As part of the Targa 47 refit project, we remodelled the helm.

From a complete new instrument layout, to new dash panels incorporating the latest state of the art navigation technology, new VHF and a complete respray of the consol – we have significantly modernised the helm rivalling that of a new factory build.

There has never before been a qualified service comparable to that which we offer at Setag: total renovation and refurbishment of your yacht from start to finish.

We provide a beautiful level of service, offering luxury to the pre-owned market – ensuring that you are in control of your yachts refit at every stage. Nothing is too much trouble. There is no such thing as asking too much for your refurbishment: we will go above and beyond to achieve whatever it is that you wish and need.

From initial conversations with us, right through to the end handover – our attention to detail is paramount. For us, luxury isn’t just something you buy off the shelf: and we are here to help to deliver it… redefined, refitted and remastered.

Going the extra mile.

As part of our Exceptional service, we can skipper your yacht for delivery to our HQ in Plymouth and return it back to you fully Remastered –  eliminating any stress involved in trying to find the perfect time for your refit.

You experience a personal one to one holistic design service from some of the best designers in the industry. Along with having complete access to over 200′ combined years of technical knowledge and experience.

Additionally, we include a full interior and exterior valeting service for your yacht before she is returned back to you.

 

We keep you updated throughout the entire project with regular progress photos and presentations. Of course, you are welcome to visit your yacht in build to witness the transformation take place.

We are very proud of our work and wish to share our Remastered projects, so professional video and photography is usually scheduled before or on handover day – to capture real time reactions from the owners (if approved beforehand). These images will be used by Setag but are also sent to the owners for their own usage.

We believe that true luxury lies in a service that allows you to commission bespoke products that are tailored to your exact requirements – work with us to create the yacht that you have always dreamt of.

We are pleased to announce our expansion to office spaces at Queen Anne’s Marina in Plymouth, where we would be delighted to welcome any current or future customers – or indeed anybody wishing to explore a Design and Refit project.

Chris Gates, Setag CEO spoke to MDL about our recent move – “The relocation to QAB marina is a strategic move to ensure SETAG continues to go from strength to strength, benefitting from the increased proximity to its supply chain.

“Our professional team’s collective skills and experience come from many years building luxury motor yachts in Plymouth,” says Chris. “We specifically looked at where we would be best located in Plymouth, with regards to our suppliers and other marine business services.”

Tim Mayer, Sales and Marketing Director of MDL comments: “We’re truly delighted to welcome Setag Yachts as a tenant at our Queen Anne’s Battery marina. As a business, its core values with regards to the environment align so well with our own.”

With SETAG, you can make a huge difference when you buy something secondhand, maybe a bit tired and then you put all of this beauty in it and you create what effectively is a brand new boat. Completely to your own liking, your own standard...creating the perfect boat for us.

Brilliant concept...new boat look and feel at pre-owned prices - by the industry experts. Recycling at its best!
Briony Newington - Founding Partner, Fairline Yachts.
The great thing is, none of this is off the shelf - I love this boat and now she’s got her frock on...this is the best money I've spent.

If you want to redefine, refit and remaster your boat who better to do it than the people who designed it in the first place? "What a fantastic idea!"
Miles Morehouse – Marketing Director, Fairline
We cannot recommend the SETAG team highly enough. If you love your current boat, then for a fraction of the cost to change it, have it SETAG’d. The SY branding certainly helped us obtain a premium price. We got what we paid for her in 2017 plus what we spent with you!
Delighted SETAG customer - Targa 50GT owner
I have worked with Chris for over 30 years and I’m pleased to see him develop his own brand - along with likeminded people with industry-leading expertise. The future is bright for Setag Yachts and pre-owned yacht owners, who can now refurbish their vessels to today’s - or even tomorrow's standards.
David King - Founder, Princess Yachts.
That has been one of the key selling points for us – having that personalised service and having a boat that is unique to us – is standout in its own right. We are pretty blown away…very very pleased. I think it’s fabulous…it has transformed the boat.

The perfect way to open up a new market: the "true reflection of luxury". Setag gets it: simplicity and personalisation are key – with the depth of knowledge to deliver.
James Barke – Managing Director of Boats.co.uk
Setag are probably the only company who can carry out all the tasks as a ‘one stop shop’. Other yards were reluctant to price work and needed to subcontract many tasks meaning higher costs and longer lead times. If you are in any doubt speak to Chris and his team, they know boats like no one else.

We have been waiting for this quality of service: a comprehensive, professional refit that we can rely on – because of the pedigree of its staff, with over 200 years' experience in our market.
