How We Can Help
Buy or sell with confidence.
We can help you sell your yacht independently — prepare a clear and appealing listing, choose the right marketplaces, and present it professionally. If you’re looking to buy, we can review offers together, check the technical condition and additional equipment. We also have access to selected charter yachts that may be available for private purchase. Sometimes we also match buyers and sellers from within our own trusted network.
Plan your charter the smart way.
We help you choose the right yacht, route, company, and timing — based on real experience, not glossy brochures. We also have access to a professional charter booking system with verified fleet data and real availability — not just retail portals. If you already have an offer, we can review the contract, payment terms, and conditions before you sign or transfer money. This often prevents misunderstandings and unnecessary costs once the trip begins.
Stay protected and in control.
We represent your interests when dealing with brokers, shipyards, surveyors, refit teams, and marinas. Our role is to make sure information is clear, decisions are transparent, and your position remains secure throughout the process. We work fully on your side — with no commissions or hidden interests.
Make Europe make sense.
We explain how VAT, flag registration, insurance, and Temporary Admission work in real situations — without bureaucracy or confusing terms. Our goal is to help you plan your yacht’s movement, paperwork, and ownership structure in a way that’s compliant, practical, and easy to manage.
Learn your yacht with real support.
After you buy your yacht or obtain your skipper licence, the first months are when most questions and mistakes happen. We can help you get familiar with your yacht — assist during handover, sea trials, docking practice, and seasonal preparation. When you can’t be on board yourself, we can represent you on-site — during deliveries, refits, inspections, or marina handovers — ensuring your yacht is looked after and your interests protected. Our goal is to help you gain confidence and routine on board, step by step, without unnecessary stress or risk.
