01
Lifestyle and crew alignment
Define the geography, pace, purpose, crew relationships, comfort, complexity, and risk tolerance that make sense for you.
You do not need to own a boat
Useful for couples and solo cruisers
Focused on decisions, not hype
A working session—not another webinar
Leave with clarity, priorities, and a next-step plan.
The goal is not to convince you to buy a boat or move aboard. It is to help you organize the decisions, surface the gaps, and choose the next useful steps for your situation and your crew.
02
A more useful vessel profile
Connect your intended use to the capabilities, systems, size, and operating demands that matter most.
03
Your priority readiness gaps
Identify which financial, technical, personal, and operational questions should be resolved before you move farther.
04
A practical 90-day plan
Finish with an ordered list of actions based on your dreams, abilities, constraints, and current stage—not a generic template.
Workshop agenda
We will surface the key decisions in the right order.
The workshop follows the same progression NAVOPLAN uses to help dreamers become informed buyers and prepared owners.
1
Define the life you are planning for
Relationships, purpose, route, crew, timing, comfort, complexity, and risk tolerance.
2
Turn lifestyle needs into vessel requirements
Separate essential capability from attractive—but unnecessary—features.
3
Expose the hidden constraints
Money, experience, health, maintenance, insurance, operating costs, and timing.
4
Choose the next best actions
Create a realistic 90-day plan instead of trying to solve everything at once.
5
Live questions and discussion
Bring the decisions that are holding you back. The session is designed to be practical.
