Yacht Refit Guide: Making Your Pre-Owned Oyster Your Own

If you’ve just bought or are considering buying one of our pre-owned sailing yachts for sale, the first thing on your mind will likely be getting aboard and starting your adventure. However, just as each person has their unique preferences about home design, each yacht owner wants their yacht to suit their personal tastes. At Oyster, we have an extensive yacht refit department with capabilities to make your brokerage sailing yacht your own. Below, we run through the refit process, yard locations, what can be changed and the ‘Oyster difference’.

The oyster yacht refit process: step by step.

From the moment you get in touch to talk about yacht refurbishment we are by your side, and we will help you every step along the way. The yacht refit process generally goes as follows:

• You reach out to Oyster Yachts Palma, our primary European sailboat upgrade centre. Operations Manager of Oyster Yachts Palma, Mark Durham meets with you to discuss what you would like to have done.
• Based on this discussion, Mark assigns one of the three Project Managers (PMs) to oversee the refit, with each PM offering their own specialist skills:

Steve Colley

Joined Oyster Palma S.L. as Service Manager in 2017 having previously managed Oyster Service & Refit Southampton since 2011. Steve has managed numerous major refit and repair contracts as well as overseeing warranty works in the UK, Spain and the Caribbean.

Hamish Burgess-Simpson

A sailor come ashore who has lived, sailed and worked on both sides of the Atlantic, the Caribbean, Indian and Pacific Oceans, and the Mediterranean – focusing on a wide range of disciplines over the years. In the past 15 years, Hamish has primarily concentrated on yacht refit and new-build project management, and for the majority of his maritime career, he has sailed and worked on Oyster yachts.

Pierre Oberon

Recently joined Oyster having run his own yacht maintenance company in Palma for 15 years, Pierre has considerable experience of the entire yacht refurbishment process. He has worked in many areas of the marine industry; as a sailor, service manager, and workshop manager, project managing several refits of motor and sailing yachts, and as director of two service companies and a charter base over the last 34 years. Pierre is fluent in English, Spanish, French, with a comfortable understanding of German.

• The PM meets with you and talks through your ideas and requirements, bringing in the relevant members of the Oyster team to advise on pricing and timescales. They look at your budget and divide your wish-list as necessary paying careful attention to what is most important to you.
• The PM schedules in the necessary work, keeping the majority of this in-house with our expert professionals. If anything is subcontracted, such as upholstery or rigging, the PM will oversee the work to ensure it is completed to Oyster standards, providing you with warranty and peace of mind. We will provide a trustworthy and objective eye, sharing our years of knowledge while at the same time keeping you up-to-date. Oyster’s seal of approval on these works will help boost the resale value of your yacht. 
• You receive regular updates from the PM. If Oyster’s team finds anything that would benefit from being serviced while onboard, the PM will contact you to see whether you want to proceed.

WHERE CAN I BOOK AN OYSTER REFIT?

• Our yacht refit team in Palma are insured to work in any local yard, meaning we can be flexible to your needs and preferences.
• Our Oyster representative in Barcelona can support you there, offering advice on the best local yard for your projects and managing any refurbishment through.
• If you’re in the U.S., Oyster Yachts Newport offers everything from light maintenance to intensive sailboat upgrades.
• In the UK we have Oyster Service Centres in Southampton and Ipswich, which offer a broad range of services from yacht refurbishment through to annual maintenance.

WHAT CAN I CHANGE TO MAKE MY BROKERAGE YACHT FEEL LIKE HOME?

Yacht refurbishment can completely transform a vessel, making it almost unrecognisable. Other than impossible tasks such as moving structural bulkheads or changing the type/size of the yacht, the world is your Oyster. 

Below are some of the most common sailboat upgrades that will make a brokerage yacht feel like your own:

• Upholstery: This is the most popular way of personalising a yacht, allowing you to implement your taste in every little detail.
• Canvas work: Again, this adds a personal touch.
• AV system upgrade. This will depend on how high-tech you are, and what you will spend time doing on your yacht.
• Re-configuration of cabins: In some cases we have been able to change the cabin configuration to fit your family, perhaps adding bunk beds and games consoles for a kids cabin, or making one of the smaller cabins next to the owner’s suite into a cot room for very young children.

THE ‘OYSTER DIFFERENCE’

If you are planning on having your yacht refit, your first step should be to get in touch with our  Oyster sailing services  team. We know our boats inside out and are best equipped to refurbish your yacht, with countless hours of build experience under our belts. 

Not only does an Oyster refit guarantee you the best possible quality, but if you are planning to sell your luxury sailing yacht at some point in the future, her resale value will be boosted by the fact that your works have been managed by Oyster’s trusted team. Get in touch today to set your project in motion.

