Auton Yachts
Auton Yachts manages the entire lifecycle of expedition support yacht conversions, acting as a single point of contact from initial donor vessel acquisition through design, engineering, and final delivery. This integrated approach replaces the fragmented network of brokers, architects, and shipyards that typically complicates such projects.
Backed by over 255 years of combined experience within the OCCAM Group, the company compresses the timeline from sourcing a vessel to delivery down to 20 months.
The process begins with technical surveys and purchasing. Once a vessel is acquired, the company handles naval architecture, interior design, and systems engineering, providing full shipyard management up to handover. Sea trials, crew placement, and flag state compliance are all managed internally. The yacht leaves the yard fully operational and ready for immediate deployment.
