The Leros Coastguard was alerted on Sunday evening after a Polish-flagged sailing yacht began drifting in Lakki Bay during adverse weather.
The vessel had been anchored and nobody was aboard at the time.
A Hellenic Coast Guard patrol boat and a shore-based patrol vehicle were sent to the area immediately.
The port authority contacted the owner, who moved the yacht and secured it safely.
No marine pollution was caused. The Leros Port Authority began the process for imposing the administrative penalties provided by law.
