The nearest airport, Sitia Vitsentzos Kornaros Airport (JSH), serves the town directly, which matters when you are coordinating viewings or handover with a buyer flying in. For an owner weighing up when to list, that year-round window is worth knowing before you fix a date.<\/p> <p>Selling through us costs five per cent, payable on completion, with nothing asked for up front. One broker stays with the sale from the initial valuation through to the handover itself, so you deal with a single point of contact rather than being passed between departments. Viewings are private, arranged strictly by appointment, and only take place once a prospective buyer's funds have been checked. That keeps the process focused on people who are actually in a position to buy.<\/p><div class=\"ybgx-facts\"><ul><li>Sitia, Crete at Sitia, Crete: one named broker, private viewings at the berth, 5% payable only on completion and nothing up front.<\/li><li>The season at Sitia, Crete runs Year-round.<\/li><li>Sitia, Crete holds not published berths.<\/li><li>Sitia, Crete takes yachts of up to not published metres length overall.<\/li><li>The nearest airport for a buyer flying in to view her is Sitia Vitsentzos Kornaros Airport (JSH).<\/li><li>Transfer from Sitia Vitsentzos Kornaros Airport (JSH) to the berth at Sitia, Crete: .<\/li><\/ul><\/div><div class=\"ybgx-toc\"><ol><li><a href=\"#buyers\">Who Is Buying at Sitia, Crete Right Now<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"#brokers2\">Yacht Brokers Sitia<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"#value\">Sell Your Boat Sitia: What She Is Actually Worth<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"#process\">Sell Your Boat Sitia: How We Actually Sell Her<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"#diy\">Why Selling Her Yourself Is a Nightmare<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"#paperwork\">Contract, Deposit and Handover<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"#timing\">Sell Your Boat Sitia: When to List Her<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"#prep\">Sell Your Boat Sitia: Survey, Refit and What to Fix<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"#marina\">Sitia, Crete in Detail<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"#berthing\">Berthing, Beam and Draft at Sitia, Crete<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"#viewings\">Getting Buyers to the Boat: Flights, Ferries and Transfers<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"#range\">The Range Selling Around Sitia<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"#registration\">Registering a Boat in Greece<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"#map\">Sitia, Crete: Location and Fast Facts<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"#boats\">Boats For Sale Through Our Sitia Office<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"#faq\">Sell Your Boat Sitia: Frequently Asked Questions<\/a><\/li><\/ol><\/div><\/div>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div data-particle_enable=\"false\" data-particle-mobile-disabled=\"false\" class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-marina004 e-con-boxed e-flex e-con e-parent\" data-id=\"marina004\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\" id=\"buyers\" data-settings=\"{&quot;background_background&quot;:&quot;classic&quot;}\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-con-inner\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-marina004w elementor-widget elementor-widget-html\" data-id=\"marina004w\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"html.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"ybgx\"><h2 id=\"buyers\">Who Is Buying at Sitia, Crete Right Now<\/h2><p>At Sitia, four distinct types of buyer are active, and they rarely overlap on the same viewing.<\/p> <p>Greek owners trading up within the same marina already know the berth, the harbourmaster and the going rate for a lift-out. They inspect the engine hours and the service history first, because they have usually watched the boat come and go for a year or two and know what she should have cost to run. What makes them walk away is a logbook that does not match the story they have heard on the pontoon, or antifouling that has clearly been skipped.<\/p> <p>Northern European buyers want a boat lying in Greece so they can fly in and be sailing within days. They ask about the berth licence, the Greek paperwork, and whether VAT status is settled, because none of that can be sorted from abroad in a hurry. A vague answer on documentation, or a berth that is not transferable, sends them straight to the next listing. <p>Charter operators are hunting for hulls that already hold Greek paperwork and a berth in a marina with a track record. They go through the survey and maintenance records line by line, and they check whether the layout suits paying guests rather than an owner. A boat with heavy cosmetic wear, or one that needs new certification before it can be chartered, is quietly dropped from their list.<\/p> <p>First-time buyers stepping up from something smaller focus on handling and layout, since they are usually moving from a boat half the size. They ask a great many questions about running costs and want to see the boat handled, not just admired at the berth. Anything that feels too complex to manage, or a boat that seems oversized for their experience, tends to end the conversation.<\/p> <p>Sitia runs a year-round season, and that keeps enquiries steady across the calendar rather than bunched into the spring rush seen elsewhere. Viewings continue through the winter months, which suits owners who would rather not wait for a single narrow window to sell.<\/p><figure class=\"ybgx-fig\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/yachtbrokersgreece.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/motor-yacht-for-sale-greece-05-1024x576.jpg\" alt=\"sell your boat Sitia: buyers viewing a yacht on the pontoon at Sitia, Crete\" loading=\"lazy\"><figcaption>Private viewings happen at your own berth at Sitia, Crete.