The Yacht Refit Guide: Tips and Realities

Although owning a yacht is a fantastic pleasure, these majestic ships also need a lot of care, which necessitates frequent trips to the yard for refit or maintenance.

A yacht refit is a significant undertaking that needs excellent management, budgeting and solid scheduling of the participating crew and contractors, whether performing a comprehensive overhaul or simply a few cosmetic and system modifications.

What is a yacht refit?

In accordance with the manufacturer’s guidelines, the team will:

• oversee every stage of construction
• keep an eye on the technical and financial performance of the contractors
• plan all surveys
• handle all paperwork related to classification, flag, and technical regulations
• and eventually launch and deliver the boat that you need and want.

Experience in yacht refit project is very important

The team has a wealth of expertise dealing with the daily challenges associated with operating large yachts. Choose a project management team has the qualification to offer a full range of yacht management services, offered in a variety of packages in order to suit one owner’s demands. 

What types of yacht refit can be done?

Examples of refits of yachts refit that can be done :

• Restoring: preserving an old wooden boat
• Modernizing: Using modern systems, technologies, and styling
• Customizing: Making changes to the yacht according to the owner’s desires and wants
• Modifying: Modifying the yacht to win a competition.
• Replacing or adding: Adding new equipment or replacing the old deck with a new one.

How to start a yacht refitting project?

Start by considering the main purpose of the work and what you hope to gain from the renovation. The main works will determine the main refit timeframe and the facilities required, but additional wish lists can typically be accommodated.

By distinguishing necessary work items from those that don’t take priority, you may clearly define the work’s scope and order of importance.

Prioritize anything that interferes with a vessel’s ability to operate safely. Additionally, anything that compromises the integrity of the vessel, such as exterior paint coatings, tank coatings, water leaks, etc., should not be put off since if they are they will wind up being very expensive to fix and will ultimately reduce the asset’s overall worth.

Any significant project that will affect the critical route needs to be prioritized in addition to any required tasks. For instance, they can be full paint, teak decking, interior renovation, or additions. This will constitute the procedure’ initial step in the quotation. The second stage consists of optional tasks that can be completed in the allotted time.

Understand the owner’s requirements in terms of cost, time, and quality. If quality is a given, then putting deadlines first might jeopardize the budget and timetable.

Know the Resources of your shipyard before refitting your yacht

Each shipyard has its own specialities, and they are not all made equal. If the shipyard is taken away from its core capabilities, we cannot expect a wonderful outcome. It can be beneficial to choose the shipyards you use with care.

A very frequent mistake is to assume that anyone working in the refit industry can guarantee the resources required to complete the job. A second possible mistake is to neglect to confirm this crucial detail. Once they obtain the firm contract, many of these setups — effectively the retrofit brokers — quickly look for subcontractors to carry out the work on their behalf and frequently offer extremely low prices. They frequently provide simple amenities, and sometimes not even these.

Keep On Budget : The Hardest Task of a Yacht Refit

You must constantly compare the amount of work completed to the percentage of money spent if you want to stay within your budget. However, it takes actual experience to realize that 80% of the budget has already been spent and only 50% of the work has been completed. Project management software is good at calculating how much money has been spent thus far versus the budget.

From the beginning of the job, the captain and shipyard project manager often meet. They confirm and agree on how much has been accomplished. The sooner you notice the slippage, the earlier you can remediate the steps. Quantifiable standards are necessary to assess the degree of completion, and they are crucial for projects involving paint and cosmetics.

Find a yard that will fix prices for work items so that they take on the financial risk and there are no hidden fees.

Get the Insurance and Firefighters Ready in Case Your Refit Goes Wrong

Insurance for shipyards is essential. To accommodate lateness, financial overruns, or any damage incurred in the shipyard, the contract’s specifics must be unquestionably clear. Check your policy to see if it covers situations involving “hot work,” such as welding, as some do not.

Similarly, due to the nature of the work, fires can break out at shipyards. Thus, check that the shipyard has top-notch firefighting capabilities. Conduct staff fire drills on a regular basis. Also, insist on crew and 24/7 watch schedule vigilance throughout the yacht refurbishment.

Organize the Crew For Your Refit

During the shipbuilding period, strategically organize your workers. Different crew departments are subject to varying workloads during shipyard seasons. The interior team has more downtime because they are primarily in charge of preventing damage to the yacht throughout the refurbishment and performing stock takes, etc. 

The engineers, on the other hand, are typically busiest during this time of year. During a shipyard period, stewardesses, deckhands, and chefs, frequently have free time to attend professional training programs. Typically, the project manager for your shipyard will know about it. They can tell you how many crew members you will need to help do the job with the team onboard.

