Our facility was established by a team of passionate mariners, naval architects, and certified mechanical engineers who saw the need for a dedicated, year-round vessel care centre on the Fiumicino waterfront. Over the years we have grown into one of the most trusted names along the central Italian coast, serving both private owners and charter fleets with equal commitment to craftsmanship and reliability.
We operate a fully equipped indoor storage complex capable of housing vessels up to 18 metres, complemented by a covered workshop, hydraulic trailer system, and a dedicated paint bay with climate control. Our technicians hold certifications from leading marine engine manufacturers and rigging specialists, ensuring work meets—or exceeds—manufacturer standards.
Beyond technical excellence, we pride ourselves on transparent communication: every client receives a detailed condition report before any work begins, full photographic documentation throughout, and a structured hand-back inspection at launch. We also coordinate with insurance surveyors and classification bodies on request. Whether your vessel is a weekender sloop or a long-range motor cruiser, our yard is equipped and staffed to return it to peak condition, season after season.
With decades of combined experience and a location minutes from the open sea, our team delivers unmatched technical depth and genuine care for every vessel entrusted to us. Our advantages span facility quality, certified expertise, transparent pricing, and genuine long-term partnerships with vessel owners.
Every member of our technical team holds current certifications from recognised marine bodies and engine manufacturers including Yanmar, Volvo Penta, and Mercury. We invest in annual training to keep pace with evolving propulsion and electronics systems. Clients benefit from diagnostics-led repair—problems are correctly identified before parts are ordered, saving time and cost. Our yard also employs a qualified naval architect for structural assessments, hull osmosis treatments, and keel integrity surveys. Each completed job is signed off by a lead technician and verified against a 42-point quality checklist before the vessel is handed back.
Our climate-regulated indoor facility accommodates vessels up to 18 metres on hydraulic cradles and adjustable keel supports, protecting every hull from UV degradation, frost, and storm damage throughout the off-season. Entry is controlled by key-card access, and the compound is monitored 24 hours a day by CCTV and on-site security staff. Owners are welcome to visit their vessel by appointment and carry out personal inspections at any time. We maintain a digital inventory log for each stored vessel, tracking condition notes and scheduled work orders. Comprehensive storage insurance cover is also available through our partner underwriters.
From raw water impeller replacement and heat-exchanger flush to alternator rebuilds and complete engine-bay rewiring, our workshop handles the full mechanical and electrical spectrum. We operate a dedicated electrical bench equipped for marine chartplotter installation, AIS transponder commissioning, VHF and SSB radio servicing, and autopilot calibration. Our engineers work with both inboard diesel and petrol engines as well as hybrid and electric propulsion units. Preventive service schedules are built around manufacturer intervals, and we maintain a spares inventory covering the most common marine engine families, minimising vessel downtime.
We believe vessel owners deserve clarity. Every project begins with a written estimate itemising labour, materials, and timelines before any work starts. For routine seasonal work—haul-out, pressure wash, antifouling, keel inspection, engine service, and re-launch—we offer fixed-price packages so budgets remain predictable. If additional issues are discovered mid-project, we pause work and contact the owner immediately with a revised scope. No hidden charges, no surprise invoices. We also provide end-of-season storage agreements that bundle haul-out, mid-winter check, and spring launch into a single competitive annual fee, simplifying administration for fleet operators.
Our rigging team inspects standing and running rigging for fatigue, corrosion, and wear, replacing wire or rod standing rigging to Lloyds and ISO 10952 standards. We partner with leading sail lofts to offer on-site sail cleaning, repair, batten replacement, and UV strip renewal. Deck hardware—winches, blocks, clutches, furling systems—is stripped, cleaned, greased, and reassembled to manufacturer torque specifications. Spars are removed, inspected for corrosion and cracking, and re-anodised where necessary. Mast wiring and steaming light circuits are tested and documented. All rigging work is completed by personnel with offshore sailing experience who understand the consequences of failure at sea.
