Every step of the way.

Whether you're just embarking on the exciting project of creating a yacht or you're already
an owner and require management, our experienced team provide a complete
and efficient service at each stage that accounts for every detail.




Yacht Development

This is the initial planning stage of creating your yacht.

We draw up initial sketches based on your requirements and the yacht's intended purpose.

We recruit designers and naval architects based on the owner's vision.

Project Management

We oversee the yacht build and ensure everything is completed to the highest standards.

We locate the best yard for the project, taking the specifications and negotiating the contract with the shipyard.

We check the designs to ensure that they match up to legal and technical requirements, and create technical specifications for the build.

The building process begins with our experienced team overseeing the build and making regular progress reports.

We ensure that the yacht build is adhering to costing predictions and the budget, as set out in the contract.

We log the entire build process, conducting regular checks and drawing up reports.

We deal with any claims, processing them quickly and efficiently with minimal involvement required from the owner.

We send the vessel to be trialled at sea, and the finished yacht is launched and delivered to the owner.

Yacht management

We organise every element of your yacht ownership, from recruitment through to safety management.

This advanced system monitors the systems and machinery on your yacht from thousands of miles away.

Using our years of expertise and strong industry connections, we find the right captain to command your yacht.

We recruit crews worldwide, running background checks and providing training.

We work to not only comply with maritime regulations but exceed them, ensuring your yacht is in the ideal condition to be taken to sea.

We ensure that your yacht is correctly registered in case of inspection in ports.

Expedition planning

When your yacht is ready to set sail, we help you have the best possible exploration experience.

We plan engaging and exciting itineraries to some of the most beautiful and impenetrable areas.

We organise permit applications, recruit expedition staff and consider ecological regulations.
