Why does my yacht need a refit?
A yacht may need a refit due to age or change of ownership. Vessels over five years old often require paint, mechanical updates, or modifications. New owners frequently customize their yachts with aesthetic or eco-friendly upgrades, tailoring them to personal preferences and ensuring optimal performance for their intended use.As we mentioned, though, there are many other reasons why a superyacht requires a refit. These include surveys for legal reasons and routine maintenance work, such as:
- Five-year statutory surveys, required by flag states
- Repainting the antifouling (every one to two years)
- Repainting of the hull (every three years)
- Repainting the superstructure (every three to five years)
- Emergency repairs
- Engine and machinery overhaul
- Extensions to the vessel
- Upgrades to the interior
- HVAC system upgrades and servicing
Of course, superyachts may also enter a refit yard to be repaired, extended, converted, or completely renovated, or a combination of all four.
What should a client consider when choosing a yard?
Our experts advise that while selecting the best refit provider, there are several other aspects to take into account in addition to the services the yard offers.
For instance, determining a yard’s reputation and financial stability is crucial. After all, how can you be certain that they will be able to meet—and even exceed—your expectations if they are not highly recommended by previous customers?
Another excellent piece of advice from insiders is to find out if a yard offers competitive pricing in order to build a lasting relationship with the vessel. It makes sense to wonder if potential yards are trustworthy partners if it does not wish to enter into a business partnership with them that will benefit both parties.
