Motor Yacht V6, built by Flyghtship Construction, a renowned luxury yacht builder, has chosen Derecktor Fort Pierce as the destination for maintenance work. This strategic decision was made to ensure that the vessel receives top-notch service from skilled personnel and subcontractors, as well as to take advantage of unique capabilities offered at Derecktor Fort Pierce.
Captain Christoph Schaefer, a respected figure in the yachting industry, expressed his confidence in Derecktor Fort Pierce's expertise and facilities, citing their ability to fulfill all his requirements. Some of the scope of work include accommodating the removal of the Heila telescopic knuckle boom crane to be rebuilt on site and a complete repaint of the crane prior to re-installation. Also, the fabrication and machining of an array of specialty items, welding, and pipe work. Helipad improvements and NAIAD RIB repairs assistance was given along with general maintenance items.
One of the standout features that attracted Captain Schaefer to Derecktor Fort Pierce is the yard's unmatched advantage of permitting helicopter training and trials on-site, without the need to venture offshore. This remarkable option is made possible by the collaboration between Derecktor Fort Pierce and the Port Authority of Fort Pierce. By sharing offices, the two entities streamline procedures, resulting in a swift and hassle-free process for yacht owners and crew members alike.
