New Boat Support

If you are looking for a new or second hand boat for your Bluewater adventure, we can:

• Offer advice on your ideal boat type and help with pre-purchase investigations

• Identify the most tax efficient options for you, where to flag your vessel and have it delivered to

• Calculate initial budget projections for upgrades, refits and on-going maintenance.

​

Did you know you can take delivery outside your country of residence and therefore choose the VAT status of the boat?

A good relationship with your boat-builder or broker can increase the efficiency of your build. Identifying issues early will shorten handover timescales and reduce warranty issues.

 

We can project manage your build for you or help guide you through:

• System upgrades and whether to complete them during or after the build

• Organise and accompany you on factory visits at the best intervals

• Provide independent advice on specification and extras offered by the builder.

​

New boats (like new houses) will always have some issues. We help you identify and log them with the builder early, to reduce safety issues and speed up rectification. It isn't unusual to find 50-100 points on a new 50ft boat.

​

We:

• Conduct a comprehensive assessment of all systems to identify issues

• Use industry-recognised software to log each problem with severity, supporting commentary, pictures and videos

• Provide the broker or builder with a detailed list and monitor remedial works.

Most production boats are not truly 'Bluewater' ready. By selecting and prioritising the right system upgrades you can improve safety and optimise your boat for your cruising schedule. 

​

We:

• Share our extensive knowledge of available systems in the commercial market

• Manage installations in-house or project manage using proven contractors 

• Consider how systems interact with each other to ensure seamless integration, improving both safety and performance.
