Testimonial from Steve Coombes, Pearl Yachts - After Sales Manager. W hy should we refit over buying new? Refit projects completed by Maritime Yacht Services (MYS) have been noted as better than in their original new condition, justifying the question regularly asked, 'Why should I refit over buying new?'. The state of a well-used boat can be deemed a right off; however, with their skilled experts, they can replace and recondition every element of your vessel to state-of-the-art. They are ultimately saving considerable amounts of valuable funds that can be redirected elsewhere. Design changes are also possible if a boat is not performing as required; their technical engineers and design team can identify and provide reliable solutions to ensure a more efficiently run vessel. MYS has access to first-class facilities, where the vessels are given the care and attention you expect. We offer a full range of services, including but not limited to paint, structural and GRP repairs, respray facilities, electronics, fixture and fittings, engineering and installation, teak decking, tube repair, and replacement. Maritime Yacht Services is the end service provider, facilitating your requirements; therefore, your vessel will not be sent to another firm nor managed remotely. You will communicate directly with Sophie, James, and your designated project manager on the ground. Thus, at any time, you will know precisely when the scheduled work commences, including weekly cost reports sent with photo records. Video - James talks about enhancing a swim platform. We are concerned with the length of time my vessel is out of action: Projects have a reputation for escalating into often complex and costly affairs. Sophie and James at MYS ensure that each stage runs as smoothly as possible; pre-planning meetings to establish client expectations and specifications, as well as limiting the chance of delays and rising costs. They know that time-sensitive projects rely on accurately estimating task durations and substantial resources available. They ensure that everything is managed effectively with impeccable communication and structure whilst staying flexible for the client. "I am very fortunate that my refit teams are predominantly from a superyacht tender and high-performance manufacturing background, understanding the quality required, whose dedication to excellence and knowledge couldn't be more fitting to satisfy our client's requirements. I have known many of my team members for over twenty years, and we work as one large extended family. It is not a job; it's a way of life to us all," states Sophie Tapp. Video - Pearl 62, Sophie has a chat with Andrew, one of our most prestigious clients.
