Build & Refit Excellence

Project Management – Refit, New Build & 5-Year Surveys

Refits, new builds, and mandatory survey periods require organization, budgeting, and structured oversight. Global Yacht Management helps owners plan and execute these projects efficiently so the vessel is delivered on schedule, within budget, and with controlled downtime.

We do not perform the work—we coordinate, plan, and supervise so the yard and specialists deliver properly.

Refit Management

Refits can grow quickly if not properly scoped. We help by:

Defining technical priorities
Reviewing and comparing yard quotations
Scheduling works around Owner usage
Following up on progress and final handover

Having a structured plan reduces delays, avoids duplicated work, and secures better pricing.

New Build Support

For new construction or major conversions, we support direct communication with:

Shipyards
Designers
Naval architects
Surveyors and technicians

We track scope, timeline, variation costs, and milestones to ensure the yacht is delivered exactly as specified.

5-Year Survey Planning

Five- year surveys are an ideal time to complete upgrades—but without organization, they quickly become larger and more expensive than necessary.

We help by:

Planning the survey scope properly
Separating mandatory items from optional upgrades
Budgeting and costing both paths
Coordinating yard schedules and inspections
Preventing "scope creep"
Delivering realistic timelines and approvals

This optimizes downtime, ensures compliance, and avoids last-minute overruns.

What Our Management Provides

Structured scope and specification definition
Organized budget and cost projections
Scheduled milestones and progress tracking
Regular reporting to the Owner
Follow-up until documented completion
