Meticulous Servicing for Motor Yachts on the Côte d'Azur.

From the harbours of Vallauris to the wider Riviera, we keep motor yachts running with the quiet precision their owners expect. Our workshop blends manufacturer-grade engineering, disciplined preventive maintenance, and a genuine respect for the craft of the sea. Every propulsion system, generator, pump, and control circuit is treated as part of a single reliable whole, so a season on the water is defined by comfort rather than compromise.

Whether you need a scheduled service, a seasonal recommission, or urgent attention before departure, our technicians arrive prepared, work transparently, and hand back a vessel that performs as it should. We measure success in dependable engines, calm crossings, and owners who never think twice about the machinery below deck.

Who We Are

A Riviera Workshop Built on Trust and Detail

We are a dedicated team of marine technicians serving motor yacht owners along the Côte d'Azur, with our home base at one of the region's most respected yachting ports. Our work is grounded in a simple belief: a well-maintained yacht is a safer, quieter, and more valuable yacht. That conviction shapes every inspection sheet, every torque reading, and every conversation we have with the owners and captains who trust us.

Over the years we have cared for a broad range of vessels, from compact day cruisers to substantial motor yachts with complex onboard systems. Each one has taught us that reliability is not an accident but the product of methodical routine, honest reporting, and a refusal to cut corners. We keep detailed service histories, recommend only what genuinely benefits the vessel, and treat every yacht as if it were leaving our own berth.

More About Us
Why Choose Us

The Advantages Owners Feel Every Season

Choosing a service partner for a motor yacht is a decision about confidence. These six strengths explain why owners along the coast return to us year after year for their technical care.

Certified Technicians, Manufacturer Standards

Every yacht in our care is handled by qualified marine technicians who work to manufacturer specifications and recognised industry standards. Our engineers are trained across the major motor yacht propulsion brands, and they combine that factory knowledge with years of hands-on experience in the demanding conditions of the Mediterranean. Diagnostics are accurate the first time, adjustments are made within correct tolerances, and no shortcut is ever taken that could compromise reliability at sea. For an owner, that translates into genuine peace of mind: the assurance that the people servicing a significant investment truly understand the machinery beneath the deck and the sea it must face.

Preventive Maintenance That Protects Value

A motor yacht is a considerable asset, and its value is closely tied to the quality of its maintenance record. We build structured preventive programmes that catch wear before it becomes failure, keeping engines, generators, and auxiliary systems within their ideal operating window. This disciplined approach reduces the risk of expensive emergency repairs, extends the working life of costly components, and produces a documented service history that supports resale value. Owners consistently tell us that the smaller, well-timed intervention is always preferable to the large, unplanned one, and our routines are designed precisely to keep costs predictable and the vessel dependable.

Rapid Response Across the Coast

Time on the water is precious, and a mechanical issue at the wrong moment can spoil a long-awaited voyage. Our location on the Côte d'Azur allows us to reach berths quickly across the region, whether the yacht is in port, at anchor, or preparing to depart. We hold common consumables and critical spares ready, coordinate closely with marinas, and prioritise urgent situations so that owners are not left waiting through a beautiful cruising day. Fast, capable response is not a luxury add-on for us; it is a core part of how we keep the yachts under our care moving reliably throughout the busy season.

Transparent Reporting and Fair Estimates

Trust is built on clarity, so we never leave an owner guessing about the condition of their yacht or the cost of its care. Before work begins we explain what we have found, why it matters, and what the sensible options are, in plain language rather than technical jargon. Estimates are detailed and honest, and if we discover something unexpected we pause and consult before proceeding. After each visit you receive a clear record of the work performed, the parts fitted, and the recommendations for the future. This openness means there are no unwelcome surprises, only steady, well-documented progress toward a reliable vessel.

Genuine Parts and Specialist Tooling

The quality of a repair depends heavily on the quality of the components and instruments used to carry it out. We source genuine or manufacturer-approved parts and rely on specialist marine tooling and diagnostic equipment rather than makeshift alternatives. This matters in a saltwater environment where corrosion, vibration, and heat punish anything substandard. Correct sealants, torque tools, calibration gear, and replacement components ensure that each fix holds up under real conditions at sea. By refusing to compromise on materials, we protect both the immediate safety of the vessel and the long-term integrity of its systems, saving owners from the false economy of cheap, short-lived repairs.

