• Assistance with choosing the most appropriate yacht

There are good and bad yachts to buy. The yacht you choose also depends upon the way in which you intend to use the yacht after its charter life has completed. We'll help you choose what you need and will handle all aspects of arranging test sails etc for you. After testing a yacht, we will provide you with a report, detailing our view on the yacht and its suitability for purpose.

• Ordering and specifying the yacht

We'll help you negotiate with the yacht builder and will define a specification for the yacth suitable for the boats intended use and any specific requirements luxuries that you require.

• Assist with finding the right finance deal / gearing the yacht appropriately

We keep a keen eye on the boat finance / mortgage market and can advise who is offering the best deals for the type of loan that you are seeking. We'll help you understand the loan and the more broad financial aspsects of the proposition in order that you are able to understand the financial commitments and rewards that you can expect

• Managing the yachts build and acceptance processes

This is a key aspect of what we do and is an area fraught with problems for most new boat purchasers. Frequently, our customers do not have either the time or the knowledge to do this accurately. We are experienced in commissioning boats and will utilise boat builders and experienced charter fleet managers to manage the build and acceptance processes. The boat will not be accepted from the manufacturer until we are completly happy in respect of its quality, completion to specification and finishing.

 

A full acceptance report will be delivered to you the owner, prior to you being asked to provide acceptance signatures.

• Arranging delivery of the yacht either delivered or by ship

We can provide fully qualified delivery skippers and crew to get your boat to the Caribbean, wherever it has been built. Alternatively, we can also offer shipping options for the yacht should you desire.

• Provide boat management, charter services and income generation for your yacht. You should expect a minimum of 20 weeks charter income p.a.

We will promote, manage and maintain your yacht throughout the year. We will provide a competitive charter income for the boat. We do not fix the usage of the boat, but will work directly with you to give you access to the boat as desired.

• Your yacht becomes yours after 5 years.

After 5 years, your yacht will be thoroughly reconditioned before being handed back to yourself. Your boat is yours now to do with as you please.

Unlike other charter companies, we do not provide fixed packages that you have to work with. We will custom design you boat management / partnership package to suit your requirements.
