step on board…
At JBS Yachting we strive to turn your dreams into a reality through a carefully planned and executed new construction process. Our process consists of seven crucial steps that ensure that your yacht is built to perfection.
Vision
Every great creation starts with a vision. In this phase, we listen carefully to your desires, dreams, and expectations. We discuss your ideas and inspirations to gain a clear understanding of what you’re looking for in your ideal yacht. Our experts help you refine and solidify your vision, providing a strong foundation for the rest of the process.
At JBS Yachting, we place great importance on this initial phase, as it lays the groundwork for the entire project. During this phase, we take the time to truly get to know you and understand your maritime dreams. We invite you to share your ideas and sources of inspiration with us, whether they be sketches, photos, stories, or specific requests.
We discuss various aspects, such as the intended use of the yacht, the desired size and style, and the features and amenities that are important to you. Whether you dream of an elegant and luxurious recreational yacht, a robust commercial vessel, or a striking branded yacht, we ensure that we have a clear and detailed vision of your ideal yacht.
Additionally, our experts bring their extensive knowledge and experience to help you further develop and refine your ideas. We advise you on the possibilities and limitations and provide suggestions that can enhance your vision.
Design Brief
After mapping out the vision, the process of creating a detailed design brief begins. This step is essential because the document captures all the important aspects and specifications of your future yacht. The design brief serves as a blueprint for the design and construction process, and ensures that all parties involved share the same vision and objectives.
The document also contains extensive design details describing the aesthetic and functional aspects of the yacht. Attention is paid to the style and materials that will be used for the hull, deck and interior. Color schemes and finishes are also discussed in detail to ensure that the yacht is not only functional, but also visually appealing.
Sustainability and efficiency play an important role in modern yacht design. That is why the design letter also contains proposals for energy-efficient and environmentally friendly solutions, as well as possible energy sources such as diesel, hybrid or electric propulsion. This contributes to a more sustainable and future-proof yacht.
Preparation
During this phase our experienced engineers and designers work closely together to create detailed construction drawings and specifications. These documents form the technical foundation of your yacht and contain all the necessary information to ensure that the construction process runs efficiently and without hitches. Every aspect of the design is meticulously controlled and optimized, from the hull structure to the interior layout, to ensure that your yacht is not only aesthetically beautiful, but also functional and durable.
Selecting the right materials and suppliers is another important step in this phase. We draw on our extensive network of renowned suppliers and manufacturers to ensure the highest quality materials and components. Whether it concerns the best wood species for the interior, advanced technical systems or high-quality finishes, we strive for perfection in every detail. Our long-term relationships with reliable suppliers enable us to ensure consistent quality and on-time delivery.
In addition, logistics planning plays an essential role in the preparation phase. We develop a detailed project plan that covers all aspects of construction and delivery. This plan includes strict timelines, milestones, and coordination schedules to ensure that all parts of the project are in sync. We anticipate potential challenges and ensure that we are flexible enough to respond to changes quickly and efficiently.
Realization
Realization – In the realization phase, our professionals start building your yacht according to the specifications in the design letter and construction drawings. This crucial phase includes several steps in which our team works with precision and attention to detail to bring your yacht to life.
Once the hull is assembled, we proceed to the installation of the engines and technical systems. This includes not only the drive systems but also all essential systems such as electrical wiring, hydraulic systems, plumbing and climate control. Our technicians ensure everything is installed and tested to the highest standards to ensure optimal performance and reliability. The engines and technical systems are carefully calibrated and tested to ensure that they function perfectly and meet your specific requirements.
With the hull and technical systems in place, we focus on the interior of your yacht. Our professionals work with an eye for detail to create a luxurious and comfortable living environment. Every interior component, from furniture and lighting to cladding and decoration, is installed by hand according to pre-approved designs. We select high-quality materials and finishes to achieve an elegant and refined interior that is both functional and aesthetically pleasing.
Commissioning
During the commissioning phase, all systems and installations on your yacht are thoroughly tested to ensure they are functioning properly. This stage is essential to ensure that your yacht meets the highest standards of safety and performance.
We start by conducting extensive tests on the engines and drive systems. Our technicians check the engines for their power, efficiency and reliability. We test the engines under different conditions to ensure they perform consistently no matter the situation. This includes both stationary and cruising tests, where we check the engines at different speeds and load levels.
After running all tests, we carefully document the results. Any discrepancies or problems are identified and addressed immediately. We ensure that all systems meet the specifications and standards set out in the design letter. This documentation is also shared with you so that you are fully informed of the status and performance of your yacht.
Handover
Handover is the moment when your yacht is officially handed over to you. This is an important and exciting phase, during which we ensure that you become completely familiar with your new yacht and that everything is exactly as you wish.
During delivery, any final adjustments are made to ensure that everything is perfect. This can vary from minor finishes in the interior to fine- tuning of technical systems. We take your feedback seriously and ensure that any concerns are addressed promptly. Our goal is to ensure that your yacht is in perfect condition and fully meets your expectations.
The delivery is completed with the formal handover of your yacht. We celebrate this special moment with you and are ready to support you in the future with any questions or needs you may have.
Aftercare
Our service does not end with delivery. We offer extensive aftercare to ensure that you can enjoy your yacht for years to come. At JBS Yachting we understand that owning a yacht is an ongoing journey, and we are here to support you at every turn.
Your needs and desires may change over time, and we are here to assist you with any upgrades or modifications you desire. Whether it’s installing new technologies, redesigning interior spaces, or improving the performance of your yacht, we offer tailor-made solutions to ensure your yacht continues to meet your expectations. We work with you to realize your visions and ideas, so that your yacht adapts to your lifestyle and preferences.
