  • Scheduled routine maintenance

  • Specialized woodwork and varnishing
  • Preventive treatments and seasonal restorations

  • Electrical and navigation system upgrades
  • Propulsion and engine maintenance
  • Plumbing and HVAC systems

We act not only as a service provider but as a dedicated partner in the long-term care and operation of your vessel.
