Your boat’s hull is constantly exposed to the harsh elements of nature. Old paint can become a haven for barnacles and other bivalves, algae and corrosion, all of which can weaken your boat’s structure and performance. Whether you’re preparing for the summer season or simply need some maintenance, stripping is an essential step to ensure a good application of paint and protection schemes to your boat’s hull.
Our service meticulously removes all layers of old paint, rust and other imperfections, leaving your boat’s hull clean and ready to receive a new layer of protection.
We work using sandblasting, an effective and environmentally responsible method for removing boat paint without producing solid waste that can pollute the environment. This type of blasting allows for greater precision and control throughout the process, which means that less material is removed from the boat, thus preserving its structural integrity.
A new coat of hull paint isn’t just about aesthetics. It’s about protecting your boat from corrosion, UV damage and the wear and tear inherent in the marine environment. Our hull painting service uses high quality nautical paints, specially formulated to withstand harsh conditions, protecting your boat against the elements and wear and tear.
We also offer a variety of protection schemes, such as anti-osmosis treatments or anti-vegetative paints, which help keep your boat in good condition so you can enjoy days at sea year after year.
Carpentry is an integral part of your boat’s identity, but it is also susceptible to damage caused by moisture, insects, and sun. Our team, in addition to years of experience in the field of naval carpentry, is passionate about the preservation and restoration of any woodwork on a boat.
We use traditional techniques and knowledge, combined with current technology, to ensure excellent work from the application and maintenance of teak decks to the restoration of furniture and finishes.
Fiberglass is a versatile and durable material that plays a crucial role in boat construction and maintenance. It is light, strong and corrosion-resistant, making it an ideal choice for various components of your boat, including hulls, decks, hatches and interior trim. However, it is also susceptible to damage caused by impact, corrosion and UV rays.
Our specialized fiberglass work team has extensive experience in boat repair and restoration, dealing with all types of damage, from small cracks and holes to more serious structural damage caused by impact or corrosion.
Our services include:
- Hatch and window repairs
- Interior trim
- Hull repairs
- Deck repairs

The electrical system of your boat is a complex network that powers everything from lights and navigation equipment to onboard appliances and entertainment systems. Keeping this system in good condition is essential to ensure your safety and enjoyment.
Our team of experienced electricians is at your disposal to assist you with any type of electrical and electronic repairs, including:
- Diagnosis and troubleshooting

Your boat’s Keel and structure are exposed to the elements, making them susceptible to damage from corrosion, impact and wear. We have extensive experience in repairing and restoring metalwork on all types of boats, including boats made of fiberglass, steel and aluminum.
