Item 00.1
The yard in four numbers
What fits, what it costs, what you have in writing
Afloat or in the dry dock, and up to 60 m under our own cover for a whole winter.
Hauled out in Tuzla without waiting on a dock slot.
Versus a European yard on comparable work — the cost of the site and the labour, not of the standard.
18 on new work, 12 on the existing systems we open — in the contract on the day you sign.
The quotation format
What one line item contains
What a lump sum hides, and what one line item shows instead
The same job, quoted two ways: on the left, one figure with nothing underneath it; on the right, the line item opened all the way down, so it can be laid beside another yard’s offer and compared like with like — and so that where something is still unknown, you can see which line it is and how much of the job it holds.

Generator foundation, steelwork after inspectionto be confirmed
Every line item carries its quantity, its unit and its hours.
The line marked “to be confirmed” is the foundation under the old unit: the steel cannot be priced until the unit is out and you can see it, so it is priced and agreed with you before work on it goes on. Request the Rates & warranty sheet →

Amounts are approximate and come from a sample work list. Figures on this sheet describe how we price and how our yard periods have run, not what a final invoice will be; they apply to the scope agreed before the work starts.
Item 00.3
The warranty
You leave with 18 months on new work and 12 on her existing systems
Both terms are in the contract on the day you sign it, not in a certificate produced later if you ask for one. 18 months on new work, 12 on previously completed work. If our work fails inside that window, we put it right at our own cost within Turkey. If a warranty call takes us outside Turkey, the travel is at the owner’s expense.

The lines we had already priced were not reopened
48 m motor yacht, main engines and generators. She came in with a work list and left with a longer one — the additions were priced and agreed before work on them started, and after sea trials she was redelivered a day ahead of the date in the contract.
Item 00.4
How the yard period is scheduled
Four schedules that have to meet on the same day
A work list can run to 15 sections and more, but on board it comes down to four schedules running at once. Each has its own trades, its own suppliers and its own waiting, and any one of them can hold the other three up — so the yard period is planned as one job rather than four. That is why there is one contract and one person to call for all of it.
One yard period · one answer
Which of the four goes first is what decides the redelivery date, and the class calendar decides when she has to be here at all.
How a yard period works
Start with your yacht
Two ways to start, and neither of them needs a finished work list
Ask for our rates and the quotation follows once we have been through the line items together. Or talk to the manager who would run your yard period and tell us what you are up against: the class date you are working to, the jobs you already know about, and the ones you suspect are sitting behind a panel.