Expect Delay in almost every refitting projects

The truth is that there are a ton of excuses why you might not be ready on the scheduled day. When planning, take this into account and provide backup plans. Add at least 10% to account for unforeseen circumstances.

We work in real life. You can only apply so many coats of varnish each day or each week. If it is an international shipment, you may also have to consider the delay of parts. Further, you have to take care of the holdup of international shipments in customs, or the fabrication of a part when one cannot be found.

How much does a yacht refit cost?

The price of refitting a boat varies greatly, depending upon what renovations you need. A comprehensive retrofit for a superyacht (one that is longer than 120 feet) can go from $300,000 to $1 million. The price of retrofitting a 60-foot personal yacht ranges from $60,000 to $250,000.

To only renew the rigging of a 50 feet boat, the yacht refit may cost only about $20,000. If you want to change the look by replacing the wood, paint or restrain it, the cost will go up to $300,000.

When picking the best refit provider, there are a lot of other aspects to take into account in addition to the services the yard provides.

For instance, determining a yard’s reputation and financial standing are crucial. After all, how can you be certain that they will be able to fulfil – and surpass – your expectations if they aren’t highly recommended by other customers?

In order to establish a long-term relationship with the vessel, investigate whether a yard offers competitive pricing. It makes sense to wonder if potential clients are dependable partners if it doesn’t want to enter into a mutually beneficial business partnership with them.

Clients should prefer a shipyard that aims to build a long-term connection with the vessel and provides ongoing value beyond a single yard period.

At Windward Travels, we provide all refit works for sailing or motor vessels – short- or long-term contracts. Get in touch for recurrent or preventive maintenance such as careening, revisions and class visits. Contact the team for daily repairs such as a normal repair or fixing a technical problem. Whether it is mechanical breakdowns, piping, hull damage, air conditioning, home automation, call us during emergencies at any time of the year.

Yacht Refit: A Guide

Yacht ownership is a great pleasure, but these magnificent vessels also require a great deal of upkeep, with regular periods in the yard required for yacht refit or maintenance. Whether conducting a major overhaul or just making a few cosmetic and systems updates, a yacht refit is a large undertaking, requiring excellent scheduling and budgeting, as well as excellent management of participating crew and contractors.

Finding a highly experienced, professionally run shipyard will go a long way towards heading off costly delays or possible conflict between the yacht and the shipyard, but there’s a great deal the captain and crew can do to ensure a successful, speedy yacht refit yard period.

1. Once the captain and crew have drawn up an extremely thorough yacht refit yard work list, submit the work list to numerous shipyards for quotes. Be wary of jumping on the cheapest quote, drill down into why the quote is lower. Ask around for shipyard recommendations, and be quick to note if the shipyard quote process has any errors, is revised numerous times, or simply doesn’t reflect good customer service.

2. The process must be organized by a strong project manager who is there from the start to the finish of the yard period. This is most often the captain, but can also be a trusted external project manager, and the yacht management company may also be involved. The yacht’s engineer is also heavily involved in the shipyard project management, normally holding the 2IC role onboard. The shipyard will also assign their own project manager to collaborate with the yacht’s designated person throughout the yacht’s refit.

3. Budgeting is of extreme importance. Yacht refit budget overruns are common during shipyard periods – partly due to unknown faults being uncovered during the work, but also due to poor time management or installation problems and delays. Work should be meticulously budgeted, with a running total with breakdowns to indicate where the budget has blown out (and where possible efficiencies could be gained.)

4. Shipyard insurance is imperative. The contract details must be rock-solid to apportion where liability falls for lateness, budget overruns, or any damage caused in the shipyard. Be sure to check for conditions involving ‘hot work’ such as welding, as some policies do not cover this.

5. Fires have occasionally been known to happen in shipyards due to the nature of the work, so ensure that the shipyard’s firefighting capabilities are top-notch, carry out crew fire drills extremely regularly, and insist on crew vigilance and a 24/7 watch schedule throughout the yacht refit.

6. Yacht refits can run over-time due to unexpected complications, so be aware of this when planning any charter bookings, yacht transport, or boss trips around this time.

7. Organize your crew wisely during the shipyard time. Shipyard periods exert different demands on different crew departments. For the engineers, it’s generally their busiest time of the year, while the interior team is largely responsible for protecting the yacht from damage during the refit and doing stock takes etc, and therefore has more downtime. There is often time for chefs, deckhands, and stewardesses to take vacation during a shipyard period, or enroll in professional courses. Your shipyard project manager will generally be able to tell you how many crew will be required to assist with the work being carried out by their team onboard. However, bear in mind that shipyard staff will not be willing to oversee the work of private contractors who don’t work for them— that must be done by your crew.

