Division Yacht

Specialists in superyachts, where the finish and the discretion of the installation matter as much as the electrical design.

Here the work must not be visible

  • Regulation

    Above twenty-four metres the large yacht code and the flag requirements come into play, and if the vessel goes into charter she is held to commercial standards rather than private ones. The same hull can sit under two regulatory frameworks depending on how she is used, and that changes the scope before anything starts.

  • What it demands

    The cabling cannot be seen. It runs through concealed routes that must still be accessible years later without cutting into joinery, and any mark on a finished surface is a problem. On top of that, the working window is set by the charter calendar, not by the yard.

  • Who we deal with

    Day to day the work is run with the captain and the chief engineer, and decisions arrive filtered through the management company. There is little direct contact with the owner. Confidentiality is part of the job, which is why some work never appears on this site.
