About Vortec

"I have used Vortec Marine to maintain and service my new Oyster 56 since its build in mid 2006. Ross has done an outstanding job and I am totally confident that the yacht is as good, if not better, than when she left the yard. The service is first class and very flexible. I give Vortec Marine my full trust in maintaining Wildcard and highly recommend the service - which is much more cost efficient and buys more expertise than paying for a full time skipper."

About Vortec

Vortec Marine Ltd was founded in August 2006 by Ross Collingwood.

The company was formed to provide stress free ownership of luxury yachts where the client would prefer not to employ full time crew. Yachts require a huge amount of maintenance and attention not only to keep them operating smoothly but more importantly for safety! The nature of yacht ownership also means that yachts rarely stay in the same port for long. Vortec Marine Ltd aims to alleviate the constant stress of finding new guardians and service agents. Staff will fly to any location in Europe and undertake all the maintenance, from engine servicing to rig checks. This is also paramount to keeping the Oyster maintenance log up to date and validating Oyster Warranty!

Vortec Marine Ltd records all checks and maintenance work undertaken on a vessel in a database, providing the vessel with a full Professional Service History! With a car, a full service history increases re-sale value, yachts are considerably more expensive and complex and it makes sense that your yacht should have a full service history to maintain its value as well as for safety reasons!
