A refit is the moment to renew your yacht with care and foresight. We focus on your vessel and your crew. We support you through every decision and we recommend upgrades that protect safety, extend the lifetime of your hardware and strengthen security.

Audio Visual

We assess your existing entertainment systems to identify outdated hardware, inefficient integrations and poor user experiences, then replace legacy elements with streamlined AV architectures that boost performance, reduce maintenance and simplify everyday use for guests and crew.
Our AV services cover full system audits, redesign, equipment selection, integration oversight and post installation validation, delivered by our long standing Hamburg based AV engineering team.
You can preview possible upgrades in our Monaco and Barcelona technology lounges to experience options firsthand before decisions are made.

IT

A refit is the perfect opportunity to modernise your IT infrastructure across networks, servers, cybersecurity, WiFi coverage and digital workflows to strengthen performance, resilience and security.
Our team manages everything from email hosting and simple networks to demanding multi server environments, with our Virtual ETO service ensuring operational continuity during the refit period and beyond.
We simplify and future proof system builds by replacing legacy oversized installations with smaller and more efficient designs, reducing long-term maintenance and operational costs.

Cyber Risk Management

We introduce cyber resilience at the earliest stages of your new build, using maritime specific risk assessment frameworks that follow IMO guidance to identify vulnerabilities and ensure your vessel begins life with a solid, compliant cyber foundation. Our specialists support you with ISM aligned cyber procedures, bespoke cybersecurity health checks and NCSC accredited cyber awareness training so crew and shoreside teams are prepared and capable from day one. We also guide the secure design and configuration of onboard technologies to minimise cyber risk by design and protect critical systems throughout the yacht’s operational life.

Communications

We review the condition and performance of VSAT, Inmarsat, TVRO, 4G, 5G, airtime contracts and onboard distribution networks, then upgrade, replace or reconfigure for dependable global connectivity.
Through our strategic alliance with MTN, we integrate next generation solutions including Starlink, OneWeb and hybrid multi network infrastructures to deliver higher speeds, lower latency, enhanced resilience and sophisticated bandwidth management.

Lighting

We modernise lighting for efficiency, aesthetics and usability by evaluating existing installations, recommending energy efficient replacements, redesigning controls and ensuring full compatibility with your wider automation framework. Our multidisciplinary engineering approach ensures lighting interacts seamlessly with AV, IT, HVAC and security for a superior onboard experience, whether you need simple spares or a complete scene transformation.

Security

We upgrade your vessel’s security through a unified approach to CCTV, intrusion detection and access control, enhancing awareness and simplifying how your crew protects the yacht. Our CCTV solutions provide clear situational visibility with intuitive interfaces that display live views, playback and event alerts, supported by advanced video analytics and integrated mapping for fast decision making. Intrusion detection is strengthened with intelligent monitoring and alerting systems that notify you of movement or system changes in real time, improving safety for guests and crew. Access control is modernised with platforms that manage doors and restricted areas through a seamless, centralised user experience, integrating directly with CCTV and intrusion detection for complete operational clarity.

HVAC

We do the pre-refit surveys to identify the possible HVAC system adjustment needs or system upgrades. We enhance your HVAC system by applying the specialist expertise of our HVAC consultancy team, who understand that HVAC is the largest energy consuming system onboard and influences almost every other discipline. We focus on comfort, energy savings, air quality, system improvements, equipment specification and onboard surveys, supported by more than twenty-five years of technical knowledge. Our role is to optimise performance, refine integration and support you through key decisions so your system operates smoothly, efficiently and reliably throughout the vessel. We verify whether the system performs as expected at delivery.  You can also read about digital monitoring and how advanced data tools are transforming HVAC efficiency here.

Air Quality

We enhance onboard wellbeing by integrating advanced air purification systems designed to remove particulate matter, ultrafine particles, pathogens and VOCs, creating cleaner and healthier interior environments. VFA air purification technology delivers high efficiency filtration of fine dust, bacteria, viruses and fungi, addressing contaminants known to affect respiratory comfort, sleep quality and overall health. These systems provide medical grade purification performance suitable for luxury marine environments and can be installed within existing air handling units or applied as standalone solutions for individual spaces.  to benefit the health, well-being and performance of your crew and guests on board.

Navigation

We upgrade your navigation systems with modern ECDIS, AIS, VDR, charting and essential safety equipment, ensuring your bridge remains clear, reliable and easy for crew to operate. We support the full suite of electronic navigation and communication systems, including depth sounder, GMDSS and VSAT, and provide installation, service and ongoing maintenance so your bridge stays compliant and dependable on every passage.
