How to use this guide
Use this page as a focused guide to companies connected with this service area. Review each provider profile, check service scope, location, verification status and source notes, then contact the provider directly where appropriate.
Superyacht Guide listings are editorial directory entries. They are not technical approval, class approval, legal advice or a guarantee of suitability for a particular yacht, owner or itinerary.
For directory purposes, Classification can include surveying, inspection, certification, classification, compliance, safety, security, claims and assurance services where relevant. Capabilities vary by provider, so review individual company profiles and confirm the exact products or services available.
A yacht may need Classification when checking yacht condition, satisfying regulatory or class requirements, managing risk or obtaining specialist independent assessment. Requirements vary by yacht type, location, project stage and operating profile, so suitability should be confirmed directly with the provider.
Use the directory to compare Classification providers by country, city and recorded operating region. Service coverage may be local, regional or international depending on the individual company.
Classification is an editorial Superyacht Guide directory classification based on the services recorded for each company. Inclusion does not constitute certification, endorsement or a paid rating; current capabilities should be confirmed directly with the provider.
