Who this yacht suits
IKIGAI is not a generic inventory pick. It is a better match when the client wants a flagship charter mood built around privacy, hosting, and status, a larger group day where deck flow matters, and a route shaped around Positano, Amalfi, and a late swim stop.
Local route logic
The local decision is less about distance and more about timing. Around Mediterranean and Capri, IKIGAI should be planned with boarding point, lunch stop, swim time, and return window in one brief. In practice, treat Capri as a timing decision, not just a destination name.
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. availability, cruising area, and APA assumptions should be checked before presenting IKIGAI as confirmed.
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. IKIGAI should be evaluated against that rhythm, not only against specs.
Shortlist logic
IKIGAI 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 IKIGAI, the check should cover availability, owner approval where relevant, cruising area, APA, fuel, and whether the planned route still works in real weather.
