Buying a Ocean Independence yacht sales consultants is not a single decision, it is a sequence of smaller ones, and each deserves a direct question put to the yacht sales consultant guiding the process. The right questions early save time, money and disappointment later.
Crew briefing matters as much as the route itself. A consultant will typically pass on guest preferences, dietary requirements, and the group's general rhythm to the captain and chef ahead of embarkation, so the first day on board is not spent establishing basics that should already be settled. This is where the value of consultation over a simple booking becomes clear: the itinerary reflects the guests in front of the consultant, not a generic template.
Running costs deserve their own conversation. Crew, berthing, maintenance, insurance and management fees add up well beyond the purchase price, and a consultant should set out realistic annual figures in EUR rather than a vague estimate. Ask what ongoing yacht management involves and whether that sits with the same consultancy or a separate specialist.
Start with frequency. An owner who expects to spend three or four weeks a year on board faces a very different calculation from one planning ten weeks or more. Ownership carries fixed costs, crew, berthing, insurance, maintenance and management, that accrue whether the yacht is used for two weeks or twelve. Charter, by contrast, scales cost directly with time spent aboard, since a charterer pays only for the weeks actually booked.
Most survey reports open with a general description of the vessel and the conditions under which the survey was carried out, worth checking simply to confirm the surveyor inspected the vessel in a seaworthy state, out of the water, with systems operating where possible. The bulk of the report then covers the hull, structure, machinery, systems and safety equipment in turn, each section typically graded or flagged by severity.
Start with maintenance history. Ask to see logs covering engine hours, servicing intervals and any significant repairs, and ask specifically whether anything has been replaced recently versus simply serviced. A vessel with thorough, consistent records tells a different story from one with gaps, regardless of how it presents on the day.
