A new boat from the yard

How to buy a new catamaran or trimaran

A new boat is built for you. I handle the purchase from choosing the model to handover at the yard, and deal with the yard for you at every stage.

Step by step

How the purchase works

Build time depends on the model and the yard’s order book — I’ll give you a date once we’ve chosen the boat.

Brief and model. Where and how you’ll sail, how many on board, sail or power. I’ll suggest suitable models and explain the differences.
Options and the yard’s offer. We put together the options, electronics and finish. The yard prepares an offer priced for your specification.
Contract and deposit. We sign the contract and pay the deposit. Payments follow the terms of the contract.
Build. I stay in touch with the yard, send photos and updates, and handle questions as they come up.
Handover. Inspection and sea trials at the yard, then handover of the boat and documents.
Delivery — optional. We can arrange delivery to your port. Details below.

Prices on the site are the yards’ base prices, ex VAT, ex works. The final figure depends on options, delivery and taxes.

I’ll send the exact price for your specification together with the yard’s offer.

You can collect the boat at the yard. On request we arrange delivery to a port of your choice on the Mediterranean coast, on separate terms.

Delivery to the Black Sea coast is a separate option. Terms, timing and cost of delivery are agreed separately.
