Superyacht Refits

Despite being in the midst of the charter season, thoughts will be turning to the need for commercial vessels to have a refit in the autumn or winter, depending on whether a Caribbean season is contemplated.

It is best to secure an early slot at a reputable refit yard so that contractual arrangements can be settled well in advance of the yacht’s arrival at the berth, particularly where a combination of warranty, insurance, and private works are contemplated.

Most yards contract on amended ICOMIA forms, and we have substantial experience in negotiating these so that the refit operation proceeds in an organised and predictable fashion.
