New Build Consultation · Lagoon · Privilège · Nautitech

The right catamaran, the right slot, the right way to own her.

Ordering a new catamaran is dozens of decisions made months before you ever step aboard. Our new-boat team has walked owners through every one of them, from the first option sheet to the day she is handed over. We work for you, not the yard.

01 · Timing

Decide when to own her before you decide what to order.

The date you take possession drives everything else: your build slot, how she gets across the Atlantic, whether she arrives for a charter season, and which tax year she falls into. We plan backward from the day you want to be aboard.

The calendar every new owner plans around Seasons are typical; exact dates vary by year and region.

Possession date firstWant to be sailing in the Bahamas by Christmas, or in charter for the high season? That date sets your order deadline.

Price-list timingBuilders revise price lists and model-year specs. We tell you when ordering now protects the price, and when waiting gets you the update.

Tax-year timingFor business or charter use, the date she is delivered and placed in service can matter. We line the calendar up with your ownership plan.

02 · Build slot

We can see the order book. You get the best slot available.

Popular models sell out their production months in advance. We follow production across all three builders every week and know where openings appear, including slots released when another order changes.

Earliest realistic deliveryWhen you submit a build through our configurator, we send you the earliest delivery date the yard can confirm for that model.

Slot held on the right termsWe review the deposit, payment schedule and delay terms before you commit to a hull number.

03 · Options & customization

What to order from the yard, what to add later, what to leave off.

Options lists run to hundreds of lines. Some choices can only be made at the factory. Others are better, cheaper or easier to service when fitted at commissioning. We go through the list with you line by line.

Order at the factory

Built into the boat

  • Layout: owner’s version or charter cabins
  • Engine upgrades and drive choice
  • Generator and air conditioning pre-fits
  • Hull color, deck and interior finishes
  • Structural reinforcements and deck hardware

Hard or impossible to change after the hulls are laminated, and covered by the builder’s warranty.

Fit at commissioning

Added in the USA or at your base

  • Solar arrays and lithium battery banks
  • Navigation electronics and connectivity
  • Davits, tender and outboard
  • Canvas, enclosures and cushions
  • Watermaker and cruising upgrades

Often better value locally, with installers who will service them where you keep the boat.

Custom requests

Beyond the options list

  • Privilège: individually quoted changes throughout
  • Interior joinery and storage changes
  • Galley and appliance substitutions
  • Owner-specific systems and wiring
  • Written into the order sheet, not a verbal promise

We know what each yard will accept, what it costs, and how it affects resale.

Resale in mindWe sell the used boats too. We know which options buyers pay for later and which add little.

No duplicate packsBundled packs overlap. We make sure you don’t pay twice for the same equipment.

Right for your missionLiveaboard, charter program or weekend cruising each call for a different spec.

04 · Pricing & contract

Know the full cost to the water before you sign.

New boats are priced in euros, ex-factory. The number that matters is what she costs ready to sail where you will keep her. We build that number with you and review the contract, specification and payment schedule before you commit.

Our configurators show live factory pricing in euros. Shipping to the USA is quoted on request.

05 · Ownership, tax & placement

Where you take possession can change what she costs you.

Where title transfers, where she is first kept, how she is flagged, and whether she goes into a charter or business program all affect taxes and running costs. We lay out the options and plan them with you.

Take delivery in Europe

Sail her first

Accept her at the yard, cruise the Mediterranean, then cross or ship. We coordinate handover in France.

  • Export and EU VAT handling
  • Flag and registration choice
  • Crossing crew or yacht transport
Import to the USA

Arrive ready to use

Shipped and commissioned in the US. Where she lands and is first kept can affect sales and use tax.

  • Import, customs and Lacey Act paperwork
  • State sales and use tax planning
  • Commissioning port and installers
Business & charter ownership

Let her earn

Place her with a charter operator or run her as a business vessel, with the structure set up before delivery.

  • Charter program and base selection
  • Entity and depreciation planning
  • Management, insurance and usage weeks

TMC plans these decisions with you and works alongside your CPA and maritime attorney where you have them. This is not tax or legal advice.

06 · Handover & ownership transfer

The last 10% decides how the first season goes.

We manage acceptance, commissioning and sea trials, build the punch list, and make sure every item is fixed by the yard before you take final delivery. After launch we stay on as your advocate for warranty claims and setup.
