Specification snapshot: hull design, deck layout, and interior plan for German ownership

Choose the semi-displacement hull with a long waterline and reinforced keel to match German coast cruising, delivering stability, quiet operation, and efficient fuel use. The design emphasizes balance between performance and comfort, with a focus on a predictable feel in chop, easy handling for the crew, and a price that reflects high-quality materials and meticulous assembly. Lorenzo led the concept under the essence of precise engineering, while the emina console integrates navigation, power management, and systems monitoring for effortless control. Please note that the delivery package aligns with Grimaldi logistics and the companys service network to minimize delays and subpoenas, ensuring a smooth move from shipyard to German shores with optimism and confidence.

• Hull design
  • Form: deep-vee, semi-displacement profile for steady tracking and efficient cruising in varied sea states; flared bow and robust chines to reduce spray and improve grip in head seas.
  • Structure: reinforced hull skin, with strategic stringers and tank partitions that support weight distribution for a balanced back-to-back feel between crew and guests.
  • Ballast and trim: an integrated ballast plan allows fine-tuning of trim and heel, preserving comfort at different speeds and loads, especially when the fold-out transom and stern platform are deployed.

Delivery timeline: departure from Abaco, ocean transit, and German handover window

Plan a May departure from Abaco to exploit a stable trade-wind corridor, target a known 9–12 day Atlantic transit, and secure a German handover window that opens roughly two weeks after arrival.

Before lift, run a strictly organized pre-sail with the master and crew; lock moorings at Marsh Harbour until clearance; complete provisioning, fueling, and an electronic logbook that subscribers can access via official websites.

During the Atlantic leg, maintain a steady 12–14 knots using twin engines when necessary, toggle between sail and motor, and follow a route from Abaco to the Azores, along the Iberian coast, then up to Kiel for optimal weather margins; include optional short layovers at the Azores or Galicia to refresh crew and cargo.

German handover window: coordinate with the office to set a 5–7 day handover slot in Kiel or Hamburg; ensure passengers are present for sea-trial sign-off; the master leads a final systems check of electronic instruments, navigation, and controls.

Shipyards and gear: amels and huisman supply major subsystems; guillemot anchors and ancora gear provide mooring security; a genoa-based logistics wing handles spares, while a dedicated project suite tracks chartering decisions, passenger manifests, and routine maintenance; deck operations rely on a robust manjack for rigging and tender handling.

Management and communication: subscriber updates via websites keep owners informed; anonymous entries are avoided; the office coordinates with the master, crew, and German partners to maintain a steady cadence, and this encapsulates risk while the process feels controlled.

Port options and customs flow: German gateways, VAT handling, and registration steps

Choose Hamburg as the primary gateway for German delivery, with Bremerhaven or Kiel as reliable backups based on berth availability and the itinerary. This approach supports year-round planning and minimizes long delays at the pier.

Communications with the crew, Zoll agents, and your broker should begin well before the voyage. Share hull data (length, beam, draft), stateroom layout (including a twin arrangement), and deck equipment–such as huisman winches, antonini fittings, and alluria coatings–to speed inspection and acceptance. Such detail helps avoid surprises during the long, hands-on checks, especially when the weather cooperates for an on-time handover. If you plan to swim from a structured platform, confirm the fit and certification of the swim ladder as part of the pre-transfer review. When you map the route, consider marsh areas along the coast and aim to minimize time in those zones during night transfers to optimize safety and experiences for the crew and owner.

Customs flow and VAT handling: prepare pre-arrival documents (bill of sale, proof of ownership, vessel identification numbers such as hull number, insurance, and a complete equipment list). Zoll determines import VAT treatment, and your broker can guide you toward the most efficient path–whether VAT is due in Germany at import or if deferred accounting applies under your registration plan. Have a clear weather window and itinerary, including the nights you expect to spend in port, so the authorities understand when the user will operate the yacht. These preparations set the baseline for a smooth acceptance and avoid any unexpected charges or delays.

Registration steps: after VAT matters are confirmed, file for registration with the German Schiffregister through the relevant state authority (often via Hamburg or the port city’s registry). Assemble ownership documents, proof of insurance, crew list, safety certificates, and details about the hull, staterooms, and on-board systems. The process typically requires a certificate of registration, owner address verification, and safety declarations for navigation. Once accepted, you receive the vessel's German identifier and flag status, enabling you to proceed with local communications and the broader vacation itinerary. With support from a trusted broker or yard, the user experience stays smooth, and the long-term operations team can begin planning the first year of service, surveys, and potential inspections at such as areas as Bremerhaven or Kiel for future turnarounds.

