Who: Diane Byrne interviews Daphne D’Offay, identified at publication as a senior charter manager and group director with Ocean Independence. Episode-page date: July 29, 2022. Length: approximately 23 minutes. Evidence: first-party transcript and episode page. (megayachtnews.com)

Key takeaways: The conversation explains broker-assisted selection, matching the crew to the guests, tailoring the itinerary and communicating dining preferences.

The enduring value is the emphasis on the experience the group wants, rather than simply choosing a vessel. Transcript. (megayachtnews.com)

Buyer application — desk recommendation: Ask each household to describe its ideal day: activity level, time ashore, dining style, desired privacy and tolerance for time underway. Resolve conflicts before requesting a shortlist.

Limitation: This is an archive selection. Its pandemic discussion, market observations and destination-supply comments should not be presented as current conditions.
