Owner’s side · Yacht advisory
Independent support from model and options selection through handover, commissioning and your first serious passage.
Not a broker. Not a dealer.
We begin with your actual cruising plans, crew, autonomy and appetite for maintenance.
We check what was supplied and installed, test systems and turn a new yacht into a dependable working boat.
This is not a technical survey. I represent the owner’s practical interests. When a formal condition report is required, we appoint an independent specialist surveyor.
Complete cycle
From one independent consultation to several weeks alongside the owner after handover.
Waters, crew, autonomy and long-term plans.
Yard package, priorities and ownership costs.
Equipment, installation, systems and snags.
Manoeuvres, routines and emergency scenarios.
Commissioning for real life
Equipment must be checked, organised and available when needed. Critical systems should make sense to the person who owns the boat.
A good handover ends not with a signature, but with the confidence to leave the marina independently.
Questions
Ideally while choosing the yacht, before signing with the yard. This avoids mistakes in the fundamental concept and expensive options driven by popular online opinions. A centre cockpit or twin keel may be interesting, for example, but not necessarily sensible for your own Mediterranean plans.
When the purchase, insurer or a technical concern requires a formal condition report and specialist inspection.
Yes, until you are confident with the systems, harbour manoeuvres and normal onboard routines.
An independent view
Tell me which yacht you are considering and where you are in the purchase process.
