Marine and Residential Technical Consultancy

Technical knowledge you can trust

The superyacht and luxury residential markets are full of products, promises, and salespeople. Our consultancy service cuts through the noise. We help owners, captains, ETOs, project managers, interior designers, and shipyards make the right technical decisions — based on first-hand experience of what works in practice, not just on paper.

AV and IT system audits

A thorough assessment of an existing AV or IT system — identifying faults, inefficiencies, outdated equipment, and opportunities for improvement. Delivered as a clear written report with prioritised recommendations and estimated costs. Ideal before a refit or when taking over a vessel.

New build specification

Full AV and IT specification writing for new build superyacht projects — from concept and room-by-room requirements through to complete equipment schedules, cable specifications, and rack drawings. We work directly with naval architects, interior designers, and shipyard technical teams.

Refit design and oversight

Technical guidance through AV and IT refit projects — scope definition, contractor briefing, supplier selection, progress oversight, and commissioning acceptance. We act as an independent technical authority so you know the work is being done correctly.

Tender and procurement support

We prepare tender documents, evaluate contractor and supplier responses, and advise on award decisions — ensuring specifications are met and value for money is achieved. Particularly valuable for owners and management companies without in-house technical teams.

Crew and ETO training

Structured AV and IT training for crew and engineering officers — covering system operation, fault diagnosis, and basic maintenance. Delivered on board or remotely. Programmes tailored to the specific systems installed on the vessel, so training is immediately useful.

Remote technical support

Remote troubleshooting and technical support for ETOs and crew dealing with AV or IT issues. We can diagnose problems, provide step-by-step guidance, and where needed arrange for parts or a specialist to attend — wherever the vessel is in the world.

Why independent consultancy matters

No bias. No commission. Just good advice.

Most AV and IT companies in this industry sell products. When they specify a system, there's an inherent conflict of interest — they're recommending what they profit from, not necessarily what's best for the vessel or the owner.

Our consultancy service is independent. We charge for our knowledge and our time, not for the equipment we recommend. That means our advice is genuinely objective — and if we do supply equipment as part of a project, you know it's because it's the right product, not because it carries the best margin.

We've worked on projects ranging from 30-metre motor yachts to 80-metre expedition vessels, and we bring the same rigour to a single system audit as we do to a full new build specification.

Independent advice for owners who want confidence that their AV and IT systems are correctly specified and properly maintained.

Technical support and training for the crew who operate and maintain the systems day to day — wherever the vessel is.

Shipyards and refit yards

AV and IT specification, contractor oversight, and commissioning acceptance for new build and major refit projects.

Designers and architects

Technical guidance integrated into the design process — so AV and IT infrastructure is designed in from the start, not added as an afterthought.
