REPAIR AND MAINTENANCE
Yacht repair and maintenance are essential to keeping your vessel safe, reliable, and performing at its best. From routine service intervals and system checks to repairing damaged components or addressing wear and tear, proactive maintenance ensures compliance, protects long-term value, and reduces the risk of costly downtime. Whether it’s planned servicing or unexpected repairs, keeping your yacht in top condition means more time on the water, and total peace of mind.
Why repair and maintain?
In the marine industry, prevention is always better than cure. Following manufacturer-recommended maintenance schedules not only ensures your equipment runs at peak efficiency, but also safeguards warranties and compliance with certification bodies.
The sea is unforgiving — corrosion, constant motion, and heavy loads will find the weak points in any system. Regular inspections and timely repairs help prevent small issues from becoming major failures. This means greater safety for crew and passengers, reduced downtime, and extended service life for your vessel.
Whether you operate to strict AMSA, Lloyd’s, or other classification standards, we help you stay on top of mandatory servicing and inspections so you can remain certified, compliant, and operational.

YACHT REPAIR AND MAINTENANCE FAQs
What types of repair and maintenance work do you handle?
We cover everything from routine servicing — oil changes, filter replacements, and system checks — to more complex repairs such as engine rebuilds, electrical troubleshooting, hydraulic system overhauls, and corrosion treatment. We also handle emergency callouts, OEM part replacements, and certification-related inspections. When original parts are no longer available, our in-house technology — including 3D printing, carbon lamination, and CNC machining — allows us to fabricate high-quality, custom replacements quickly.
How often should my yacht have maintenance done?
That depends on your vessel type, usage, and manufacturer guidelines. Most manufacturers provide recommended service intervals — for example, annual engine servicing or quarterly system checks. For commercial vessels under AMSA or classed with Lloyd’s or MCA, maintenance schedules are part of compliance requirements. We can create a tailored maintenance plan so nothing is missed.
When is the best time to schedule maintenance or repairs?
We recommend planning major maintenance during quieter operational periods — for many owners, that’s winter or between charter seasons. That said, we operate year-round and can adjust our resources to meet urgent needs. For certain work, we can also carry it out while the vessel is afloat or in your home port to reduce downtime.
What happens if I skip scheduled maintenance?
Skipping scheduled maintenance can shorten equipment lifespan, increase the risk of breakdowns, and even void manufacturer warranties or insurance cover. Many avoidable failures — from seized engines to electrical faults — are traced back to missed servicing. Staying on schedule protects your investment and your safety.
