Art Appreciation
Superyacht Interior crew members report concerns where they don't understand the value or significance of objects in their care.
Knowledge strengthens the crew’s relationship with the Owner. Understanding the high-stakes global art market allows participants to respect the Owner’s motivation and passion as an art collector. It raises awareness of possessions’ intrinsic value and ultimately means more confidence to interact with the owner, yacht management, art curator and designer to handle assigned tasks.
Enjoy an intensive and fascinating insight into why art around us is important, cultural heritage, the terms used and the genres and movements as well as collectors motivatio
Care & Conservation
Fine and decorative arts are the only appreciating assets on board a vessel.
The burden of working for owners of fine art is a responsibility that few people train for. Art handling involves knowledge about how damage occurs to objects, known in conservation as the 10 agents of deterioration.
Our workshops explain the hazards of placing objects and how to avoid climatic damage. Sunlight, humidity, sea air, and temperature are dangerous to sensitive works of art aboard superyachts. Therefore, climate control, correct placement onboard, and artificial lighting are important as well as do's and don'ts of cleaning, handling and logistics.
Legal Export Risks
For captains and yacht management as well as senior interior crew, onboarding valuable artworks means risk.
Many regulations govern cultural objects regardless of ownership as yacht owners have witnessed.
Superyachts carrying goods in international waters are vulnerable if Captains, Pursers and Crew don't learn the documentation and protocols necessary for compliance and good governance of the vessel.
New regulations now exist on the entry of cultural objects into the EU. Breaching national treasure laws resulted in criminal penalties and prison sentences for smuggling as well as halting vessels on their itinerary.

Supporting the insurance industry
Calculating risk for art on superyachts, despite being a niche and specialist area, is one with potentially high penalties for getting it wrong.
Pandora Art Services has started to work with the insurance industry helping to assess schedules of assets to be taken on board. We also run courses for brokers, underwriters and loss adjusters to enable them to understand the unique situations which might result in loss. We help them to understand how the value of an artwork can be upheld through conservation on board.
Potential loss on super yachts is not limited to a few paintings on the wall valuable as they might be, it is also important to remember that there are a plethora of sculptures, decorative objects, and design pieces with delicate surfaces that can be expensive or impossible to repair. Indeed, many objects on a superyacht will be unique, even if not high value, and they may be treasured by the owner.
