Representative Engagement

Yachts & Superyachts

Vessel selection, specification, survey coordination, valuation, negotiation, delivery and management.

Overview

A yacht purchase combines a technical survey, a commercial negotiation, a flag and ownership structure, and an operating plan that begins immediately on delivery.

AIFEG coordinates each of those and keeps them aligned to what the owner intends to do with the vessel.

Typical challenges

  • Survey findings arrive within short decision windows.
  • Refit scope is estimated before the vessel is properly assessed.
  • Annual running cost is understated relative to intended use.
  • Flag, ownership and charter structure are decided too late to be optimal.
