IN BRIEF

Yacht Broker Dodecanese

Owners in Dodecanese can use EYB’s coordinated sale process: central management, local knowledge, professionally prepared documents, broad promotion and buyer follow-up in relevant languages.

Selling your boat in Dodecanese

Start by contacting EYB head office with the boat’s location, model, year, condition and your plans. The team discusses the vessel and prepares an initial valuation from the information available. That assessment opens a conversation about a realistic asking price and the likely sale approach.

Before promotion begins, you and EYB agree the mandate and sale terms. The commission is a flat 5%, recorded in the mandate so you can review it alongside the other agreed conditions.

Head office then coordinates communication and next steps. The initial valuation is a starting assessment, not a guarantee of a final sale price; offers and final terms remain subject to agreement between seller and buyer.

Local brokers and international buyers

A sale involves people in more than one place. EYB head office organises the campaign and keeps track of enquiries, offers and agreed next steps; a local broker familiar with Dodecanese can assist with local questions and viewing logistics.

That local input adds context for a buyer who has not visited the marina. The support can help explain where the vessel is kept and coordinate an appointment, while the owner retains control over access and offer decisions.

EYB’s Mediterranean network helps the listing reach clients outside the immediate area. Central coordination connects that wider audience with accurate local information and a consistent sales process.

Legal support for the transaction

A qualified lawyer supports the transaction from its written instruction to completion. EYB’s lawyer prepares the sales mandate, draws up the sale contract and deals with registration and other relevant administrative requirements.

The mandate is where the owner and EYB record the sale appointment and its terms. The contract later documents the arrangement accepted by the buyer and seller. Both are prepared for the particular transaction rather than treated as interchangeable paperwork.

For owners selling in Dodecanese, the lawyer can work with the vessel records and details provided during the sale. This legal support sits alongside the broker’s and sales team’s work; it does not replace independent professional advice where a party needs it.

Marketing built around the boat

To reach buyers beyond the home marina, EYB’s marketing department uses SEO, social channels and relevant boat-sale platforms in national and international markets.

The material is built around the boat rather than generic promotional claims. Specifications, equipment, condition and owner-supplied history are combined with photographs and a precise location in Dodecanese. That gives prospective buyers a useful first view before they contact the sales team.

The campaign can be adjusted as the sale develops. Marketing staff coordinate with sales colleagues to update confirmed information, respond to interest and keep the listing aligned with the owner’s agreed instructions.

A multilingual sales team

The sales team turns interest into a managed conversation. It responds to prospective buyers, gathers questions, coordinates viewings and supports price and condition discussions in the relevant languages.

Local support can assist when a buyer wants to visit a boat berthed in Dodecanese. The team checks availability with the owner and helps arrange an appointment, then follows up after the visit if the buyer needs further information.

If an offer is made, EYB helps the parties communicate clearly about the proposed terms. The seller remains responsible for deciding whether the offer is acceptable and agreeing the final conditions.

Brokerage requirements in Greece

Greece regulates ship-brokerage offices: an operator must complete the Ministry of Tourism notification procedure and obtain the required certificate of legal conditions before operating in Dodecanese. The published procedure includes office requirements and a state guarantee. Check the vessel’s applicable register before contracting: AADE’s Register of Ships covers private recreational boats under the Greek flag as well as specified commercial craft.

For the ownership-transfer procedure, the official administrative record lists a private bill of sale with the seller’s and buyer’s signatures certified by a public authority or through gov.gr. The office notification requirements and the vessel transfer are separate administrative steps. The official procedure is administered through the Ministry of Tourism and the competent regional service. The buyer must still complete the vessel-record step after purchase.

EYB arranges local brokerage support in line with these requirements, and its qualified lawyer prepares the sale contract and handles registration. Compare the seller’s title with the vessel and register details, then retain signed copies of the completed file. EUGO, operation of a ship-brokerage office

Buying a yacht in Dodecanese

If you are looking for a boat in Dodecanese, tell EYB the type of boat, your budget and the stretch of coast you prefer. The sales team replies in the relevant languages and puts you in touch with the right local support.

The sales team coordinates enquiries and viewing requests with the owner and local support near the boat’s port in Dodecanese. The parties can arrange an independent survey and, if agreed, a sea trial. Timing depends on access, availability and the seller’s approval; the surveyor is independent and the parties agree the scope and practical arrangements in advance.

When you make an offer, EYB passes it to the owner and helps both sides agree the price and conditions. The lawyer then prepares the sale contract, and the purchase moves to deposit and completion, set out below.

Deposit and completion

EYB’s process provides for a 10% deposit from the buyer into escrow. The parties’ contract should make the holder, release conditions and other relevant payment terms clear before they proceed.

When all conditions agreed for the sale have been satisfied, the balance is transferred directly to the seller. Completion follows the transaction documents, with EYB helping the parties keep to the agreed sequence.

Seller's checklist

  • Gather the ownership documents, registration papers and tax status.
  • Collect invoices, manuals and the maintenance history.
  • Prepare an up-to-date inventory of equipment.
  • Agree the mandate, asking price and viewing arrangements in writing.
  • Have the boat clean, tidy and ready to demonstrate its systems.
  • Weigh every offer with written conditions and clear timings.
  • Arrange secure payment and handover with a signed record.

“This is only the second time I’ve ever written a review. But European Yacht Brokers truly deserve it for their comprehensive service. They guided us step-by-step through the entire purchase process abroad. Sara, in particular, provided us with expert feedback at all times and guided us through the boat buying experience. Whether our future boat needed an inspection, maintenance, or technical modifications, Sara and her team on-site handled everything efficiently and without unnecessary bureaucracy. We found European Yacht Brokers to be open and honest brokers. They offer everything from a single source, and we would gladly use their services again if needed.”
