<a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/5122" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="List General Contractor GmbH (Company)">List General Contractor</a> (List GC), a firm specialising in outfitting luxury yachts and private residences, is based in Bad Erlach, Austria. In January 2025, <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/5122" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="List General Contractor GmbH (Company)">List GC</a> announced its acquisition of a 49 percent stake in Interior PROMAN, an Austrian company that specialises in project management for yacht interiors.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/351152/image/large-fd37c2ef68095e7b3d9aeccb721c3d2d.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/351152"> SuperYacht Times spoke with Rainer Gass, Operations Manager at <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/5122" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="List General Contractor GmbH (Company)">List GC</a> and one of the Managing Directors of Interior PROMAN, to discuss the strategy behind the acquisition of equity, its impact on the operations of <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/5122" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="List General Contractor GmbH (Company)">List GC</a>, and how it enhances their project management capabilities.Could you elaborate on the strategic considerations that influenced&nbsp;<a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/5122" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="List General Contractor GmbH (Company)">List GC</a>’s decision to invest in Interior PROMAN?<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/279344/image/large-94553a8e09ce38c192a988e05794e3ea.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/279344">We have enjoyed a longstanding collaboration with Interior PROMAN, having worked together on numerous projects within the yacht new-build sector for nearly a decade. Our relationship with their team extends over 20 years, during which we've built considerable mutual expertise. When one of the former co-owners approached us about acquiring a stake in the company, our decision was straightforward. The investment aligns perfectly with our strategy to expand our capabilities, not only in project management but also in engineering. Currently, we employ around 70 engineers and project managers. With this acquisition, we will add 11 highly experienced employees to our team. Their expertise was a key factor in our decision to acquire shares and further enhance our operational capacity.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/344397/image/large-2597f7e32c82e18beec8bf87272c193b.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/344397">How does this acquisition benefit your clients in terms of innovation and customisation?The acquisition significantly benefits our clients, enhancing our capabilities in project management within the yacht industry, a field known for its complexities and stringent demands. As projects increasingly involve multiple stakeholders, tight schedules, and extensive customisation, the need for highly skilled and flexible project managers and engineers becomes critical. Our team excels in navigating these challenges, ensuring that we meet the diverse needs of our clients, whether they are shipyards, owner’s representatives, or family offices.&nbsp;By integrating more experienced professionals into our workforce, we enhance our ability to manage and collaborate effectively with designers and other key stakeholders, ultimately delivering results that align with our clients’ ambitious specifications and timelines.&nbsp;What distinguishes your company from others?<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/351267/image/large-13842a1363cd85614c5c968b92fe59f1.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/351267">Since the foundation of the company in 1950, we have been a family-owned business, and this is a source of pride for us. <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/5122" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="List General Contractor GmbH (Company)">List GC</a> is constantly being driven forward by the distinct pioneering and entrepreneurial spirit of the List family. Since the beginning as a small carpentry business until today – the List family has always stood for the combination of tradition and innovation. Today, the third generation of the family is represented in the company and assures consistency but also a continuous entrepreneurial spirit.This year, we celebrate 75 years of company history and 25 years of experience as a turn-key interior outfitter on luxury yachts. Therefore, one distinctive advantage of <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/5122" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="List General Contractor GmbH (Company)">List GC</a> is the depth of experience we bring to each project. Managing a yacht interior project, especially for the first time, is considerably more complex than other types of project management, such as residential developments. The complexity stems not only from the sophisticated materials involved but also from the need to satisfy multiple stakeholders simultaneously.Which is more challenging: managing new-build projects or refit operations? How do the skills and methods employed in these two areas complement each other within your teams?<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/351270/image/large-a5909ae19bfcdcc0a2e454d908ba985b.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/351270"> We've learned that not all project managers and teams excel in both new builds and refits, leading us to specialise our teams accordingly. Now, we have dedicated teams for each type of project, which enhances our efficiency and expertise in handling specific challenges. This specialisation allows for mutual learning; refit teams learn from the new-build teams’ structured approaches, while new-build teams gain flexibility from the refit teams.Our workplace culture is highly transparent and collaborative, resembling a large family of project managers and engineers. This environment fosters an effective exchange of information, particularly when multiple projects occur simultaneously at the same shipyard.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/351269/image/large-1ed54aef25c4ed1deb8f5e2e4013fc6c.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/351269">One reason these projects are so challenging is their uniqueness. Each project demands specific, detailed solutions, pushing us away from standardisation towards more customised approaches. This uniqueness makes each project demanding yet remarkably rewarding.What can you share regarding plans for the future?Currently, we have about 350 employees in three locations in two countries with nearly 12,000- metre squared production space, and our focus is on maintaining our revenue without overly expanding our size. At present, our strategy involves leveraging the strengths of our existing companies, including the recent addition of Interior PROMAN, but also our two subsidiaries in Germany, Cohrs Werkstätten and Riederle Werkstätten, to advance our business.A crucial aspect of our strategy, especially following our acquisition of a stake in Interior PROMAN, is to combine and strengthen competencies. This strategy involves not just maintaining but enhancing our workforce's capabilities by blending the expertise of our seasoned employees with the fresh perspectives of our new colleagues. This mix is vital for navigating potential future challenges.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/351268/image/large-2c2700256cd1b2ad22e0f2b9c121d234.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/351268">

