I just don’t want to find myself in the middle of the ocean and something drastic goes down.

I’ve done many new builds for clients
These are big complex yachts
The procedure is ... shipyard commissioning , then a 1or 2 month full on, all systems in action , local
cruise , then return to yard for warranty , observations and improvements
Once the yacht leave the yard for the second time it is fully found and ready for action
This cycle takes about 4 months
