Which yacht broker do you need at Martı Marina?
Yacht brokers work in three different ways. For an owner who sells, the broker lists, advertises and presents offers. For a purchaser, the broker searches, compares and negotiates on the buyer’s behalf. And a full-service broker can take charge of the transaction from start to finish, representing both parties only where this is agreed in writing and explained openly. Which one suits you at Martı Marina depends on your plans.
Our approach is to put it in writing: what the broker will do, what it costs and how long it lasts. The commission is just 5%, the valuation is free, and you are looked after in six languages by a broker who can visit your boat at Martı Marina quickly. Ask for a valuation below, or call or WhatsApp +90 533 576 2501.
When you sell with us, you appoint the seller’s broker for Martı Marina 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.
The seller’s listing broker is the professional the owner engages to present the yacht to the market and find a buyer. The broker may help with the asking price, with specifications and photographs, with preparing and advertising the listing, and with enquiries and viewings. The listing agreement should set out whether the appointment is exclusive or open, how long it lasts, what commission is payable and what services the broker will provide.
Not every seller wants a full service. Some ask only for listing and marketing: the broker advertises the yacht, passes any offer to the owner and does not take responsibility for negotiating or managing the rest of the sale. That can be a properly defined service, but it does not describe every seller’s broker. Sale guidance often covers the work after an offer too: Horizon Yachts International describes the deposit, survey and sea-trial stages, and YachtWorld notes that a broker may arrange a survey and sea trial.
Check the handover point before you sign. Does the broker negotiate price and conditions, help with the paperwork, keep track of deadlines and contingencies, arrange access for the survey and sea trial, and coordinate closing, payment and transfer documents? Should some of these be excluded, the seller may need 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 Martı Marina.

You do not need to find the right yacht alone. European Yacht Brokers helps buyers at Martı Marina shortlist boats, ask the right questions of listing brokers, negotiate, and organise the survey and sea trial, with a local broker nearby and a team that speaks your language.
Buyers appoint a broker to act for them in finding and buying a yacht. Work begins with the buyer’s plans, preferred type, size, budget, location and priorities. The broker researches the market, identifies possible boats, asks the listing brokers for information, reviews the records that exist and helps the buyer compare options. A number of buyer brokers also preview yachts or arrange remote viewings, which helps the client narrow the field before travelling.
When the buyer has found a yacht, the broker can help prepare and negotiate the offer, explain the steps and deadlines and liaise with the seller’s listing broker. Expect a purchase agreement, deposit and escrow arrangements, an independent marine survey, specialist inspections, a sea trial and further discussion once the inspections are done. The broker helps coordinate these steps and keeps communication moving, but the surveyor assesses the yacht, and the broker does not replace an independent technical inspection.
Brokerages describe buyer services that cover research, negotiation, survey coordination, sea-trial arrangements and help with closing documentation. Curtis Stokes & Associates, for instance, describes helping buyers research and preview yachts, prepare offers, negotiate, and find surveyors and documentation support, while HMY describes coordinating the survey and sea-trial stages, discussions after the survey and closing. Services differ, so the buyer should ask what the broker will handle and what stays with the buyer.
A buyer’s broker can be paid by an agreed share of the commission through a cooperating listing broker, or by a fee the buyer owes under a separate representation agreement; arrangements vary. The fee, duration, scope of authority and any exclusivity belong in writing before the search begins. This gives the purchaser a dedicated representative across a wider search, including when another brokerage lists the chosen yacht. Buyers weighing up boats close to Martı Marina should settle these points first.

Full service means we take care of the details: valuation, listing, viewings, offers, contract, deposit, survey, sea trial and closing, with our Marmaris head office and a local broker behind you at Martı Marina. If you want us to act for both parties, the written agreement says so and explains how it 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.
A broker for both sides faces two sets of interests. Sellers generally want the strongest price and terms; buyers want a suitable yacht at a fair price and need to make informed decisions on its condition. Private negotiation for each side, as two independent representatives would do, is not possible for one broker. The YBAA discussion therefore stresses transparency about the arrangement and careful handling of confidential information, and the parties should rely on the written agreement and applicable local advice, since the legal rules and permitted arrangements vary by jurisdiction.
A buyer should check whether any separate fee is owed, because although the commission is often addressed in the seller’s listing agreement, payment arrangements vary. Full-service describes the range of work; dual agency describes whom the broker represents. The two are different: a broker can offer extensive transaction support without representing both sides.
European Yacht Brokers runs its Turkish operations from its Marmaris head office, with brokers serving coastal regions and many marinas throughout Turkey. Your first contact is with the Marmaris team, who connect you with the broker responsible for your area. Our regional network means we can arrange for a broker to reach any Turkish marina in less than an hour, and the local broker can arrange a visit to your boat and provide a complimentary valuation.
Whichever Turkish coast your boat lies on, there is a European Yacht Brokers delegate or agent in the region: Istanbul, the Aegean coast, Bodrum, Marmaris, Göcek, the Lycian coast or Mersin. For Martı Marina in Orhaniye, that means the broker for Marmaris and Datça, who can meet customers and see their boats quickly, with Marmaris coordinating.
To begin a valuation, download our Sales Mandate and Evaluation Sheet. Using the boat’s details and condition we study the market and prepare a precise, evidence-based valuation informed by the sales data available to us for boats worldwide over the past three years. A valuation is an assessment of likely market value, rather than a guarantee of the eventual sale price.
When you appoint us, the regional broker takes over the work of finding a buyer, or of helping you find the right boat, and guides you to completion and the successful transfer of funds. Boats are advertised on over 20 platforms across Europe, which gives them visibility beyond the Turkish market; international buyers can often help secure a stronger price than local demand alone. And because our brokers speak six languages between them, we can connect you with someone who speaks your language.

Sometimes, but 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.
It varies. The broker may receive an agreed share of the commission through a cooperating listing broker, or the buyer may owe a fee under a separate representation agreement.
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.
We advertise boats across over 20 platforms throughout Europe, giving them visibility beyond the Turkish market.
Download our Sales Mandate and Evaluation Sheet and send us the boat’s details and condition; your regional broker can then arrange a visit to your boat.