It not only reduces the number of application steps but also simplifies the process while maintaining exceptional performance.The high gloss feature enables applicators to swiftly identify and correct any imperfections before applying the final topcoat, thus preventing reworks during a critical phase of the superyacht project.Furthermore, the combination of fewer layers and higher volume solids, compared to the typical two-layer step, results in a reduction of Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs) by up to 50% per square metre.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/356524/image/large-95787e3afd772abcb60b4b9167f3104b.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/356524">Jemma Lampkin also noted, “By combining a high-performance primer with a show coat in one, we’re helping professionals to simplify the painting process and save time, without compromising on quality. This innovation is a direct response to the industry's need for faster turnaround times, reduced material use, and superior results. We are committed to developing solutions that make our customers’ jobs easier and delivering the premium finishes they expect.”

Crafted from recycled ocean plastics, these garments are specifically designed to reduce the carbon footprint, aligning luxury with environmental responsibility.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/355624/image/large-39f416668e6c8e36b8f83b8993841d9b.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/355624">How yacht crew uniforms are produced using recycled ocean plasticYachtwear is dedicated to reducing plastic waste by transforming it into high-quality, sustainable apparel. Through their Green RPET (Recycled Polyethylene Terephthalate) process, they ensure that each piece of clothing is not only environmentally responsible but also maintains superior performance, comfort, and durability."This process has been around for more than 20 years, and some companies, such as Quiksilver, were among the first to use this type of fabric. When it was time to redesign our Yachtwear line, ensuring that we made an eco-friendly design at every step was crucial," explains Belinda Esser, <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/1666" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="National Marine Suppliers (Company)">National Marine Suppliers</a> Interiors Project Manager in the New Build department.She emphasises the broader impact of these efforts: "Yachts are not typically seen as environmentally friendly, so any opportunity we have to make a positive impact on the environment must be seized. The material we use is not only recycled, but the hangtag is a card attached with string, and our packaging is a biodegradable bag, reducing waste at every stage. Our design philosophy goes beyond aesthetics; it's about creating sustainable products that help shift the yacht industry toward more eco-conscious choices. For us, making a conscious design means knowing that, by selling our uniform, we have made a measurable environmental impact."<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/355903/image/large-ef47a82f1004f1e9faef3ac8376a4d45.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/355903">Supply chain: From plastic bottles to sustainable apparelCollection &amp; sorting: Capturing recycled plastic bottles&nbsp;The process begins by collecting post-consumer plastic water bottles, which are sourced from:<ul><li>Recycling programs, including curbside pickup and deposit return schemes</li><li>Waste collection centres</li><li>Beach and ocean clean-up initiatives</li></ul>Once gathered, these bottles are transported to recycling facilities where they are sorted by type and colour, ensuring only the highest quality material is used.Cleaning &amp; shredding: Preparing the material&nbsp;At the recycling facility, bottles undergo a thorough cleaning to remove labels, adhesives, and contaminants. This includes:<ul><li>Sterilisation and washing to eliminate impurities</li><li>Shredding into small plastic flakes, forming the base material for the sustainable fabric.</li></ul>Melting &amp; reforming: Converting plastic into yarn&nbsp;The purified PET flakes are then melted and transformed into liquid polymer resin, which is extruded into ultra-fine polyester fibers. These fibers are cooled and spun into RPET yarn, offering the same durability, softness, and breathability as traditional polyester but with a reduced environmental footprint.Weaving &amp; fabric production: Creating sustainable yachtwear fabric&nbsp;This RPET yarn is woven or knitted into high-quality performance fabrics, which are:<ul><li>Possibly blended with other sustainable fibers for enhanced stretch or softness</li><li>Treated with finishes such as moisture-wicking, UV protection, and antimicrobial properties</li><li>Dyed with eco-friendly, non-toxic dyes to meet high standards of comfort, durability, and performance.</li></ul>Cutting &amp; Sewing: Turning fabric into yachtwear apparelThe prepared fabric is sent to ethical and sustainable manufacturing facilities, where it is:<ul><li>Cut into patterns</li><li>Sewn together with precision</li><li>Finished with branding elements including eco-conscious trims and labels</li></ul>Each garment undergoes stringent quality control checks to ensure it adheres to Yachtwear’s premium standards.Packaging &amp; distribution: Delivering sustainable fashion&nbsp;Yachtwear is committed to sustainability even in packaging and distribution, using materials that are:<ul><li>Recycled or biodegradable</li><li>Designed to minimise waste</li><li>Efficiently shaped to reduce the carbon footprint during shipping</li></ul><a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/1666" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="National Marine Suppliers (Company)">National Marine</a> believes that meaningful change begins with the supply chain and the willingness of vessels and their crews to embrace and adopt it.