Onboard systems: electrical configuration, navigation gear, safety devices aligned with German norms

Install a DIN EN 60092‑based electrical backbone with 230V AC shore power and a 12/24V DC distribution bus. Use a 3–4 kW inverter and a 600–800 Ah lithium bank, with a Battery Management System that stores cell data and enables active balancing. Route circuits with clearly labelled breakers, and store manuals in a lockable electronics cabinet. All equipment must be CE‑marked and listed in the yacht’s equipment catalogue, ensuring reliable operation for charter or private use. The serene turquoise paneling helps the crew feel confident as critical feeds stay visible, even under adverse conditions.

Navigation gear combines a high‑definition chartplotter, radar with practical range, AIS, and a capable autopilot. Connect GPS/GLONASS receivers to a redundant back‑up unit; use a solid NMEA 2000 backbone with a shielded network. A fold‑out cockpit display offers quick access to routes while MOB alarms and weather data remain prominent for safe handling. Equipment from Guillemot and Antonini brands is known for reliability and aligns with German norms for shipboard installations.

Safety devices follow SOLAS requirements and GMDSS standards, with SOLAS‑compliant life rafts stored in accessible lockers, EPIRBs, SART, and a reliable fire detection system paired with a fixed or portable fire‑extinguishing solution in the engine room. Gas detectors, bilge alarms, and handheld extinguishers accompany PFDs and lifebuoys stored in clearly marked stations. Muster plans, signage, and manuals stay organized in a dedicated store, ready for quick action by anonymous crew or charter guests. Advertising materials stay off the deck, while the onboard system encapsulates German compliance, brand integrity, and a strong heritage of safety and control.

Financing, pricing, and payment schedule for German buyers

Lock in a fixed-rate financing plan through horizon's German lenders, with a 25% down payment and a 36-month term to lock the total cost and simplify planning. Horizon Yachts Abaco supports german buyers with clear contracts, local tax guidance, and a dedicated account manager who speaks German from contract to delivery. This approach puts security over speculation and keeps your next steps on schedule.

Pricing is published in EUR and includes standard equipment, commissioning, and a year-round service package for the first year. The total price includes hull color choices, propulsion options, navigation gear, and add-ons selected from the options list, with VAT handling arranged for export to EU markets where applicable. The quote covers delivery to a German port or inland hub, including onboarding at the dock and a comprehensive handover, ensuring you are ready to go as soon as the crew is ready on board.

Payment cadence follows milestones: 25% at contract signing, 50% at yard completion and interior fit-out, and 25% on delivery after the sea trial. Between order and delivery, the schedule aligns with production slots; if weather or wind shifts occur, we adjust dates while preserving the same cadence. German buyers can select EUR settlement to minimize FX risks.

Financing terms offer fixed-rate options in 24, 36, or 48 months. Rates typically range from 4.5% to 6.5% APR depending on term and credit profile. A down payment as low as 20% can be negotiated for longer terms with a strong credit score. The arrangement includes currency protection and a transparent total that reflects included options, shipyard services, and onboarding. Our companys team coordinates licensing and deliveries with German authorities.

From a practical perspective, the process mirrors a coastal voyage: horizon focuses on culture, speed, and reliability. The service network covers areas along the coast, from calm shallow bays to deep-water harbors. The yacht is designed for year-round entertaining, with coral accents and a robust weather package that handles gusts and sea state. Captains undergo specialized training, and you’ll enjoy the beaches and seafood along the coast while the eagle watches over the horizon. This plan helps fill your calendar with test runs and final delivery, bridging your german ownership with the Abaco lifestyle. The approach offers a compelling alternative to sanlorenzo pricing, combining value, performance, and dependable support.

Pre-delivery inspection and handover checklist for MYSTIQUE before sailing

Book a dockside walk-through the moment MYSTIQUE returns, starting with hull integrity and exterior finishes, then verify power distribution and electrical systems for steady operation.

Track every item on the handover checklist and assign each task to a responsible crew member; secure consenting signatures from the captain, owner, and manager to keep acceptance clear and traceable.