8. Have the contractor and dayworker admission process streamlined for your yacht refit. A common delay in shipyards is in the mornings, when dayworkers and external contractors can get held up at the gate because they aren’t listed on the day’s admissions. Have all of this organized before time, as well as contracts ready for the dayworkers to sign.

9. Get to know the shipyard where your yacht is being refit. From building good relationships with the shipyard staff to knowing the facilities, emergency services and security provisions of the yard, the better informed you are, the better your yard period will be. By choosing the right shipyard and managing the yard period well, your yacht will be back on the water on time, on budget, and even more beautiful than ever.

By choosing the right shipyard and yacht brokerage to manage the yard period well; your yacht will be back on the water on time, on budget, and even more beautiful than ever.

Superyacht refit guide: How much does a refit cost?

Repainting a hull.

Want to know exactly how much a superyacht refit costs? Daan Balk, CEO of Balk Shipyard , and Fortunato Di Marco, sales manager of Lusben , explain what goes into four of the most common refit requests and how much they will cost a superyacht owner.*

Repainting a hull

A new paint job might seem straightforward enough, but owners are often surprised by how quickly costs can escalate. “Painting is 70 per cent preparation – fairing, sanding and treating corrosion – but it’s absolutely worth doing a proper job,” Balk says. “If you take care with all that, your paint will last much longer.”

And don’t forget that before any painting can happen, “you have to take off all the hardware, stainless-steel railings, hand grips, grids and doors, and the caulking will need to be cut away and window seals removed”, Balk says. “There are some cases of ‘scratch and shoot’ but in general there’s a lot of additional work that people don’t realise – plus the cost of having the boat in a shed with heating, lighting and extractors.”

*All costs are estimates, based on a 60-metre yacht in fairly good condition. Image courtesy of Billy Black.

Installing an LED Lighting System

Swapping harsh halogen lights for warmer, more subtle LEDs is a relatively simple way to update your yacht. Costs vary hugely depending on whether you’re copying your original lighting plan and placing lights in the same position – in which case “you could do that quite easily in a couple of weeks”, Balk says – or if you’re planning on redesigning your whole system, which owners often want to do. The age of the boat has a bearing on rewiring, Di Marco notes, and costs will change depending on whether you go for simple LEDs, RGB or RGB white systems.

LEDs are a wise investment, in Balk’s opinion, because they’ll save on electric power consumption too. “Normally a light produces 80 per cent heat and only 20 per cent light, but LEDs are completely different,” he says. Unlike some projects, owners have the choice of whether to keep changes to the lighting minimal, and therefore keep the costs down, or to run with a more extensive overhaul. Either way, it’s a savvy investment.

Replacing Superyacht Furniture

Swapping out built-in, dark, carved wooden furniture for free-standing items in lighter woods is one of the most popular refit trends today. “It’s something you can do on a reasonable budget to make a magnificent difference,” Balk says. Free-standing items are also easier to replace in the future, giving you more flexibility to refresh your boat on a regular basis. “The process can be complicated by the fact that some fixed furniture is used to cover cables, piping and fan coils,” Di Marco adds.

But, “it’s something that makes people feel they get value for money,” adds Balk. “You can come on board and think, wow, this is a totally different ship!”

Installing a Spa Pool

When it comes to installing a hot tub , many owners are lured by a seemingly straightforward, off-the-shelf option. But, explains Balk, if you haven’t thought about access properly, “the whole thing will be torn apart so that we can position filters and pumps in different positions. The same hot tub can cost you twice as much”.

A detailed spec is crucial when looking into installation – what regulations your yacht has to comply with is a major factor, and “the availability of power in relation to how quickly water can be heated up is key too”, Di Marco says. What deck you choose to have your spa pool on is also important. “Most people like to have it on the highest deck, in the sun, but from a naval architecture point of view that’s the most difficult point because it’s directly related to the stability of the yacht,” Balk notes. He recommends building a tub that fits in with the power and water systems you already have on board – and don’t forget, even though space is at a premium, you’ll still need to get access to maintain it.

Fall in love with your yacht all over again

Refit and conversion

If you can imagine it, we can make it happen

Allow us to bring out the hidden potential your yacht holds. Whether your vessel is a luxury motor yacht, superyacht or gigayacht, whether she was originally built by Lürssen or another shipyard, we have the expertise and technology to give her a second life. Our refit and conversion specialists will advise you and explore the virtually unlimited possibilities to restore your yacht to her original splendour or expand and enhance her performance, features and appearance. Regardless of which type of work you wish to carry out, you can rely on Lürssen for full support and efficient execution in the finest tradition of German engineering and shipbuilding excellence.

Tell us about your ideas or let us inspire you.

