Local route logic

In practice, match the yacht to the charter area before treating global availability as realistic.

Planning window

Guest experience

Shortlist logic

Broker caveat

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