IN BRIEF

Yacht Broker Thessaloniki

Owners in Thessaloniki 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 Thessaloniki

To begin, contact EYB head office and describe the boat, its equipment, history, condition and location in Thessaloniki. The team will discuss your objectives and make an initial valuation using the information provided.

You can then review the proposed sale approach and agree the mandate with EYB. The commission is a flat 5%; the written mandate records that figure and the other agreed terms before the listing is promoted.

The valuation informs the conversation about price, but the accepted offer and completion terms are decided by the buyer and seller.

Local brokers and international buyers

The boat stays rooted in its own harbour, but its potential buyers may live elsewhere. EYB coordinates the sale from head office and uses local brokerage support in Thessaloniki when a buyer needs location-specific information or wants to inspect the vessel.

The central team connects marketing, legal administration, the seller and interested clients. Local support can help make a visit practical and answer questions about the boat’s immediate setting without taking decisions away from the owner.

This arrangement combines access to buyers across EYB’s Mediterranean network with someone familiar with the relevant area. Enquiries, negotiation and next steps are followed up centrally.

The people handling your sale

Legal support for the transaction

The legal department has a qualified lawyer who prepares the mandate and the contract used for the boat sale. The lawyer also handles registration and other administrative steps relevant to the transaction.

The owner first reviews the mandate, which captures the sale terms agreed with EYB. If an offer is accepted, the sale contract reflects the conditions agreed between the buyer and seller. The paperwork follows the facts of that boat and transaction.

In Thessaloniki, the same legal support applies to the boat’s sale, with administration handled for the specific vessel. The lawyer coordinates the required documents with the parties as the transaction progresses.

Marketing built around the boat

EYB’s marketing department promotes boats through current SEO and social media techniques, together with relevant national and international sales platforms.

The presentation starts with accurate specifications and a clear account of the boat’s condition, equipment and history. Photographs and listing text should help a buyer understand the vessel and why its location in Thessaloniki is relevant. The team can use the information supplied by the owner to prepare a listing suited to the boat and the audience.

Promotion is coordinated with sales, so the team can respond when buyers ask for further details or a viewing. Updates can be made when new information or images become available.

A multilingual sales team

Multilingual communication is part of the sales process. EYB’s team handles enquiries from prospective buyers, organises viewings and supports negotiation through to the agreed next steps.

The team works with the owner to answer questions about a boat in Thessaloniki and coordinate a visit. Where local help is useful, it can support arrangements at the boat’s port. The buyer receives follow-up from the sales team after making an enquiry or attending a viewing.

Price, timing and conditions are discussed with the seller. EYB facilitates those discussions, but the owner decides whether to proceed with an offer.

Brokerage requirements in Greece

Greek law places ship-brokerage offices under a specific operating procedure administered through the Ministry of Tourism, including a certificate of legal requirements and a financial guarantee. The boat’s flag and use determine the register relevant to the transfer, and AADE describes its register as including Greek-flagged private recreational vessels. Thessaloniki follows these national requirements. EUGO, operation of a ship-brokerage office

The Greek administrative procedure identifies a signed private sale contract as evidence of transfer and requires both parties’ signatures to be authenticated by the public authority or gov.gr. Office approval and vessel ownership recording are distinct obligations under the published procedures. The Ministry of Tourism assigns this notification process to its regional tourism services. The purchaser should finish the separate ownership-record update. Greek National Registry of Administrative Procedures, transfer of vessel ownership

In Thessaloniki, EYB arranges local brokerage support consistent with these requirements, while a qualified lawyer prepares the contract of sale and handles registration. Keep a file linking the seller, the identified craft and its registration record. EUGO, operation of a ship-brokerage office

Buying a yacht in Thessaloniki

If you are looking for a boat in Thessaloniki, 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 Thessaloniki. 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

The agreed payment sequence starts with a 10% buyer deposit paid into escrow. The sale contract records the conditions attached to the transaction, the person or entity holding the funds and the circumstances in which the deposit is released.

After every agreed condition has been met, the buyer pays the outstanding balance directly to the seller. The parties follow the contract for the specific boat and sale, with EYB coordinating communication around completion.

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.

Finding a broker along Thessaloniki’s coast

Thessaloniki has three marinas listed by European Yacht Brokers. Thessaloniki–Aretsou Marina in Kalamaria has 242 berths and accommodates boats up to 30 metres. The Nautical Club of Thessaloniki in Makedonia Thraki offers 150 berths, while Savvi Marina Platamon provides 90 berths.

Sailing conditions in Thessaloniki

At Thessaloniki–Aretsou Marina, the location is sheltered inside the Thermaic Gulf, but shallow water, urban marine traffic and strong northerly weather can affect operations. The Nautical Club Of Thessaloniki benefits from the comparatively sheltered inner Thermaic Gulf, which experiences commercial traffic, shallow coastal water, summer sea breezes and occasional strong northerly winds. Savvi Marina Platamon lies on the exposed western Thermaic Gulf and can be affected by strong northerly and easterly weather.

Getting to Thessaloniki

Thessaloniki Airport Makedonia (SKG) is the nearest airport to Thessaloniki–Aretsou Marina, Nautical Club Of Thessaloniki and Savvi Marina Platamon. It serves all three locations as the principal air link for arrivals and departures. No other airports are noted as being close to these marinas.

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.”

“We have nothing but good things to say about Peter and Sara and European Yacht Brokers. We have felt really safe and well taken care of all the time.

As someone else said the response times have always been incredibly quick and the way they have communicated has been friendly, professional and clear. In addition their willingness to help has continued long after we finished our business together.”
