CAT Yacht Marine Propulsion Engines: Refit in Cannes
Our Application Department is widely respected for its expertise in specifying and replacing Caterpillar marine propulsion engines, the preferred choice for reliable and efficient yacht propulsion. Every CAT engine refit or upgrade is tailored to the individual vessel’s requirements, including layout, tonnage, and cruising profile.
The team handles the full lifecycle of the project: from design and engine selection to mechanical integration and commissioning. Whether replacing ageing propulsion units or installing the latest CAT engine technology, we ensure optimal performance, fuel efficiency, reduced emissions, and class-compliant installations.
Operating from Cannes, our team is ideally positioned to respond quickly to yachts undergoing refits across the Côte d’Azur and greater Mediterranean. Our ability to align with yard schedules and onboard constraints makes us the go-to choice for CAT engine replacements in the region.
Caterpillar Marine Power Generation with Generators for Yachts
In addition to propulsion systems, we deliver expertly engineered marine power generation solutions using Caterpillar generator sets. These are essential to maintaining stable onboard power for all yacht systems, from navigation and AV to HVAC and lighting.
Our factory-certified engineers handle the full integration of CAT generators as primary or backup power sources. Designed for quiet operation and energy efficiency, these generators are ideal for luxury yachts requiring low-vibration and space-efficient solutions.
Whether it’s a single unit swap or a complete overhaul of the yacht’s power system, our Application Department manages the entire scope, from removal to recommissioning, working closely with owners, captains, and shipyards to keep refit timelines on track.
All CAT generators are connected to the yacht’s power management systems, including load balancing, monitoring, and redundancy protocols, to ensure maximum reliability under real-world conditions.
