You bought the boat. Now what?
Buying a sailing yacht is the easy part. What comes next is a long list of decisions, and it is hard to know which matter. Franco sits beside you, works out what the boat really needs, and takes you from land-based life to confident ownership.
How it usually goes.
Every job is different, but most follow this shape.
Walk the boat together
A calm first look at what you have: what works, what needs attention, and what can wait.
Separate want from need
Most new owners arrive with a wish list. Franco helps you see what the boat actually requires to be safe and enjoyable first.
Learn her properly
Practical familiarisation on your own boat, at your own pace. Systems, handling, maintenance and the habits that keep things simple.
Plan the first passage
Preparation, commissioning and planning, including moving or escorting the boat to her new home when that is part of the picture.
This is for you if…
- You have just bought your first sailing yacht.
- You are financially ready but short on hands-on experience.
- You feel overwhelmed and cannot tell where to start.
- You want practical guidance, not a list of unnecessary extras.
Questions about this.
I have never sailed. Is that a problem?
Not at all. That is exactly who this is for. You do not need to know the right questions yet. Just describe where you are.
Can you deliver the boat too?
Yes. Franco can escort or deliver the boat, for example from Sydney to wherever she is going, and teach you along the way.
