Yacht Refit

Florida is home to more registered yachts than almost any other state, so it goes without saying that South Florida is one of the world’s leading destinations for yacht refits and yacht repairs. At Tess, our Fort Lauderdale yacht refit services are designed with one goal in mind — to provide you with a yacht that you’ll enjoy for years to come. Learn more about how we can help below, then schedule an appointment today.

Yacht Refit Services

Unlike smaller recreational boats, Super Yachts require a great deal of specialized maintenance and service. Regardless of whether your yacht needs routine maintenance and repair or if you’re looking for an entire systems overhaul, a yacht refit can extend the life of your vessel for many years.

When you’re considering yacht refit companies, it’s important that you work with a team that is experienced in everything from marine electrical refits to marine engineering and everything in between.

Tess Electrical LLC has provided marine electrical and engineering services as well as yacht retrofit services in South Florida for more than 35 years. As a more specialized electrical contractor, Tess can facilitate yacht refits of any scope—from electrical system overhauls to interior updates, as well as total yacht renovations.

When Should You Retrofit Your Yacht?

There comes a point for many yacht owners on whether to renovate their yacht or trade it in for a new yacht. In many cases, a refit is a better choice than selling the vessel and does add value to the yacht if it stays within class. With a refit, you can customize your yacht to look and operate precisely to your desired specifications.

Refitting has been on the rise in recent years as more owners seek to refit their existing vessels. Also, an increasing number of people are buying used yachts because it’s less expensive to refurbish an older ship than to buy a new one in some cases.

A refit typically involves significant electrical, structural, and mechanical work. Many yacht owners schedule a refit every five years to coincide with the survey and recertification process that most insurers require.

What Marine Electrical Components Are Addressed in a Yacht Refit?

Tess specializes in electrical system refits, repairs, and installation. Every yacht has a complex electrical system made up of lights, monitors, breakers, relays, alarms, and so much more. The company’s marine electricians and engineers use the latest technology and equipment to inspect and test voltage, amperage, and resistance.

Based on this expert evaluation, the Tess team will give you advice on repairing or upgrading electrical systems. Making relatively small changes can improve your yachting experience. For example, retrofitting internal and external lights with LED lighting can reduce energy demands and minimize future lighting maintenance. This can also improve overall safety on board by reducing the risk of fires.

A marine environment can erode the highest-quality electrical system. As part of the retrofit process, Tess uses Megger testing (also called insulation resistance testing) to gauge how well the yacht’s electrical systems can resist current flow. This test helps Tess target areas that need an upgrade.

The most common electronics upgrades include:

• AIS (Automatic Identification System)
• Depth sounder (sonar)
• Internet/WiFi

Tess Electric can extend the life of your yacht — and improve its overall safety — with a retrofit. It provides AutoCAD design for any electrical project. The company specializes in the design, installation, repair, and maintenance of:

• Yacht alarm systems
• Power systems
• Entertainment and AV systems

What Is the Process To Refit a Yacht?

A marine environment can age a yacht’s systems quickly with the harsh environment they operate in.. A complete refit is an excellent way to repair, replace, and upgrade systems at once rather than waiting for them to fail sporadically. Refits vary depending on the yacht’s size and age, budget, necessary repairs, and the owner’s customization choices.

Initial Survey

A marine survey is the first step in most refits. Conducting a yacht survey helps determine what repairs and upgrades are necessary and makes refits easier to plan and budget. You should always have a trained professional perform the survey to detect damage and potential issues that a non-expert could overlook.

In most cases, survey experts like Tess will thoroughly inspect the yacht’s systems, structure, and propulsion. The professionals at Tess perform comprehensive assessments of your yacht, including:

• Topside, tank, and underwater coatings
• Class and flag regulations
• Interior appliances and devices

Following a survey, Tess works closely with the yacht owner to create a project plan, design concepts, and work scope. Tess will appoint a project manager to handle each stage of the project. They will coordinate everything, including hiring subcontractors wherever necessary.

Yacht Refit Cost

The cost of renovating a yacht varies greatly, but a survey will help you get a renovation estimate. If you own a superyacht (over 120 feet in length), a thorough retrofit can cost between $300,000 to $1 million. A retrofit of a 60-foot personal yacht costs between $60,000 and $250,000.

How Long Do Yacht Retrofits Take?

One of the benefits of a retrofit is that it can take half the time of waiting for the delivery of a new yacht. Again, estimates vary depending on the vessel’s size and the renovation, but most refits take between a few weeks to a few months.

Types of Yacht Upgrades

Along with electrical and mechanical upgrades, many refits include cosmetic changes to the yacht. Some of the most common interior upgrades include:

• AV system: Advances in technology call for upgrades to the internet, audiovisual , and sound  systems
• Electrical Systems: One of the most important things we do for a yacht retrofit is to replace part or all of the existing electrical system for safety and efficiency purposes.
• Power Management Systems: Replace or upgrade the yachts existing power management systems
• Alarm Monitoring Systems: Alarm, monitoring, and control are vital functions on marine vessels. TESS develops and implements these systems, as well remote platform performance monitoring.

We are a Marine Electrical Service Company servicing mostly in the Large Mega Yacht Industry and Marine Land Installations (marinas, resorts, apartments, docks, etc). We have mobile Technicians who cover the tri county area (Broward, Palm Beach and Dade) in their fleet of vehicles.
