Imagine collecting your new yacht, catamaran or motorboat in France; spending the Aussie winter exploring warm Mediterranean waters; stopping at picturesque quays to explore historical towns; sampling superb European cuisine and wine; and perhaps even sailing home via the South Pacific. Sound good? It is!
If you decide to pick up your vessel in France … you still benefit from the Flagstaff premium service level all our customers enjoy.
A member of our team will be with you from the day your order and on the road to delivery to remove the stress of navigating a foreign system.
We enjoy long-standing partnerships with highly experienced local commissioning teams including the Excess and Amel factories. And the level of service is exactly the same as Flagstaff customers experience in Australia. The same quality checks. The same quality service. All without the shipping expenses and tax.
DAY 0 – A Flagstaff team member and a factory technician will complete a full check of the boat and operating systems.
DAY 1 – Together we run you through a complete check of the boat and purchase order, followed by a christening and champagne celebration.
DAY 2 – Further briefing and check of all systems.
DAY 3 – Today we take you out for sea trials so you can become acquainted with your new boat on the water.
DAY 4 and beyond – Flagstaff will continue working with you until you are familiar with every aspect of your new yacht.
The Excess or Amel Premium Services teams are also on hand to assist with any after-sales enquiries.
Loving the European summer scene?
After completing our extensive five to seven day handover, you will be completely comfortable sailing your yacht. We provide you with valuable insights into the local waters and can assist in finding you the best skipper to take you further if needed so you can enjoy the best of the world’s most pristine destinations.
Our extensive network can help with winter storage and maintenance. All you need to do is hop on a plane and your yacht will be ready for your next adventure.
Once you’re ready to bring your vessel back to Australian waters we can quote on transporting your boat. Or, we can help you map out the adventure for you to sail back. We also help out with Australian registration.
Or if you decide to sell, we can arrange the sale and organise a buyer to collect your yacht in Europe.
Remember … no matter where you are in the world Flagstaff are just a phone call away … to help with whatever you need.
