Planning window

For this yacht, confirm preferred dates, guest count, cabin needs, and cruising area together so the quote reflects the real plan. the best-looking option is not always the best route option once boarding point, lunch, and return timing are fixed.
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. KENSHO should be evaluated against that rhythm, not only against specs.
Shortlist logic

Broker caveat
Ask the broker to state the limitation as plainly as the advantage. For KENSHO, the check should cover availability, owner approval where relevant, cruising area, APA, fuel, and whether the planned route still works in real weather.
