New Build Management
Designing, contracting, building, and outfitting new, innovative, industry leading vessels is our favourite thing to do. Whether it's a 20' runabout or a 160' catamaran, we are in! Every New Build Consulting Agreement is tailored to its owner. We can take on specific issues, or the whole thing. Our fee is based on services requested and expenses incurred. It can be a customised as a flat fee or on a time and expenses basis.
Step 1: Needs & Wants Assessment
We begin by thoroughly understanding your needs and wants for the new build project. Our experienced team conducts detailed assessments to ensure that every aspect of your vision is considered, laying the foundation for a successful endeavor.
We have unique and innovative ideas to combine the aspirations of charter yacht owners with the industry-competitive needs to succeed in the charter industry.
We have special interests in developing new and innovative systems, working with renewable energy and materials, and catamarans specialising in Caribbean term charter and/or long range expeditions.
Step 2: Selecting and Instructing Designers
Our experts guide you in selecting the right designers for your project. We understand that every vessel requires unique expertise, and we work closely with you to ensure that the chosen designers align with your goals and aspirations. Through clear instructions and effective communication, we facilitate a seamless collaboration between you and the design team.
If you have selected a production vessel, this step is redundant.
Step 3: Selecting and Completing Naval Architecture
The Designer will draw the general concepts and looks that you want. It's the Naval Architects' job to turn that into engineering reality. Naval architecture is a critical aspect of any new build project. With our industry knowledge and network of professionals, we assist you in selecting the best naval architects to bring your vessel to life. We ensure that the naval architecture aligns with your specifications and complies with the necessary regulations.
