VESSEL OPERATING PROCEDURE BOOKLETS
We are excited to be part of the luxury market once again with most of our current works reflecting just that, and verified by our recent appointment to offer consulting services on a 56m (184ft) luxury motor yacht based in London.
RTM has recently been appointed as a service point for the Ferretti Group in Australia. The Ferretti Group’s exclusive portfolio consists of some of the most prestigious brands in the world, including Ferretti Yachts, Pershing, Itama, Riva, CRN, Custom Line & Wally. The Ferretti Group and their clients expect the highest standards in terms of support, of which the Ferretti Group have absolute confidence in RTM, and we look forward to continuing our services into the future.
As an onsite service provider at The Boat Works, who were recently awarded the 5 Gold Anchor & Superyacht Ready certifications, RTM are your perfect partners when considering all marine professional services within your yard period.
Over the past 25 years, RTM has forged sound relationships with many professional industry colleagues and can assemble and manage a project team to conduct all required works within your refit or maintenance period. By having your yard period aligned prior to your arrival, RTM can offer assurance of project timelines and budgets.
Recent projects have seen RTM involved in the set up, then handing over to the crew, and taking an assistant role. Alternatively, we can set up the project and assist the crew throughout works or take on full project management responsibilities for our clients.
In late October 2023, RTM will be attending the Fort Lauderdale International Boat Show and connecting with our international colleagues. If you are considering purchasing a vessel from the USA, reach out to RTM to discuss our consulting services.
RTM, owned and operated by marine professionals Rod and Renee Twitchin, specialises in delivering the highest quality marine surveys and professional services. Our expertise extends to vessels of all types and sizes, from smaller boats to larger superyachts.
The marine industry has been business owner Rod Twitchin’s main working platform since his apprenticeship in 1984. Rod’s first formal accreditation was in 1993 to skipper smaller vessels, then Engineer, Ships Master, & Commercial Surveyor. He also has a Certification in Vessel Valuations, a Trade Certificate in Mechanics, Open Water Diver, and shore-based positions as general manager and project manager of large refit & repair companies, make him perfect for just about any job that involves handling, inspecting, or repairing vessels.
