HUMAN KEY
MARITIME
Ship & Yacht Management · Based in Istanbul · Across Türkiye
One key.
Every vessel.
One point of responsibility for your yacht: captain, maintenance, repairs, insurance follow-up, safety equipment and permits. You simply enjoy it.
Managed and maintained.
By one team.
You do not chase separate contractors for every job. Yacht management and technical work run through the same team, and everything sits in one record.
Why owners come to us
Owning a yacht,
without the usual headaches.
We solve all four with one responsibility: our own captains and technical team, maintenance on a calendar, one point of contact and a written record of every job.
Good crew is hard to keep
Reliable captains and technicians move on quickly, and what they knew about the yacht leaves with them.
Maintenance waits for a breakdown
On most yachts no one owns the engine hours, filters, impellers and anodes. Work starts when something fails.
Everyone works separately
Captain, mechanic, marina, insurer and yard each do their part. When a job falls between them, no one answers for it.
Nothing is written down
What was done, when, and who was paid is rarely on record. It costs dearly at survey, at claim time or when the yacht is sold.
Full management
Everything about your yacht, under one key.
Owning a yacht should not mean managing one. Who is on board, who hauled her out, who fixed what and who stands behind the warranty, when the engines are due, when the extinguishers expire. We carry all of it, and you get one clear answer every week.
Captain visits
Our captains check your yacht on regular visits, in summer and in winter.
Checks on every visit
A structured checklist on every visit, photographed and recorded.
Planned maintenance
Service plans driven by engine hours and the calendar, not by breakdowns.
Repairs & warranties
Every job tracked from report to completion, with the warranty behind it.
Engine service
Oil, filters, impellers, belts and drives, on schedule.
Insurance follow-up
Renewals, surveys and claims followed for you.
Safety equipment
Life jackets, extinguishers, flares and radios, with every expiry date watched.
Permits & documents
Registration, permits and certificates kept valid and on file.
You simply enjoy it.
Technical team
Engineering depth,
on call.
Our technical team has years of experience on engines of different makes and on electrical and electronic systems. It includes MTU-certified technicians who have serviced superyacht propulsion and onboard systems. Every yacht we manage gets the same standard of care, whatever her size.
Weekly report
Your yacht, in one report.
Every week you receive a clear report: checks carried out, issues opened and closed, maintenance due and expenses by category. No chasing, no guesswork.

Maintenance on plan

Report every week
You see what was done, what is open and what it cost, in one clear report.
An owner line that is always answered.