<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div data-particle_enable=\"false\" data-particle-mobile-disabled=\"false\" class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-marina005 e-con-boxed e-flex e-con e-parent\" data-id=\"marina005\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\" id=\"brokers2\" data-settings=\"{&quot;background_background&quot;:&quot;classic&quot;}\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-con-inner\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-marina005w elementor-widget elementor-widget-html\" data-id=\"marina005w\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"html.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"ybgx\"><h2 id=\"brokers2\">Yacht Brokers Sitia<\/h2><p>Once you decide to sell, the first job is pricing her correctly, and that means looking at what similar boats have actually sold for rather than what is still sitting unsold on a listing site with an optimistic figure attached. You will get a valuation based on completed sales, not aspiration, which saves you the months of silence that come from overpricing a boat from the outset.<\/p> <p>Next comes the photography and video, shot properly at the berth rather than on a phone between other jobs. This is not a chore you need to organise yourself, arrange access for, or apologise for the weather on. It is arranged around the boat and around you.<\/p> <p>The written listing itself is built to answer the questions a serious buyer would otherwise ring you up to ask, engine hours, service history, ownership structure, VAT status, what is included and what is not. Done properly, it means you are not fielding the same enquiry six times a week from people who were never going to buy in the first place.<\/p> <p>From there the listing goes out to the international portals where buyers actually look, giving her visibility well beyond Crete and the Greek market alone. Enquiries are filtered before they ever reach you. Anyone asking for a private viewing has already been vetted and had their funds confirmed, so you are not opening the boat up to tyre kickers or spending a Saturday on someone who was only ever browsing.<\/p> <p>This is, in practice, what yacht brokers Sitia are there to do: carry the negotiation once an offer is made, coordinate the survey, and manage the paperwork through to completion, chasing the documents, liaising with any surveyor, and keeping the transaction moving without it depending on you being available every day to answer a phone. You keep the boat, and your time, and hand over the administration.<\/p> <p>Commission is five per cent, payable on completion, with nothing owed upfront.<\/p><\/div>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div data-particle_enable=\"false\" data-particle-mobile-disabled=\"false\" class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-marina006 e-con-boxed e-flex e-con e-parent\" data-id=\"marina006\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\" id=\"value\" data-settings=\"{&quot;background_background&quot;:&quot;classic&quot;}\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-con-inner\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-marina006w elementor-widget elementor-widget-html\" data-id=\"marina006w\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"html.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"ybgx ybgx-dark\"><h2 id=\"value\">Sell Your Boat Sitia: What She Is Actually Worth<\/h2><p>The figure that matters for a boat lying at Sitia is not the one you see on a listing site. Asking prices published online tell you what an owner hopes to get, nothing more. What actually sets a value is what similar boats have sold for, in similar condition, in a similar market, within a reasonable stretch of time. That is the evidence a serious buyer's broker will bring to the table, and it is the only evidence worth arguing over.<\/p> <p>Within that evidence, the year on the transom is the least useful number. Condition throughout the boat, engine hours and how they were accumulated, the age of the standing rigging, the state of the sails and canvas, and how current the electronics are will all move a valuation further than the build date. A tender and outboard that actually work, ready to be handed over rather than promised, add a genuine and specific amount. None of this is sentiment. It is what a buyer's surveyor will note down and what a buyer's broker will use to argue the price down if you cannot answer for it.<\/p> <p>Location counts as well, and it counts in your favour if you get it right. A boat already lying in Greece, with clean paperwork and a berth secured, is worth more to a buyer than an identical boat sitting ashore somewhere they must first travel to, arrange transport for, and re-document. You are removing cost, delay and risk from their side of the deal, and a buyer will pay for that removal.<\/p> <p>Setting the asking price too high does not protect that value, it erodes it. A boat that sits unsold for months acquires a reputation before a single serious buyer has stepped aboard. Every relisting, every price reduction, becomes visible history that a buyer's broker will use against you. The boat begins to look stale rather than desirable, and the eventual sale price ends up lower than if it had been priced correctly and sold promptly at private viewing to a vetted, funded buyer.<\/p><\/div>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div data-particle_enable=\"false\" data-particle-mobile-disabled=\"false\" class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-marina007 e-con-boxed e-flex e-con e-parent\" data-id=\"marina007\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\" id=\"process\" data-settings=\"{&quot;background_background&quot;:&quot;classic&quot;}\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-con-inner\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-marina007w elementor-widget elementor-widget-html\" data-id=\"marina007w\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"html.