Sales Brokers Grant and Kevin on: island hopping by semi-custom yacht

Will you choose the myriad Caribbean islands with their white sand beaches, historic coves and rich culture? Or will it be the Aeolian islands, famed for their volcanic landforms, ancient architecture and unbeatable cuisine? Whether you opt for one of these or a different array of islands, with a semi-custom yacht you’ll have complete freedom to plan your itinerary as you wish, waking up each morning in a new location.

For anyone considering their next yacht purchase, Kevin recommends that you first thinking about your needs as an owner and how you intend to use it. ‘A client should ask themselves what is most important to them when they consider how the yacht is to be operated. Do you value a sleek, open style design with limited layout options, or would you prefer a displacement yacht with a larger volume and more expansive deck areas?’

If you’re itching to get out onto the water on your very own vessel, a semi-custom yacht is a great option thanks to the significant time and cost saving elements. As Kevin explains, ‘As the hull, machinery and technical spaces have already been developed, this removes much of the time that would normally be spent on the design and pre-engineering phase of a custom build project.’
