Local route logic

Planning window
May to September, when Capri timing, tender access, and lunch reservations need clean planning. For this yacht, confirm preferred dates, guest count, cabin needs, and cruising area together so the quote reflects the real plan. the final choice should account for weather, berth pressure, and how the group wants to spend time on board.
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. BON VIVANT should be evaluated against that rhythm, not only against specs.
Shortlist logic
BON VIVANT 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 Mediterranean and Capri.
Broker caveat
Ask the broker to state the limitation as plainly as the advantage. For BON VIVANT, the check should cover availability, owner approval where relevant, cruising area, APA, fuel, and whether the planned route still works in real weather.
