With many years of hands-on experience in shipyard operations, our team offers top-tier supervision services throughout the new-build process — from the procurement of materials to the final delivery of the vessel. Our extensive background enables us to manage this process with confidence and precision.
We oversee every stage of the project on behalf of the ship or boat owner — or the main contractor or shipyard — ensuring that the requirements of the contract are fulfilled, the timeline is respected, and the expected quality is met.
Yacht Construction Services
- Providing support during the incoming quality control checks for materials supplied for the vessel when required.
- Inspecting the environmental and physical conditions of production areas and storage facilities, and implementing corrective actions as needed.
- In fiberglass boat production, conducting quality checks beginning from the mold stage, monitoring the lamination process, and supervising the assembly of structural components.
- In metal hull construction, ensuring alignment with class-approved plans, and regularly checking welding and overall workmanship quality.
- Verifying that all mechanical, electrical, insulation, piping, painting, and auxiliary installations are carried out under suitable conditions and according to approved technical drawings.
- Assessing the aesthetic and ergonomic aspects of the vessel, including furniture installation, entertainment systems, and all elements that contribute to comfort and cosmetic appearance.
- During harbor acceptance tests, checking that all alarms, warnings, and protective systems are functioning fully and correctly.
- Conducting sea trials prior to delivery to evaluate the vessel’s performance, test all systems, confirm compliance with contractual and class standards, and ensure the correction of any identified deficiencies.
Our ultimate goal throughout the construction process is to implement value-adding actions that lead to complete customer satisfaction.
Our Key Principles for Yacht Construction Services
- Timely delivery is often a challenge in yacht construction and requires meeting defined milestones. For this reason, we work in close collaboration with the shipyard — providing both supportive and motivational oversight. Proactive planning in the early phases can help prevent problems, minimize delays, and reduce future warranty issues, benefiting both the yard and the owner.
- Identifying and reporting delays, inconveniences, or quality concerns in a timely manner — and resolving them through clear coordination and informed guidance — is a critical part of our supervision.
- Due to the thin metal sheets used in yachts, distortions during welding are common. It is vital to follow approved welding procedures with correct sequencing and controlled heat input, and to perform stress relief as needed. Using fillers to correct deformations can compromise structural strength and increase labor unnecessarily. Since welding is a critical operation, it requires careful monitoring to ensure quality and prevent corrosion.
- For fiberglass vessels, we ensure that lamination is performed under proper humidity and temperature by certified staff and in accordance with approved procedures. Errors at this stage can cause long-term problems, so early prevention is essential.
- We recommend modifications to design drawings when needed to align with local regulations, improve ergonomics, simplify maintenance, or enhance usability. We also ensure that systems behind walls or panels are accessible for service or operations.
- In tight working environments, equipment must be protected from damage after installation and before delivery. Even minor post-delivery damages can affect satisfaction, so we take preventive steps and check equipment impacted by hull configuration.
- We conduct inspections of critical outsourced components or systems at their original manufacturing sites when these are not produced within the shipyard.
- Proper marking and labeling are verified to facilitate maintenance, repair, and operation throughout the vessel’s lifecycle.
- The final inspection before handover includes reviewing contract requirements, testing systems, conducting sea trials, and assessing both interior and exterior cosmetic finishes. A detailed list of missing or defective items is prepared by our surveyor and submitted to the boat owner or main contractor for resolution.
- During the final delivery process, we ensure all certificates and documentation are in line with contract terms and comply with classification society and flag state regulations.
We strive to deliver the highest standard of service, drawing on the expertise we’ve gained through partnerships with top-tier European shipyards.
