European Boat Manuals

[cmyler]

I'm searching for an owners manual or opeators manual for a 2001 Apreamare 11. The manufacturers website doesn't seem to have anything on it and I've searched online but to no avail. I feel like I'm missing something in how I am searching or where. Any help would be appreciated.

Welcome to CF :-)!

You are probably not really missing anything. Yachts don't usually have "owner's operating manual"s in the sense that motorcars do. There is a presumption that people who buy yachts need no specific instructions because they are already thoroughly familiar with the fundamentals of yacht maintenance and ships husbandry as well as of navigation and operation.

If there is anything regarding those things in respect of your boat you would like to discuss, do sing out. I'm quite sure there is someone in our forum who can help you.

All the best!

A lot of charter boats do have operators manuals.
No idea if your boat is common in the charter market, but you might get lucky.

While they have been mostly sailboats, all of the yachts I've owned had Owners manuals which indicated many of the operating aspects of the boat as well as the equipment make and model of the individual equipment provided by the manufacturer such as portlights, valves, etc. The manuals also gave locations of water lines, electrical schematics and wire runs, etc. An example of a Hatteras operating manual is at

Call the manufacturer?
