Get the perfect compromise in your choice of  your dream yacht!

Have you already found your dream yacht? The choice of the perfect yacht is like the quest for the best car. Finally, we opt for a compromise between comfort, performance and price. It is your ideas, your needs and your plans which determine the perfect compromise.

The market for sailing yachts has grown and developed tremendously in recent years. Yachts are getting larger and more comfortable and thus more complex and more expensive, the variety of models and types increasing drastically. In addition to well-known boat yards, interesting new vendors have entered the market. Even the second hand market opens up interesting possibilities – if you know your favourite models.

„Nobody knows everything, everybody needs advice.“ Therefore we help you when it comes…

  • to defining the requirements for your sailing yacht
  • to comparing and balancing the advantages and disadvantages of various yachts (e.g. by visiting boat shows or boat yards)
  • to evaluating the market for new and used boats according to your specification (e.g. through internet research and on-site assessment of the final selection)

Put your well being and safety first by choosing purposeful equipment!

Is your yacht in good condition and appropriately equipped for a safe trip? Fortunately, we no longer travel as Columbus did. These days, we have the choice of many advanced and practical solutions. What do you have to think about? What does your bluewater yacht really need?

There is a very simple rule: Everything that is important for your comfort and safety belongs on board. It is important that you can either repair equipment yourself, by using your own resources, or you keep spares ready for the same function. Anything else is dead weight, which generates maintenance, costs money, takes away valuable space and slows you down.

When passage-making, the forces of nature make enormous demands on build quality and materials. Very often, it is not a question of whether something will fail, but rather when. Have you ever thought through, what will happen, if you unexpectedly get caught in heavy weather?

No problem with good preparation. We support you when it comes…

  • to specifying equipment
  • to checking your sailing boat and the equipment for proper operation
  • to determining options in case of breakdown, and to defining emergency procedures

training

Sail and manoeuvre your yacht with ease, confidence and fun!

Do you know and understand the specific sailing and manoeuvring behaviour of your yacht? Each yacht has its individual characteristics and is basically not harder or easier to handle than any other; the handling is just different.

To sail and manoeuvre your yacht properly and efficiently provides confidence, and increases the satisfaction when sailing. Many small tips and tricks will make life on board easier.

With personal training tailored to your needs on board your yacht, we assist you when it comes…

  • to becoming familiar with your own yacht
  • to optimizing the handling and to improving the sailing performance
  • to forgeting the fear of difficult harbour manoeuvres

Take your personal instructor with you. Training can also be combined with a (first) long passage. It’s up to you to determine the subject of training, the duration and the location.

Save yourself stress and money with our help!

Do you have enough resources to manage your project? Many reports state that preparing a yacht for bluewater sailing is similar in many respects to constructing or renovating a house. A complex project requires close monitoring, ideally on site,  for the work to be finished with high quality, in the defined time and at reasonable cost.

So what to do when one’s own resources are limited and the time required is missing? The personal travel preparation is essential and cannot be delegated.

In this case we take the responsibility…

  • to find a suitable shipyard for the repair, maintenance and overhaul
  • to plan and prepare the defined work with the shipyard manager and personnel
  • to coordinate and supervise the work on site
  • to find solutions with the shipyard personnel
  • to ensure timely reporting to you
