Put the essentials first
State your date range and how flexible it is, then give the number of guests and required bed arrangements. If one guest needs easier boarding or a particular cabin feature, raise that privately at the start. Essential requirements should be checked before the group becomes attached to a vessel that cannot meet them.
Describe the kind of day you want
Use concrete preferences: a slow morning, guided snorkeling, diving appropriate to the group, photography or time on deck. Name the experiences that matter most and which are optional. A planner can work more effectively with that description than with a request for the best or most luxurious boat without further context.
Give the comparison a consistent scope
Ask shortlisted proposals to state vessel, nights, charging unit, route, inclusions and exclusions. If you have a budget range, explain whether it covers only the charter or the wider journey. Do not assume flights, park fees, equipment or optional services sit inside every quote; ask each proposal to make its own scope explicit.
Turn open questions into a clear next step
Ask the desk to distinguish an available option from a tentative suggestion, and note any hold expiry or unresolved requirement. Before committing, check payment instructions through the established booking conversation and read cancellation and substitution terms. The result should be a shortlist you can evaluate, followed by one agreed written proposal.
