Yacht
Build & Refit

Learn how the Pelorus Yachting team uses their expert knowledge to advise and assist in your yacht build or refit project, as well as destination and marketing consulting services.

Yacht travel has changed considerably in recent years. The industry has seen significant technical developments and a shift in the mind-set of yacht owners and crew, much of which centers around exploring further afield while minimally impacting the environment.

With this comes the need for yachts that have been specifically designed and equipped to tackle these unique and remote destinations. A deep understanding of both the yachting world and extreme exploration is imperative in preparing a yacht for this kind of travel.

This is where the Pelorus Yachting team can advise and assist in your yacht build or refit project. Whether you are seeking to fully customize an existing vessel or commission a new build project, our highly skilled team provide the expertise and advice in operational requirements and technical modifications down to the latest tenders and toys for expeditions, to maximize the yacht’s capabilities and enhance her appeal for charter.

Design, Build, Refit

Expertise and Experience

Using our operational experience and industry connections we can guide you through the journey of a new build or refit project. We work with a broad team of experts consisting of Naval Architects, Master Mariners, Captains, Engineers and Aviation specialists, all of whom have been through multiple build projects. Collectively we can assist you from concept to delivery and beyond.

Self-sufficient Exploration

Pelorus operates in some of the world’s most remote regions, usually scarcely, if at all visited by yachts. We understand the specialist requirements these regions demand of vessels and their crews. While we can assist and advise any yacht in preparing for these expeditions, preparing your yacht in the design, build or refit stage will generally allow for greater, more self-sufficient exploration, in some instances even negating the need for an accompanying support vessel.

Future Proofing Your Yacht

When consulting on any yacht design, build or refit project, the focus for Pelorus is on future proofing the vessel. In doing this, we help to ensure the best possible onboard experience for years to come. We collaborate with owners, shipyards and designers to come up with flexible, practical and esthetically pleasing solutions. Yachts are designed to explore and helping owners get the most from their investment is pivotal to us.

Specialist Equipment

When operating in remote parts of the planet it is essential that clients and crew have the safest and most practical equipment to ensure success. We consult with owners, captains and yards on the most suitable tenders, toys and equipment for the regions they wish to explore.
