Which yacht broker do you need at Livadi Harbour?
If 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 buying, 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 Livadi Harbour.
You are not just buying a service from us; you are using the experience behind it. European Yacht Brokers values boats from sales data covering the past three years worldwide, handles the contract, the legal side and the transfer of ownership, asks buyers for a 10% deposit paid into escrow, and charges just 5%. Contact the Athens team and they will connect you with the broker for South Aegean.
Selling a yacht kept at Livadi Harbour? Our seller’s broker takes the work off you: a valuation free of charge, photographs and particulars, advertising on over 20 international platforms, the enquiries and the viewings. The agreement says what is included, how long it lasts and what commission is payable (just 5%), so there are no surprises.
A seller’s listing broker works for the owner, seeking a buyer for the yacht. Under the terms agreed, 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.
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.
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.
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 Livadi Harbour.

Tell us the type, size, budget and area you have in mind and our buyer’s broker will start the search for you around Livadi Harbour. 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.
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.
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.
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 Livadi Harbour, 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 Livadi Harbour. 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.
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.
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.
Commission is often covered in the seller’s listing agreement, but not always in the same way, so a buyer should confirm whether any separate fee is owed. Keep the terms apart: full-service refers to the range of work, dual agency to the parties represented. Extensive transaction support is possible without representing both sides.
Our Greek operations are coordinated from the Athens head office, with brokers covering the coastal regions and many marinas across Greece. You speak first to the Athens team, who put you in touch with the broker responsible for your area. Thanks to the regional network, a broker can reach any Greek marina in under an hour, arrange a visit to your boat and provide a valuation free of charge.
Coverage is by region. For Livadi Harbour in Livadi (Serifos) the broker is the one for South Aegean; 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.
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.
Selling or buying at Livadi Harbour? Knowing the marina and Livadi (Serifos) 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 Livadi (Serifos), in South Aegean.
Livadi is the main port of Serifos, positioned beneath the island’s fortified hill town. The area reflects Serifos’s maritime and mining past, with paths from Livadi’s quays leading up to Chora where Venetian-castle ruins provide extensive views. Close to Livadi Harbour, it is possible to visit beaches such as Livadakia and Avlomonas, or travel by boat to Ganema and Kalo Ampeli. The island’s heritage is also evident at old mining sites and along several coastal paths that reveal elements of its industrial history within the South Aegean region.
Livadi offers a range of amenities including supermarkets, pharmacies, ATMs, and provision access. Fuel can be arranged here, with water and restaurant options available alongside several waterfront tavernas and cafés. Ferry services operate from Livadi Harbour and local boat transport is offered at Avlomonas. Visitors or residents can explore local shops and accommodation within the village or consider cultural visits to Chora, its Archaeological Collection, and the old mines found at Megalo Livadi, complemented by the choice of island walking trails and various beaches.

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 set out 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. One broker cannot privately negotiate for each side as two independent representatives would, 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.
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. The valuation assesses likely market value and does not guarantee the eventual sale price.
