New Build · Specification Stage
Carbon fibre boarding, tender, swim and access equipment — engineered into the vessel alongside the naval architect, designer and shipyard.
Concept · GA · Detail design
C-Quip works with naval architects, designers, shipyards, project managers and owner's representatives from the earliest stages of a new build — so equipment is designed into the vessel, not fitted around it.
Specified, not retrofitted
Boarding, tender and access equipment define how a yacht is used every day — how guests come aboard, how tenders are handled, how the crew work the vessel. When these systems are considered at the specification stage, they become part of the geometry rather than a constraint bolted on later. Early engagement lets us coordinate on:
Equipment to specify
Product families that can be specified into the GA and detail design — or fully bespoke systems developed alongside the design team from concept.
Self-levelling carbon fibre boarding integrated into the shell door and side profile.
Carbon structure with an inflatable cushioning system — protection specified into the tender programme.
Hydraulic telescopic booms integrated into the superstructure and hull design.
Hydraulic swim platform access engineered into the aft geometry.
Lightweight stackable carbon ladders specified to class and flag requirements.
Telescopic masts specified into the deck layout and heli-operations plan.
Bespoke
Our in-house team develops custom carbon fibre equipment alongside the design office — concept, FEA, class approval, manufacture, testing and delivery to the yard.
From concept to commissioning
Hover to explore
Step 01 of 05
We join the conversation at concept stage — reviewing the GA, tender programme and cruising profile with the design team, and confirming what is feasible in carbon.
Facilities
Both sites are equipped with advanced tooling, autoclave and clean room capabilities, and backed by expert technicians — the engines of our innovation.
New Zealand
In operation for over 20 years and the site of countless builds across marine and aerospace. Home to our composite engineers and production specialists — where ideas are brought to life and performance is built into every layer. Now focused on custom and technical builds, allowing faster prototyping and greater flexibility for our most complex projects.
Philippines
Purpose-built for efficiency and high-quality production of our standard products. Working closely with the Auckland team, the Clark site ensures consistency across every component while enabling greater capacity for current and future demand across marine, aerospace and motorsport.
Why C-Quip
C-Quip equipment is specified by the shipyards, designers and naval architects behind the most respected new builds in the industry.
Working with the design office and shipyard from the earliest stages — before the specification is fixed.
Coordinated with GA, hull, shell doors and interior — not fitted around a finished exterior.
SOLAS, ISO 799 and flag documentation prepared alongside the technical package.
Concept, FEA, tooling, manufacture, assembly and testing within our specialist team.
Delivery scheduled to the yard's milestones — no delays to launch or sea trials.
Trusted by industry leaders
