And, for sure, if you’ve spent 100 million euros on your megayacht, you’ll not want old hat AV.
So what do the leading experts see as the main challenges facing the industry? David Leone is President of Voyager Maritime Alliance Group (VMAG), a full service marine technology company based in Fort Lauderdale. “Yachts are challenging for both engineering and installation, for several reasons. One is usually the timeline and having to work around other trades in very confined

spaces. Unlike a residential install, yachts are not stationary, they are going to leave the dock and we have to meet the deadlines. This is exactly the reason we devised a consistent, repeatable method, both in our engineering and programming. For every install, we have a clear plan and exit strategy to complete it on time. We also offer full technical support via remote connection to the ship’s network.”
Phillip Pini is Head of Residential EMEA for control and automation experts Crestron, a company VMAG happily partners, “Alongside product innovation, we have
focused our efforts on developing partnerships with like-minded brands - we are only as good as the systems we sit alongside and fully integrate with. Crestron is committed to finding and working with technology partners to ensure what is paired with Crestron works with Crestron. As we do not install, we mainly hear of hurdles on
projects through our amazing network, notable ones include: rack location - where to put the equipment on smaller vessels, weight - how much does all this

When it comes to new builds, they can spend three years in the shipyard before they hit the water so the most sensible course of action is to run an initial network of cabling through the yacht and decide on the hardware towards the end of the build. Who knows what game changing inventions could flood an ever evolving tech market in the intervening 36 months?
equipment weigh, power - how much does it all consume, and serviceability - what happens if something goes wrong.”
Sara Stimilli, Communications and Marketing Director for Italian onboard entertainment specialists Videoworks,
says, “For
Videoworks, it’s very important to define the AV system at the beginning of the construction stage because dialogue with the owner, architect and the shipyard is crucial to achieving

a top integration based on the real needs of the owner.”
