From dream to action
Sea Trials
After an initial discussion with our team, you've decided on a model. We now invite you to go one step further: to take the helm, feel her seaworthy qualities, measure her performance, appreciate her maneuverability and that feeling of control and safety so typical of our sailing yachts. Testing takes place primarily in Cherbourg, where several units are available according to production schedules. In certain cases, and thanks to the relationship of trust that binds us to our community, tests can also be organized on owners' boats, in other locations.

Third Step

1. Running-in
The delivery of your yacht marks the start of the running-in phase. During the first three months, you are invited to take to the open sea to sail, test, feel and familiarize yourself with all the systems on board, in real and varied conditions. At the end of this period, you return to one of the Grand Large Yachting group's bases for a full technical meeting: our teams will go through a detailed checklist with you to validate every aspect of the boat. This is a key step in setting off with complete confidence.
2. Warranty
During the first years of cruising, your boat is monitored by our Warranty Department. A dedicated exchange area enables you to easily report any event or adjustment you may wish to make. Each request is tracked, analyzed and processed by our teams with the rigor and attention that characterize our commitment.
This organization guarantees a fluid relationship, transparent processing and, above all, the peace of mind you need to concentrate fully on your sailing.
