Hull, machinery, interior, systems. The whole work list, one yard.

Every technical work list divides into these four, and each one runs to its own schedule. We price all of it, and one project manager answers for the yacht.

Item 10.1

Every line item on your work list falls under one of these four groups

Item 10.2

What a project adds up to

A yard period here takes one of five shapes. The first three are class surveys with the date already set; the last two you place where they suit, usually on the back of a survey already booked.

10.2.1
5-year Special Survey refitClass sets the date

Class renewal, and the heaviest event of the cycle. Hull opened where the surveyor needs it, tanks and piping, machinery overhauls, and the work worth doing while she is already out of the water.

You leave with: class renewed, the handover file, and the certificates in it.
10.2.2
Intermediate Survey refitClass sets the date

The two-and-a-half-year event. Lighter than class renewal, and the natural window for systems work, an interior refresh or the jobs deferred at the last annual.

You leave with: the survey signed off and the deferred list cleared.
10.2.3
Annual maintenance & haul-outClass sets the date

Haul-out and launch, underwater gear, antifouling, shaft seals, and the service items that keep the annual survey short. The place to order the long-lead parts for the bigger event ahead.

You leave with: the annual survey behind you and the next one planned.
10.2.4
Major refit & repowerYou set the date

Main engines, generators, gearboxes and shaft lines — removal, the units themselves, installation and alignment, commissioning with the maker’s engineer attending. Most owners hang it on a survey that is already booked, so the dock and the removals are paid for once.

You leave with: the maker’s commissioning report and the sea trial results.
10.2.5
Full repaintYou set the date

Fairing and topside repaint under cover, with dedicated ventilation for topcoat work. It goes into the schedule first, because paint is where the dates slip.

You leave with: the coating system handed over with its own paperwork.

Arrival formalities, customs clearance on spare parts, transport, translation and crew accommodation near the yard run alongside any of the five, through the same project manager. Your crew ashore — Captains & crew →

Item 10.3

What we can lift and cover

Motor yachts of 24 to 100 m, 860 tonnes on the travel lift, and up to 60 m under cover for a whole winter. In a season there is room for around a dozen yachts, so the question is rarely whether we can take her, but which facility suits your yacht and has a slot free.

Cover matters as much as lifting. The modular hangar goes up around the yacht where she already stands, so blasting and heavy work carry on clear of the dust of the rest of the yard. The permanent hangar takes her in whole, on slings, with no transfer to a trailer — and it was fitted out for topcoat work, with the ventilation, the workshops and the stainless fabrication already in place.

Item 10.5

“Why wasn’t this in the quotation in the first place?”

Our quotations usually stay within 10% of the figure you signed, because we price the whole work list line by line before you sign anything: quantity, unit and hours against every line item.

Some line items cannot be priced until the panels come off. Those carry the note “to be confirmed” from the day you get the quotation, so you know which ones they are from the start.

Growth comes from work added to the list, and it goes the same route every time: a finding, a number, your approval, then the work.

Item 10.6

What every refit here includes
