From requirements to an informed choice
There is a wide choice of yachts, each with its own possibilities and concerns. Yacht buying advice gives you an independent technical sounding board throughout the selection process.
How can I help?
- Discussing your cruising plans, desired equipment and maintenance expectations.
- Reviewing specifications, advertisements and available documentation.
- Helping you formulate questions for the seller or broker.
- Accompanying a viewing or carrying out a targeted initial assessment.
- Identifying areas to focus on in a possible pre-purchase survey.
A first impression is not a full survey
Advice during selection helps you decide whether further investigation is worthwhile. A full technical assessment requires a separate pre-purchase survey including an out-of-water inspection and sea trial.
You remain in control
I provide independent technical judgement and practical advice. You decide which yacht suits you and what to do next. We agree in advance which stages you would like help with.