Each vessel is assigned a named client liaison who acts as the single point of contact from haul-out to re-launch. Liaisons coordinate all trades, compile photographic reports at each stage, and provide weekly progress updates via email or messaging app. Owners located abroad—common among blue-water cruisers and charter operators—find this especially valuable, as they receive full visibility without needing to travel to the yard. Condition reports include annotated photographs, recommended future actions, and cost projections for the next season. At final sign-off, a digital vessel passport is updated and shared, providing a permanent maintenance history that adds tangible value at resale.
From haul-out to launch, our comprehensive service catalogue covers every technical discipline required to keep sailing and motor vessels in peak operational condition throughout every season.
We manage the complete haul-out process using our 40-tonne travel-lift, positioning each vessel on custom-fitted cradles with blocking adjusted to the hull form. Once ashore, we flush and winterise all raw-water systems, drain sea-cocks and pumps, fog engines with corrosion inhibitor, and disconnect batteries to trickle-charge mode. Bilges are cleaned and dried. We also apply a protective wax or shrink-wrap layer to deck fittings and hatches on request. At season end, each vessel undergoes a full visual survey and the findings are recorded in the storage file. Spring re-launch includes engine recommission, running rigging re-rig, and a sea-trial check before handback to the owner.
Clean hulls move faster, consume less fuel, and resist osmosis—so we invest heavily in preparation quality. Every hull is pressure-washed immediately after haul-out to remove fouling before it dries. We then sand or blast to the required substrate, apply epoxy osmosis barrier coats where needed, and finish with premium antifouling appropriate to the vessel's operational area (racing, cruising, or trailered use). All paint products used are EU-compliant low-biocide formulations applied by trained spray technicians in our enclosed paint bay, eliminating environmental contamination and achieving a far superior finish compared to open-air roller application. Waterline and boot-top lining is re-masked and striped as specified.
Our engine bay team performs scheduled servicing (oil, filters, belts, impellers, zincs, fuel injection) and full mechanical overhaul across all common marine diesel and petrol platforms. Diagnostics are carried out with manufacturer-approved electronic tools, enabling accurate fault isolation before strip-down. We rebuild or replace heat exchangers, turbochargers, gearboxes, propeller shafts, cutlass bearings, and stern-gland assemblies. Sterndrive and outboard repair—including lower unit rebuild and trim system overhaul—is also available. After every engine service, a test run under load is performed and results logged. We liaise directly with parts distributors to source genuine components and maintain a stocked inventory of fast-moving consumables.
Rigging failure at sea is one of the most serious safety risks a sailor faces. Our rigging team conducts comprehensive standing rigging surveys, using dye penetrant testing on swage terminals and load-testing on chainplates where access permits. Wire and rod rigging approaching manufacturer life limits is replaced using grade-316 stainless or high-modulus Dyneema alternatives for weight-sensitive racing vessels. Furling systems are stripped, bearing races inspected, and foil sections checked for impact damage. Running rigging—halyards, sheets, guys—is measured for sheath wear and replaced using brand-matched cord to preserve winch compatibility. Mast steps and spreaders are examined for corrosion, and all work is documented with photographic evidence.
Our electronics engineers install, commission, and service the full range of navigation and communication equipment: chartplotters, multifunction displays, radar, AIS transponders, VHF/DSC radios, SSB, satellite communication, autopilot systems, and wind/depth/speed instruments. We design and install 12V and 24V distribution systems, shore-power panels, and inverter/charger setups including lithium battery management. NMEA 2000 and NMEA 0183 network integration is carried out according to current standards, with all circuits labelled, fused, and documented in a wiring schematic provided to the owner. Thermal imaging and insulation resistance testing are used to locate latent wiring faults before they cause failures at sea.
Osmotic blistering degrades hull integrity and resale value if left untreated. Our naval architect supervises a structured treatment programme: hull drying to below 15% moisture content (typically 90–120 days in covered storage), abrasive removal of all blistered gelcoat, moisture mapping, and application of a full epoxy barrier system using West System or Gurit products over multiple fairing coats. Structural repairs—delamination, keel-bolt corrosion, rudder stock replacement, and collision damage—are assessed and repaired to ISO 12215 structural standards. We also fabricate custom GRP components including locker lids, helm seats, and anchor rollers using in-house lamination facilities. All structural repairs are hydrostatic-tested before re-launch.
