How does the process work?
We start by assessing the condition of your yacht and your list of requirements, then recommend a shipyard suited to the scope of work. We arrange the appointment, confirm the budget and, once work begins, supervise the labour on site regularly. Painting, mechanical and refit items progress according to an agreed timeline, and we complete final checks with you at handover.
Why is timing critical?
Shipyard work peaks during pre-season preparation and end-of-season periods. Early planning secures both a suitable slot and delivery in time for your first departure. To avoid delays, we structure the procurement and labour schedule from the outset.

Frequently Asked Questions
How far in advance should I book a shipyard slot?
Because pre-season and post-season periods are busy, we recommend planning as early as possible so we can secure both a suitable yard and your preferred dates.
What is the difference between a refit and routine maintenance?
Routine maintenance covers periodic tasks such as hull cleaning and painting, while a refit is a comprehensive renewal of interior, technical systems and equipment.
Who supervises the quality of the work?
Our team monitors the work on site regularly, carries out quality control and completes final checks with you at handover.
