We give a valuation at no charge, charge just 5% commission, advertise on over 20 international platforms, including YachtWorld, and speak six languages.

Which yacht broker do you need at Setur Ayvalık Marina?
What separates them: 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 Setur Ayvalık Marina you can choose any of the three, and the written agreement sets out exactly what is included.
Whether you are listing a yacht or looking for one, you deal with brokers who know the process from the first enquiry to the transfer of funds. Our Marmaris head office connects you with a local broker for Aegean Coast; the valuation is free, the commission is just 5%, and your yacht reaches buyers on over 20 platforms across Europe. Let us know what you want and we will say how we can help at Setur Ayvalık Marina.
When you sell with us, you appoint the seller’s broker for Setur Ayvalık 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.
Bringing a yacht to market is the listing broker’s job, and the owner makes the appointment. The broker may help set the asking price, collect specifications and photographs, prepare the listing, advertise the yacht, respond to enquiries and arrange viewings. Check that the listing agreement explains whether it is exclusive or open, how long it runs, what commission applies and which services are included.
Some owners choose a listing and marketing service and nothing more. The broker then advertises the yacht, hands any offer to the owner and takes no responsibility for negotiating or managing what follows. This can work as a clearly defined service, but it should not be taken as the standard seller’s broker. Published guidance usually includes work after the offer, with Horizon Yachts International describing the deposit, survey and sea-trial stages and YachtWorld explaining 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.
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 Setur Ayvalık Marina.

Tell us the type, size, budget and area you have in mind and our buyer’s broker will start the search for you around Setur Ayvalık Marina. 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.
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.
The next stage starts when the buyer settles on a yacht. The broker can help prepare and negotiate an offer, explain the steps and deadlines, and coordinate with the seller’s listing broker through the purchase agreement, deposit and escrow arrangements, independent marine survey, specialist inspections, sea trial and any discussions that follow the inspections. Keeping everyone in communication is part of the job. Assessing the yacht is the surveyor’s job; a 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.
Fees differ. The buyer’s 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, so establish the fee, duration, scope of authority and any exclusivity in writing before the search begins. In return the buyer has a dedicated representative across a wider search, whichever brokerage lists the chosen yacht. Anyone considering a yacht near Setur Ayvalık Marina should ask these questions before appointing a broker.

European Yacht Brokers offers full service at Setur Ayvalık Marina: 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.
Dual agency means one broker represents both parties in the same transaction, as the Yacht Brokers Association of America describes it. In this profile the broker deals directly with the buyer and represents buyer and seller alike. It differs from a listing broker who helps a buyer with the sale but remains appointed to represent the seller. Ask the broker to explain the relationship before you make an offer.
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.
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.
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.

You can begin by downloading the Sales Mandate and Evaluation Sheet. With the boat’s details and condition in front of us, we study the market and prepare a precise, evidence-based valuation, informed by three years of sales data for boats worldwide.

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 Turkish 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.
