OWNER REPRESENTATION (NEW BUILDS)
WHY US…
Building a luxury yacht is a highly complex and personal journey, requiring meticulous oversight, expert coordination, and strategic decision-making from the very beginning. At Tramuntana Heritage, we take on the responsibility of bringing an owner’s vision to life, ensuring that every choice—from shipyard selection and design to construction management and final delivery—is handled with precision and care.
Our team, alongside our trusted network of naval architects, lawyers, marine engineers, captains, and surveyors, provides unbiased guidance throughout the entire process. We oversee technical specifications, contractual negotiations, design reviews, and build milestones, ensuring full compliance with classification and regulatory requirements while protecting the owner’s interests at every stage.
With strong relationships across leading shipyards and designers worldwide, we leverage our industry expertise to select the best partners, streamline operations, and ensure a seamless, on-time delivery of your yacht. Our involvement doesn’t end at handover—we continue to provide post-delivery support, warranty oversight, and operational management, ensuring a smooth transition into ownership.
At Tramuntana Heritage, our role is simple: we take care of every detail so you can enjoy the journey—stress-free and with complete confidence.
Defining the Vision & Assembling the Team
Every project begins with a clear understanding of the owner's vision—from design preferences and lifestyle needs to operational expectations and performance requirements. This stage is critical in defining the yacht’s layout, key features, and functional requirements, ensuring the design is both aesthetically stunning and operationally efficient.
Once the vision is established, assembling the right team is essential. We curate and coordinate the best designers, naval architects, technical surveyors, legal advisors, and shipyards to match the specific needs of the project. With our independent guidance, owners receive unbiased recommendations, ensuring the best expertise, craftsmanship, and technical capabilities are in place from the outset.
Design, Engineering & Contract Negotiation
With the General Arrangement Plan (GA) and technical specifications taking shape, the yacht’s engineering, performance, and onboard systems are carefully planned. Our role is to ensure that every design choice supports functionality, safety, and long-term reliability, balancing innovation with practicality. We work closely with the owner’s design and technical team, reviewing and refining all details to avoid costly revisions later.
Alongside the design and engineering process, we facilitate shipyard tenders and contract negotiations. Selecting the right builder is critical, and we ensure that every contractual detail—from budget and payment terms to delivery schedules and quality guarantees—is carefully structured to protect the owner’s investment and provide clarity and accountability throughout the build.
Construction Oversight & Quality Control
Once construction begins, ongoing management and quality control become essential. We supervise every stage, ensuring that the project stays on schedule, within budget, and meets the highest standards. Our involvement includes:
✔ Regular shipyard visits & progress reports to monitor milestones.
✔ Compliance oversight to ensure classification, flag state, and regulatory requirements are met.
✔ Budget control & change order management to prevent cost overruns.
✔ Coordination of all specialists, including technical surveyors and legal advisors, to ensure transparency and efficiency.
With hands-on project leadership, we minimize delays and ensure that every aspect—from hull construction to engineering, outfitting, and finishing—is executed flawlessly.
Testing, Commissioning & Delivery
As the yacht nears completion, technical testing, sea trials, and commissioning are essential to ensure full performance, safety, and operational efficiency. We oversee:
✔ Sea trials under real-world conditions to verify propulsion, stability, and onboard systems.
✔ Final inspections & acceptance testing to ensure quality meets contractual specifications.
✔ Crew onboarding & operational setup for a seamless transition into service.
Our involvement ensures that the yacht is not only technically sound but also ready for effortless ownership, with every system and detail fully optimized before delivery.
Warranty & Ongoing Yacht Management
The yacht build process doesn’t end at delivery—the warranty period is a crucial phase in ensuring the vessel performs as intended. We act as the owner’s advocate, ensuring that any post-delivery adjustments, outstanding works, and refinements are resolved promptly.
✔ Comprehensive warranty management, coordinating shipyard obligations and technical fixes.
✔ Ongoing performance monitoring to ensure long-term operational efficiency.
✔ Technical and maintenance planning to transition smoothly into full-time management.
Warranty oversight naturally transitions into long-term yacht management, ensuring that the yacht remains in peak condition, compliant, and efficiently operated. Through Tramuntana Heritage’s Yacht Management services, we offer continued financial, technical, and operational oversight, allowing owners to enjoy their vessel without the complexities of day-to-day management.