Preserving and enhancing value

Refits and conversions large and small will not only add more comfort and convenience to your beloved yacht, but also safeguard and increase her value. Your project may be as small-scale as creating a new interior look and feel or as extensive as major technological improvements – either way, we will enable you to realise your wishes. At Lürssen, we see refit and conversion measures not as an expression of dissatisfaction with your vessel, but rather as a way of caring for the yacht you cherish. You will be blessed not only with even more yachting pleasure, but also with an opportunity to fall in love with your yacht all over again.

When is it time for a refit?

The age of the yachts we refit and the reasons for carrying out the projects are as varied as the owners and vessels. Generally, refits coincide with remedial work or technological upgrades. Many owners discover unanticipated wishes after several years of yachting, and a refit or conversion is the perfect opportunity to make them come true.

Milestones on the path to the rebirth

A refit project is a fascinating journey that begins with our initial consultations and ends with the rebirth of your yacht. Yet the relationship we develop with you and your vessel continues beyond delivery: Lürssen remains at your side to handle any issues, support you and – years later – talk about the next upgrade. The timeline below lets your explore the milestones.

Contact: you approach us with a yacht in need of attention.

First steps: we talk, visit the yacht and gather your ideas and wishes for the interior and exterior.

The proposal: once we have drawn up a job list, we work the numbers and give you a firm quote.

Proposal review: your representatives (owner’s team) look carefully at our numbers and we fine-tune the offer to suit your needs and wishes.

Confirmation: we finalize the agreement and prepare to go ahead with the project.

The refit: your yacht is in our shipyard and we work our "magic".

Delivery: you take possession of your reborn yacht.

Follow-up: we remain in touch with you and your yacht, take care of any repairs and warranties.

The next project: after several more years of world-class yachting, we start talking about the next refit.

Why trust Lürssen with your refit?

Long-Standing Experience

High technical expertise

Highly organized project management

State-of-the-art facilities

Great locations for the crew

Service orientation is our bedrock

Specialized and dedicated team

A think tank rarely found anywhere else

The know-how and resources that have made Lürssen yachts legendary are your guarantee of excellence in your refit or conversion project. Drawing on more than 1,800 engineers and skilled craftspeople as well as state-of-the-art shipbuilding technology, we will carry out the work on your vessel with the same love of precision and attention to detail that go into the creation of new-built Lürssen yachts.

The right shipyard for any yacht, any size

Lürssen is equipped to handle any size and type of yacht – from smaller and mid-sized vessels to the world’s largest superyachts and gigayachts.

Conveniently located for you and your team: Hamburg, Bremen and Rendsburg

Germany’s northern cities are easy to reach by sea and air. They also offer excellent accommodations, entertainment and cultural activities.

3 refit centres: Hamburg, Bremen & Rendsburg

With dock capacities of up to 351 meters, our Hamburg facility is ideal for complex repair, refit, conversion and servicing of various ship classes. The state-of-the-art shipyard was originally established in 1877, and acquired by Lürssen in 2016. It covers an area of 451,000m 2 and features one of the largest graving docks in northern Europe. Our Bremen facilities, with a total area of 198,700m 2 , are fully equipped for sophisticated conversions, refits and maintenance projects. Located directly on the Kiel Canal, which links the North and Baltic Seas, Lürssen Rendsburg specializes in refits and maintenance of smaller-to-mid-sized yachts.

Welcoming communities

Germany’s largest port, Hamburg has a grand maritime tradition reaching back many centuries. As a seafaring city, Hamburg is open to the world and has a colourful international community. Our Hamburg shipyard, one of the seafront’s dominating features, is in easy walking distance from shops, bars and outstanding restaurants offering local and international cuisine. Bremen, though smaller, is no less steeped in international seafaring tradition. Its history of maritime trade is reflected in the stately Hanseatic buildings surrounding the Market Square. The cosy town of Rendsburg on the river Eider became accessible to larger ships in the late 19th century, when the Kiel Canal was completed.

Even more reasons to refit with Lürssen

Whether your refit takes place at Hamburg or at another one of our eight shipyards, we make sure your team feels right at home. Like the maritime metropolis Hamburg, the cities across northern Germany where our facilities are located are welcoming and open-minded with fascinating cultural and entertainment opportunities.

Captains & Crews

The wellbeing of your refit team, captain and crew is important to us. With local support, entertainment and services, we make sure their stay in northern Germany is enjoyable. That means morale stays high and your project runs smoothly.

Lifetime support

The yachting life is all about luxury travel and entertainment in complete freedom. To ensure that your yacht life is totally free of care and complications, we offer comprehensive lifetime support for your vessel. Our services provide not only peace of mind and pure yachting pleasure, but also make sure your yacht stays as strikingly beautiful as the day she embarked on her maiden voyage.

