Synergy Yachting services
With over 30 years of experience between the management alone, we have a wealth of in-depth knowledge to offer. With no allegiance to any owner or broker we can offer an unbiased, honest and resourceful opinion of any yacht project. The range of services we offer reflects the varied needs of different owners and the depth of knowledge required to complete the project effectively and efficiently:
- Consultancy – ensuring an efficient, effective yacht acquisition and build
- Crew – sourcing the right crew for your needs
- Factory visit – reporting on progress
- Shakedown cruise – confirming the integrity of the build
- Delivery – safe, specialized logistics
- Broker introductions – ensuring a successful start
- Marketing – promoting your charter product
Consultants - Every client has different reasons for buying their yacht and therefore different needs. It is our aim to help satisfy the owner that every sensible precaution and course of action is being taken by all parties involved.
Crew finders - We don’t select crews from CVs that are blindly sent to us but have seen them aboard other owners boats, how they operate and maintain them all the way through to how well they dock the yacht, and then how they relax on them.
Factory visits - Having overseen the production, launch, commissioning and refit of many catamarans, we understand the need for the yard to be in tune with the owners needs. We will tour the yacht taking both a written and photo record – or a video presentation at request.
Outfitting - We can oversee work being completed by the builder and assess if there is a need for post launch customization – in many cases this can halve the costs. Some yachts headed out of the EC will be able to complete the post build work VAT free utilizing our customs bonded facility on the south coast of England.
Shakedown Cruise - We will put all the plant, systems and rigging through a thorough test. This will need to be carried out in the whole range of situations the yacht will experience, including dockside, under motor, at sail and at night. Upon the testing being completed a report of all testing done, with notes of loads achieved and problems identified will be presented.
Delivery - We only use skippers who have catamaran sea miles, not just the right tickets out of a box. We feel we offer a different product from most delivery companies through the depth of experience in catamarans and also in our approach to the logistics of the task. We will work with you to decide the best route and times, taking into account the physical restraints offered by both the environment and the yacht.
Introduction to Brokers - For those wanting see some return on their investment, chartering the yacht can make a lot of sense. It is normal for a charter yacht to take 3 seasons to reach capacity for charter. On our recommendation many brokers will be willing to commit to marketing one of our new boats entering charter.
Marketing - Content will determine whether or not a broker will hand out a brochure to clients. Websites need to be not only a great way to attract direct business, but also need to provide the electronic information that a charter broker needs. The best brochures and web sites require the best photos in the best locations and nothing sells a yacht better or is easier to get to a client than video. We have more experience than anyone at putting charter cats on film and also have a wealth of stock footage and photographs at your disposal.
