The Refit Market: Metstrade 2025 to focus on innovation and knowledge within the refit sector

As <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/209" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Pendennis Shipyard Ltd (Company)">Pendennis Falmouth</a> enters a new phase of growth and investment, SuperYacht Times sits down with Charlie Ross, Director of Operations, to discuss current activity at the yard, future plans, and how the company continues to blend craftsmanship with technological innovation. &nbsp;Having joined the business almost 20 years ago as an ex-Lloyd's surveyor, Charlie has worked throughout the company’s spectrum of operations, from refit project management to new-builds. He is now bringing his broad collective experience to the management of the Falmouth facility, working closely with the <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/2873" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Pendennis Vilanova (Company)">Vilanova</a> facility and partners at both <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/5735" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Cockwells (Company)">Cockwells</a> and <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/8215" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Norfolk Interiors (Company)">Norfolk Interiors</a>.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/360143/image/large-3d0e289de973e834b3f34e6ff3850edf.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/360143"> Are there strategic or physical developments on the horizon?&nbsp;The most recent development has been the reorganising of our management structure, which allows us to focus more effectively moving forward. My role centres on Falmouth, ensuring clear ownership and direction. Stephen Hills can now focus on the Group’s commercial activities and Toby Allies on client engagement. We’re planning both in five-year and 15-year horizons – not just business goals, but also how we’re perceived by the community and the industry as a whole.&nbsp;We are also making physical amendments to the yard in Falmouth and have secured planning permission to raise the roof on part of the dry dock, which will allow larger vessels with more air draft to enter. We’re also extending Hall 3 – where <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Yacht/6289" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Fox34.86m (114'4&quot;)Pendennis Shipyard Ltd2024">Fox</a> was built – by 40 metres, adding capacity, workshops, and new technology. Currently we can handle a single 75 metre and a 50 metre yacht simultaneously. The dry dock upgrade will allow us to accommodate two 75 metre yachts simultaneously, meeting current, and hopefully future demand for our services. <img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/325968/image/large-1443b1fbe4f1427100735cb56f5e73de.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/325968">Following the delivery of the 34.86-metre&nbsp;<a data-gid="gid://syiq/Yacht/6289" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Fox34.86m (114'4&quot;)Pendennis Shipyard Ltd2024">Fox</a>&nbsp;last year, has there been a shift in perception of&nbsp;<a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/2873" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Pendennis Vilanova (Company)">Pendennis</a>&nbsp;as a new-build facility as well as refit?&nbsp;Definitely.

The final yacht has been extremely well received, and we are certainly open to more new-builds, though we do not have plans to transition into a solely new-build yard. &nbsp;<a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/209" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Pendennis Shipyard Ltd (Company)">Pendennis Falmouth</a> is a full-service shipyard, and we employ all of our staff directly which gives us excellent control over timelines and quality.

Our long-serving team means many of the people who worked on a yacht years ago are still here for its next visit, and the lessons learned from refits directly inform our new-build practices, which I think makes it a very solid combined offering. <img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/360146/image/large-1b3d0f93fb14ef19b9957d6841a91d7b.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/360146"><a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/209" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Pendennis Shipyard Ltd (Company)">Pendennis Falmouth</a>&nbsp;has made significant investments in technology, could you elaborate on that with some specifics?&nbsp;In the first instance with <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Yacht/6289" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Fox34.86m (114'4&quot;)Pendennis Shipyard Ltd2024">Fox</a>, we used our 3D scanning capability to capture the built structural environment accurately so that we could then allocate the net space to systems engineering and allow the modelling of the interior carpentry and cabinetry to be developed in the envelope. Further to this to improve production efficiency and quality we elected not to use drawings but had the live digital models on iPad for the production teams to use for installation. This was a first step, next time I can see this being further augmented in some way to further improve the outcomes.&nbsp;At <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/209" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Pendennis Shipyard Ltd (Company)">Pendennis</a> we’re always looking to improve our facilities and services, and our most recent technological development has been the opening of a new Digital Manufacturing Centre (DMC) on-site in Falmouth. The DMC extends our current capability with additional CNC cutting, profiling and machining equipment to fully leverage our existing 3D scanning and design capability.&nbsp;On-site we have a CNC water cutting machine capable of cutting almost any material 200 mm thick, 4-metres long by 2-metres wide. We can also tap holes and mark parts if required. <img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/360149/image/large-350d90b6559d884eb6b7bd6a9db2db94.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/360149">How has the integration of&nbsp;<a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/8215" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Norfolk Interiors (Company)">Norfolk Interiors</a>&nbsp;and&nbsp;<a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/5735" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Cockwells (Company)">Cockwells</a>&nbsp;within the&nbsp;<a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/209" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Pendennis Shipyard Ltd (Company)">Pendennis</a>&nbsp;portfolio benefited your clients and developed the offering?&nbsp;With the additions of <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/8215" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Norfolk Interiors (Company)">Norfolk Interiors</a> and <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/5735" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Cockwells (Company)">Cockwells</a> our clients can benefit from the increased capabilities and experience that each subsidiary brings, whether it's designing and building bespoke interiors or offering high quality custom tenders.

