The standard starts before arrival

Protect the finish.
Respect the programme.

A yacht visit can involve several trades, deliveries and guest movements within a short window. Clear access arrangements and an agreed work sequence help keep those activities under control.

From enquiry to handover

Four things agreed before work begins.

01 / The requirement

Vessel and timing

Vessel length, marina or berth, requested services, arrival and departure dates, and a captain or authorised contact.

02 / The approach

Condition and method

Surface inspection, treatment compatibility, access, containment, work permissions and any specialist input required.

03 / The appointment

Scope and cost

Written deliverables, exclusions, supplier responsibilities, price, payment terms and the agreed service window.

04 / The handover

Inspection and closeout

The agreed supervisor and the vessel’s authorised representative check completion against the scope, record outstanding items and confirm acceptance. Specialist care instructions accompany the handover where applicable.

One agreed scope. Clear responsibility.

For yacht agencies and management companies

Bring us your vessel’s work list and the arrangements already in place. We scope IAWA’s role around the captain, yacht manager and appointed agent, with responsibilities agreed before the appointment.

Who carries out the work

Your quotation identifies the tasks IAWA is to deliver and any separately appointed specialists or suppliers. For exterior and interior care, agree the personnel, method and supervisor for the specific surfaces and finishes. Provisioning, fuel and transport arrangements identify the supplier or operator responsible for delivery. The vessel’s authorised representative and the agreed supervisor establish how completion will be checked and accepted.

Instructions and commercial approval

Agree who may instruct work, the spending limit and how changes receive approval. The scope should distinguish IAWA’s fees, supplier charges, deposits and any handling or coordination charges, with the invoicing party and payment terms settled before orders are placed.

Reporting and client communication

Before work starts, agree the reporting contact, update frequency, approval points and the route for delays or additional findings. Establish what may be shared, with whom, and whether all client communication must pass through your agency. Any confidentiality requirements belong in the appointment.

Local access and the existing agent

Our marine service enquiries focus on Sint Maarten. The marina, berth, access permissions and permitted work window are checked for each assignment. Work at anchor, tender access and service outside Sint Maarten require separate confirmation. IAWA’s service scope is agreed alongside your existing agent; port formalities and statutory clearances remain with the responsible authorities and appointed agent.

Check suitability before appointment

Tell us which personnel experience, references, insurance or qualification records your assignment requires. We will confirm which supporting records are available and applicable before you appoint us, and agree a private route for their review. Client and vessel information is shared only with the relevant permission.