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"ybgx\"><h2 id=\"process\">Sell Your Boat Sitia: How We Actually Sell Her<\/h2><p>It starts with a visit to your boat in her own berth at Sitia. A broker looks at her as she is, not as a brochure would have her, and gives you an honest valuation based on her condition, her equipment and what similar boats have actually made in Greece recently.<\/p> <p>From there you agree an asking price together, and that figure goes into a written listing agreement. Nothing is verbal at this stage. You know exactly what has been agreed and on what terms before anything is published.<\/p> <p>Photography and video are shot at Sitia, on board and around the berth, so buyers see the boat as she sits rather than a generic stock image. This material forms the listing, which is then published and pushed out to the international portals where serious buyers actually look.<\/p> <p>Enquiries are filtered from that point on. Anyone asking about your boat is checked for genuine intent, and only buyers who have their funds confirmed are offered an appointment. This keeps casual lookers away from your deck and your time.<\/p> <p>Viewings happen privately at the berth, by appointment, with the broker present throughout. When a buyer is serious, an offer comes in and the negotiation is handled on your behalf, with every figure reported back to you directly.<\/p> <p>Once terms are agreed, a survey and a private viewing are arranged locally, usually within a short window, so the process does not drag. Any findings are dealt with plainly and any adjustment to price is discussed with you before anything is finalised.<\/p> <p>The contract is signed and the deposit is held properly, through the correct channels, so both sides are protected until completion. From there the final steps follow in order: completion of the sale, deregistration from her current flag, and handover to the new owner at Sitia.<\/p> <p>The fee is five per cent, payable on completion, and nothing is payable up front. You pay nothing to list, nothing to market, and nothing until the sale is done and the funds have moved.<\/p><\/div>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div data-particle_enable=\"false\" data-particle-mobile-disabled=\"false\" class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-marina008 e-con-boxed e-flex e-con e-parent\" data-id=\"marina008\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\" id=\"valuation-form\" data-settings=\"{&quot;background_background&quot;:&quot;classic&quot;}\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-con-inner\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-marina009f elementor-widget elementor-widget-shortcode\" data-id=\"marina009f\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"shortcode.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-shortcode\"><style>\n.ybgx-leadform{max-width:820px;margin:0 auto;font-family:\"Source Sans 3\",system-ui,sans-serif}\n.ybgx-leadform h2{font-family:\"Playfair Display\",Georgia,serif;font-weight:600;color:#fff;font-size:34px;line-height:1.25;margin:0 0 10px}\n.ybgx-leadform p.ybgx-sub{color:#E8EDF4;font-size:17px;line-height:1.7;margin:0 0 26px}\n.ybgx-grid{display:grid;grid-template-columns:1fr 1fr;gap:14px}\n.ybgx-leadform label{display:block;font-size:13px;letter-spacing:.06em;text-transform:uppercase;color:#D8B567;margin:0 0 6px}\n.ybgx-leadform input{width:100%;box-sizing:border-box;padding:13px 14px;border:1px solid #2A4266;background:#0D1E33;color:#fff;font-size:16px;border-radius:2px}\n.ybgx-leadform input:focus{outline:0;border-color:#D8B567}\n.ybgx-full{grid-column:1 \/ -1}\n.ybgx-hp{position:absolute!important;left:-9999px!important}\n.ybgx-leadform button{background:#C8102E;color:#fff;border:0;padding:16px 34px;font-size:17px;font-weight:600;letter-spacing:.02em;border-radius:2px;cursor:pointer;margin-top:8px}\n.ybgx-leadform button:hover{background:#A50D26}\n.ybgx-note{color:#9FB2C9;font-size:14px;line-height:1.6;margin:14px 0 0}\n.ybgx-ok{background:#0D1E33;border-left:4px solid #D8B567;padding:22px 24px;color:#fff;font-size:17px;line-height:1.7}\n.ybgx-err{background:#0D1E33;border-left:4px solid #C8102E;padding:22px 24px;color:#fff;font-size:17px;line-height:1.7}\n@media(max-width:767px){.ybgx-grid{grid-template-columns:1fr}.ybgx-leadform h2{font-size:26px}}\n<\/style><div class=\"ybgx-leadform\" id=\"valuation-form\"><h2>What is your boat worth?

You will hear from people testing the market, people without finance in place, and people who simply enjoy looking at boats. Each one takes your time before you find out which category they belong to.<\/p> <p>The ones who seem serious still expect to see the boat, which means you are driving to the marina, opening her up, running the systems, and putting her back together again, often for someone who had no real intention of buying. That is a day gone, more than once, before you meet a genuine buyer.<\/p> <p>When you do meet one, they know you have no sold comparables to point to. A brokerage can show what similar boats have actually made. On your own, you are guessing, and the buyer knows it, so the negotiation tends to move in one direction.<\/p> <p>Deposits taken privately are rarely held anywhere accountable. There is no client account behind them, so if a buyer walks away, you are relying on goodwill rather than a structure that protects the money until the deal completes.<\/p> <p>Then there is the paperwork. Transfer of title and deregistration in Greece has to be done correctly, and mistakes here expose you long after the money has changed hands. A private seller carries that risk alone.<\/p> <p>Meanwhile the boat still costs you money every month she stays unsold at Sitia. Berthing, insurance, antifouling, and routine servicing do not pause while you wait for the right buyer to appear. None of that spend brings the sale any closer.<\/p> <p>A boat that sits through a whole season carries all of these costs at once: the wasted viewings, the drift in asking price, the running costs, and the risk in the paperwork. Add it up over a season and it comes to more than five per cent, which is what a brokerage would have charged, paid only on completion, with nothing asked for up front.