New build, refit & bespoke projects
Building or transforming a boat, with a representative who keeps the whole picture in view.
Your representative, from initial brief to delivery
Important decisions concerning a boat are rarely isolated. They involve technical, financial, contractual, logistical and operational choices that must remain consistent with one another.
Lion Yachting supports owners and buyers as an independent adviser, client representative or project coordinator.
Our role is to clarify the objectives, structure the stages, select the appropriate specialists, centralise information and follow execution. The client retains control of the decisions; we prepare the options, identify the risks and organise the work required to implement them.
Where the assignment requires it, we work with marine surveyors, naval architects, lawyers, insurers and specialist technicians. We coordinate their involvement without replacing their regulated professional expertise.
New build & delivery
A new-build project requires continuous alignment between the owner’s expectations, technical specification, contract, equipment choices, schedule and the reality of the shipyard.
Depending on the assignment, we can support:
- definition of the programme and priorities;
- comparison of shipyards and proposals;
- preparation of specifications with the relevant specialists;
- coordination of exchanges before contract signature;
- follow-up of construction stages;
- document management and decision tracking;
- review of modifications, options and additional works;
- organisation of shipyard visits;
- preparation for acceptance;
- coordination of trials, defects and corrections;
- delivery, familiarisation and commissioning.
Our role is to maintain an overall view and represent the client’s interests throughout the project.
Refit & optimisation
A successful refit begins with a realistic definition of the requirement, priorities, budget and expected finish.
Lion Yachting can structure and coordinate:
- the initial condition review;
- prioritisation of works;
- definition of the technical scope;
- consultation of shipyards and suppliers;
- comparative review of quotations;
- preparation of the schedule and budget;
- coordination of specialists;
- follow-up of progress and deviations;
- centralisation of reports and invoices;
- preparation of inspections, trials and recommissioning.
We maintain the overall coherence of the project so that decisions taken separately do not create additional cost, delay or incompatibility.
One point of contact, documented decisions
The value of our involvement lies both in coordination and in the quality of information provided to the client.
Depending on the project, reporting may include:
- a clear roadmap;
- a schedule of decisions and interventions;
- centralised quotations and documents;
- regular progress reports;
- photographs and inspection information;
- identification of risks, delays or required decisions;
- budget follow-up appropriate to the scope of the assignment;
- documented project closure.
