Policy
Build, delivery & terms
Ten to sixteen weeks from order to launch, then delivery on a cradle by road, container or RoRo. Here is how it works and what it costs.
Ordering
A build starts with a signed specification and a 30% deposit. The specification sets out plate thickness, layout, power, finish and delivery date; once both sides have signed it, changes are priced individually rather than absorbed.
The balance is due before the boat leaves the yard. For export orders we can work with a letter of credit, and we will provide the documentation your bank needs before you commit.
Build time
Ten to sixteen weeks from order, depending on size and survey requirements. Surveyed patrol and passenger hulls take the longer end because the documentation and the inspection points add time that cannot be compressed.
We give you a launch date in writing at order and we update you every two weeks with photographs. If we slip, we tell you the week we know, not the week before launch.
Delivery
Inside China and Asia, boats travel by road on a purpose-built cradle, which we design and build with the hull. To the Gulf, Africa, Europe and the Americas we ship by container for boats under 9 m, and by RoRo for larger hulls, from Shanghai.
Cradles, lashing and loading are included in the delivery quote. Import duty, VAT and port handling are the buyer’s responsibility, and we will give you the HS code and the documentation your agent needs.
Warranty
The hull structure carries a five-year warranty against defective welding and material. Engines, electronics and paint systems carry their manufacturer’s warranty, which we register for you and administer with the supplier.
Wear items — anodes, keel strips, seals, non-slip coatings — are not covered, because they are designed to be replaced. We keep them in stock and ship them at cost to any owner of one of our hulls.
