We stand between capital and the vessel. Aquator stabilises distressed projects, puts financial control around ownership, and engineers the exit — for owners, family offices, lenders, insolvency practitioners and buyers.
New builds and refits at stressed yards: contract and deposit review, cost- and time-to-complete, step-in and completion planning.
13-week cash views, OPEX resets and governed reporting packs that principals, family offices and lenders can rely on.
Disposal strategy and sell-side readiness for the vessel — brokerage, auction, structured sale or charter-to-sell.
Independent collateral and covenant reporting on financed yachts, with early-warning flags and enforcement-readiness files.
Lay-up, warehousing and custody plans for owners, receivers and administrators — preserving value while the exit is prepared.
When yacht costs reach the board agenda, principals need an independent view of the asset — what it really costs, what it is worth, and how to exit well.
Falling values and higher rates are pushing loan-to-value ratios towards covenant limits. We provide independent monitoring and workout support on financed yachts.
Administrators, receivers and auction agents need someone who can run, value and present a vessel. We bring the operator's eye and the banker's discipline.
For yards carrying unsold stock, and for investors who now own yachting businesses, we provide operational reviews and practical recovery plans for the vessels and projects involved.
Disposal strategies for speculative and unsold hulls
Cash-flow and supplier-payment planning for yards and service firms
Operational reviews and 100-day plans for new owners
Client communication plans for delayed deliveries
In a dislocated market, value is lost in the gap between the people who finance yachts and the people who run them. We work in that gap.
Deposits are paid and the hull is half-built. We establish the real cost and time to complete, review your contractual protection with counsel, and give you a plan for every scenario — including completing elsewhere.
Fuel, insurance and crew costs have moved faster than the plan. We rebuild the numbers, benchmark every line and put a reporting rhythm in place that principals and family offices can trust.
Higher rates and softer values are testing covenants. We give lenders and borrowers an independent view of the asset, its condition and its realistic value — before positions harden.
In a buyer's market, the exit is engineered, not hoped for. We compare brokerage, auction, structured sale and charter-to-sell, prepare the asset and the paperwork, and work alongside your broker.
A confidential first conversation, with no obligation.
