Bond TM

What Bond TM does

Bond Technology Management (Bond TM) is a Monaco-headquartered superyacht technology management and consulting firm founded in 2007 by Will Faimatea, a former superyacht electronics engineer. The firm provides integrated AV, IT, communications, cybersecurity, and HVAC solutions to the superyacht industry, spanning four primary service lines: New Build Consultancy (technology specification and project management from design through delivery), Refit Services (analysis and execution of upgrades to existing infrastructure), Residential Services (technology integration for owner residences and transitions to vessels), and Global Support Services (24/7 follow-the-sun technical assistance). Supporting these are two proprietary service marks — Virtual ETO, a fixed-fee remote Electro Technical Officer service for yachts without dedicated onboard technical staff, and B-Mail, a maritime-specific email hosting platform synchronized across multiple locations. The company also operates the Bond Training Academy, which delivers AV, IT, and NCSC-accredited Maritime Cyber Risk Awareness courses via e-learning and instructor-led formats.

Bond TM's underlying technology stack integrates third-party AV/IT hardware with proprietary services: the Virtual ETO service consolidates IT, VSAT, AV, and communications administration into a managed offering; B-Mail is a Bond-engineered email platform; and a digital twin capability for HVAC systems, built with Delta Digital, allows virtual testing of operational changes before onboard deployment. The HVAC capability is deepened by Synergy – The HVAC Consultancy, part of the Bond Group since 2019. The firm also holds a patent-pending MTN Performance Mounting System for Starlink antennas and is accredited for NCSC cyber training and IAMI GUEST certification.

Commercially, Bond TM operates as an enterprise field-sales business targeting yacht owners, management companies, and shipyards (notably five Dutch shipyards focused on 90m+ projects). Revenue is generated through project-based professional services for new builds and refits, recurring fixed-fee Virtual ETO subscriptions on a base of dozens of superyachts, and training course sales priced between €72 and €1,260. Distribution is direct plus events-based, with active presence at ISE, Monaco Yacht Show, Superyacht Technology Show, and METS, supported by experience centres in Monaco (The Lounge) and Barcelona (The Launch Pad) and offices in Amsterdam, Hamburg, Cyprus, South Africa, Australia, and the USA.