Discreet, Owner-Focused Service Culture

Yachting on the Riviera comes with an expectation of discretion and courtesy, and we take that seriously in everything we do. Our technicians treat each vessel and its owners with respect, arriving on time, keeping work areas clean, and communicating politely with crew and captains. We understand that a yacht is both a machine and a personal sanctuary, so we work efficiently and unobtrusively, protecting finishes and interiors while we operate. This attentive, service-minded culture is one of the quiet reasons owners choose to stay with us: the experience of dealing with us is as reassuring as the reliability of the work we leave behind.

What We Do

Complete Technical Care for Your Motor Yacht

From routine servicing to full seasonal programmes, our workshop covers the mechanical and technical needs of modern motor yachts. Explore a selection of our core disciplines below, each delivered with the same precision and care.

Engine & Propulsion Servicing

Our core discipline is the health of the yacht's engines and propulsion line. We carry out oil and filter changes, cooling system checks, injector and fuel system servicing, belt and impeller replacement, alignment inspection, and full diagnostic scans. Whether the vessel runs a single dependable diesel or twin high-output units, we tune each system for smooth power delivery, efficient fuel use, and long service life. Every intervention follows manufacturer intervals and is recorded in the vessel's history, so performance stays consistent from one season to the next and small issues are resolved long before they threaten a voyage.

Onboard Systems & Electrical Care

A modern motor yacht is a network of interconnected systems, and we maintain them as a coordinated whole. We service generators, batteries and charging circuits, navigation and instrumentation, pumps, air conditioning, and the wiring that ties them together. Corrosion checks, connection cleaning, load testing, and firmware updates keep everything working in harmony. Because electrical faults at sea can be both frustrating and dangerous, we trace problems methodically to their root rather than treating symptoms. The result is dependable power, reliable comfort systems, and instrumentation an owner can trust when it matters most, day or night.

Hull, Antifouling & Underwater Work

What happens beneath the waterline shapes how a yacht performs above it. We manage antifouling application, hull cleaning, anode replacement, propeller and shaft inspection, and through-hull fitting checks to keep the underwater profile efficient and protected. A clean, well-treated hull cuts fuel consumption, preserves speed, and guards expensive metal components against galvanic corrosion in the salt-rich Mediterranean. We schedule this work around haul-out windows and cruising plans, coordinating with local yards where lifting is required, so the vessel returns to the water in its best possible condition and ready for a demanding season.

Seasonal Layup & Recommissioning

The rhythm of Riviera yachting means periods of intense use and quieter months of rest, and both deserve proper attention. For winter layup we protect engines and systems against idle-time damage, stabilise fuel, treat cooling circuits, and secure the vessel against the elements. When the season returns, our recommissioning routine brings everything back to life systematically: fluids checked, systems tested, safety equipment verified, and a full shakedown completed. This careful bracketing of the season prevents the hidden deterioration that comes from neglect during storage and ensures the first voyage of the year is as reliable as the last one before it.

Emergency Repairs & Breakdown Support

Even the best-maintained yacht can meet the unexpected, and when it does our team responds with speed and composure. We provide breakdown support across the coast, arriving equipped to diagnose and resolve mechanical, electrical, and systems failures wherever the vessel lies. Our priority is to restore safe operation quickly, whether that means a decisive on-the-spot repair or a well-managed recovery to the workshop for deeper attention. Owners value knowing that a single call brings capable help rather than uncertainty. This dependable safety net turns anxious moments into manageable ones and keeps small setbacks from becoming ruined voyages.

Maintenance Programmes & Surveys

For owners who prefer to plan rather than react, we design tailored annual maintenance programmes and carry out thorough condition surveys. A programme sets out scheduled visits, predictable budgeting, and a clear record of every task across the year, removing the guesswork from yacht ownership. Our surveys give an honest, detailed picture of a vessel's mechanical and technical health, whether for peace of mind, insurance, or purchase. Both services rest on the same foundation of careful inspection and straight talk, giving owners a genuine understanding of their yacht and a considered path to keeping it dependable and beautifully cared for.
