Yacht Refit & Project Management Disciplined Engineering, Timelines & Budgets.
A major yacht refit is a complex industrial project where costs and schedules easily escalate without vigilant management. PMT Yachts Pro delivers end-to-end refit management: drafting tight scopes of work, competitive shipyard tendering, rigorous contractor supervision, weekly progress reporting, and sea-trial sign-off.
Turnkey Refit Oversight from Scope Definition to Sea Trials
Backed by 39+ years at sea, PMT Yachts Pro delivers uncompromising quality, transparent reporting, and independent owner advocacy.
Captain-Grade Refit Management & Cost Control
Without aggressive independent oversight, shipyard refits routinely suffer 30% to 50% cost overruns and missed delivery windows. Captain Petro & Sons audits every line item of shipyard quotes, conducts on-site weld and fairing inspections, and protects owner interests until sea trials are signed off.