Despite this, the environmental benefits, such as reducing plastic waste, make them a sustainable choice." In terms of comfort and durability, Esser assures that these eco-friendly uniforms perform on par with non-recycled alternatives, providing an environmentally responsible option without compromising quality.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/355622/image/large-ab26f1e638dd39676debf23d297272bd.jpeg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/355622">Optimising the logistics network for eco-friendly deliveries abroadLogistics represents one of the most challenging aspects of sustainability &nbsp;in the supply chain.

The wheelhouse features <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/55" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Omega Architects (Company)">Omega</a>’s signature shark tooth design on the overhang, and the elimination of fashion plates allows for unbroken views.

Margutti has devised four distinct interior design schemes for the yacht, each inspired by a Shakespeare play, demonstrating how even a yacht built on speculation can offer owners a high level of customisation.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/354390/image/large-fd4a849e1c6336d6aa04e6509ef475f0.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/354390">The main design scheme, based on As You Like It, focuses on a warm and homely atmosphere, with light wood veneers, metal trims and exotic details such as upholstered ceilings in the main saloon. Floor-to-ceiling windows flood the space with natural light, while the 86-square-metre owner’s stateroom on the main deck forward is a private haven featuring amber mirrored surrounds that frame the windows to enhance the sense of height. A private veranda, a rare feature on a yacht of this size, offers a secluded spot to enjoy the views.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/354394/image/large-e9954163afedfcdb66e3b1c9ffc1c9f4.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/354394">The second scheme, inspired by The Winter’s Tale, introduces deeper, earthy tones for those who prefer to cruise in colder climates, where comfort and cosiness are paramount. In the beach club wellness area, wool throws and a bioethanol fireplace add warmth, while hugging armchairs and soft carpets in the saloon create a cocooning feel.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/355633/image/large-3cf3a35097578d129f3a4e50328fad30.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/355633">For those seeking something more playful and nature-infused, A Midsummer Night’s Dream inspires the third design proposal. Maroon tones, organic shapes and floral patterns lend an ethereal atmosphere, with bubble ceiling lights and flexible furniture arrangements in the sky lounge offering spaces suited to both casual and formal occasions. In the beach club, lush greenery and a telescope encourage guests to reconnect with nature and stargaze by the water’s edge.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/355634/image/large-287ba48160ba51fbdc8153375f258ae9.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/355634">The final scheme, influenced by The Taming of the Shrew, brings a bold and dramatic touch with feminine flair.

In addition to the owner’s suite, there are four guest staterooms on the lower deck and a VIP stateroom on the bridge deck, making her ideal for both private use and charter. The main saloon is arranged with a large L-shaped Molteni modular sofa and Gio Ponti armchairs, with a daybed by Studio Liaigre acting as a subtle divider. The formal dining area, seating twelve guests, benefits from floor-to-ceiling windows and open bulwarks for uninterrupted views and an abundance of natural light.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/354878/image/large-2432b00cc3f21c5c2f17a7febceb895b.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/354878">Her 36-square-metre beach club doubles as a wellness retreat, featuring a sauna with floor-to-ceiling Alaska granite slabs and pale Aspen wood cladding.

Onboard Heesen’s 55m Project Agnetha: Shakespearean elegance meets Dutch craftsmanship

Over recent years the interest in yachts with unique and outstanding hull colours has taken off, with more owners diversifying their superyacht's style with the use of eye catching shades. However, making the decision to try something unique can be nerve wracking, especially if you don’t know how the colour will interact with the surrounding environment.&nbsp;<a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/1546" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Alexseal Yacht Coatings (Company)">Alexseal Yacht Coatings</a> has now unveiled a sophisticated new digital tool that allows users to do just that, visualising the brand’s extensive palette of standard solid and metallic colours across a variety of yacht types. From the hull, superstructure, all the way through to boot tops and hull stripes, this new technology is revolutionising the process of finalising the appearance of your superyacht. Accessible via desktop and mobile devices, the online configurator offers a seamless and intuitive way to explore how different colour combinations can transform the look and feel of a yacht – long before a single drop of paint is applied.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/355187/image/large-f245d08e07a558241aee9355190fd922.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/355187">A new dimension in colour selectionChoosing the right colour scheme is a vital first step in any yacht paint or repainting project. Traditionally, <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/1546" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Alexseal Yacht Coatings (Company)">Alexseal</a> has provided colour sample cards to aid this decision-making process, offering swatches that capture the depth and nuance of each finish. However, these static samples are limited in their ability to convey the real-world effect of colour on a yacht’s complex surface.The new Colour Configurator bridges that gap, offering a digital-first experience that allows users to explore all 121 available shades – from Snow White to Super Jet Black, Venetian Red to Lambo Orange, and Stardust Silver to Dolphin Blue – directly applied to realistic yacht models.As Thomas Schultz, Sales Director of <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/1546" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Alexseal Yacht Coatings (Company)">Alexseal</a> Yacht Coatings explains, “visualising your favourite colours on different hulls within seconds – that’s the mission of the colour configurator, and it is the perfect addition to our solid and metallic colour cards. The main focus during development was the suitable representation of the painted surfaces on the water – with all the lights and reflections – in combination with a simple and intuitive user interface.”<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/355189/image/large-271ed18c62ce51ff24ad938c887488c6.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/355189">Tailored for yacht owners, designers and shipyardsThe configurator presents five distinct yacht types to begin the design journey: a sailing yacht, motor yacht, picnic boat, sportfisher and a superyacht – each rendered with a high level of detail and positioned on the water for added realism. Users can personalise three key areas of the vessel – the hull, the superstructure, and the bootstripe – to experiment with different colour combinations and assess how they interact with the yacht’s lines and proportions.Navigation has been carefully considered, with a user interface designed to support a non-linear creative process. Colours and yacht types can be changed freely at any stage, and all key options are presented within a single, accessible screen.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/355191/image/large-b81a0937c95ed02134bef13833c49a6e.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/355191">Enhanced visual tools and custom outputOne of the Configurator’s standout features is the integrated 3D design lens – a movable, zoomed-in interface element that highlights the interplay of shapes, surfaces, and tones by combining key yacht geometries into a single object.

