VMG Projects offers bespoke project management services for new constructions, refits and conversions. Our work is noted by our clients and suppliers for the meticulous planning and attention to detail. Acting on behalf of the owner we have operated in yards worldwide ensuring all work undertaken is of a high standard and that the specification is met.

Our background as working Captains gives us the versatility to also undertake relief / delivery captain roles at short notice to help a project meet its objectives.

Quotes from some of our clients:

Charles Dunstone has owned 86ft Nautor's Swan, HAMILTON, successful 76 foot racing sled, NOKIA ENIGMA, and is current owner of 117ft Briand performance sloop, Hamilton II. Matt Cowpe ran Charles's yachting programme and boat maintenance for over 6 years and continues to work as a consultant through VMG Projects:

"What impresses me about Matt is his attention to detail, meticulous planning and total commitment to the best interests of the owner.  Matt has been responsible for a wide range of projects on my behalf and has always delivered".
Charles Dunstone.  Owner HAMILTON II

In September 2005, I gave VMG Projects a clear objective to make my Swan Monsoon Jaguar the fastest afloat.  They researched and planned the process and carried out the work meticulously having managed the implementation of different contractors and delivered on time what was expected. I was very pleased with what has been achieved and the results at Swan Worlds proved how competitive the boat was racing!
Peter Simon.  Owner, MONSOON JAGUAR

"Matt Cowpe knows exactly what he is doing, is extremely well organised and plans methodically. Most important is that he is ruthlessly honest and works tirelessly for the owner when dealing with yards."
Peter Morton. Boat Sales International.

"I have been involved in serious yacht racing campaigns now for over 25 years and I have to single out ‘VMG Projects’ as one of the most outstanding teams in putting together the logistics and organisation in this complex sport of ours. It is attention to detail that counts and the VMG Team have continually impressed me with their quest to leave no stone unturned. I would gladly recommend their services to any owner or big boat skipper"
Mike Broughton.  Professional Navigator and meteorologist
