Finding our family yacht.
The search starts here.

Power or sail? Weekends away or longer stays? We are starting with our family’s needs, exploring the possibilities and sharing what we learn along the way.

YACHTNOT / THE PREMISE

Most yacht stories begin with the polished result.

Ours begins with the uncertainty.

We know we want more time together on the water. We are still working out what kind of yacht could make that possible: power or sail, one hull or two, and a layout we would enjoy living in.

Right now, there is no shortlist. There is a family brief to write, a lot to learn and a journey worth sharing from the beginning.

EPISODE 01 / IN PREPARATION

The search starts here.Power or sail?

Before the listings and the viewings, we need to ask what life aboard should look like. Our first episode will explore the family brief, the types of yacht we could consider and the questions we have yet to answer.
