So as you may already know, we have had a look at a new Jeanneau Sun Odyssey yacht – as well as a few others, and so far we are pretty impressed. I have got a million bits of paper here with what is included and prices etc, so I wanted to get it all down on the blog so I can stop carrying these bits of paper around, and hopefully when we look at other yachts we will have a base point to work from with this list.

So once you have got your yacht ordered, it still needs to be delivered somewhere and commissioned. The Jeanneau boat yard is in France, so the cheapest option would be to have it commissioned in France. We have been given the details of a company called Sail Atlantic Services who have yards either in the North or South of France depending on where you wanted to sail to first. We could possibly have it delivered in the North of France in Spring time, which would allow us to spend the summer exploring the UK, Ireland or the Baltic and then spend the winter going through the French canals and through to the Med for the following summer…

Commissioning

The basic commissioning package costs EUR 1,813 and includes

• Boat offloading at launching area after transportation
• Hull check
• Mast stepping
• Engine start up
• Electrical connections
• Sails and rigging
• Stanchions, push pits and life lines
• Anchor lines
• Padlocks for cockpit lockers
• Check and test of all systems
• Filling water tanks
• Complete cleaning of the boat

Optional extra services

• Installing bimini top and spray hood
• Filling of fuel tanks
• Installation of any electronics
• Antifouling                                            EUR 1,196
• Storage and installation of other items  EUR 3,24
• Fire extinguishers                                 EUR 150
• Radar reflector                                     EUR 34
• Gas bottles and regulators                    EUR 170

This company can even provide bedding, tableware, folding bikes, tenders & outboards, engine spares, generators and even groceries, so I imagine you could just turn up and sail away!

So there you have it, a price for us to work towards! I am sure there will be many more things to add on, but at least it is a starting point.
