Why Work with a Specialized Buyer’s Agent for a New Build?

We Represent You—Not the Yard
Traditional yacht brokers or dealers frequently align with the shipyard or have a vested interest in specific models. Brokers usually receive a commission, this tells you alot about where their priorities are. As a buyer’s agent, our loyalty is exclusively to you - you pay us. From identifying reputable builders to negotiating key contract clauses—like single-point accountability—we make sure every stage of your new-build aligns with your vision and safeguards your investment. We represent your interests.


Avoid Overpayment Through Expert Negotiation
New builds often involve complex payment schedules, milestone deposits, and equipment upgrades. Our data-driven approach ensures you pay for actual progress, maintaining leverage throughout the project. By analyzing global market trends and in-depth contract details, we help you secure the best possible deal—often offsetting our fees through the savings you’ll realize. If this is your first build you are negotiating against someone who does this all the time.


Extensive Market Insight & Network
Our professional network spans surveyors, finance specialists, maritime lawyers, boatbuilders, engineers, delivery skippers and shipping partners, ensuring you have access to trusted experts at every turn. Whether you need insight into cutting-edge materials, advanced navigation systems, or the reputations of various yards, our market knowledge helps you make informed, confident decisions—fast.


Hands-On Oversight for Build Integrity
Commissioning a yacht isn’t just signing a contract. It’s about due diligence, regular inspections, and thorough sea trials to confirm the builder meets agreed-upon specs. As your advocate, we coordinate surveys, manage punch-list items, and ensure the builder remains accountable, so you’re not stuck in a blame game between yard and equipment suppliers.


Transparent Logistics & Delivery Management
Handling delivery—whether it’s by ship, overland transport, or sailing the new boat to your home port—can be fraught with regulatory hurdles, customs protocols, and scheduling constraints. We orchestrate these logistics flawlessly so you can focus on the excitement of owning a brand-new yacht, not getting bogged down in paperwork or red tape. We take the pain and complexity away.

Our Step-by-Step Process

1. Initial Consultation & Needs Assessment

​

  • We Begin by Listening: We dive into your background, boating experience, and desired use for your future yacht

  • Identify Contract Gaps & Risks: If you have an existing contract or builder in mind, we pinpoint loopholes or vague terms that could cost you later.

  • Tailor a Custom Strategy: We then develop a roadmap—covering specifications, payment structure, inspections, and warranties—that keeps you in control from the outset.


2. Yacht Builder & Contract Negotiation
 

  • Buyer-Centric Terms: We negotiate payment schedules based on tangible milestones, ensuring you don’t lose leverage by paying too much too soon.

  • Protective Clauses: We embed single-point responsibility (so no blame-shifting), extended warranty terms, and performance metrics for sea trials—all of which reduce post-build headaches.


3. Build Oversight & Periodic Inspections

 

  • Quality Assurance Visits: We coordinate regular site checks (in-person or virtual) to verify compliance with specs, spot any emerging issues, and ensure timelines remain on track.

  • Mid-Build Adjustments/Variations: If you want to switch up equipment or design mid-stream, we manage change orders to avoid runaway costs and keep everything transparent.


4. Sea Trials & Commissioning

 

  • Thorough Testing: Our experts conduct exhaustive tests on engines, electronics, rigging, water makers—everything. If any system underperforms, we make sure the yard fixes it before final acceptance.

  • Hands-On Calibration: We confirm proper rig tuning, electrical load management, and all specialized systems—so you get the performance, comfort, and safety you paid for.


5. Delivery & After-Sale Support

  • Smooth Logistics: We handle transport, whether you’re shipping the yacht overseas or taking delivery locally—dealing with all customs, registration, and compliance details.

  • Ongoing Advocacy: If warranty disputes crop up post-delivery, we step back in, ensuring you remain protected and your investment is honored.
