The Team
A dedicated on-site team for your full custom yacht
Alia Yacht Builders directly employs a team of around 300 fully qualified, highly skilled engineers, craftspeople and other professionals. As our client, you will be dealing with organised, intelligent people who are open to ideas, eager to learn and given a great deal of autonomy.
Our trusted subcontractors are an extension of our own team. We’ve worked with them for many years, so you can be confident they understand and share our values. We carefully select the relevant subcontractors according to your project’s specific requirements. They then work entirely on-site at our shipyard, giving us complete control over quality and process management standards.
Design & Engineering
Through our in-house design and engineering capabilities, we bring your yacht to life on paper. From your designer’s concept and architect’s plans, our expert team will produce workshop drawings for pipework, electrics, ducting, cabling, penetrations – the million-and-one practical details that make up the intricate, often invisible but vital systems your yacht requires to function.
Construction
All Alia yachts are constructed entirely on-site and under cover by a team of in-house specialists supported by experienced, trusted subcontractors and a dedicated project manager. Working in steel, aluminium and advanced composite materials, we undertake fabrication, assembly and advance outfitting, all to the highest quality standards.
Interiors
The interior has the biggest potential impact on a yacht build’s overall cost and timing – and the boat’s overall quality will often be judged on the materials, fit and finish. At Alia Yacht Builders, we have our own in-house interiors company, ensuring design, manufacture and installation are seamlessly coordinated with the shipyard to keep the project on budget and on schedule.
Project Management
Every Alia yacht is assigner a dedicated project manager, who will oversee the entire build from start to finish. All our project managers are highly experienced, many having risen through the ranks here at Alia Yacht Builders. They’re responsible for monitoring costs, timing and quality at every stage, and day-to-day liaison with the owner’s technical team.
Management & Administration
As well as a dedicated project manager, Alia Yacht Builders customers have direct access to our senior management. Many of our top team have been with us since our inception in 2008; and with backgrounds in yacht-building, they’re practical, hands-on people who are always happy to discuss technical issues as well as contractual, financial and other business-related matters.
Quality Control
Quality control is embedded in our business. Every function is responsible for maintaining our exacting standards in its individual operations; but they’re also supported by our dedicated quality control department. This specialist team oversees our procedures, processes, documentation and international accreditations, such as ISO certification, ensuring consistency and rigour on a company-wide basis.
Undertaking and managing the entire build process in-house gives us full control over quality, materials, methods, timings and budgets. As our customer, you benefit from knowing your project is in safe, capable hands from concept to completion.
