Local route logic

Planning window

For this yacht, confirm preferred dates, guest count, cabin needs, and cruising area together so the quote reflects the real plan. availability, cruising area, and APA assumptions should be checked before presenting EALU as confirmed.
Guest experience
For guests, the difference is felt in pace: where people sit, how lunch is handled, where swimming fits, and how the return feels. EALU should be evaluated against that rhythm, not only against specs.
Shortlist logic
EALU should be compared against at least one alternative if the brief is flexible. The useful difference may be cabin layout, crew style, speed, toys, berth access, or how naturally the yacht fits Caribbean and Mediterranean.
Broker caveat
Ask the broker to state the limitation as plainly as the advantage. For EALU, the check should cover availability, owner approval where relevant, cruising area, APA, fuel, and whether the planned route still works in real weather.
