Yacht Refit Management
OPTIMISING YOUR YACHT UPGRADE
Ensuring What Is Delivered, Is What You
Dreamt Of
When you cannot find exactly what you are looking for on the pre-owned market and do not have the time to wait for a new build to be delivered, refitting an existing yacht to your specifications is often the perfect solution.

Works Assessment, Specification & Contract
An effective yacht refit management strategy begins with detailed works assessment, specifications, and contract preparation. Accurate quotations with fixed prices and minimal exclusions are essential. The Project Manager collaborates closely with your crew to develop a clear worklist and detailed specifications. Once the package is complete, shipyards are invited to submit competitive quotes. JMS Yachting carefully reviews each proposal against budgets, timelines, warranty terms, and certification requirements. This independent assessment identifies potential challenges early, mitigates risks, saves costs, and improves overall delivery schedules. Early contract and specification reviews are a key factor in avoiding surprises and ensuring a smooth project flow. -
Insurance Planning
As the contract nears completion, insurance considerations must be addressed. JMS Yachting works with yacht owners, shipyards, and subcontractors to fine-tune project details for a successful refit. Scheduling, payment structures, and critical path items such as Owner-supplied works are coordinated meticulously. With JMS Yachting’s experience, priority issues are effectively managed, ensuring the project starts in the right direction and remains aligned with your expectations. -

Regular shipyard meetings are held to review progress, address outstanding issues, and ensure all parties remain aligned. By maintaining close coordination, JMS Yachting guarantees that every step of your yacht refit is executed efficiently and professionally.
