Over the decades, Esterel Shipyard has earned a reputation for delivering meticulous refits on a wide range of vessels — from classic sailing yachts to modern motor yachts up to 45 metres. Our team of 20 skilled professionals, together with carefully selected subcontractors, brings together all the trades needed to transform a yacht from stem to stern. Whether it is a full restoration of a vintage wooden hull, a complete interior redesign, or a comprehensive mechanical overhaul, we treat each project with the same dedication to quality that has defined the yard since 1936.
Every refit begins with a thorough assessment of the vessel’s condition and the owner’s vision. Our typical scope of works includes:
Complete stripping and repainting of topsides and underwater hull; fibreglass lamination and structural reinforcement; steel and aluminium welding; osmosis treatment; anodes replacement; keel and rudder servicing.
Teak deck replacement or restoration; non-slip coating; caulking; stainless steel polishing; window and portlight replacement; mast stepping and rigging overhaul; deck hardware upgrades.
Custom cabinetry, furniture and panelling in solid wood or veneer; flooring renewal (teak, oak, marble); upholstery and headlining; galley and head remodelling; lighting and electrical integration.
Engine overhaul or replacement; generator servicing; fuel and water tank cleaning or replacement; plumbing and air conditioning; electrical rewiring; navigation electronics installation; battery systems.
Below are examples of the diversity and scale of refits we have undertaken. Each project reflects our commitment to preserving the character of the vessel while bringing it up to the highest modern standards.
Built in 1966, this 30-metre motor yacht underwent a comprehensive refit at our yard. The scope included complete exterior repainting, interior joinery renewal, engine overhaul, and installation of modern navigation systems. The result is a timeless classic that continues to charter in the South of France.
VIEW PROJECTA 20-metre classic sloop built in the 1970s arrived at the yard with extensive osmosis and outdated systems. Our team carried out full osmosis treatment, new teak deck, complete rewiring, engine replacement, and a custom interior in mahogany. The yacht now sails with renewed performance and elegance.
