• Berth or dry marina: Make sure you have access to a berth at your port or yacht club, or a space in a dry marina suitable for the chosen boat.

• Boat insurance: Review the different coverage options offered by insurers, from a basic mandatory policy to full comprehensive insurance.

• Maintenance and warranty: Ensure you will have access to an official maintenance service, essential to maintain the boatyard’s warranty.

• Registration process: Find out who will handle the registration or official documentation process with the Maritime Authority.

• Safety equipment: Confirm that the boat will be delivered with all mandatory safety equipment required for the selected navigation area.
