Fort Lauderdale — Est. 1994
Steel, teakand deep water.
Refit, paint and management for 30–60m yachts, run by a yard team that has taken the same vessels around the world twice.
The yard
We take boats apartfor a living.
Every project starts the same way: a survey, a structural opinion, and an honest number. If a refit does not make sense for the vessel, we say so before you sign.
Four sheds, one project manager per boat, and a crew that has been together long enough to finish each other's punch lists.

How we work
Four ruleswe do notbreak.
01/04
The number we give you in March is the number in October.
Every variation is priced and signed before a tool moves. No end-of-project reckoning.
One project manager, one boat, start to sea trials.
He knows the vessel's history, the captain's name and where every wire runs.
Nothing that touches structure leaves the yard.
Steel, fairing, paint and systems are ours. Only upholstery and glass go out.
We say no when a refit does not make sense.
Twice a year we tell an owner to sell rather than spend. It is why they come back.
Inside a refit
01 — Month 01
Survey & strip
She comes out of the water, and everything that hides a problem comes off. We photograph and log every frame before the first grinder starts.
02 — Month 04
Structure & fairing
Steel and alloy work first, then fairing measured across the whole hull rather than panel by panel, because the eye reads the whole hull.
03 — Month 11
Joinery & finish
Teak laid by hand, interior joinery dry-fitted in the shop and installed in sequence so nothing is cut twice.
04 — Month 17
Sea trials
Three weeks of trials with the captain aboard before we hand her back — including one night run, because that is when problems show.
Capability
Four disciplines,one yard.
Nothing subcontracted that touches structure, finish or systems.
Strip to bare structure, re-engineer where the original build compromised, and rebuild to a standard that reads as new construction.
Fairing measured in tenths of a millimetre, sprayed in a sealed shed so the hull reads as one continuous surface from any angle.
Decks laid plank by plank with caulk lines that run true from bow to transom, and interior joinery matched to the original grain.
Budgets, class compliance, crew and yard scheduling handled by one team, so ownership stays as quiet as it should be.

Owners
“They gave me a number in March and delivered on that number in October the following year. In this industry that alone is remarkable.”
Meridian
A hull is honest. It tells you what the last yard did.
