What this video covers

Connor and Kelly, with their children, travel from Idaho to France to inspect a 2004 Privilege 585 catamaran named Ocean Med, listed for sale through Cath Yachts, as part of a two-week, four-boat shopping trip spanning France, Spain, and the Virgin Islands.1:11 The broker contact is Catherine from Cath Yachts.4:08 Connor, who has a construction background, notes minor finish-quality issues he would want to address, flags a three-year-old battery bank likely needing replacement, and raises concern about generator age — with lead times reportedly a year out for new units.4:30 Kelly's main reservation is the lack of seating and cushioning on the flybridge.5:41 The family is based near Canet-en-Roussillon; after the boat inspection they visit the Oniria Aquarium, which covers aquatic life from mountain to tropical ecosystems and includes axolotls, jellyfish touch tanks, a coral cultivation station, and a coral ecology research lab.5:55 The battery bank and generator lead-time issues are the most concrete purchase risks identified on the Privilege 585.4:48