<\/p><figure class=\"ybgx-fig\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/yachtbrokersgreece.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/greek-marina-yacht-berth-08-1024x576.jpg\" alt=\"Owner trying to sell a yacht privately at Sitia\" loading=\"lazy\"><figcaption>Selling her yourself means fielding every timewaster in person.<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div data-particle_enable=\"false\" data-particle-mobile-disabled=\"false\" class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-marina011 e-con-boxed e-flex e-con e-parent\" data-id=\"marina011\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\" id=\"paperwork\" data-settings=\"{&quot;background_background&quot;:&quot;classic&quot;}\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-con-inner\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-marina011w elementor-widget elementor-widget-html\" data-id=\"marina011w\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"html.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"ybgx\"><h2 id=\"paperwork\">Contract, Deposit and Handover<\/h2><p>When you sell a boat in Sitia, the process runs on paperwork as much as on price, and it helps to know what each document does before you get to the table.<\/p> <p>The sale and purchase agreement sets out the boat, the agreed price, the conditions attached to the sale, and the timetable for completion. It is the document everything else hangs off, so its wording matters more than any conversation that came before it.<\/p> <p>A deposit is paid once terms are agreed, and it should sit in a client account held by a third party rather than pass directly to you as the seller. That protects both sides while the remaining conditions are worked through, and it removes any question about who is holding the buyer's money and on what terms.<\/p> <p>Most agreements are made subject to survey and private viewing. If the surveyor or the private viewing turns up defects, the two sides negotiate a repair, a price adjustment, or in some cases a withdrawal from the sale. This is normal and expected, not a sign that a deal is in trouble.<\/p> <p>You will need to show clean title, meaning no outstanding finance or claim against the boat, along with evidence of her VAT status within the EU. Buyers rely on both before they commit funds, and a broker will ask for them early rather than late.<\/p> <p>Completion itself involves a bill of sale, deregistration from the current flag, and registration under the new one. If the boat is kept on a berth or mooring at Sitia, the agreement covering that berth needs to be transferred or reassigned as part of the same process. Insurance changes hands on the day of completion, so there is no gap in cover between one owner and the next.<\/p> <p>This is general information, not legal advice.<\/p><\/div>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div data-particle_enable=\"false\" data-particle-mobile-disabled=\"false\" class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-marina012 e-con-boxed e-flex e-con e-parent\" data-id=\"marina012\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\" id=\"timing\" data-settings=\"{&quot;background_background&quot;:&quot;classic&quot;}\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-con-inner\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-marina012w elementor-widget elementor-widget-html\" data-id=\"marina012w\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"html.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"ybgx\"><h2 id=\"timing\">Sell Your Boat Sitia: When to List Her<\/h2><p>Sitia runs a year-round season, and that has practical consequences for you as a seller rather than being a marketing point. Because the marina and the anchorages see activity in every month, there is no single moment when the market switches on. What changes through the year is not whether buyers exist but how many are looking and how quickly they move.<\/p> <p>Enquiries tend to build from late winter onwards, as buyers based further north start planning a summer they want to spend on the water rather than arranging to view a boat. By spring, serious viewings pick up pace, and buyers who commit at this point are usually looking to take delivery in time for the summer months, so they can use the boat rather than simply own it over winter.<\/p> <p>If you are thinking of listing, the months around spring and early summer are when a boat in Crete photographs and shows at its best. Light is good, the marina is busy without being overwhelmed, and a private viewing or a private viewing happens against a backdrop that does the boat justice rather than working against it. A buyer standing on the deck in those conditions is seeing the boat as it is meant to be used.<\/p> <p>Once you move past the peak of summer, the pool of active buyers thins. Anyone who wanted a boat for that season has generally already bought one, and new enquiries slow. A boat listed late in the year is more likely to sit through autumn and into winter, waiting for the next wave of buyers rather than selling quickly.<\/p> <p>Summer conditions in Crete are settled and reliable rather than extreme, which suits boats built for steady coastal and island cruising rather than for handling difficult offshore weather. Buyers here are generally looking for a boat that performs well in dependable conditions, is comfortable at anchor, and suits a pattern of island hopping. A boat that fits that use case, and that is listed in good time before the season, is in the strongest position to sell well.<\/p><\/div>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div data-particle_enable=\"false\" data-particle-mobile-disabled=\"false\" class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-marina013 e-con-boxed e-flex e-con e-parent\" data-id=\"marina013\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\" id=\"prep\" data-settings=\"{&quot;background_background&quot;:&quot;classic&quot;}\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-con-inner\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-marina013w elementor-widget elementor-widget-html\" data-id=\"marina013w\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"html.