Refitted yacht leaving the yard at dusk

Services

Refit

Refit is where good yachts become great ones. A well-planned refit can add a decade of life and a full tier of value — new interiors, new decks, new systems — without the wait and cost of a new build.

Brineglass surveys your yacht, designs the transformation around a fixed yard period, and manages the design side until you cruise away.

Questions

Is a refit worth it versus buying newer?

Often, yes — especially when you love your yacht's hull and layout. Our survey puts honest numbers on both paths before you decide.

How long will my yacht be in the yard?

A guest-area refit typically fits one winter season; full conversions take longer. We plan the scope to your fixed window.

Can you work with our home yard?

Yes. We supervise design at any professional yard and adapt to their workflow, standards and surveyors.

Will a refit add resale value?

A coherent, well-documented refit by a recognised studio almost always improves both sale price and time to sell.
