Which yacht broker do you need at Vliho Yacht Club?
The difference in a nutshell: 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 Vliho Yacht Club you can choose any of the three, and the written agreement sets out exactly what is included.
Yacht brokerage is our business, 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 Vliho Yacht Club, in less than an hour. Tell us whether you want to sell, buy or have one broker for both, and we will take it from there.
When you sell with us, you appoint the seller’s broker for Vliho Yacht Club and we do the marketing: valuation, presentation, advertising, enquiries and viewings. The commission is just 5%. How much more we take on, such as negotiating or managing the later stages, is agreed with you in writing, and we explain it before you sign.
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.
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.
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 Vliho Yacht Club.

As your buyer’s broker at Vliho Yacht Club, we represent you rather than the seller. That means a dedicated representative across a wider search, including boats listed by other brokerages, with help preparing offers, coordinating inspections and keeping every step in writing.
The buyer’s broker represents the purchaser in the hunt for a yacht. A typical search starts by establishing the buyer’s plans, preferred yacht type, size, budget, location and priorities. The broker can research the market, identify boats worth considering, gather details from listing brokers, review available records and help the buyer compare. Previews and remote viewings are offered by some buyer brokers, so the client can 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.
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.
Payment varies. A buyer’s broker may be paid an agreed share of the commission through a cooperating listing broker, or the buyer may owe a fee under a separate representation agreement. Before the search begins, the buyer should have the fee, duration, scope of authority and any exclusivity in writing. The result is a dedicated representative across a wider search, even when the yacht you choose is listed by another brokerage. Buyers looking at yachts around Vliho Yacht Club should ask these questions before appointing anyone.

European Yacht Brokers offers full service at Vliho Yacht Club: 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.
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.
In this profile the broker also deals directly with the buyer and represents both buyer and seller, which the Yacht Brokers Association of America calls dual agency: one broker acting for both parties in the same transaction. A listing broker who merely helps a buyer with the sale, while still appointed by the seller, is a different thing. Before making an offer, a buyer should ask the broker to explain the relationship.
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.
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.
From our Athens head office we manage a network of brokers serving Greece’s coastal regions and many of its marinas. The first conversation is with the Athens team, who connect you with the broker for your area, and that broker can reach any Greek marina in under an hour, thanks to the network, to visit your boat and give a no-cost valuation.
Whichever Greek coast your boat lies on, there is a European Yacht Brokers delegate or agent in the region: Attica, Central Greece, Central Macedonia, Crete, Eastern Macedonia and Thrace, Epirus, the Ionian Islands, the North Aegean, the Peloponnese, the South Aegean, Thessaly or Western Greece. For Vliho Yacht Club in Lefkada Island, that means the broker for Ionian Islands, who can meet customers and see their boats quickly, with Athens coordinating.
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. Remember that a valuation assesses likely market value; it does not guarantee the eventual sale price.
Once you appoint us, your regional broker manages the work of finding a buyer or helping you find the right boat, and guides you through the transaction to completion and the successful transfer of funds. We advertise boats across over 20 platforms throughout Europe, giving them visibility beyond the Greek market, and reaching international buyers can often help secure a stronger price than relying on local demand alone. Our brokers speak six languages between them, so 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 Vliho Yacht Club that means Lefkada 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.
Vliho Yacht Club operates a marina with available berths and includes a restaurant and yacht charter services. Mechanical work at the site covers engines, generators, windlasses, winches, solar systems, sails, covers and upholstery.

The facility manages lifting and launching operations connected with the marina.

Reviews from European Yacht Brokers clients, as published on Google (5.0, European Yacht Brokers) and on our client pages.
The listing broker represents the seller. A buyer who contacts that broker should ask whom the broker represents and whether to have separate representation.
Some brokers acting for buyers preview yachts or arrange remote viewings so the client can narrow the choice before travelling. Ask what service is included.
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.
We can arrange for a broker to reach any Greek marina in less than an hour, coordinated from the Athens head office.
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.
