Everything a yacht needs ashore, under or over 500 GT.

Yachts under 500 GT

We write it and set it up for you.

If your yacht is under 500 GT, we will write its safety management system (often called a “mini-ISM”), set it up on board with your crew and keep it reviewed. For commercial yachts on the UK and other Red Ensign registers, and on the Marshall Islands register, this system is compulsory. On Malta, and for private yachts, it is recommended rather than required.

The set-up is included free when you sign a 12-month Safety Management (Tier A) contract, or we can do it as a stand-alone job for €3,500 plus travel. If the contract ends early, a pro-rata share of the set-up fee is repayable.

We act as your yacht’s competent person and provide her Designated Person Ashore (DPA), alongside SMS set-up and reviews, technical management and our other services.

Who we work with

Charter and private yachts, under and over 500 GT.

• Charter and private yachts under 500 GT
• Charter and private yachts of 500 GT and over, under the ISM Code
• Commercial yachts carrying 12 passengers or fewer
• Red Ensign (including UK and Cayman Islands), Marshall Islands and Malta flags, and others on request

Charter yachts are a key focus for us: we know the commercial codes, the inspections and what a busy season with guests on board asks of the crew. We understand private yachts just as well, where the owner’s privacy, programme and standards set the pace. We do not take on passenger yachts carrying more than 12 passengers.
