The people who plan the fit

Installation planning, drawings, engineering works, on-site support and commissioning — Panoblu engineers alongside the yard and the crew. Scoped first, sized for the vessel in front of us, so the installation is designed before anyone lifts a tool.

What it is

Panoblu engineering, alongside the yard

Installation planning, drawings, engineering works, on-site support and commissioning — Panoblu engineers working alongside the yard and the crew. It is scoped first and sized for the vessel in front of us rather than sold as a package, because a straightforward single-mast motor yacht and a twin-mast sailing yacht are genuinely different projects.

  • Installation planning with the yard and the crew
  • CAD drawings for the mast and the cable route
  • Engineering works around the fit
  • On-site support and commissioning

Travel and accommodation are arranged separately, so where the vessel happens to be does not change the work itself.

How it is sized

Scope first, then days

The scope is the mast, the cable route, who does the engineering works, and what the vessel’s own integrator wants to take on. Days follow the scope, which is why two vessels of the same length can sit a day or two apart — and why the survey is what turns an estimate into a firm plan.

Before the yard Two days, typically

Planning: the arrangement, the cable route, CAD drawings and coordination with the yard, so the installation is designed before anyone lifts a tool.

On the vessel One day, typically

On-site support and commissioning, with a Panoblu engineer alongside the yard’s team and the crew who will use the system.

Survey day Credited to the project

A pre-sale vessel survey becomes the project’s first day of work once the installation proceeds. The vessel gets a measured, de-risked plan, and the time spent looking follows it into the build.

Three days is where most single-mast motor yachts land. It is an anchor rather than a package: sailing yachts, twin-mast layouts and dual installations carry more planning time, and those conversations are best started with a survey.

Also in this family

Development days, the same way

Two kinds of custom development, scoped and quoted like the installation days. Both are worth bringing engineering into early, because the interesting part is usually the vessel’s existing systems rather than ours.

Integration Ashore Public website integration

The vessel’s map and panoramas on a public site, built with the owner’s own web team — a favourite with charter programmes and yards who want the vessel visible ashore. Hosted arrangements are agreed per application.

Integration On board Onboard software integration

Development against the vessel’s own systems and screens, so the panorama appears where the crew already looks. Pairs with the navigation data module when the ship’s own data is part of the picture.

What to expect

An installation designed with you

These days exist so that the fit is planned rather than discovered. What they are, and what they are not, is worth setting out plainly.

Alongside the yard, not instead of it

Panoblu engineering works with the yard and the vessel’s integrator. The drawings and the plan belong to the project, so whoever does the work has what they need.

Sized per vessel

Days follow the scope once it is clear. Estimates are honest about being estimates until the survey lands, and then they firm up.

The survey earns its place

It settles the mast, the route and the arrangement, and it becomes the project’s first day once the work proceeds. It is the best hour anyone spends on the project.

Next step

Quoted per vessel, through partners

What this needs alongside it — the mounting kit, the installation days, the software — depends on your mast and your vessel. A Panoblu partner surveys it and quotes the components it actually needs. Tell us where you are, and we will introduce you to the right one.
