Our Experience
Today most of us realizing the dream of living on the water hire a professional for the pre-purchase inspection only. Often one does not place much weight on other equally important stages of this transition. Doing your homework and preparing diligently pays off immensely avoiding costly mistakes, delays, and even crew/family conflicts.
Our team relies on a vast expertise, experience, and passion for sailing, boat design and construction, as well as long-term life aboard. We provide the best and most comprehensive theoretical and practical knowledge ranging all the way from psychological aspects of decision to spend significant time aboard a floating home all the way to setting sail in a most efficient, cost effective, safe, and well organized manner.
Based on many years of our extensive experience as both sailors, engineers, and designers we will recommend the best suited solutions for your particular needs. Thanks to our involvement you’ll avoid potentially expensive experiments, streamline the process, most likely save on the overall cost, and end up with a boat that serves you well day in and day out for years to come.
Our multihull passion reflects our vast experience in the following areas:
- yacht design and construction

- yacht deliveries and charters
