Whether your yacht needs a complete transformation or targeted upgrades, Esterel Shipyard delivers comprehensive refit services for sailing and motor yachts up to 45 metres. Our in-house team of 20 skilled professionals covers every trade — from carpentry and joinery to mechanics, electrical systems, paintwork, and lamination. We manage the entire project, from initial survey and planning to final launch, ensuring seamless coordination and the highest quality standards. Our facilities include four slipways with a 350-ton capacity, allowing us to handle vessels of all types, including those requiring delicate haul-out. With over 80 years of experience on the French Riviera, we bring unmatched expertise to every refit, preserving the character of classic yachts while integrating modern systems and finishes.
Every refit begins with a thorough survey of the vessel, carried out by our experienced project managers. We assess the hull, deck, systems, and interior to identify all necessary work and potential challenges. Based on this survey, we provide a detailed quotation and a realistic timeline. Once approved, we assign a dedicated project manager who coordinates all trades, schedules deliveries, and keeps you informed at every stage. Our team works in parallel where possible to minimise downtime. After completion, we conduct sea trials and a final inspection before handing over your yacht. We also offer storage and maintenance services for vessels awaiting their next season.

Our structured approach ensures transparency and quality. We begin with a comprehensive survey, then move to planning, execution, and final delivery. Each phase is documented and communicated to you, so you always know the status of your project.
