Shipbuilding Has Changed — But Most Production Workflows Haven’t
In the superyacht industry, technology has revolutionized navigation, engineering, and onboard experiences — yet, behind the scenes at many shipyards, production tracking is still run through Excel sheets, Dropbox folders, email threads, and outdated desktop software.
Missed deadlines, unclear variation orders, frustrating client updates, last-minute document scrambles, and too much time spent chasing clarity instead of building excellence.
At Aquator Marine, we believe the production process should reflect the innovation and prestige of the yachts being delivered. That’s why we built a dedicated Yacht Production module designed specifically for shipyards and new build projects.
Everything You Need to Manage a Yacht Build — In One Place
From contract to keel laying, from engine installation to interior fitout, and from testing to warranty delivery — we help shipyards manage every step with structure, automation, and total visibility.
Here’s how:
1. Milestone Planning & Project Timeline Management
Visualize and track key build stages — all in one dashboard.
⚙️ Keel laying
⚙️ Tank testing
⚙️ Machinery installation
⚙️ Interior joinery
⚙️ Sea trials
⚙️ Class inspections
⚙️ Owner handover
Every milestone is linked to documentation, due dates, and responsible parties. No more chasing teams for updates.
2. Variation Orders & Change Tracking
New owner request? Engineering deviation?
We let you log and manage changes — with automatic cost adjustments, approvals, and reporting. It’s all transparent and client-facing when needed.
3. Real-Time Client Reporting
Give owners and project managers tailored access to real-time dashboards or branded PDF reports. Keep them informed without 15 email threads or a weekly phone call.
4. Compliance & Class Readiness
Built-in checklists aligned with Class and Flag requirements ensure that nothing is missed — from welding certifications to MLC compliance. Each item can be signed off digitally, with attachments and timestamped actions.
5. Document Management Done Right
Upload designs, engineering specs, system manuals, inspection records, and test results — all organized by category and searchable. Forget rummaging through folders or shared drives.

Built with the Shipyards in Mind
We’ve worked directly with shipbuilders, project managers, and engineers to make this module practical, intuitive, and flexible.
Whether you're delivering your 5th yacht or your 50th, Aquator gives you the control and oversight that legacy tools can’t.
Yacht production is a high-stakes process involving complex machinery, luxury design, stringent compliance, and high expectations. Trying to manage it all on spreadsheets is like navigating with a sextant in the age of GPS.
It’s time for better tools.
It’s time to modernize the build process — and wow your clients while doing it.
