Yacht maintenance in Corfu.
Technical expertise. Preventive care. Complete peace of mind. Professional maintenance and technical oversight for yachts based in Corfu and the Ionian Islands — from a team that comes from the shipyard, not just a contractor list.
Refit work overseen by people who've stood on the yard floor.
Yacht Refit Management, Corfu
WhatHull refinishing and gelcoat repair, GRP and composite repair, osmosis treatment, structural and marine carpentry, upholstery, systems upgrades, and full paint jobs — scoped, quoted, and project-managed from the first inspection to final handover.
WhyA refit has more moving parts, trades, and decision points than any owner should have to manage from another country — and a rushed or badly sequenced refit costs more to fix than to do right the first time.
HowOne person accountable for the whole project: the quote, the right yard and lift capacity for your yacht's size, the trades on-site, and the final invoice. You get photos and a written update at every stage, not a surprise at the end.
Maintenance overseen by people who've actually done the work.
Our families have laid keels, faired hulls, and rebuilt engines in Corfu shipyards since 1972. That background is why we can look at a maintenance report and know whether it's thorough or just paperwork — the same eye that caught problems on the slipway now catches them on a routine visit, before they become expensive.
The checks that catch problems while they're still small.
WhatScheduled inspection of engine and mechanical systems, electrical circuits and batteries, bilge pumps and seals, plumbing, HVAC, generators, rigging, and safety equipment.
WhyThe failures that ruin a season rarely happen suddenly — a corroded terminal, a weeping seal, a battery losing charge all give warning, if someone is actually looking.
HowA visit calendar you never have to think about yourself, with a written report and photos after every check — so a small issue gets caught on a routine visit, not discovered underway.
She should look the way you remember her, every time you step aboard.
High-pressure washdown straight off the lift, waxing and polishing, gelcoat care, stainless polishing, and teak deck restoration, arranged on your schedule and handled before you land — along with coordinating antifouling and other yard work when it's due.
Diagnosis and repair, not just a referral.
WhatMechanical faults, valve and cooling system repairs, and electrical issues — shore power, inverters, battery systems, bow thrusters, and solar — plus plumbing, air conditioning, and generator problems, identified, diagnosed, and either fixed directly or overseen through to completion with a qualified technician.
WhyAn owner abroad can't wait a week for someone to "take a look," and a diagnosis relayed through three people rarely arrives accurate.
HowOne call gets the problem assessed, quoted, and resolved — without you chasing a chain of subcontractors yourself.
Ready for the season, and put away properly at the end of it.
WhatPre-season preparation and launch, post-season haul-out and lay-up, full winterization — engine lay-up, water system draining, battery care — and periodic inspections while you're away.
WhyCorfu's wet winters are hard on a boat nobody's checking, and a rushed spring recommission finds problems on the water instead of on the hard.
HowShe comes out of winter already running, ready the moment you want her — not mid-inspection while you're waiting to leave the dock.
One point of contact for all of it — not five different numbers.
You don't coordinate the electrician, the diver, and the upholsterer separately. We do, and you get one written record instead of three inboxes.