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"ybgx\"><h2 id=\"prep\">Sell Your Boat Sitia: Survey, Refit and What to Fix<\/h2><p>Sitia is a long way from a chandlery with everything in stock, so plan the work with that in mind. A deep clean, inside and out, does more for a first impression than anything else you can buy. Have the hull polished properly rather than just rinsed off, and make sure the bilges and lockers are clean too, because buyers look there.<\/p> <p>Tenders, covers and canvas tell a buyer how the boat has been kept. If they are faded, torn or patched, replace or repair them before anyone views the boat. A tatty cover on an otherwise good boat plants a doubt that is hard to shift once it is there.<\/p> <p>Get the engines serviced and keep the invoices and logbooks together in one folder. A buyer who is vetted and ready to proceed will want to see a maintenance history, not just hear about one. The same goes for any recent haul out or antifouling work.<\/p> <p>Replace anything a surveyor will list anyway. Perished hoses, tired batteries and instruments that no longer read correctly all show up in a survey report, and it looks better if they are already sorted rather than left as findings. These are modest costs against the price of the boat, and they remove easy objections.<\/p> <p>Clear out personal belongings. Family photographs, spare clothing and years of accumulated gear make it hard for a buyer to see the boat as their own. An empty locker photographs and viewsproperly better than a full one.<\/p> <p>A full repaint rarely returns its cost, and neither does a new suite of electronics fitted just ahead of a sale. Buyers pay for a boat that is sound and honestly presented, not for cosmetic spend they did not ask for.<\/p> <p>On an older boat, a pre listing survey is worth commissioning before you go to market. It puts the condition of the boat on the table early, at a time when you can still deal with anything it finds. The alternative is a survey that turns up a surprise after you have accepted an offer, which is when deals fall apart. Better to know now, on your own terms, than to find out later on someone else's.<\/p><figure class=\"ybgx-fig\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/yachtbrokersgreece.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/sailing-yacht-for-sale-greece-05-1024x576.jpg\" alt=\"Yacht hauled out for survey and antifoul near Sitia\" loading=\"lazy\"><figcaption>A survey and a tidy antifoul pay for themselves at the negotiation.<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div data-particle_enable=\"false\" data-particle-mobile-disabled=\"false\" class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-marina014 e-con-boxed e-flex e-con e-parent\" data-id=\"marina014\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\" id=\"marina\" data-settings=\"{&quot;background_background&quot;:&quot;classic&quot;}\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-con-inner\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-marina014w elementor-widget elementor-widget-html\" data-id=\"marina014w\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"html.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"ybgx\"><h2 id=\"marina\">Sitia, Crete in Detail<\/h2><p>Sitia sits on the north-eastern coast of Crete, a working harbour rather than a marina built for show. The season runs year-round, so a boat kept here is never tucked away out of reach for half the year. You can leave her lying in the water through winter and show her in spring without shifting her first.<\/p> <p>The harbour does not publish figures for berths, maximum length overall, alongside depth or lifting capacity, and we will not guess at numbers on your behalf. What matters more to a seller is that the port operates all year, which keeps the place alive rather than shuttered and quiet for months at a time. A buyer arriving in November sees the same working harbour as one arriving in July.<\/p> <p>Walk the pontoons here and you find a mix of local fishing boats, day boats and cruising yachts lying stern to or alongside, with the town itself rising behind the quay. It is unpretentious. There is no marina village dressed up for tourists, just a genuine Cretan port going about its business, which tends to put buyers at ease rather than putting them on guard.<\/p> <p>Eastern Crete has its own network of tradesmen and suppliers used to working on yachts, and Sitia draws on that rather than trying to hold everything within the harbour walls itself. Riggers, mechanics and chandlery supplies are reachable from the port, and local agents on the ground can arrange access, cleaning or minor works ahead of a viewing without you needing to fly out each time.<\/p> <p>The town has an airport with seasonal connections and is within driving distance of Heraklion, which matters when you are trying to get a serious buyer to a viewing without losing three days to travel. Sitia itself is small enough that a visiting buyer is not lost in a sprawling marina complex hunting for the right pontoon.<\/p> <p>All of this makes a boat lying in Sitia straightforward to present. We arrange private viewings by appointment once a buyer is vetted and funds are confirmed, and a compact, year-round working harbour like this one makes that easy to organise on short notice. Our commission is five per cent on completion, with nothing payable upfront.<\/p><figure class=\"ybgx-fig\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/yachtbrokersgreece.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/catamaran-for-sale-greece-05-1024x576.jpg\" alt=\"Berths and pontoons at Sitia, Crete, Sitia\" loading=\"lazy\"><figcaption>Sitia, Crete at Sitia, Crete.