Yard Selection
For professionals like yourself, the refit process begins at the crucial stage of yard selection. It’s about finding more than just a capable facility; it’s about partnering with a shipyard that shares your commitment to excellence and understands the nuances of yacht refitting. Working closely with your team, we conduct a thorough evaluation of costs, timelines, and project specifics. This process leads to the development of a final specification, ensuring that every detail of the refit aligns perfectly with your client’s vision.
This marks the beginning of transforming dreams into reality. We carefully plan and execute every aspect of the refit process to match your client’s aspirations. With a reputation for excellence and a track record of delivering exceptional results, VMG Yachtbuilders stands out as the ideal partner for professionals seeking to collaborate on yacht refit projects.

Refit preparation
With the yard selected, the preparation phase focuses on laying the essential groundwork needed to kickstart the transformation of your client’s yacht. Working hand in hand with your team, we plan every aspect of the refit, from selecting suppliers to establishing project timelines and financial frameworks. Our transparent approach ensures that every detail is carefully planned to meet your client’s expectations and deliver exceptional results.
Project planning includes scheduling each stage of the project, setting milestones, and allocating resources effectively. The project plan serves as a roadmap, ensuring that the refit process stays on track and meets the specified timelines.
In parallel, the invoicing protocol is established, setting the framework for a streamlined financial process, making it easier to track expenses and stay within budget. At VMG Yachtbuilders we use dedicated accountancy software that shows all hours and expenses at any time. We believe in 100% transparency and accountability.
Contract negotiations finalize terms with the yard and suppliers. Once negotiations come to an end, contracts are signed, solidifying commitments.
The preparation stage efficiently sets the groundwork for a transparent, coordinated, and successful refit process, ready to bring your client’s vision to life.
