Technical Services
Technical Boat Services
Our technical services team is composed of seasoned marine engineers, captains, and certified surveyors with a proven track record in yacht maintenance and operations. We provide full lifecycle support for your yacht’s technical requirements, from day-to-day maintenance to complex engineering projects. By managing planned service schedules, coordinating specialist contractors, and ensuring compliance with class and flag requirements, we safeguard both the operational readiness and long-term value of your yacht.
Maintenance Management: We develop and monitor structured Planned Maintenance Systems (PMS), covering engines, generators, safety gear, and auxiliary systems. This proactive approach ensures that critical equipment is serviced on time, preventing failures and reducing costly downtime.
Technical Documentation: Detailed reporting is provided for all maintenance tasks, upgrades, and repairs. This includes logbook updates, defect lists, and full documentation of completed works, ensuring a transparent record that supports resale value and insurance compliance.
Insurance & Claims Handling: Our team manages communications with insurers, preparing technical reports, repair estimates, and photographic documentation. This guarantees smooth and efficient processing of claims, minimizing disruption to your yacht’s schedule.
Project and Yard Support: We prepare detailed shipyard proposals, review technical specifications, and negotiate quotations on your behalf. During yard periods, our engineers provide on-site supervision, ensuring that work meets the highest standards and remains on schedule and within budget.
Refit Management
A yacht refit is a complex and multidisciplinary process that demands precise planning, strong project management, and continuous oversight. Without expert guidance, refits can easily exceed both budget and timeline. Acting as your management partner, we coordinate the entire process from concept to completion, ensuring that your refit is executed efficiently, cost-effectively, and to the highest standard of craftsmanship.
Planning & Specification: Every refit begins with a thorough needs assessment, covering technical upgrades, interior design changes, and regulatory compliance. We translate these requirements into detailed specifications and budgets, ensuring full alignment with the owner’s vision.
Vendor Selection: Leveraging our extensive network of trusted yards, contractors, and suppliers, we identify the most suitable partners for each project. Transparent tendering ensures competitive pricing while maintaining uncompromising quality.
Project Oversight: Our technical managers supervise all stages of the refit, including hull works, system upgrades, interior outfitting, and paint application. Regular progress reports, photographic documentation, and budget tracking provide full visibility for the owner throughout the process.
Compliance & Certification: During refits, compliance with flag state and classification society requirements is paramount. We liaise with surveyors and regulatory bodies to ensure that all modifications meet safety, stability, and operational standards.
Delivery & Handover: At the conclusion of the refit, our team conducts rigorous testing, commissioning, and quality control inspections. Only when all systems and finishes meet our exacting standards is the yacht released back into service.
Whether it involves a technical upgrade to navigation and propulsion systems, a full interior redesign, or an exterior paint transformation, our refit management delivers results that combine engineering precision, aesthetic excellence, and budgetary discipline. With our expertise, even the most ambitious refit projects are transformed into successful outcomes that elevate both the performance and presentation of your yacht.
Emergency Technical Support & Troubleshooting
Even with the best maintenance, unforeseen failures or damage can occur at sea or in remote locations. Our emergency support service provides rapid response and expert troubleshooting to minimize downtime and restore functionality as quickly as possible.
- 24/7 Remote Assistance: Our engineers are available around the clock to provide technical advice via phone, video, or secure digital platforms, guiding the crew through immediate troubleshooting steps.
- On-Site Intervention: When remote support is not sufficient, we coordinate the dispatch of specialist technicians worldwide, ensuring critical repairs are performed without delay.
- Spare Parts Logistics: Through our global supplier network, we source and ship essential spare parts, from engine components to electronic modules, with priority logistics to reduce downtime.
- Failure Diagnostics: Using advanced diagnostic tools and methodologies, we identify the root cause of system failures, preventing repeat incidents and ensuring sustainable repair solutions.
- Emergency Docking Support: In case of major system failures requiring immediate yard intervention, we assist with emergency docking arrangements, liaise with port authorities, and coordinate temporary solutions to maintain safety.
Our proactive and reliable emergency support ensures that technical issues are resolved quickly, efficiently, and with minimal disruption to your yacht’s schedule. Whether in port, at sea, or in remote cruising areas, our team stands ready to deliver effective solutions and safeguard your yacht’s operational readiness.
Lifecycle Planning & Upgrade Strategy
Beyond immediate maintenance and refits, long-term lifecycle planning is essential to preserve asset value, reduce unforeseen failures, and maintain cutting-edge onboard technology. We create tailored upgrade strategies that align with the yacht’s operational profile, owner preferences, and budgetary framework.
- Asset Lifecycle Analysis: We evaluate the remaining service life of critical systems, from propulsion and generators to navigation electronics and interior fittings, and plan replacements before failures occur.
- Technology Upgrades: Integration of new propulsion technologies, hybrid systems, digital monitoring platforms, and energy-efficient solutions ensures that your yacht remains ahead of industry standards.
- Regulatory Alignment: Upcoming changes in maritime legislation (such as emissions standards, safety requirements, and environmental compliance) are factored into planning to ensure long-term conformity.
- Budget Forecasting: Multi-year maintenance and upgrade budgets are developed to give owners clear visibility of future investments and cost distribution.
- Value Preservation: Lifecycle planning ensures that upgrades and replacements enhance not only operational reliability but also resale value by keeping the yacht modern, compliant, and market-attractive.
By combining forward-looking engineering with precise financial planning, our lifecycle strategies provide peace of mind to yacht owners, ensuring that their vessel remains safe, efficient, and future-ready throughout its operational life.
