that and, if both parties agree in writing, represent both sides. Each one is set out below.
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 Ionian Islands; the valuation is free, the commission is just 5%, and your yacht reaches buyers on over 20 platforms across Europe. Tell us what you need and we will say how we can help at Port Kastos.
Here is what you get from us as a seller at Port Kastos: 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.
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.
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 Port Kastos.

If you are buying around Port Kastos, 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.
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.
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.
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.
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 Port Kastos should ask these questions before appointing anyone.

Full service means we take care of the details: valuation, listing, viewings, offers, contract, deposit, survey, sea trial and closing, with our Athens head office and a local broker behind you at Port Kastos. If you want us to act for both parties, the written agreement says so and explains how it works.
A broker offering full service can handle a sale from start to finish: assessing the yacht and its asking price, preparing photographs and particulars, advertising it, answering enquiries, arranging viewings and communicating offers, and then helping progress an accepted offer through contract, deposit, survey, sea trial and closing. Coordination of documentation, escrow arrangements, delivery or other practical details may be added. The listing and sale documents should state the precise service.
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.
Their interests are not the same: the seller generally wants the strongest price and terms, and the buyer wants a suitable yacht at a fair price with enough information to judge its condition. A broker acting for both cannot negotiate privately for each side as if there were two independent representatives. For that reason the YBAA discussion emphasises transparency about the arrangement and careful treatment of confidential information. Rules differ by jurisdiction, so the written agreement and applicable local advice should be relied on.
Payment arrangements vary, though the seller’s listing agreement often addresses the commission. The buyer should check whether they owe any separate fee. Two terms are easily confused: full-service describes the range of work, and dual agency describes whom the broker represents. A broker can give extensive transaction support while representing only one side.
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 valuation at no charge.
Clients at Port Kastos in Kastos Island, Ionian Islands, 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.
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.
Buyers rarely look only at the boat. They look at where it is kept, and at Port Kastos that means Kastos Island, in Ionian Islands. The notes below cover the marina, the town and the area around it, drawn from the marina’s own information and from local sources.

Kastos Island is a small, sparsely populated part of the Ionian Islands, featuring a principal waterfront village at Port Kastos. The island maintains a long tradition of fishing and small-scale agriculture. Those visiting may walk the village and island footpaths, explore the windmill and Fokotrypa cave, or swim from secluded coves around the coastline. The village serves as the main settlement and harbour on the island, reflecting the local culture and lifestyle borne from its history.
Port Kastos offers water and small-port tavernas, with limited supplies available seasonally. Shops and services are scarce, as there is no confirmed fuel station, chandlery, or significant repair facility. Visitors and yacht owners can find local home cooking in the tavernas, while exploring the few provisions offered within the village. Beaches and the island’s footpaths are accessible for activities, emphasising the simplicity of amenities on this Ionian Island.
Boats on the market near Port Kastos are published in the European Yacht Brokers archive after local brokers add and verify them. Buyers can ask for a wider search, and owners can have a boat shown to buyers who are searching in Kastos Island, in Ionian Islands and in nearby ports.
Port Kastos lies on the east coast and offers shelter in prevailing conditions, although strong easterly or southeasterly winds can cause discomfort in the harbour.

Boats departing from the marina often cruise to Kalamos, Mytikas, Meganisi, Ithaca and Lefkas during the sailing season.

Reviews from European Yacht Brokers clients, as published on Google (5.0, European Yacht Brokers) and on our client pages.
The seller is the one a listing broker represents. A buyer who contacts that broker should ask whom the broker represents and whether to have separate representation.
Some buyer brokers preview yachts or arrange remote viewings so the client can narrow the choice before travelling. Ask what service is included.
Not by default. A listing broker who helps a buyer with the sale may still be appointed to represent the seller. The written agreement decides.
We advertise boats across over 20 platforms throughout Europe, so they are visible beyond the Greek market.
Termination is possible at any time. If a buyer we introduced during the mandate buys the boat later, we are still entitled to our commission.