<\/figcaption><\/figure><p><a href=\"\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">Sitia, Crete: official website<\/a><\/p><\/div>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div data-particle_enable=\"false\" data-particle-mobile-disabled=\"false\" class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-marina015 e-con-boxed e-flex e-con e-parent\" data-id=\"marina015\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\" id=\"berthing\" data-settings=\"{&quot;background_background&quot;:&quot;classic&quot;}\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-con-inner\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-marina015w elementor-widget elementor-widget-html\" data-id=\"marina015w\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"html.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"ybgx ybgx-dark\"><h2 id=\"berthing\">Berthing, Beam and Draft at Sitia, Crete<\/h2><p>Sitia sits on the north-eastern coast of Crete, and like every marina in Greece it allocates berths according to a boat's actual dimensions rather than her class or her price. Length overall, beam and draught between them determine whether a pontoon can take her at all, and the marina office does not publish its berth count or its maximum length overall, so any figure you have seen quoted elsewhere should be treated as unconfirmed until the harbour master's office states it in writing. This matters to you as a seller because it shapes exactly who can buy her. A boat that is a metre longer or half a metre wider than the norm for a given pontoon narrows the pool of berths she can occupy, and that in turn narrows the pool of buyers who can keep her where she already lies. Alongside depth and the marina's travel lift capacity are also not published by the operator, and haul out arrangements are not confirmed either. We do not guess at these figures on your behalf, and we would advise any buyer to do the same, since a boat that cannot be lifted or berthed locally becomes someone else's problem to solve rather than a straightforward purchase. A berth that transfers with the boat is worth stating plainly, because in Greece a good berth is not always there for the asking. Waiting lists exist, and a buyer who inherits your place at Sitia rather than joining a queue elsewhere is being offered something concrete, not a courtesy. Before you list her, go back to your berthing or mooring agreement and read the transfer clause itself, not your memory of it. Check whether the berth is personal to you or attached to the vessel, whether the marina's consent is required before it passes to a new owner, and whether any arrears or notice period would delay a sale. These are matters for your agreement and the marina office, not for assumption, and getting the answer in writing now saves a delay later, when a buyer is ready to complete.<\/p><table class=\"ybgx-tbl\"><tr><th>Detail<\/th><th>Value<\/th><\/tr><tr><td>Berths at Sitia, Crete<\/td><td>not published<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Maximum length overall accepted<\/td><td>not published m<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Alongside depth<\/td><td>not published m<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Travel lift capacity<\/td><td>not published tonnes<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Haul out and craning<\/td><td>not published<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Season<\/td><td>Year-round<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Nearest airport<\/td><td>Sitia Vitsentzos Kornaros Airport (JSH)<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Transfer to the berth<\/td><td><\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Brokerage fee<\/td><td>5% of the sale price, payable on completion<\/td><\/tr><\/table><p><a href=\"https:\/\/sitia.gr\/category\/dimlimentam\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">Hellenic Coast Guard: local port authorities<\/a><\/p><\/div>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div data-particle_enable=\"false\" data-particle-mobile-disabled=\"false\" class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-marina016 e-con-boxed e-flex e-con e-parent\" data-id=\"marina016\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\" id=\"viewings\" data-settings=\"{&quot;background_background&quot;:&quot;classic&quot;}\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-con-inner\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-marina016w elementor-widget elementor-widget-html\" data-id=\"marina016w\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"html.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"ybgx\"><h2 id=\"viewings\">Getting Buyers to the Boat: Flights, Ferries and Transfers<\/h2><p>Your boat lies at Sitia, on the eastern side of Crete, and getting a serious buyer to the berth is a logistical question before it is a sales one. The nearest airport is Sitia Vitsentzos Kornaros Airport, known by its code JSH. That proximity matters more than it might seem, because it removes a full day of travel that a longer transfer would otherwise impose on anyone flying in to view. We do not advertise your boat and hope someone finds their own way there. A viewing at Sitia is arranged as an appointment, agreed with you and with us in advance, with a specific date and time that suits the buyer's travel and your availability. The boat is opened ahead of their arrival, systems powered up, engines warmed if that is appropriate, so that what they step onto is a boat ready to be seen properly rather than one still shut up and cold. A named broker who knows her specification in detail is present throughout, not a local agent reading from a listing sheet. That broker's job on the day is to give the buyer time on board without anyone else waiting behind them. Buyers who have flown in for this are not popping by on a whim. They have taken a flight, arranged their own onward travel, and set aside a limited window in Crete to do it. There is no queue, no rush to vacate the saloon for the next appointment, because there rarely is a next appointment scheduled back to back at the same berth. What this means practically is that a buyer flying any distance to Crete will typically want to see two or three boats while they are here, not just yours. That is simply how the economics of the trip work for them. It means your boat needs to be presented at its best on the day named, not approximately ready, because it is being judged in the same afternoon against whatever else is on their list. Lines coiled, brightwork done, the boat smelling of nothing but itself. A buyer who has come this far is close to a decision. The condition of the boat on the day either confirms that or unsettles it.