NEW-BUILD PRE-CONTRACT REVIEW

Before committing to a new-build yacht, every technical, commercial and operational detail should be carefully assessed. SeaNet supports owners before contract signature, helping identify risks, clarify obligations and ensure the proposed yacht is suited to its intended use.

CONFIDENCE BEFORE COMMITMENT

A new-build project begins long before construction starts. SeaNet reviews the proposed yacht, shipyard, specifications and contract framework from an owner’s and operator’s perspective, helping clients make informed decisions before significant commitments are made.

YACHT PLATFORM & SHIPYARD REVIEW

SeaNet assesses whether the selected yacht platform is suitable for the owner’s cruising programme, lifestyle and operational expectations. We also review the shipyard’s reputation, experience and delivery track record, helping the owner understand the strengths, limitations and potential risks of the proposed project before moving forward.

SPECIFICATIONS, OPTIONS & PRACTICALITY

A yacht may appear impressive on paper while still containing design choices that create limitations later. SeaNet reviews technical specifications, standard and optional equipment, owner-supplied items, crew accommodation, maintenance access, tender and water-toy storage and the practical operation of the yacht. This helps identify decisions that may affect efficiency, service, comfort or future operating costs.

CONTRACT, DELIVERY & WARRANTY REVIEW

SeaNet supports the owner and appointed legal advisers in reviewing key commercial and project provisions before contract signature. This may include the proposed delivery schedule, payment milestones, warranty terms, change-order procedures and delay or liquidated-damages provisions. Classification and flag requirements are also considered to help ensure that the project framework is complete and realistic.

LIFECYCLE COST & LONG-TERM VALUE

The purchase price is only one part of the investment. SeaNet considers expected running costs, future capital expenditure, maintenance requirements and potential resale implications before the project begins. Drawing on owner-led operational experience, we help clients look beyond the initial design and assess how the yacht is likely to perform, operate and retain value throughout its ownership lifecycle.
