Fort Lauderdale Firm Reveals How Yacht Owners Can Stay on Budget During Shipyard Refits

FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. - EntSun -- Fort Lauderdale, Florida

St. Clair Superyachts has launched Part 2 of its acclaimed "Financially Capsized" series, exposing how even experienced yacht owners can lose financial control during shipyard refit and maintenance projects.

This new article, titled "How to Keep Your Yacht Shipyard Project on Budget Without Losing Clarity or Control," offers a clear, step-by-step roadmap to prevent cost overruns, miscommunication, and project drift.

Founder and former yacht engineer turned captain, turned yacht brokerage owner Kevin St. Clair draws from decades of experience in the Fort Lauderdale superyacht ecosystem to identify five "Invisible Drift Dynamics" that quietly sink budgets:

• Scope ambiguity
• Milestone confusion
• Progress blindness
• Change-order fog
• Oversight fatigue

"One of the biggest blind spots is assuming verbal communications carry the weight of written agreements," said Kevin St. Clair. "When clarity slips, financial control slips with it. This isn't about bad actors or conspiracies. It's about how projects drift when oversight becomes passive instead of structured."
