OFFERED SERVICES
Mechanical and Propulsion Overhauls
This includes servicing or replacing main engines, generators, and transmissions. Technicians also handle critical underwater components like propeller shafts, rudders, and bow thrusters to ensure smooth handling and fuel efficiency.
Hull Restoration and Painting
Specialists perform "antifouling" to prevent marine growth, as well as structural repairs to fiberglass (GRP), aluminum, or steel. High-end companies offer full-body resprays using marine-grade paint systems to restore the yacht’s original luster and protect it from saltwater corrosion.
Electrical and Navigation Upgrades
These experts modernize the "brain" of the yacht by installing the latest GPS, radar, and sonar systems. They also overhaul electrical grids, battery banks, and shore power connections to support modern onboard luxury and safety standards.
Teak Decking and Exterior Carpentry
Constant sun and humidity wear down wooden surfaces. Professional shipwrights specialize in the precision repair or full replacement of teak decks, as well as custom exterior joinery and cabinetry to refresh the yacht's social areas.
Interior Refurbishment
Beyond just repairs, refit teams can completely redesign living spaces. This involves updating upholstery, fine woodworking, and flooring, as well as modernizing HVAC (air conditioning) and plumbing systems to improve onboard comfort and air quality.

FAQ
Professional yacht maintenance covers everything from engine and generator servicing to hull cleaning, electrical system audits, and teak deck care. In the Philippines, these services focus heavily on preventing corrosion and managing the effects of high humidity on interior and exterior components.
Yacht maintenance is the ongoing process of keeping a vessel in its current working condition (e.g., oil changes and hull cleaning). A yacht refit is a more extensive project involving significant upgrades, such as a complete interior redesign, engine replacement, or structural restoration to modernize the vessel and increase its resale value.
The primary hubs for world-class yacht refit & maintenance are Subic Bay, Cebu, and Manila. These locations offer advanced shipyard facilities, skilled marine engineers, and proximity to international parts suppliers, making them ideal for both minor repairs and large-scale conversions.
Investing in a high-quality yacht refit significantly boosts market appeal and resale value. By updating navigation technology, overhauling mechanical systems, and refreshing the paintwork, owners can often recoup a substantial portion of their investment while ensuring the vessel passes rigorous marine surveys.
A comprehensive yacht refit is typically recommended every 5 to 10 years to update major systems and aesthetics. However, specific tasks like antifouling and hull inspections should be part of your bi-annual yacht maintenance schedule to prevent saltwater damage and ensure performance in tropical climates.
