YACHT MANAGEMENT

01

OWNER SERVICES YOUR TRUSTED YACHTING PARTNER

Our approach to excellence means we naturally exceed some of the minimum safety, security, and crew welfare standards for the maritime industry. But complying with the rules and regulations is itself a science that we’ve mastered.

We implement the codes and oversee certification. Whether it’s the International Safety Management (ISM) Code that ensures the safety of ships and protects the maritime environment, the International Ship and Port Facility Security Code (ISP) that enhances the security of ships and port facilities, or the Maritime Labour Convention that protects the rights of seafarers, captains and crew around the world trust us to help manage the process and train the staff to keep everything running smoothly.

YACHT ACCOUNTING

03

There is a flow of money and information that makes yachting the incredible experience everyone knows it to be. Our expert accountants keep staff, suppliers, and owners content with accurate and prompt payment handling and monthly account reports. We handle everything from supplier invoices, payroll, and salary payments.

TECHNICAL SERVICES

OWNER SERVICES YOUR TRUSTED YACHTING PARTNER

04

Yachts are complex requiring knowledgeable, hands-on, specialist technical support for defects, emergencies, planned maintenance advice, refit planning, and even insurance claims. Our shoreside technical managers are professionals with sea-going experience. They are comprised of engineers, naval architects, project managers, and surveyors on hand to advise, troubleshoot, and find solutions to maritime problems daily.

CORPORATE SERVICES

05

A corporate entity, established correctly, can be structured to fit each owner’s needs, usage and status. Regulations are complex enough. We create structures with multi-jurisdiction company incorporation on the regular – handling the associated provision of company directors, compliance, accountancy services, VAT registration, and administration.

CHARTER MANAGEMENT

OWNER SERVICES YOUR TRUSTED YACHTING PARTNER

06

In chartering, a superyacht’s reputation is everything. It’s no accident that the best staff and most prestigious clients gravitate to the charter yachts we manage.

Yes, we are Mediterranean Yacht Broker Association members (MYBA).

But, crucially, we have structured our management services team to feel accountable for the success of each owner’s superyacht. In this way, communication is flawless, performance is heightened, budgets are responsibly managed, charter operations are commercially compliant, and owner interests are protected. It’s safe to say, our service is second to none.

“The support the Hill Robinson team provided was the perfect accompaniment to ensuring a smooth season and the handling of all day-to-day back office operations and overall management of a busy yacht. Great job!”

CREW SERVICES

07

Crew are the most important factor and at the heart of any yacht.

We put crew first, and our dedicated services package offers wrap-around support, including recruitment and employment. We even provide training through our Academy, which offers in-person and online training.

08

Our in-house procurement means two very important things: established relationships that equal the most competitive prices. And an end-to-end solution that tackles logistics, transport, and customs clearances – any item, any place, any time. We can advise on budget optimisation and forward planning to source everything from a washer or flowers to a replacement propellor or grand piano. You name it; we have sourced it. Importantly, we are fully transparent and pass on negotiated fleet discounts directly to our clients.

PROCUREMENT

We’ve managed enough new builds to know a superyacht is no ordinary commission. It’s a personal statement that speaks on behalf of the owner. A work of architectural art, and feat of engineering all in one – that must be delivered on time and in budget. We make sure the vision comes to life according to each owner’s desires, acting as their representatives, to communicate their perspectives with everyone on our team. As a result of this approach and expertise, we have been trusted to realise some of the most exciting, high-profile, and challenging new designs.

REFIT PROJECT MANAGEMENT

From a routine maintenance period to a complete refit or renovation, a shipyard period is an opportunity to prepare a yacht for the next season, address those imperfections, and create the perfect vessel. We make sure perfection is the norm, every step of the way. From contract negotiation and planning to coordination and in-yard management – we guarantee workmanship, transparency, and delivery of the highest standards.

PRE-PURCHASE INSPECTION & SURVEY

How is the structural integrity?

How do the systems run? What equipment is there – and what is the overall condition of the superyacht you’re seeking to purchase? Our experienced surveyors conduct in-depth inspections that include full dry-dock assessments, performance and endurance tests at sea, and damage surveys / repair estimates.

It’s an uncompromising, and unbiased service that uncovers whether a vessel is a sound investment – or pitfall to walk away from.