The core difference lies in our approach to projects and the dedicated team behind our operations. We prioritise client satisfaction throughout the entire process, from designing the AV/IT systems to supporting the first voyage of the yacht.For instance, during initial trips, we ensure that our technicians are either onboard or on standby nearby, providing reassurance and immediate support if needed. This proactive stance not only instils confidence in our clients but also enhances the reliability of our service.Moreover, a decade ago, when <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/4441" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="ONEXP (Company)">ONEXP</a> was created, we've revolutionised the traditional sequencing in yacht building by advancing many tasks that were previously left until the end. Unlike the traditional approach, where Factory Acceptance Tests (FAT) were limited to basic demonstrations, we now pre-commission an entire yacht up to 80% completion before the FAT stage. This methodical approach allows the Owner’s Team and anyone involved to test the system, ask for edits, and requests any new requirements. For instance, in our Rotterdam test room, we currently pre-installed 25 equipment racks and 60 TVs, with each tablet configured for its specific room.&nbsp;Our innovative approach ensures both consistency and quality. By configuring all TVs and systems in a controlled environment, we can promptly identify and resolve issues, allowing any problem in one cabin to be swiftly rectified across all cabins prior to installation. It curtails the need for last-minute installations and troubleshooting at sea, which traditionally placed AV/IT as a bottleneck.By redefining when and how work is executed, <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/4441" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="ONEXP (Company)">ONEXP</a> not only enhances installation efficiency but also ensures seamless integration of third-party systems such as lighting, blinds, and HVAC, all handled onboard. This approach allows us to minimise onboard time during peak periods at the shipyard while maintaining a highly efficient and professional presence to perfect the final details. This strategy has led to client satisfaction and positive feedback. At the end of a project, we have been complimented on our small rest points and how hard we try to fix them.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/354205/image/large-011d8803f52ab831c54235e9d0ed5d50.jpeg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/354205"><a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/4441" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="ONEXP (Company)">ONEXP</a>&nbsp;offers a comprehensive 24/7 support service.

During FAT, <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/4441" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="ONEXP (Company)">ONEXP</a> often encounters situations where, during system reviews, clients realise they want changes, such as a special cinema mode. This can present challenges as it requires significant alterations at a late stage. To mitigate this, we advocate involvement in the AV/IT design process. By engaging with owner’s representatives or shipyard officials a year and a half before delivery, we capitalise on a period when they are less busy and more open to detailed discussions about the system’s configuration. This proactive approach not only facilitates thoughtful input but also allows for the integration of customised features. For instance, during a past project, early discussions with the owner’s representative revealed that the owner was a massive fan of karaoke. We were able to swiftly adapt our plans by adding a state-of-the-art microphone and karaoke system, which proved to be a huge success. Integrating this feature well ahead of the final phase saved time and ensured that when the owner first stepped onboard, this personalised element, long desired, would pleasantly surprise him.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/354203/image/large-1a082ce8780b46b1fc1ff2c90c6cc86c.jpeg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/354203">Given your experience with refits, what is the most important thing to keep in mind when upgrading existing systems to ensure the needs of both the owner and the crew are met?At <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/4441" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="ONEXP (Company)">ONEXP</a>, we apply the same stringent approach to our new builds as we do to refits, focusing on quality, client needs, and reliability. All products are fully configured and tested in our office by our AV/IT engineers. This meticulous preparation reduces onboard installation time from three months to just two weeks for pre-commissioning, saving time, money, and minimising onboard disruption.We take pride in delivering high-end AV/IT solutions designed to enhance the onboard experience for yacht owners, guests, and crew. Our mission has always been to create an intuitive system, eliminating unnecessary complexity and ensuring effortless entertainment and control.One of the most frequent challenges in the yachting industry is the frustration caused by outdated onboard technology. A prime example, one of our last refit project was a yacht equipped with a media system that had not been updated in over a decade. What should be a simple action, turning on the TV or selecting a film, quickly became an inconvenient and time-consuming process for both owner and crew. <img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/354204/image/large-5588c74a32616d49d538b314fbe84256.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/354204">At <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/4441" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="ONEXP (Company)">ONEXP</a>, we specialise in transforming such intricate systems into intuitive, user-friendly experiences.

