The Problem
Superyachts in the 400GT+ range face the same regulatory requirements as large commercial vessels, but rarely have the shore-based management infrastructure to produce the documentation.
The options are typically an expensive consultancy engagement or weeks of work by officers who should be running the vessel, often resulting in documents that don't meet inspection standards.
The Solution
Superyacht Docs provides survey-ready templates that you can customise for your vessel in hours, not weeks. Every document is structured exactly how flag state administrations and class surveyors expect to see it.
Each template comes with a companion guide explaining what to customise and why, quick reference cards for daily use, and the official regulation PDF — everything your crew needs to implement and maintain the document.
Our Expertise
Every template is developed by experienced maritime professionals with direct survey and inspection experience.
Operational Experience
Over a decade of service on superyachts from 40m to 80m+, creating MARPOL documentation, safety management systems, and operational procedures from scratch.
Class & Survey
Direct experience with Lloyd's Register, Bureau Veritas, and RINA class surveys. These templates reflect what actually passes inspection — not generic interpretations.
Flag State Knowledge
Experience across Cayman Islands, Marshall Islands, Red Ensign Group, and Malta flags. Our team understands what each administration requires for compliance approval.
Our Approach
Every template is built around three principles that ensure your documentation works in the real world.
Regulatory Compliance
Designed to satisfy the specific IMO resolution, MARPOL annex, or convention that governs the document. Structured exactly how flag state administrations and surveyors expect to see it.
Practical Implementation
Written for officers and engineers who need to use the document, not just file it. Clear procedures, logical structure, and realistic expectations for vessel-specific customisation.
Long-Term Maintenance
Templates are updated when regulations change, and purchasers receive revised versions at no additional cost. Your compliance documentation stays current.
Flag State Alignment
All templates are designed to meet the requirements of major flag state administrations. No separate flag-state versions required.
