The same backbone, regardless of programme
Annual audit, onboard.
One day onboard with the crew. Manuals, procedures, running hours, class dates, and spares verified and brought current. Findings in writing.
Emergency repair kit.
A small box of essentials, with everything you need to get home. Epoxy pipe repair, leak seal foam, fuel polish. The kit that buys you four hours. On us.
One number, one team.
From the first call you speak to the same people every time. No call centre, no three-way relay.
Ready when the owner is.
A standing technical team for the yacht. We are on call around the clock, with the captain's number saved and the engine room already audited. The onboard crew always has a peer to call. The owner gets decisions, not delays.
Every vessel we support begins the season with a full audit of manuals, procedures, and spares. The yacht is prepared, the crew is confident. Through the season we are the technical line the engineers rely on, and the people the captain calls to source, freight, or sign for parts anywhere in the world.
Annual Planned Maintenance System Check
Equipment, system by system.
We walk the yacht with the engineering crew. Equipment hierarchy, running hours, manufacturer data, and serial numbers verified and brought current in the PMS.
Compliance, ready for survey.
LSA, FFE, and ISM critical equipment reviewed against class dates. Survey day arrives with the paperwork organised, the evidence ready, and the crew confident.
Spares, ready for the season.
Critical spares inventoried against the catalogue. The season starts with a clear picture of what is onboard, and a top-up list agreed in advance.
Yachts do not break in convenient places.
Hours matter when a yacht is down. We choose the route case by case: cabin baggage for parts under 23 kg, expedited air or sea freight for everything else. The people who source the part are the people who hand it over at the marina.
Hand-carry.
Under 23 kg. Airline cabin baggage, met at the marina, signed and handed over. Two days door-to-berth on most routes, instead of five to ten through commercial freight.
Full freight.
Anything larger: engines, pumps, generators. Sea or air freight, customs cleared in advance, delivered to the dock by the same team you called.
From phone call to passerelle
Routine destinations: Palma, Antibes, Antigua, Auckland, Fort Lauderdale, Cape Town.
Fitting on request, at our standard engineer rate. Otherwise delivered to the engine room for the onboard crew.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is included in the Foreland technical support programme?
Every tier includes the annual planned maintenance system check onboard, the emergency repair kit fitted to the engine room, and a single number reaching the same engineering team day and night. Higher tiers add monthly on-call engineer hours, hand-carried parts in Europe and internationally, an assigned lead engineer, and a pre-passage audit.
What size yachts is this for?
Sailing and motor yachts over 24 metres. There is no upper length ceiling.
How does hand-carry work?
For parts under 23 kg, an engineer flies with the part as airline cabin baggage, meeting the yacht at the marina and handing the part over directly. Door-to-berth time is typically two days.
Does Foreland fit the part once it arrives?
Standard delivery is to the engine room for the onboard crew to fit. Fitting by a Foreland engineer is available on request at our standard engineer rate.
How is the programme billed?
Monthly billing, GBP by default with EUR and USD available at indicative cross-rates. Annual term with thirty days' notice to leave.