Palma Superyacht Village 2025: Record demand and new hubs for its biggest year yet

The 2025 Palma Superyacht Village promises an exciting return with a new Superyacht New Build Hub, showcasing innovation and sustainability.

Crew recruitment has long been one of yachting's most stubborn pain points. High turnover rates, mismatched hires, and rising recruitment costs have left yachts, owners and management companies frustrated - and typically out of pocket.&nbsp;That's why, in early 2024, <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/7555" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="mycrewagency. (Company)">mycrewagency</a> launched a bold new approach designed to tackle these challenges: a Retainer Fee Model. Beyond the limitations of traditional commission-based hiring, this model offers a more sustainable solution. One year in, the results speak for themselves. We sat down with Michael di Luca, founder of <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/7555" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="mycrewagency. (Company)">mycrewagency</a>, to discuss the model's performance, client feedback and what's next.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/353773/image/large-a8e98ca1fefa74df9d71166ed38867df.jpeg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/353773">A new approach to an old problem&nbsp;For years, yacht crew recruitment has leaned heavily on a contingency-based fee model. While seemingly straightforward, this structure often misaligns incentives, with recruiters profiting from high crew turnover. When a placement doesn't work out, the hiring cycle starts again, leading to excessive fees.&nbsp;Recognising these inefficiencies through conversations with crew and management companies, <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/7555" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="mycrewagency. (Company)">mycrewagency</a> introduced its Retainer Fee Model. Under this game-changing approach, yachts over 40 metres pay an annual fee for unlimited hires. This structure lets them cap recruiting costs, forecast annual budgets, and enjoy a more strategic hiring process.&nbsp;As Michael explains: "The traditional model financially rewards recruiters for maintaining an industry-wide high crew turnover. With our model, we have realigned financial incentives between employer and recruiter, which results in more accurate and comprehensive profile matching and, in turn, increased crew retention."<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/302797/image/large-d6aeb1ae4678657e5dcae5b34b69b520.jpeg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/302797">Results you can measure One of the challenges with traditional recruitment is the widespread practice of yachts using multiple agencies in an attempt to cast a wider net and access more candidates. However, Michael believes this approach reflects a deeper lack of trust in the existing recruitment process. “Many agencies are a carbon copy of each other – the only thing that seems to separate them is their name. They use the same methods to find crew in the same places, producing the same outcomes and invariably the same CVs.”Looking back on the first year of the Retainer Fee Model, Michael is pleased to report that the results have far exceeded expectations. "The structure is not a complicated one, and therefore, it has done exactly what I anticipated it would - save our clients significant amounts of time and money, and increase their onboard crew longevity."&nbsp;The numbers reflect this: client crew longevity onboard has increased by 27% on average per yacht, 100% of clients have renewed with <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/7555" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="mycrewagency. (Company)">mycrewagency</a> for another term, and 97% of clients have reported significant cost savings. Tracking client success is also done through the company's Annual Recruitment Report (ARR), providing insights into each hiring year and outlining strategies for continuous improvement.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/302795/image/large-34a000e86bdc5a8aed92dfe7857cde15.jpeg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/302795">Relationships that drive retention&nbsp;While the numbers are impressive, one of the most telling signs of success has been the glowing client feedback. Beyond the numbers and reducing costs, <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/7555" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="mycrewagency. (Company)">mycrewagency</a>'s approach fosters stronger relationships and a more personalised experience. &nbsp;The Retainer Fee Model means that Michael and his candidate-facing team forge more meaningful relationships and invest more time to ensure a stronger fit for both parties, emphasising crew to stay. "Our team are incentivised to spend the time getting to truly understand our clients' hiring requirements and unique yacht and programme to match crew with the yacht beyond just the CV and 'box ticking requirements."&nbsp;While the industry can seem flooded with digital solutions and endless AI discussions, Michael remains a firm advocate for the personal touch. "Dealing with people is more an art than a science," he says. "Matching crew with the right yacht extends far beyond just an algorithm, database, or filter system; it needs to have the addition of a human touch to produce the best long-term outcomes."This commitment to a more human, relationship-driven approach has translated into stronger, more meaningful connections, as Michael explains: "Clients increasingly understand the importance of the employer-recruiter relationship, and many of our clients often invite their account managers to visit them onboard to meet the crew and better understand the yacht, its crew, and requirements. This added layer of understanding gives us a huge advantage when finding suitable crew.”<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/302796/image/large-2289d7ae28fff17b16b5b8392a042e2c.jpeg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/302796" style="box-sizing: inherit; border: 0px; font-family: &quot;Open Sans&quot;, sans-serif; position: relative; max-width: 100%; margin: 1rem 0px; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-size: 13.6px; font-style: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-weight: 400; letter-spacing: normal; orphans: 2; text-align: start; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; white-space: normal; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255); text-decoration-thickness: initial; text-decoration-style: initial; text-decoration-color: initial;">Scaling up to meet demandThanks to the model's success, <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/7555" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="mycrewagency. (Company)">mycrewagency</a> now faces what Michael describes as a "good problem to have" - the need to scale. The company has invested in growing and training a larger team and is moving into a bigger office space to accommodate rising demand.&nbsp;In response to client needs and since the initial launch, the company has also introduced a more accessible version of the model for smaller yachts under 40 metres. "It quickly became apparent that smaller yachts also have significant demand for this kind of service," adds Michael.&nbsp;Furthermore, <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/7555" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="mycrewagency. (Company)">mycrewagency</a> has refined its structure to be even more client-centric, with its credit note feature that ensures fairness in cost savings. At the end of the client's year, the company calculates what a yacht's recruitment expenses would have been under the traditional contingency model. If the retainer fee exceeds this amount, the difference is credited back for the following year. "The credit note ensures that if we do our job well - solving our client's recruitment problems and reducing turnover, their costs decrease in real-time," explains Michael. The result? An increasing number of client referrals, reinforcing the model's effectiveness.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/302799/image/large-62a9ef5163ae10c6e7c1a25cd2738899.jpeg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/302799">Raising industry standardsThe Retainer Fee Model has received an overwhelmingly positive industry response. "There has been very little reluctance from captains and management companies in adopting our service because we are solving genuine, long-standing crew recruitment issues," says Michael.&nbsp;The demand for meaningful change is clear. "There's is a palpable desire for a meaningful change in how recruitment in our sector is delivered." As <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/7555" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="mycrewagency. (Company)">mycrewagency</a> looks to the future, the challenge lies in spreading awareness of the model's ability to address such entrenched industry problems.&nbsp;By prioritising crew longevity, improving recruitment efficiency, and providing yachts with cost certainty, <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/7555" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="mycrewagency. (Company)">mycrewagency</a> is setting new standards for crew placement. As more yachts experience the benefits of the Retainer Fee Model, the future of yacht recruitment is changing for the better.

