Kiwi innovation and ingenuity delivering world-class superyacht equipment

An ability to customise, deliver fast turnarounds and get it right first time is in C‑Quip’s DNA. Our superyacht equipment is built to impress, perform and last

Aluminium, stainless steel, and titanium are some of the key components we use. However, the secret behind C‑Quip’s reputation for creating the world’s finest superyacht equipment is our mastery of carbon fibre. If haute couture is crafting high quality custom-designed items which take the breath away, then we like to call our expertise carbon couture.

Carbon fibre’s lightweight, non-corroding, durable and shape-moulding properties make it perfect for highly exposed and frequently used marine equipment. We use the highest-grade materials, strict attention to detail and hand-executed techniques to create custom products. The results are structurally efficient and proudly display C‑Quip’s signature curves and elegance.

Using the material of the future

Carbon fibre is the main component in our range because it has many advantages over steel and aluminium, including lower density and lower thermal expansion. These properties, as well as its high tensile strength, make carbon fibre increasingly popular in aerospace, military and motorsport.

We craft carbon fibre to perfection

To create our products, carbon fibre is carefully layered into moulds and then pressure baked in an autoclave oven. After trimming and spray painting, final assembly takes place which includes fitting metal components as well installing hydraulic and electrical systems.

Impeccably designed to ensure the best results

When you enquire about customising a C‑Quip product, we take great care during the initial design phase. First we discuss your requirements and then our design department produce concept drawings. When these are signed off, 3D modelling and finite element analysis help to ensure your precise design is manufactured.

Expertly manufactured then rigorously tested

Our clients include shipyards and naval architects, as well as representatives and crew of the world’s largest yachts. Our experience means we are able to manage projects of all sizes, to the very highest specifications and quality. Once built, our in-house technicians test components to rigorous C‑Quip standards before delivery.

Installation with added peace of mind

During the installation stages, we will provide you with comprehensive technical support to ensure perfect installation of your new C‑Quip products. C‑Quip’s strict code of business practices and warranties also give you the added assurance of the quality of materials used as well as their long-term reliability.
