Akerboom Yacht Equipment solutions and expertise at your fingertips 

For over two years, Akerboom Yacht Equipment has been a trusted presence within the MB92 Barcelona facilities.
With a dedicated office and workshop embedded in the shipyard, clients benefit from immediate, local support and unrivaled technical expertise.
Thanks to Akerboom’s forward-thinking approach, the latest innovations and upgrades can be implemented seamlessly on-site.

One standout advancement—featured in Akerboom’s latest innovation report—is a next-generation remote control system with an integrated display.

Unprecedented control

This wireless remote puts real-time feedback directly in the hands of the user, with an integrated screen that offers clear insights into system status. It shows which equipment is active, tracks ongoing movements (such as hatch or platform angles), and provides specific error messages when safety protocols halt operations. 

It replaces uncertainty with clarity. During commissioning, Akerboom can customize the remote’s interface to suit the specific preferences and workflows of each yacht. Already successfully deployed aboard a Feadship, the system is adaptable to other vessels, depending on the configuration and age of the existing control setup. This innovation represents a major leap toward more intuitive, transparent, and user-friendly yacht equipment control. 

 

Local support, global standards 

With its office and workshop located within the MB92 Barcelona shipyard, Akerboom is perfectly positioned to offer hands-on support tailored to each yacht’s unique needs. All local engineers have undergone rigorous in-house training in the Netherlands, ensuring the highest standards of service. This close proximity allows for rapid response—whether troubleshooting a gangway issue, refitting a hull door, or offering expert guidance on complex projects. 

For clients, it means one thing: immediate support, right at your doorstep.
