Operations

SUPERYACHT OPERATIONS

Our yacht management team will handle all of the expenses of the yacht, managing entirely the finances of each vessel, on an agreed budget with the captain and owner. Using a dedicated bank account, our yacht manager will budget expenditures based on years of experience, pay the bills, balance the accounts and credit cards for the yacht. The reporting is done monthly, quarterly and annually, comparing the forecasted budget and the actual spendings of the yacht, with details of any variations. Our team operates with the utmost integrity and ethics assuring transparency in the management and finances of your superyacht. 

SERVICE SCOPE

Our Operations Management Service covers all critical aspects of operating a vessel. An experienced and highly qualified yacht manager with 12 years of relevant experience will be in charge of your account. The Yacht Manager will oversee vessel inspections to ensure the highest level of proficiency every four to six weeks, or as required by you.

Our Operations Management service also offers an alternate source of in-depth knowledge, associated with the operation of the vessel to your unique requirements and standards. This is important in terms of maintaining the required service delivery during normal operations, but also in times of major crew change.

OUTCOMES

By working with an Operations Management team, the owner is guaranteed vessel inspection reports, next to safe, efficient, effective and justifiable operations. Compliance with the objectives and standards required by the owner and regulatory authorities is also assured. But most of all, our service allows you the owner to be free from the time-consuming task of operating a yacht in an ever-evolving international legal, regulatory, political and financial environment and more time to enjoy cruising.
