The superyacht sector has been calling on SeaKing’s specialist electrical marine engineering expertise to deliver a broad variety of projects on vessels ranging from 34m to 68m across the Mediterranean. SeaKing has developed relationships with several yacht management companies and we are now seeing an increase in demand in the high-end superyacht market which we put down to our technical knowledge and troubleshooting ability alongside our flexibility and quick response. The firm has been contracted on a number of occasions in recent months to carry out inspections, audits and repair of numerous faulty or inefficient equipment on jobs across the Mediterranean including Spain, Italy, the South of France and the Greek Islands,
