# Yacht systems

Balconies, beach clubs, hull and tender garage doors, passerelles and deck cranes: moving parts that open the yacht to the water and close flush when under way.

The problem

## Large openings, little space, no room for failure

A balcony or beach club turns a closed hull into living space at the water. The system has to fit inside a tight installation envelope, carry people safely, lock firmly in every position, close flush and stay watertight at sea.

Builders also need a supplier who can work on an existing hull, coordinate with the yard and the class society, and deliver on the build schedule.

Our approach

## Structure, drive and finish designed together

-   **Drive choice:** hydraulic, electro-hydraulic or fully electric, with local or remote control.
-   **Locking:** hydraulic locks and mechanical locks so the platform holds in position.
-   **Materials:** aluminium and lightweight composite structures, stainless steel locks.
-   **Emergency operation:** manual or DC back-up so the system can always be closed.
-   **Yard coordination and aftercare:** new builds and retrofits under class, with maintenance agreements after delivery.

FAQ

## Yacht systems: common questions

### Which yacht systems do you design and build?

Hydraulic and electric balconies and fold-out bulwark terraces, aft beach club and swim platforms, hull and tender garage doors, passerelles, boarding, access and swim ladders, deck cranes and lifting platforms, and custom composite structures.

### Hydraulic or electric?

Both, and electro-hydraulic. Each system can be built with hydraulic, electro-hydraulic or fully electric drives, with local or remote control.

### Can a balcony or beach club be added to an existing yacht?

Yes. On a 32 m motor yacht we added a beach club shell door and a master-cabin balcony by cutting the starboard hull together with the builder, under RINA class.

### Do you build in composite?

Yes. We design lightweight composite structures, covers and components; our fold-out balcony for a 24 m catamaran is a 2 × 2 m composite platform.

### Do you offer maintenance after delivery?

Yes. We offer maintenance agreements for yacht systems, with periodic service visits, oil and seal changes and spare parts.

### What happens if hydraulic power is lost?

Emergency operation is part of the design. On the 32 m motor yacht, a hand valve and a DC motor allow both systems to be operated without the main power unit.
