Yacht Maintenance Global Yacht Delivery (GYD)
are an experienced team that can provide
you with an excellent maintenance
and refit & layup service.
We can offer this as a one off project
or as part of an ongoing management
scheme.
At the start of any refit project
we discuss with the owner any problems
and areas of concern that may need
particular attention. We also like
to establish a history of previous
work completed on the yacht.
A refit project is detailed below:
Topsides
Remove any stubborn stains, and polish.
Arrange for any scratches or gel coat
damage to be repaired.
Re paint/tape the boot line and check
Vinals & Graphics.
Down Below
Deep Clean, clean and paint the bilges
(including treating any rust spots).
Service seacocks and heads and check
all bilge pumps and alarms.
Arrange for Engine, Generator and
water maker service.
Yacht Charter
Management & Yacht Maintenance
You may wish to
see your yacht generate its own income.
Many privately owned yachts are chartered
out, either to individuals or corporations.
Income generated by chartering can
help to defer operating costs and
can often provide an operating profit
for the owner.
We can advise you on all aspects of
this type of business opportunity.
We can also advise you on the best
areas of operation and create regular
Maintenance Schedules
Once you have made your decision to
make your yacht available for charter,
sales have to be well organised and
a diary kept. Crews need to be employed,
from skipper to chef to deckhand.
Global Yacht Delivery (GYD) has the
skills and expertise to help take
over the responsibility for the efficient
running of the yacht. Such as:
- Negotiating terms with established
charter brokers and clearing houses
- Organizing the yacht’s diary
- Selection and recruitment of suitable
crew
- Providing regular statement of account
- Providing a regular booking status
report
- Liaising with the yacht’s captain
on diary, charter requirements, budgets, etc
Preparation
An initial inspection is made to familiarise
ourselves with the yacht, after which
we put together a list of known work
to be completed with a expected time
scale.
Before the yacht is taken out the
water we fully prepare her in advance.
This includes removing sails, masthead
fittings, boom and disconnecting electrics.
As Slingers and Banksmen we are qualified
to oversee the yacht out of the water
and organise the rig being taken down
if required.
Under the Waterline
Pressure wash, rub down, prime and
antifoul.
Check the keel bolts, service the
prop and check the rudder stock.
Check and arrange for tanks to be
pressure tested.
Check seals on hatches and windows.
On Deck
Service all hardware, Decks cleaned,
bright work polished.
Arrange for all sails to be taken
off, serviced, laundered and stowed.
Remove any stubborn stains, and polish.
