Winterization services

During the winter time, various type of work has to be done on a yacht in order to preserve her equipment. Sometimes people think that is not necessary to check something or to use the proper gear & material to repair or service. This leads to the situation where improper use of materials double or even triple the cost of repair.

The kind of materials we use, are of well known marine companies and we follow strictly their instructions on application. We use only the materials within date restriction.

The result is the only proof.