Considering a refit or conversion?

We look forward to exploring the options with you.

Yacht Refit Cost

There is a false impression about yachts – that they only require a refit if they are on their last legs and are barely seaworthy. This simply isn’t the case. 

If you think in terms of houses, you refit your home from time to time to update how it looks, to reflect both your personal taste and changing trends: to future proof it and ensure it remains fit for purpose.  

Now consider when you would usually renovate your house. Normally, the highest expenditure is when you move in, as you want it exactly the way that suits you before settling in. You might spend smaller amounts updating it from time to time, as fashions change, before spending the second highest amount of money when you plan to move out.

Why? Because you realise that, by making it look more up-to-date and attractive to potential buyers, you’ll get better value for it.  The cost of any work is justified by the proportionally far larger increase it adds to the value.  

Delivering Value

Much the same applies to yachts. A refit by Setag is there to add value. It isn’t the equivalent of fixing a dilapidated house – rather it should be seen as a way to futureproof your yacht and make it reflect your taste, personality and needs.  

One of the most common customer situations the yacht business caters for is the returning customer who wants to upgrade their vessel. Our solution at Setag is to offer a larger pre-owned model, without the depreciation and work with the customer to carry out a thorough refit at the fraction of the cost. That way they have all the benefits of a new build – with bespoke interiors created for them as well as up-to-date electronics systems, but delivered at value.  

A Sustainable Transformation

We provide a beautiful level of service, offering luxury to the pre-owned market – ensuring that you are in control of your yacht’s refit at every stage. You get to sit down with one of the best interior designers in the business and work with them to create the yacht that you have always dreamt of, rather than simply making do with the pre-owned boats available, in the state that you find them.  

In turn, we can make a very significant impact on the vessel for 10-15% of the boat value . So there’s a good economic answer for having a Setag design & refit, but a full, dedicated refit service simply hasn’t existed until now.  

We’re ready to redefine, refit and remaster your yacht, according to your needs. Get in touch today to Realise the Art of the Possible.

Redefined by Setag

Each project is truly bespoke, catering to individual needs. If you are moving into a new house, you naturally want to renovate to put your own stamp on it – to make it feel like your home. So, why would you be happy to live with someone else’s taste when it comes to your yacht?

Yacht Refit

One of the most common questions we are asked by potential clients is what we mean exactly when we talk about offering a refit service for yachts. There is a false impression about yachts that they only require a refit if they are on their last legs and are barely seaworthy. This simply isn’t the case.

With SETAG, you can make a huge difference when you buy something secondhand, maybe a bit tired and then you put all of this beauty in it and you create what effectively is a brand new boat. Completely to your own liking, your own standard...creating the perfect boat for us.

Brilliant concept...new boat look and feel at pre-owned prices - by the industry experts. Recycling at its best!

The great thing is, none of this is off the shelf - I love this boat and now she’s got her frock on...this is the best money I've spent.

If you want to redefine, refit and remaster your boat who better to do it than the people who designed it in the first place? "What a fantastic idea!"

We cannot recommend the SETAG team highly enough. If you love your current boat, then for a fraction of the cost to change it, have it SETAG’d. The SY branding certainly helped us obtain a premium price. We got what we paid for her in 2017 plus what we spent with you!

I have worked with Chris for over 30 years and I’m pleased to see him develop his own brand - along with likeminded people with industry-leading expertise. The future is bright for Setag Yachts and pre-owned yacht owners, who can now refurbish their vessels to today’s - or even tomorrow's standards.

That has been one of the key selling points for us – having that personalised service and having a boat that is unique to us – is standout in its own right. We are pretty blown away…very very pleased. I think it’s fabulous…it has transformed the boat.

The perfect way to open up a new market: the "true reflection of luxury". Setag gets it: simplicity and personalisation are key – with the depth of knowledge to deliver.

Setag are probably the only company who can carry out all the tasks as a ‘one stop shop’. Other yards were reluctant to price work and needed to subcontract many tasks meaning higher costs and longer lead times. If you are in any doubt speak to Chris and his team, they know boats like no one else.

We have been waiting for this quality of service: a comprehensive, professional refit that we can rely on – because of the pedigree of its staff, with over 200 years' experience in our market.

You have put Princess magic into our beloved Broom.

Never have I come across a more able collection of professionals in this market. We have complete trust in Setag, since its team has been in the business for as long as we can remember. We're very excited to welcome this specialist refit company into our portfolio.

Yacht refit 2: how a three-month refit of Zest was worth all the effort and expense

• Belinda Bird
• January 27, 2015

Rupert Holmes describes the refit of the Rob Humphreys-designed Zest, with schedule of work and costings

Zest in the yard

Many owners have found yacht refit to be a protracted process and in some cases have missed more than one season of sailing. This seems to be particularly the case when owners carry out the bulk of the work themselves.

