| Pre-Purchase Consulting Are you new to boating? Returning to boating after some years of being boatless? Considering upgrading to a larger, more powerful vessel and feeling somewhat overwhelmed by the various options available? Don’t despair! You are not alone, and these are scenarios with which I am very familiar. Based on my personal experience of the many thousands of miles I have sailed locally, coastally, throughout the Gulf of Mexico, the Bahamas, the Caribbean Basin, South America, South Africa and twice trans-Atlantic with 40 different makes of sailboats and 20 different makes of tugs, trawlers and motor-yachts, I can help with seasoned, practical and unbiased advice. If you are contemplating the purchase of your first boat, I welcome the opportunity of working with you to evaluate your experience and then to better define your specific requirements and thereby refine, simplify and de-mystify your search. Have you considered the possible need for vessel familiarization or additional instruction? Would bareboat chartering, or a time-share, be worthwhile options before committing to a purchase? If you are returning to boating I am sure to be able to get you to start asking yourself the appropriate questions necessary to refine the search for a suitable boat, to undertake the vitally important independent research to help you make an informed decision, and to provide experienced, unbiased advice on potential suitable vessels. If you are upgrading, unless one has the experience and confidence to commission the construction of a custom-built vessel, any production boat will inevitably be the result of some necessary compromise. Let me help you define what you consider to be the most important requirements for your particular anticipated needs. As well as advice on vessel evaluation, I typically also provide follow-up support through the purchase phase and beyond with assistance in vessel familiarization, instruction and/or owner-assisted deliveries, if required. While I cannot, and will not, tell anyone which boat to buy, I am certain to be able to provide experienced guidance and help on which boat not to buy! Please contact me at your earliest opportunity so that together we may begin the search for your ideal boat. I look forward to hearing from you and to working with you. Capt. Jeremy Hopkins. |
