Yacht Maintenance & Repairs, Refits and Construction

Berthon has been synonymous with yacht build and repair since 1877, and we have a wealth of knowledge and experience.

With 100 skilled craftsmen and state of the art yard facilities, Berthon has the ability to deal with all aspects of maintenance, refits and repairs of your yacht. We are also available for construction or fit-out projects at the highest level.

Whilst the facilities are new, the dedication to providing the best service is key to the yard. We operate an apprenticeship scheme, and many of our craftsmen have been with us throughout their working life.

Management

One of our team of experienced maintenance and repair managers will advise you and organise all work to your requirements, for both motor and sailing yachts.

Large refits, fit-outs and construction are handled by a separate team of experienced marine project managers.

We also have a dedicated team of yacht cleaners to keep your pride and joy shipshape - inside and out, all year round.