We were wary of this when refitting Zest , my partner Kass’s custom-built design by Rob Humphreys, in the spring of 2013. The boat had already had a considerable amount of work done in her previous ownership, including a replacement teak deck and new mast, boom and standing rigging. Much of the running rigging had also been replaced and there was an almost unused offshore specification double taffeta laminate mainsail.

However, a refit was still needed to update other ageing systems and prepare Zest for her intended purpose of short-handed, long-distance racing and cruising. One of the overriding priorities we established at the outset was the need for reliability. Oversized gear was, therefore, fitted wherever possible and we did our best to plan for redundancy of systems.

An important part of planning the refit was to sail the boat for six weeks to gain a clear picture of exactly what needed to be done and to plan the schedule of work.

Zest refit schedule of work and costings

Electronics

• Entire systems replaced, including plotter, plus addition of AIS B, active radar transponder, satphone and high-spec pilot, with spare drive £10,000
• New AGM batteries. Add 100W solar panel and towed generator £2,000
• Single-line reefing, plus separate luff pennant led aft to the cockpit for third reef
• Removable inner forestay for storm jib and Dacron heavy weather jib
• Short fixed sprit for Code 0 and asymmetric spinnakers
• Furlex 300 series headsail furler, plus CX25 furler for Code 0
• Replace cams in all clutches
• Dyneema chafe jacket on halyards in way of the sheaves £8,000
• Third reef and second full-length batten added to existing nearly new laminate mainsail
• New Code 0, furling blade jib, Dacron heavy weather jib by One Sails
• Second-hand larger S2 spinnaker £7,000

Miscellaneous

• Replace bottom rudder needle bearing and ream worn rudder tube back to a perfect circle £1,800
• Cockpit floor renovation £600
• Other general expenses £3,000

As ever, the refit still didn’t progress entirely smoothly. A worrying, but easily resolved, concern was that the keel bolts were one size smaller than those specified in the plans. A nailbiting few hours followed this discovery, until Hamble-based structural engineer Richard Oliver ran the calculations, which showed that the bolts fitted were still several times larger than those needed to meet accepted minimum safety margins.

A bigger unexpected problem was with the teak cockpit floor, which had not been replaced with the rest of the deck. To speed up the refit we had hoped to delay renewing it by at least one season, which seemed like a viable plan, given low moisture meter readings on the plywood subdeck. However, the spring of 2013 was exceptionally dry and when it finally rained the meter readings spiked upwards well into the red zone.

Zest’s original cockpit sole

Zest’s cockpit 90 minutes later

Given that this was the busiest time of year for anyone working on boats, it was all but impossible to get a boatbuilder to commit to doing the work within a viable time-scale. We therefore pitched straight into doing the job ourselves, including replacing some of the structural ply deck underneath the teak. This delayed completion of the refit by two to three weeks, but our quick decision here minimised the delay to the programme.

With the benefit of hindsight, would we do a similar project again? No, at least not for a long time. But are we glad we did it? Absolutely.

Some suppliers were exemplary in the service they offered. OneSails, for instance, went out of their way to ensure the new sails were delivered to a tight schedule and found time to sail on Zest to check that they set as they should. Similarly, Medina Yard in Cowes and Paul Dunstan of marine engineering company Seatek were also extremely helpful, even though both were already very busy.

However, the most frustrating aspect of the project was with a small number of suppliers that were not able to meet anything resembling promised delivery dates. Some of these shipped part orders at apparently random times, occasionally without documentation, which made figuring out exactly what you had received, and what was missing, frustratingly time-consuming.

Zest sailing after her refit

In the 16 months following the refit Zest has covered more than 9,000 miles, from the Azores to Shetland, around half that distance being racing. Failures to date have been very minor: the masthead wind sensor, which was replaced under warranty, a broken spinnaker halyard and failed splice on the main halyard. Beyond routine maintenance and attending to cosmetics that were skipped for reasons of time and budget, as yet there’s no evidence of Zest needing another refit for many years to come.

With the benefit of hindsight, would we do a similar project again? No, at least not for a long time. But are we glad we did it? Absolutely. The three-month refit resulted in a boat that is optimised to our requirements and has quality new systems that help to make Zest even more of a joy to sail – the rewards of the effort and expense are recouped every time we sail her. We also have the benefit of knowing every inch of the boat.

From built-in storage solutions and bespoke joinery, to interior redesigns and galley refits, our experienced boatbuilders can help you to transform the interior of your yacht. Our workshops incorporate a 150m2 well equipped woodmill.

