About the company

Virtual ETO’s offers one of the most comprehensive and customised technical solutions in the industry. Our team of experienced AVIT and ETO technicians come from a pool of current and ex yacht crew that have spent decades as AVIT engineers and IT officers. We know first hand, the levels of expectation and pressure that the IT, communications and entertainment systems come under from owners and guests who have high expectations for reliability and stability. We're dedicated to providing best-in-class, proactive monitoring for your onboard systems, taking the time each day to ensure internet WAN speeds are their most efficient, guest AV systems are operational, performing planned maintainence and managing 3rd party contractors, just as an onboard crew member would do.

In contrast to other support companies, we have first hand experience of the difficulties and stresses placed upon crew to ensure stability of systems, in an age where a dependable internet connection is key to everything. We know what industry standard hardware is acceptable for installation, when and why you might need redundant systems, years of tried and tested solutions that are known to work not just only in a maritime environment, but look the part onboard a yacht.

Our experienced new build and refit consultancy for yachts involves anything from design specification requirements to complete project management. We're ideally placed to project manage 3rd party contractors, liase with owners teams and collaborate with shipyards to ensure projects run smoothly, on-budget and with minimal unexpected delays. Using our Prince2 accreditation project management expertise, we're able to oversee complex build projects from start to finish with seamless continuity that rotation engineers might not have the benefit of.

What we do

Our state-of-the art services offer peace of mind that efficiency and performance will never be compromised due to lack of resources or personnel availability. We know that many AVIT systems are dropped onto the engineering department when so many of todays systems require in depth IT backgrounds. With Virtual ETO's taking the pressure off onboard crew, we allow you more time to concentrate on planned maintenance, engineering systems, owners or charter guests. We help your yacht run smoothly and efficiently, even when there is not enough space onboard for an AVIT specialist.

Consultancy

My career in yachting started with a background in IT security and penetration testing after completing a BSc degree in Computer Science in Leeds, UK. Now based in the Virtual ETO's offices in West London, I've been an AVIT officer since 2012, working on a range of motor yachts ranging from 50 - 120 meters as both operational crew and as build consultant.

My experience working on some of the worlds most prestigious yachts has been an invaluable source of learning. I'm proud to have established a respected professional image within the industry, earning credibility from prestigious clientele.

Virtual ETO's is revolutionising the new build and refit consultancy process by taking decades of on-board knowledge to create a modern, tech savvy approach tailored specifically for yachts and their crew. By daring to think differently about future possibilities, we are creating entirely new horizons in yacht services and remote operations.
