Refits
It's all about planning and execution—which just happens to be our specialty.
Great value can be achieved from successfully refitting an existing yacht to your personal tastes and requirements. Be it from the outset of ownership or during, a refitted yacht can exponentially add to the yachts esthetic value, your onboard experience, as well as to the safety of your family and crew. The key to successfully refitting a yacht is the effective planning and correct execution of the plan. The key players are the captain or project manager who execute the plan and the owner that approves the financial and time implications. Owners mostly defer to their trusted yacht broker for guidance throughout the process and that is where the Northrop & Johnson exceeds in the industry.
Who else better to offer guidance than a team who have captained, built, project managed, and repaired yachts for decades prior to coming ashore? We boast the highest ratio of experienced superyacht captains who have become yacht brokers and thus thoroughly understand the refit process. Clients will be guided to the best value shipyard and be introduced to the naval architects, interiors designers, and supplies that have been vetted over years of relationships.
We understand your time is precious and when you recline onboard your floating manifest you want the yacht to proudly represent you. Yachting programs increasingly have less time for upgrades and a planned shipyard period stands the yacht well for years to come. An unplanned shipyard period can quickly become a expensive endeavor, both in personal time and lost charter income.
Whether we assist you with a new construction, find you the best existing yacht, or assist refitting your existing yacht; Northrop & Johnson has the team to add value to your yachting experience.