Composite repair work requires expert knowledge and skill to ensure a seamless finish. With a dedicated laminating workshop our team can accommodate a wide range of gelcoat work ranging from full structural reconstruction to cosmetic hull and deck work, for both GRP and carbon.

Slamming, grounding, over-stressing a hull in rough conditions, and hard racing can all cause damage to the inner keel matrix. The keel, keel bolts and matrix should be inspected annually to identify possible areas of de-bonding or areas of damage. In the event of damage being identified, as a professional repair yard, we can assist with a structural repair to meet your surveyors specification.

Osmosis is usually identified by the surface of a boat's hull starting to blister; to avoid this occurring you may consider protecting your hull with our anti-osmosis gel shield and epoxy coating. If it's too late for a preventive approach, then we offer an extensive repair treatment.

Aluminium repairs, maintenance, electricity.

With 20+ years of working with aluminium, we know this material inside and out. Got a dent from a buoy? Hit the rocks in Norway? Don’t worry. The experts that build our yachts are the same people who will fix yours.

Unless reclaimed, teak is no longer considered a sustainable choice for decking material. Luckily there are many other options available today. From anti-skid coatings and shot blasted aluminium to man made composite materials like Esthec which is durable, maintenance free and is available in various colours and custom options.

An overhaul, winterising or a brand new engine in your sailing or motor yacht? No problem. Our experienced engineers can handle any type of engine, whether it is new, used or refurbished.

From a new lick of paint and new upholstery to a complete makeover of your interior. We will be happy to discuss the various options and price tags to meet your needs. Our carpenters are true interior specialists. They can turn any type of wood into trims, decks, cabinets, and al sorts of furniture.

For many of us, finding the time to go sailing is already hard, let alone finding the time to work on your boat. Many boat owners opt for winter storage in combination with annual maintenance.

Painting your yacht requires precision. Our team of skilled professionals is equipped with the latest tools and techniques to ensure a flawless finish every time. We use only the highest quality paints and materials and take great care to protect your vessel or property during the painting process.

Since the beginning of 2023, our new painting halls have been ready for use. Besides the fact that we will make extensive use of it ourselves, we also offer opportunities for third parties to perform painting work here. Click here for more info about our painting service, painting venue and renting possibilities.

Our mast rigger Jan is always happy to perform a thourough inspection of your mast and rigging. After inspection we provide a report for the insurance company or the new owner.

On aluminium yachts in particular, extra care should be given to the electrics. Are you unsure or have you discovered electrolysis? We would be pleased to check your yacht and make the necessary amends.

Customer Care

Our commitment doesn’t stop after delivery. Carefree ownership is all-important to us. Our subsidiary KM Yachtservices provides peace of mind by keeping your yacht in peak condition and supporting owners with a full range of exceptional services.

Miguel Boat Repair is awesome!!! He was quick to get in touch with me about my boat. Once scheduled, the service was completed same day. I have already scheduled another project for my boat with Miguel.

Quick turnaround time on an annual service. Great service. Will definitely recommend.

Great work! Miguel and the team were able to help us refinish some fiberglass parts for our vehicles.

We took our family waterski boat to Miguel for the annual maintenance last week. We have never been there before; we were very impressed by Miguel professionalism, knowledge and friendliness. He checked everything, and more, that was needed for us to take the boat back into the water after one year not being used. He knew what to look for as a potential failure. He checked everything and his price was very reasonable. We did not have the feeling that he was overcharging us, but on the contrary. We are planning to take our boat back to Miguel every year. We would strongly recommend Miguel and his service.

I brought in my 2013 Sanger for diagnostics as I was having some engine problems. Miguel was prompt with a diagnostic report and resolved all issues. The shop itself looks a little outdated, but don't let looks fool you! I couldn't be happier with their service and I will definitely return when I have other boat related needs.

Just contacted them on repairing fiberglass on my RV. Unfortunately, the damage was more extensive than originally thought. We are mulling over the repair now but regardless, Junior and Miguel were super professional in their response and response time. Would not hesitate to move forward if the wife ever blesses the repair. Happy wife, happy life.

My husband has a four winds 1993 boat that was making this horrible noise as if marbles were inside the motor, Don Miguel was extremely helpful and quick to fix the issue without taking advantage of my husband. This guy is super quick and in my opinion I felt he was honest and very knowledgeable. the only upside down is he is super busy. I recommend him.

Took in my 2005, 21ft Bayliner for annual service. Miguel and son also changed the bunks on my trailer, replaced a steering cable and power assist on the seteering. Got running lights working and changed the prop.Took boat in Wednesday and had it back by Friday. They both called to confirm problems and to keep me up to date on their progress of the work. Really good experience. Already thinkng about having some additional work done!
