Thinking About a European Pickup? Here’s How Kiwi Owners Are Doing It - and How We Can Help.

A growing number of Kiwi owners are choosing to take delivery of their new Lagoon, Excess or Beneteau in the Mediterranean, and the results speak for themselves. Warm water, long days, calm anchorages and world-class cruising grounds make Europe the ideal place to settle into a new boat before she eventually comes home to New Zealand.

Over the past few seasons, several of our clients have done exactly this. They’ve explored the Balearics, Sardinia, Corsica, Croatia and the French Riviera; taken part in brand events like Excess Campus; met other Kiwi owners overseas; and built confidence with factory teams and local skippers onboard. For many, the first season in Europe has become one of the most memorable parts of ownership.

A European pickup isn’t something you decide overnight. Most owners plan one to three years ahead, exploring the models, visiting boat shows, talking through timing, and shaping what their first season could look like. That early planning makes all the difference.

This is where our team comes in. Whether you’re in the “just curious” stage or actively planning for 2026 - 2030, we’re here to help you work through the process. We can talk through model features, delivery timelines, pickup locations, storage between seasons, skipper training, cruising routes, and how other Kiwi owners have structured their time in the Med.

If a European season is something you’d love to experience one day, now is the perfect time to start the conversation and see what’s possible.