Beyond box ticking: How mycrewagency's new approach has shaken up recruitment

The world of explorer yachts is evolving, and <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/6958" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Leapher Shipbuilding BV (Company)">Leapher Yachts</a> is setting standards to what it means to explore the most remote destinations. With a focus on efficiency, capability, and expert craftsmanship, the shipyard introduces the NAVIX50 - an expedition yacht that delivers true capability while staying under 500 GT.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/353544/image/large-3dee9832eabdd03ce17bcae71d81b9f9.png" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/353544">At 49.2-metres and a volume of 499 GT, this yacht proves that sub 500 GT explorers can offer uncompromising performance in a more manageable, efficient package. As the smaller sibling of the acclaimed NAVIX60, this new model provides seasoned owners with a more compact, yet equally capable platform designed for global exploration.To understand the philosophy behind this shift toward smaller explorer yachts, and the expanding explorer landscape, we sat down with <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/6958" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Leapher Shipbuilding BV (Company)">Leapher Yacht</a>'s Product Development Manager, Jaap Van Der Velde.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/353546/image/large-cfb37300bbcf949d07358972c8919124.png" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/353546">Meeting the market demandThe decision to focus on smaller explorer yacht production stems from Leapher Yacht's recognition of such an emerging market segment. "We identified a growing demand from clients for enhanced capabilities tailored to unique expedition adventures," says Jaap. "In response, we are expanding our portfolio with yachts that retain Leapher's hallmark of durability, efficiency, and long-range exploration capabilities while adapting to varying operational needs."<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/353545/image/large-725162f6e10edbd5c745b6d8266b1e52.png" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/353545" style="box-sizing: inherit; border: 0px; font-family: &quot;Open Sans&quot;, sans-serif; position: relative; max-width: 100%; margin: 1rem 0px; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-size: 13.6px; font-style: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-weight: 400; letter-spacing: normal; orphans: 2; text-align: start; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; white-space: normal; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255); text-decoration-thickness: initial; text-decoration-style: initial; text-decoration-color: initial;">The NAVIX50 is engineered for exceptional autonomy, delivering remarkable efficiency in the sub-500 GT market. But, according to Jaap, the shipyard's approach wasn't simply about scaling down existing design. "Rather than simply scaling down, we started with a blank sheet of paper," he explains. "We defined key expedition requirements first. This approach ensured that every element, from weight distribution to storage efficiency, was optimised without compromising the yacht's capability." The shipyard worked with specialists to develop naval architecture that keeps durability and long-range capabilities at the forefront.Following the NAVIX60's success in setting new standards for expedition yachts, the NAVIX50 continues Leapher Yacht's forward-thinking trajectory. "Every yacht we design and build carries forward the NAVIX60's commitment to excellence."<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/353552/image/large-73a9e60a7275d1216a81d902432ea107.png" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/353552" style="box-sizing: inherit; border: 0px; font-family: &quot;Open Sans&quot;, sans-serif; position: relative; max-width: 100%; margin: 1rem 0px; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-size: 13.6px; font-style: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-weight: 400; letter-spacing: normal; orphans: 2; text-align: start; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; white-space: normal; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255); text-decoration-thickness: initial; text-decoration-style: initial; text-decoration-color: initial;"> Design innovation in a compact package&nbsp;Created in collaboration with British design studio AB Design, led by designer Aristotelis Betsis, the NAVIX50 features a striking exterior with geometric glazing, bold deck overhands, a high bow, and a sheltered foredeck, all aspects designed to handle challenging environments. Despite its smaller footprint, the model maintains the distinctive masculine, purposeful lines that define the NAVIX series.&nbsp;Designed for owners who prioritise performance and adaptability, the yacht offers a highly versatile operational profile with customisable interiors. The layout includes six cabins (with an optional seventh), expansive communal and crew spaces, an upper deck owner suite, and flexible areas that can be configured as a gym or wellness space. &nbsp;Other unique design features include the 5.5-meter heated swimming pool and space for 8.6-metre and 4.5-metre tenders. The model is also equipped with a wheelchair-accessible lift.