Refit & Modernization


Your yacht writes its own story through years of use and adventure. At Praxis Marine, we approach each refit by first understanding that story, then thoughtfully evolving the vessel while respecting what makes it yours—combining technical expertise with genuine understanding of how you use the boat.

Understanding Your Refit Vision


Every refit begins with conversation about your goals: performance improvements you seek, systems requiring upgrades, interior updates you envision, and operational challenges you’ve experienced. We assess your vessel’s current condition and technical systems, identify opportunities for enhancement that align with your usage patterns, and develop comprehensive scope and budget planning that maximizes value.​

Refit Project Management


We serve as your representative throughout the refit, protecting your interests and managing the process. Our team coordinates shipyard or facility selection based on required work scope, reviews and negotiates refit contracts with legal support, establishes clear payment milestones tied to verified completion, and sets up project management systems for transparent communication and documentation.​

Technical Oversight & Quality Control


Throughout the refit, our specialists provide on-site oversight at critical phases. We review all design modifications and equipment specifications, verify that workmanship meets marine standards and classification requirements, coordinate between designers, engineers, and yard personnel, and assess risks particularly when modifying existing systems or structures.​

Systems Modernization


What distinguishes our refit management is operational maritime expertise. Having the collective hands-on background our team possesses, we understand which systems upgrades deliver genuine improvements versus those that simply add complexity. We evaluate modernization options for navigation, communication, and safety systems, assess propulsion and mechanical system improvements for reliability and efficiency, review electrical system upgrades for current and future capacity needs, and ensure all modifications maintain the vessel’s seaworthiness and regulatory compliance.​

Budget Control & Timeline Management


We protect your investment through rigorous oversight: tracking all costs against agreed budgets, reviewing invoices and evaluating change orders before approval, managing the project schedule to minimize downtime, and coordinating owner-supplied items and equipment procurement.​

Commissioning & Sea Trials


After completion, we verify that all refit work performs as specified. We conduct comprehensive systems testing and commissioning, coordinate sea trials to validate performance improvements, document any deficiencies requiring correction, and manage the final acceptance and warranty documentation.​

From initial assessment through final sea trials, Praxis Marine team ensures your refit evolves your yacht thoughtfully, enhancing performance and functionality while preserving the character that makes it yours. The result: a vessel that serves your needs better while remaining genuinely ready for the adventures ahead.
