We analyse your route together before you set sail: weather, wind, tides, currents, anchorages and ports along the leg; narrow passages and risk points; estimated times, fuel consumption and a contingency plan for bad weather. All tailored to your vessel type and crew level.
We check whether your vessel has the equipment needed to protect lives: lifejackets, lifebuoys, tethers, liferaft, fixed and handheld VHF, EPIRB, PLB and AIS. You receive a clear assessment: what you have, what you are missing and what to prioritise for your type of sailing.
GPS, chartplotter, autopilot, AIS, radar, depth sounder and communications systems: guidance on what equipment you need, what is sufficient for your type of sailing and how to get the most out of it. Can also help evaluate used electronics before buying.
Vessel abandonment protocols, liferaft management, distress signals, emergency communications and basic first aid on board. Real-world judgment on how to act in a maritime emergency — based on offshore experience, not theory.
Before you sign or pay anything, we review the listing, photos and available documentation together. Help identifying structural, engine or equipment issues that are not always obvious, with guidance on the real cost of operation and what would be needed to make the vessel properly seaworthy.
Tell me your situation and together we'll figure out which advisory makes the most sense for you. No commitment required.