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/353555/image/large-ac31e0bb42e27a8552799ae328bfccbf.png" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/353555" style="box-sizing: inherit; border: 0px; font-family: &quot;Open Sans&quot;, sans-serif; position: relative; max-width: 100%; margin: 1rem 0px; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-size: 13.6px; font-style: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-weight: 400; letter-spacing: normal; orphans: 2; text-align: start; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; white-space: normal; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255); text-decoration-thickness: initial; text-decoration-style: initial; text-decoration-color: initial;">&nbsp;It is clear that while retaining the compact volume, the luxury amenities and accommodation, crew, storage, and technical areas haven't been overlooked. "Many yachts on the market resemble tough expedition vessels but lack the true capability, often due to size constraints below 500GT," notes Jaap. "With the NAVIX range, <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/6958" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Leapher Shipbuilding BV (Company)">Leapher Yachts</a> is committed to solving these challenges, ensuring our explorers deliver both luxury and the operational capabilities required for true expedition adventures."<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/353551/image/large-34c2ff602c3645be3b729eef023c4e95.png" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/353551">Future-proofing exploration&nbsp;The shipyard’s commitment to sustainability is evident across its new range. "Sustainability is not just about compliance; it's about future-proofing our yachts for long-term efficiency and reduced environmental impact," Jaap emphasises. "We closely follow advancements in alternative fuels, emissions reduction, and energy-saving technologies."<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/353563/image/large-7dba71a2331bb92e3c2171a4f9407b93.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/353563">The NAVIX yachts incorporate commercial-grade platforms, providing more space for sustainable features without compromising performance. "Hybrid propulsion, energy recovery systems, and optimised hull efficiency are all key aspects of our approach," explains Jaap. He adds: "By designing yachts that are built to last and operate efficiently, we ensure that sustainability is embedded into the DNA of the NAVIX range."<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/353547/image/large-4750d1fc833d6b3ffd909facab6411f5.png" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/353547" style="box-sizing: inherit; border: 0px; font-family: &quot;Open Sans&quot;, sans-serif; position: relative; max-width: 100%; margin: 1rem 0px; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-size: 13.6px; font-style: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-weight: 400; letter-spacing: normal; orphans: 2; text-align: start; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; white-space: normal; text-decoration-thickness: initial; text-decoration-style: initial; text-decoration-color: initial; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);">The ongoing evolution of NAVIX&nbsp;The NAVIX50 is just the beginning of <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/6958" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Leapher Shipbuilding BV (Company)">Leapher Yacht</a>'s strategic expansion.

While details remain under wraps, we are already laying the groundwork for the NAVIX75, our next evolution in explorer yachts."<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/353543/image/large-b47fed5ce58ce1a38d0942f41a66ab94.png" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/353543" style="box-sizing: inherit; border: 0px; font-family: &quot;Open Sans&quot;, sans-serif; position: relative; max-width: 100%; margin: 1rem 0px; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-size: 13.6px; font-style: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-weight: 400; letter-spacing: normal; orphans: 2; text-align: start; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; white-space: normal; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255); text-decoration-thickness: initial; text-decoration-style: initial; text-decoration-color: initial;">Showcasing in Florida&nbsp;For those attending this year's <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Event/267" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Palm Beach International Boat Show - 2025">Palm Beach International Boat Show</a>, <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/6958" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Leapher Shipbuilding BV (Company)">Leapher Yachts</a> will showcase the NAVIX range, and key team members will be present to discuss future projects with clients and brokers.

