YOUR FIRST STEP

Your private owner brief.

Review privately before sending.

Start your owner brief
What you’ll share
  • How and where you want to use the yacht
  • Guests, essential features and preferences
  • Build approach, budget and timing

Nothing is sent until you request a project consultation.

PRIVATE BY DESIGN

Preparing a brief does not reserve a build or share your plans with a shipyard.

  1. 01

    Describe life aboard

    Start with your cruising grounds, guests and the features that matter to you.

  2. 02

    Shape your brief

    Review your priorities, download a copy and adjust your answers.

  3. 03

    Talk through the possibilities

    Request a private consultation with Ed. Sharing your brief with a shipyard requires separate permission.

BEFORE YOU BEGIN

A clear
starting point.

You control when your information is shared with Sea Island.

Can I start with just an idea?

Yes. The guided questions help you describe the way you plan to use the yacht. You do not need drawings or a finished specification to begin a conversation.

Which builders can we discuss?

Sea Island Yachts has current relationships with Caison and Tribute. Ed can discuss whether either yard fits your brief; builder availability and project responsibilities need to be confirmed separately.

What happens after the brief?

Discuss possible builders, scope and next steps with Ed. Technical design, engineering, contracts, inspections and delivery milestones require the appropriate professionals and separate agreements.

Does submitting commit me to a build?

No. This is an exploratory consultation request, not a quotation, build contract or shipyard reservation. Your project is not published as yacht inventory.