Is that still the case?&nbsp;Absolutely. As a full-service yard, the trade mix needs to fit. Long-term projects allow us to manage resources efficiently while also handling shorter refits. It means our technical and design specialists can contribute real value across the board.&nbsp;We’re not an out-and-out new build yard, nor just a quick refit stop. Clients come to us for technically challenging projects or tight timelines. We aim to deliver Northern European standards but with a more tailored service and continuity through facilities like <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/2873" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Pendennis Vilanova (Company)">Vilanova</a>.&nbsp;We operate year-round, and the maritime tradition here means people love working at <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/209" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Pendennis Shipyard Ltd (Company)">Pendennis</a>.

Our average workforce age is around 37, thanks to ongoing apprenticeships. But we also have veterans who’ve been here since day one – there’s a wealth of knowledge, around 6 million man-hours. We recently repaired a timber sailing yacht’s hull using techniques mastered over decades. That continuity and expertise defines us. <img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/360148/image/large-f798fc5a55378e2e50c5da13b3addf96.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/360148">Finally, what do you see as your biggest challenge in leading Falmouth?&nbsp;A major focus is keeping skills development attractive to young people. We had over 300 attendees at our apprentice evening and 108 applicants for about 20 places – that’s promising. But we must ensure there are clear pathways into management or technical roles. We recently launched a digital manufacturing centre, grouping CNC and profiling tools with 3D scanning and other innovations. And of course, sustainability is a key challenge. We've hired a transformational lead to drive this agenda – it’s the start of a critical journey for the company.&nbsp;

Pendennis Shipyard acquires majority stake in Cockwells Modern & Classic Boatbuilding

Pendennis Shipyard has acquired a majority interest in Cockwells Modern & Classic Boatbuilding.

This year a new superyacht has joined the global charter fleet and at 112-metres, <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Yacht/7970" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Renaissance111.85m (366'12&quot;)Freire Shipyard2023">Renaissance</a> is set to be the largest yacht available for international charter. Able to sleep up to 36 guests and with six spectacular decks, she offers something completely unique to the market. SuperYacht Times’ Editor-in-Chief was recently invited for a tour of the spectacular vessel before she began her first charter season in the Med this summer. &nbsp;<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/315190/image/large-bc03ce2efd2c241b985f50f050c47221.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/315190">Not only is <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Yacht/7970" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Renaissance111.85m (366'12&quot;)Freire Shipyard2023">Renaissance</a> the flagship of the Spanish shipyard <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/1732" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Freire Shipyard (Company)">Freire</a>, she is also the largest superyacht ever to have come out of the country. Built for a discerning owner with the goal to create something new for the global charter market, but also to be a yacht for personal use, her interior strikes an impressive balance between comfort and space. At over 7,000 GT, she cuts a formidable figure, but her designers <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/17" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Bannenberg & Rowell Design (Company)">Bannenberg &amp; Rowell</a> have done an impressive job of creating unique, ambient spaces onboard that guests are able to easily relax into.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/315113/image/large-f3ffd76647ad6c1a586fc3324788f8b7.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/315113">Her main saloon is a perfect example of this clever use of space. The saloon features a 5.7-metre ceiling height that creates an air of unrestricted freedom, akin to the lofty ceilings of majestic palaces or stately mansions. Yet despite the saloon being one of the largest in the global fleet, the design team have implemented clever motifs to offer guests unique spaces within the saloon.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/315187/image/large-8a178966783b0441ee652c8423577f73.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/315187"><img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/315135/image/large-23974ed9c5aba5c1f7e6e34a5912f9ea.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/315135">Along the centreline, the saloon is partially divided by a glass mezzanine that separates the saloon to starboard and the dining area to port. This is accentuated by the use of rotating central panels on the main deck level that can either be opened or closed, depending on the guests' use of the saloon.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/315120/image/large-66422dcd508444bcc78850a30039a263.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/315120">This open-plan main saloon allows for a smooth integration of living and entertainment spaces and flows seamlessly from her spacious aft deck to formal dining area.
