The story of 50m superyacht Tirea’s extensive refit

Nominated as a finalist for the best-refitted yacht category at the 2024 BOAT International World Superyacht Awards (WSA), MY TIREA was originally borne as Follow Me V and built as a 45.24 mt Motor Yacht in Spain by Factoria Naval De Marin (FNM). Delivered in 2011, with exterior lines by Reymond Langton Design and interiors by Spadolini Design Studio, she underwent a major exterior refit at NCA Refit that was completed in 2023.

Featuring a hull and aluminium superstructure engineered by Archimede Marine, the yacht is powered by two Caterpillar diesel engines, which enable it to reach a maximum speed of 15 knots and cruise comfortably at 12 knots. It can accommodate up to 10 guests in five staterooms, with eight crew members at their service. It has a gross tonnage of 490 GT and a beam of 9 meters.

The yacht refit included a 5 mt hull extension from 45 to 50 mt, exterior spaces and beach club layout modification by Isay Weinfeld Design Studio, and a complete repainting of the hull and superstructure.

We were entrusted with the pre-contract advisory and project management of the refit works. Working as the Owner’s Project Manager and Technical Representative, we proposed and assisted the owners in defining a detailed scope of work and negotiating the yacht refit contract with NCA Refit. Once the contract was signed, we managed the yacht refit project on the Owner’s behalf to ensure the works progressed smoothly according to the schedule and were delivered to the agreed quality standards.
