Modernize your vessel rather than replace it

A refit extends the life of your boat and improves its performance and your working comfort, for a controlled investment. We handle the study, the work and the follow-up until the boat is back in the water.

Taking the boat back as a whole

We strip down, survey and rebuild: structure, decks, superstructures, interiors, re-engining, hydraulics, electrics and electronics. The boat comes out with like-new performance and comfort, for far less than the cost of a new build.

  • Structural survey and pre-work assessment
  • Hull and superstructure rework
  • Complete interior refit
  • Re-engining and overhaul of onboard systems
