Yacht Refit & Restoration
From a single transformation to a complete vessel refit, Maritime Yacht Services brings specialist trades, project management and finishing expertise together under one team.
Rooted in British craftsmanship and based on the River Hamble, Maritime Yacht Services has grown from a specialist marine team into an internationally operating yacht refit, repair and maintenance company.
From routine maintenance and complex repairs to major refits and complete transformations, we bring together skilled trades, technical expertise and meticulous project management to care for every element of a vessel — both at our dedicated facilities and wherever our clients need us.
Our work has seen well-used and ageing yachts transformed beyond their original condition, combining traditional craftsmanship with modern materials, systems and technology. We don't simply restore what was there before; we look at how a vessel can be improved, refined and better suited to the way her owner uses her today.
Whether preserving the character of a much-loved yacht or completely reimagining what she can become, every MYS project is driven by the same principles: exceptional workmanship, intelligent solutions and an uncompromising attention to detail.
Six stages, one accountable team.
We start by understanding the vessel, your objectives, the programme and the budget. Every refit begins with a conversation about what your yacht could become.
We assess condition, systems, structure and the work required — in person, at our facility or at the vessel's location.
We develop the preliminary specification and quotation, setting out the trades, timeline and milestones in a single coordinated plan.
Our trades and project management come together under one team. You communicate directly with Sophie, James and your designated project manager.
Clear communication throughout — progress reporting and photographic records, with weekly cost reports so there are no surprises.
Testing, snagging, sea trials where applicable and handover — your vessel returned ready, with the work documented.
Every surface, every system — renew, don't replace.
A well-executed refit can return a vessel to a standard that exceeds its original condition — redefining aesthetics, systems and even powertrain, at a fraction of replacement cost.
Projects have a reputation for escalating. We limit that through pre-planning, accurate task estimation and substantial resources — managed with structure, flexibility and clear communication.
From a fresh paint finish and modernised hardtop to renewed teak, upgraded electronics and a stronger hull — a refit lets you keep the vessel you know, refined for how you use her today.
