YACHT CONVERSION

RE-IMAGINE. RE-BUILD. RE-DISCOVER

Helping You Realise The Potential
No One Else Can See 

If you have the passion, the commitment and the drive…we have the technical expertise, innovative know-how and worldwide resources to help you bring your vision to life.

And we will make sure that the project is delivered to spec, compliance and on budget with the best-in-class engineering, design and technology that will be rewarding your vision for years to come.

  • Feasibility Studies & Technical Evaluation

JMS ensures the success of conversions by thoroughly analysing the vessel’s structure, systems, and performance. This includes assessing hull integrity, propulsion, adaptability, and environmental impact to identify opportunities and challenges. These insights guide critical design and engineering decisions for a viable and sustainable transformation.

  • Specification Creation & Budget Planning Contract

JMS works with Owners, designers, and shipyards to turn vision into clear technical specifications, defining scope, performance, upgrades, and sustainability goals. We create transparent budgets and manage contracts, costs, and planning to protect the Owner’s interests.

  • Full Project Management & Scheduling

JMS plans, coordinates, and executes every stage of a transformation, from concept to delivery. We oversee design, technical execution, and compliance, with detailed schedules to track progress and solve issues proactively.

  • Interior Redesign & Systems Integration

We work with leading designers and shipyards to create interiors that reflect the Owner’s vision, be it modern luxury, expedition functionality, or a blend, while optimising layout, flow, and guest comfort. Behind the scenes, we ensure the integration of all systems, including HVAC, AV/IT, lighting, engine controls, power management, and hybrid propulsion.

  • Concept & Design Development

JMS provides the creative, technical, and innovative foundation for yacht conversions. We work closely with you to define the vision, usage goals, and design priorities. Through sketches, layout plans, and feasibility studies, we transform ideas into tailored designs that respect the vessel’s structure while unlocking its full potential.

  • Negotiation & Yard Selection

Choosing the right shipyard is crucial to a successful yacht conversion. JMS guides you through a strategic selection process, assessing capabilities, timelines, and costs. We offer objective advice, ensure and negotiate terms to match your project’s complexity, quality, and budget.

  • Engineering & Structural Modifications Oversight

We ensure all structural changes align with the vessel’s integrity, standards, and design intent. JMS oversees engineering works and coordinates reviews to maintain safety, compliance, and schedules while avoiding costly delays.

  • Quality Control & Compliance Monitoring

We enforce rigorous quality control throughout the conversion to ensure flawless execution and compliance with international maritime standards. From material inspections to system testing, our team oversees all work to meet class regulations, flag requirements, and your bespoke specifications delivering a yacht designed to perform and impress.

  • Sea Trials, Final Delivery & Owner Handover

JMS uses a centralised system to give crew and shore teams seamless access to technical documentation. All records, drawings, and manuals are securely filed, updated, and easily retrievable, ensuring transparency, compliance, and operational efficiency during refits and daily operations.
