How to buy
A clear path to your next boat.
Browse, make a shortlist, then request a configuration-specific quotation. An inquiry starts a conversation; it does not reserve a boat or create an order.
01 / Start with your day
Choose a family and compare the deck layout, reference length, storage and intended use. Tell us your usual crew, home waters and dock or storage limits.
For example, a family choosing between two Cove lengths may need to decide whether a larger lounge is worth the extra space required at the dock. A fishing buyer may instead compare access around a center console with shelter at the helm. Write down the constraint that would rule a boat out before comparing optional equipment.

02 / Make your preferences clear
Select equipment interests in the configurator. Add your country and region, purchase timeframe and budget if you have one. Choose “not sure” wherever you would like guidance.
Keep essential requirements separate from preferences. A storage limit or delivery location may be fixed, while upholstery color or an additional seat may be flexible. Describe the intended function when an option is not listed. The team can then review that request against the model rather than treating an unchecked box as a confirmed absence.
Saving preferences records a starting point for discussion. It does not calculate a final price or approve compatibility. If your use, destination or model changes later, ask for the configuration to be reviewed again and keep the revised version with the quotation.

03 / Review the details together
The next step is to confirm whether the model and configuration can be supplied for your destination. Engine and trailer compatibility, market documents, selling party and support arrangements must be reviewed before a quote is finalized.
Before accepting a package, request one consistent set of documents: the model and revision, configuration drawing, included equipment list and destination details. If a drawing and an equipment list disagree, resolve the discrepancy before an order. A verbal explanation should be reflected in the documents you will use at handover.
04 / Read the written quotation
Compare the same scope across offers. Confirm the exact configuration and responsibilities before payment.
Read the exclusions as carefully as the included items. An engine may be listed without installation, and transport to a port may leave unloading or onward delivery to you. Ask who books, pays for and coordinates each remaining step. Compare offers only after those responsibilities are visible.
Keep the accepted quotation, change records and payment terms together. At delivery, they become the reference for checking the boat, documents and equipment. Sending the website form begins this process; the written purchase agreement establishes the actual order.
