Pre-purchase condition Survey by qualified Surveyors
Once your offer on a yacht has been accepted and a MOA has been drafted by your lawyer signed by both you and the Seller, we advise you to appoint a qualified Surveyor to go over the Υacht and present to you a detailed Pre-purchase Condition Survey Report with all his findings and recommendations
That will, mainly, give you three benefits:
a) You will know the actual condition of the Υacht
b) You will present it to your insurance agents
c) You can present it to a future Buyer, whenever you will decide to sell your Yacht
If you wish we can provide you with a choice of Marine Surveyors that you can contact them directly
Walkthrough Survey by qualified Surveyors / initial inspection
If you wish to receive an inspection to a yacht you are interested for, but not to proceed to a full Pre-purchase Condition Survey mainly due to the cost of such, we can arrange that for you.
A Surveyor will visit the yacht of your interest and will make a short Inspection in the major areas of the Yacht (around 30 points) such as:
- Hull, Shafts, Propellers, Rudders, Brackets, Keel (sailing yachts) - provided that the yacht is ashore, otherwise haul out/in costs must be covered
- Deck, Topsides, Transom, Rails, Mast and Rigging (sailing yachts)
- Bilges around keel/hull joining area (sailing yachts)
- Internal Condition
- Tender and Outboard
- Navigational electronics
- Any existing damage
- Engine room superficial inspection
- Three other special points requested by the Buyer
- Around 30 images with points to be considered
He will provide you with a two-three pages report.
If you will decide to purchase the specific yacht, after the inspection and the signing of a MOA, then we advise you to proceed to a full Pre-purchase Condition Survey, as per previous session and ask your Surveyor for a discount!
The role of experienced lawyers for buying a yacht
We cooperate with yacht legal experts (Lawyers) that can handle all the paperwork for the safe transition of the Yacht’s ownership to you

Yacht: Repairs, refits and upgrades
Our contacts with yachts’ specialists, shipyards and technicians, enable us to assist you in making the right work at the right price for you.
Yacht maintenance
The yacht is subject to many factors such as solar radiation, frequent temperature changes, sea saltiness, long standing in or out of water and other.
As a serious and perhaps dangerous event during a cruise should not occur, it is necessary to have all parts of the yacht checked and maintained in good time.
We are at your disposal to discuss with you specific actions that you need to take to maintain your yacht properly and to introduce to you professional craftsmen, shipbuilders as well as marine equipment for your yacht.

Yacht owners know well that in order to really enjoy a journey, it must be accompanied by a feeling of safety and security.

Moorage in Greece
New modern marinas in Greece, hotel ports and moorings for the safe harbor of boats are already in operation or are gradually being put in place to meet the needs of visitors arriving in Greece in the most satisfactory and safest manner possible.
Anchors
In addition to the berths provided by public or private marinas, the Greek ports can accommodate some 3,000 yachts.
Apart from Piraeus and Thessaloniki, many ports have small and picturesque moorings with all the appropriate equipment.
The piers and breakwaters form safe spaces for the berths of tourist boats, with the corresponding port dues being paid.
Such facilities exist in Mikrolimano of Piraeus, Aegina, Poros, Hydra, Spetses, Nafplio, Gythio, Pylos, Zakynthos,
Ithaca, Kefalonia, Lefkada, Paxos, Ios, Mykonos, Patmos, Symi, Samos, Plomari, Lesvos, Chios and elsewhere.
Port charges
Commercial ports are supervised by local port authorities. Yachts using such ports are required to pay port dues, which are regulated by regulatory acts of the competent Ministry of Merchant Shipping (YEN). The docking fees are paid to the local Port Authorities in favor of the Port Fund and are calculated on the basis of the class of vessel, the measures of full length, the gross tonnage and the length of stay in the port.
Supplies
Fuel: Diesel fuel is available to pleasure boats in many ports around the country, mainly by tanker vehicles, with local port authorities (VHF information, channel 12).
Most petroleum companies now have an organized offshore network of oil stations, located on the islands and continents of the country, capable of serving the needs of refueling vessels in any geographical area.
In addition, some of these companies have built special small tankers capable of carrying fuel and tankers, thereby creating floating boat service facilities.
In the country's major ports, fuel is charged at current prices.
In the outermost regions a small charge is added to the cost to cover the extra shipping costs.
Vessels are no longer entitled to transit fuel.
Everybody is obliged to supply diesel fuel, which has the natural pale yellow color of the oil (colorless).
Gasoline: Usually available from gas stations rather than pumps near the waterfront.
Lubricants: Although all types of lubricants are available in Greece, they may not be available in some remote islands.
Therefore, yachts that make extensive voyages should carry with them stocks of the lubricants they need.
Water: For the supply of drinking water, in the marinas of EOT (Greek Tourism Organization) there is an additional burden of 80% on urban consumption charges.
In ports, water is discharged to the waterfront or transported by vehicles. It is recommended to verify the billing price through the port authorities locally.
Because some islands lack water during the summer months and may be difficult to refuel, yacht masters should provide for the conservation of water supplies.
Other refueling - supplies: As for refueling, ice, LPG and other commodities, most of the country's ports are supplied by private individuals or through the regulated networks of petroleum companies (Port Information / 12 VHF).
Repairs: In most Greek coastal areas and near the mainland ports, as well as in those of the larger Greek islands, extensive repairs are carried out and all types of boat services are provided.
In smaller ports and in the more remote small islands, there are opportunities for some medium or small repairs.
Points to be taken into account under Greek law:
1. Private yachts, whether under Greek or foreign flag, are NOT entitled to receive free equipment and supplies such as fuel,
lubricants, feedstocks and other foodstuffs.
2.Tourist professional vessels ARE entitled to receive duty-free fuel only, through the refund procedures of petroleum excise duties, which have proven to be used as fuel for transport purposes.