Leapher Yachts expands the explorer landscape with the NAVIX50

Leapher Yachts  introduces the NAVIX50 in Palm Beach

Kicking off between 8 and 12 May 2025 in Göcek, Fethiye, the inaugural <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Event/284" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Superyacht Show Türkiye - 2025">Superyacht Show Türkiye</a> 2025 is set to make a name for itself amongst international boat shows worldwide. SuperYacht Times Features Writer Emma Dailey sat down with the makers behind this unmissable four-day event to learn how they are strengthening the Turkish yachting sector and breaking the boat show mould.&nbsp;At the show, visitors will be able to peruse a display of traditional Turkish wooden gullets as well as state-of-the-art builds. Additionally, participating companies are set to showcase their forward-thinking concepts and international yacht debuts, while key speakers share their insights into the latest industry trends.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/352767/image/large-8d773b044a528ee95fe953c2425037c1.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/352767">Despite its coastal positioning, large-scale maritime fairs are a rare sight in Göcek, as many boat shows flock to the densely populated Istanbul instead. Even so, the often overlooked Göcek is a crucial spot on many yacht travel routes, boasting an impressive seven full-equipped marinas in total. Owner Mehmet Kabak has even bigger aspirations for the region’s future, explaining “our goal is to organise three sectoral events annually in this region, including the boat show.”<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/352770/image/large-2bbf92f452a80827f926ba0bf8d20d1c.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/352770">Why the Superyacht Show Türkiye 2025?One of the most standout aspects of the <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Event/284" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Superyacht Show Türkiye - 2025">Superyacht Show Türkiye</a> is the location named in its title. “According to recent reports,” Kabak said, “Turkey ranks second in the world in yacht production. We have a significant number of shipyards offering specialised productions and various options, as well as the potential to provide all technical support.”<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/352774/image/large-203250c14a5beff5fefc0f188afbe653.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/352774">“We believe that the production power of Turkey has not been adequately emphasised in fairs held within the country, and international participation is often lower than expected. Göcek offers us a unique advantage in this regard,” Kabak continued.Not only that, but the bustling yacht tourism present in the region perfectly complements the entertainment activities and evening mixer events set to occur over the four days, creating an ideal springboard for networking with yachting enthusiasts and experts. <img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/352771/image/large-741934102d901c445e78a009e692b9bb.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/352771">Broadening Turkish horizons “Türkiye is almost a peninsula, and while maritime culture was initially prevalent in coastal cities, it has recently spread to inland areas as well,” Kabak explained. In the past five years especially, the country has seen a breakthrough, as increases in their logistical capabilities have “placed us very close to key countries in yacht production, such as Italy and the Netherlands,” Kabak said.&nbsp;More and more yacht manufacturers are branching into refit operations on a daily basis, while many refit firms are taking initiative to full-scale production, making it a destination for every stage of the vessel’s life cycle and global player in yachting. “We can also observe that Turkish companies have achieved significant sales figures in the global market,” Kabak added. <img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/352768/image/large-ab93eeeef39e15eeef17378be2f94fa7.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/352768">Keeping up with the latest trendsAs a brand new event, much of <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Event/284" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Superyacht Show Türkiye - 2025">Superyacht Show Türkiye</a>’s exhibitions will centre around relevant and popular topics in the yachting industry. One such subject is that of sustainability, as the show will address eco-friendly yacht designs and technology that strive to reduce environmental footprints. There will also be a special focus on the growing demand for custom-build yachts, exploring the industry’s shift to pioneering personalisation.“Another trend is the integration of advanced technologies, such as smart connectivity and AI-driven navigation systems, which enhance both the performance and the overall experience of yachting. Furthermore, the rise of experiential travel has led to a greater emphasis on creating unique and immersive experiences for yacht owners and charter clients. Through our event, we aim to showcase these trends and provide a platform for industry professionals to connect, exchange ideas, and explore the future of yachting,” Kabak commented. <img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/352769/image/large-1f293c7d251d7518d5be10e51bce25ca.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/352769">Reaching a new client base In addition to exhibiting an exciting array of vessels, high-profile deals and partnerships, the <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Event/284" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Superyacht Show Türkiye - 2025">Superyacht Show Türkiye 2025</a> provides the perfect platform for yacht builders, designers and suppliers to reach new clientele.&nbsp;“We make it a priority to maximise the use of national and international publications, social media, and our extensive communication network,” Kabak explained. “Based on ticket sales, participant profiles, and the diversity of our conference speakers, it is clear that there is significant interest from different countries and various sectors of the industry. We are confident that this will contribute to increasing new client potential during the show.”<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/352772/image/large-3df47ad05e55dbaba8babe244d3747f9.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/352772">A budding boat show with long-term potential&nbsp;Originally founded with the goal of organising three sectoral events annually, The <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Event/284" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Superyacht Show Türkiye - 2025">Superyacht Show Türkiye</a> team’s first event was held on 23 November 2024. Known as the “First International Women in Yachting” conference, the event featured 13 international professional women from various sectors of the industry congregating to share their experiences with other women in the field.&nbsp;“Expanding our conferences to other cities and countries and making this a traditional format is certainly among our long-term goals as <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Event/284" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Superyacht Show Türkiye - 2025">Superyacht Show Türkiye</a>.