<figure class=\"ybgx-fig\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/yachtbrokersgreece.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/motor-yacht-for-sale-greece-12-1024x576.jpg\" alt=\"Buyer arriving at Sitia Vitsentzos Kornaros Airport (JSH) to view a yacht at Sitia, Crete\" loading=\"lazy\"><figcaption>Most buyers fly into Sitia Vitsentzos Kornaros Airport (JSH) and reach the berth the same day.<\/figcaption><\/figure><p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.hcaa.gr\/en\/our-airports\/dhmotikos-aerolimenas-shteias-dast\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">Sitia Vitsentzos Kornaros Airport (JSH): official website<\/a><\/p><\/div>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div data-particle_enable=\"false\" data-particle-mobile-disabled=\"false\" class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-marina017 e-con-boxed e-flex e-con e-parent\" data-id=\"marina017\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\" id=\"range\" data-settings=\"{&quot;background_background&quot;:&quot;classic&quot;}\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-con-inner\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-marina017w elementor-widget elementor-widget-html\" data-id=\"marina017w\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"html.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"ybgx\"><h2 id=\"range\">The Range Selling Around Sitia<\/h2><p>If you are weighing up when to sell, it helps to know what actually moves in this market rather than what merely gets listed. Around Sitia and the wider Cretan coast, the volume trade sits in cruising monohulls between ten and sixteen metres. These attract private owners looking for a boat they can sail themselves or with one crew member, often a couple stepping up from a smaller boat or a family buying their first proper cruiser. They check the rig and standing rigging closely, the state of the engine and its service history, and whether the antifouling and osmosis record are in order. A boat with clear paperwork and recent survey moves faster than one without.<\/p> <p>Sailing catamarans hold their value better than most other types and draw two distinct buyers: private owners who want the stability and living space, and charter operators building or refreshing a fleet for the Greek season. Both groups look hard at the same things, tank capacity, generator hours, and how the boat has been maintained through winters ashore. A catamaran with a clean charter history, properly logged, is not a disadvantage. It often reassures a buyer who plans to charter it themselves.<\/p> <p>Motor yachts and flybridge boats in this region tend to sell to owners who want short hops between anchorages and a boat suited to entertaining guests on board rather than long passages. Buyers check fuel burn at cruising speed, the condition of upholstery and deck fittings, and how recently the engines have been serviced. Cosmetic condition matters more here than on a bluewater monohull, since the boat is bought partly for how it presents at anchor.<\/p> <p>Larger yachts sell more slowly, and the buyers who do come are usually well prepared, with finance arranged and a surveyor already chosen. They ask for full service records going back several years, crew arrangements if any, and a clear account of any structural or mechanical work carried out. Patience suits this end of the market. The right buyer arrives eventually, but only once every document is in order.<\/p><figure class=\"ybgx-fig\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/yachtbrokersgreece.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/greek-marina-yacht-berth-15-1024x576.jpg\" alt=\"The range of yachts for sale around Sitia\" loading=\"lazy\"><figcaption>What is actually selling around Sitia right now.<\/figcaption><\/figure><h3>Where this page sits<\/h3><ul><li><a href=\"\/yacht-brokers-crete\/\">Yacht brokers Crete<\/a> - the regional hub for every marina we cover here.<\/li><li><a href=\"\/sell-your-boat-agios-nikolaos\/\">Sell your boat Agios Nikolaos<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"\/sell-your-boat-ierapetra\/\">Sell your boat Ierapetra<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"\/yachts-for-sale\/\">Yachts for sale in Greece<\/a> - every current listing.<\/li><li><a href=\"\/sell-your-boat\/\">How we sell your boat<\/a> - the full brokerage process and what the 5% covers.<\/li><\/ul><\/div>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div data-particle_enable=\"false\" data-particle-mobile-disabled=\"false\" class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-marina018 e-con-boxed e-flex e-con e-parent\" data-id=\"marina018\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\" id=\"registration\" data-settings=\"{&quot;background_background&quot;:&quot;classic&quot;}\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-con-inner\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-marina018w elementor-widget elementor-widget-html\" data-id=\"marina018w\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"html.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"ybgx ybgx-dark\"><h2 id=\"registration\">Registering a Boat in Greece<\/h2><p>A boat sold in Greece changes hands on paper as well as on the water. The buyer wants three things in order: a clean bill of sale, evidence that the previous register has released her, and documentation of her VAT status within the EU. Most owners selling here keep the flag she already wears; a change of flag is a choice, not an obligation, and it is usually driven by the buyer's residence rather than by where the boat is lying.