In-Depth Insights into the Transformation Underway in the Superyacht Refit Sector, Browse Leaders' Vision and Expectations

In a transformative exploration of the Superyacht refit sector, leading figures have thrown the limelight onto its triumphs, trials, and future. The series unveiled invigorating conversations with renowned stalwarts of the industry, unravelling some unforgettable insights. The burning questions revolved around their worries, envisaged changes, and their impending enhancements to shipyard establishments and practices.

Alberto Amico, leading the game at Amico & Co, expressed concern over the prevalent ambiguity in the specification of work needed. The reception of vaguely defined ‘wishlists’ of work, lacking substantial detail, was a common concern reflected across the sector. Quoting for such ill-defined tasks is said to be nothing short of a gamble, often made purely for commercial purposes. Amico yearns for refit decisions based on reliability, resources, experiences, and references instead of ill-defined expectations.

Echoing a foresight of partnership, he envisioned the relationship with clients to be akin to a reliable ally in setting up the course for essential tasks like rectifying technical glitches and establishing service and refit periods.

Pedro Paiva of Feadship Refit & Services added another dimension to the discourse by emphasizing the significance of good communication and shared objectives. Drawing parallels with running a superyacht, Paiva asserted that successful projects were usually marked by proper planning before maintenance or refit work begins.

The dialogues reflected the collective aspiration of the leaders for a more organised, efficient, and well-detailed future for the superyacht refit industry, whilst acknowledging the challenges that lie ahead. The ongoing series promises deeper dives into the future programs these leaders have in store, offering glimpses into how infrastructure, operations, and processes will shape the landscape of the sector.