<\/p><p>Where a buyer does want the Greek flag, private pleasure craft are entered through the local port authority and the paperwork is straightforward once the deletion certificate from the old register is in hand. Private boats cruising Greek waters also carry the TEPAI cruising contribution, which is calculated on length and paid monthly or annually. We handle the sequence so the two sides are never waiting on each other, and we tell you before you sign which document is going to be slowest.<\/p><\/div>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div data-particle_enable=\"false\" data-particle-mobile-disabled=\"false\" class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-marina019 e-con-boxed e-flex e-con e-parent\" data-id=\"marina019\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\" id=\"map\" data-settings=\"{&quot;background_background&quot;:&quot;classic&quot;}\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-con-inner\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-marina019w elementor-widget elementor-widget-html\" data-id=\"marina019w\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"html.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"ybgx\"><h2 id=\"map\">Sitia, Crete: Location and Fast Facts<\/h2><p>Sitia lies on the eastern coast of Crete, on the side of the island that faces the open waters of the Aegean rather than the more sheltered stretches to the west. It sits away from the busier resort coastline further along the island, in a quieter corner of Crete that sees less traffic through the summer months. The town itself is small and unhurried, with a working harbour rather than a large marina complex, and the coastline around it is characterised by rugged headlands and long open views out to sea.<\/p> <p>From here, a short passage brings you within reach of other points along Crete's eastern seaboard, making it a practical base for exploring this side of the island without the congestion found further west. The surrounding waters are open rather than enclosed, so passages tend to be straightforward rather than intricate.<\/p> <p>The nearest airport is Sitia Vitsentzos Kornaros Airport, known by its code JSH, which serves the immediate area. We are not in a position to confirm the exact distance between the airport and the town, so we would rather leave that figure out than guess at it. A map follows this paragraph showing the wider position in relation to the rest of Crete.<\/p><iframe src=\"https:\/\/www.google.com\/maps?q=Sitia+Greece&output=embed\" width=\"100%\" height=\"420\" style=\"border:0;display:block\" loading=\"lazy\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer-when-downgrade\" title=\"Map of Sitia, Crete\"><\/iframe><\/div>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div data-particle_enable=\"false\" data-particle-mobile-disabled=\"false\" class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-marina020 e-con-boxed e-flex e-con e-parent\" data-id=\"marina020\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\" id=\"boats\" data-settings=\"{&quot;background_background&quot;:&quot;classic&quot;}\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-con-inner\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-marina020w elementor-widget elementor-widget-html\" data-id=\"marina020w\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"html.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"ybgx\"><h2 id=\"boats\">Boats For Sale Through Our Sitia Office<\/h2><p>Every listing below is handled by the same brokers who take on the boats owners bring us here: one named broker, full specification, professional photography and private viewings by appointment only.<\/p><div class=\"ybgx-grid\"><div class=\"ybgx-card\"><a href=\"https:\/\/yachtbrokersgreece.com\/yachts-for-sale\/azimut-78-fly-for-sale-2011\/\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/yachtbrokersgreece.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/motor-yacht-for-sale-greece-02-768x432.jpg\" alt=\"Azimut 78 Fly for sale 2011 \u2014 AOP\" loading=\"lazy\"><\/a><div class=\"in\"><h3><a href=\"https:\/\/yachtbrokersgreece.com\/yachts-for-sale\/azimut-78-fly-for-sale-2011\/\" style=\"color:#12294A;text-decoration:none\">Azimut 78 Fly for sale 2011 \u2014 AOP<\/a><\/h3><p class=\"sp\">2011 &middot;

There is nothing to pay up front, no listing fee and no photography charge. If she does not sell, you owe us nothing at all.<\/p><h3>Do I have to move the boat to sell her?<\/h3><p>No. She stays exactly where she lies at Sitia, Crete and buyers come to the pontoon. Moving a boat for a sale costs money, adds risk and rarely helps. Her own berth at Sitia is the best showroom she has.<\/p><h3>How long does it usually take to sell?<\/h3><p>A correctly priced boat at Sitia, Crete normally sells within three to six months, and most of that time is spent waiting for the right funded buyer rather than waiting for enquiries. Overpriced boats sit for a year or longer.<\/p><h3>Who actually shows the boat to buyers?<\/h3><p>One named broker handles your boat from listing to handover. The same person answers the enquiry, qualifies the buyer, meets them at the berth at Sitia, Crete and runs the viewing. You are never passed around a call centre.<\/p><h3>What paperwork do I need before listing her?<\/h3><p>Proof of ownership, the registration document, the VAT status paperwork and invoices for any major works. Missing paperwork is the most common reason a sale collapses late. This is general information and not legal advice, so check your own position.<\/p><h3>How do you decide what she is worth?<\/h3><p>We look at recent completed sales of the same model, current asking prices, her condition, her hours and her equipment, then set a figure that attracts funded buyers rather than tyre kickers. A survey usually confirms that number rather than changing it.<\/p><script type=\"application\/ld+json\">{\"@context\":\"https:\\\/\\\/schema.org\",\"@type\":\"FAQPage\",\"mainEntity\":[{\"@type\":\"Question\",\"name\":\"What does it cost to sell my boat at Sitia, Crete?\",\"acceptedAnswer\":{\"@type\":\"Answer\",\"text\":\"We charge 5% of the final sale price and it is payable only on completion.
