Boat maintenanceand refits in Dubrovnik
From routine washing and polishing to hull sanding, antifouling and keel repairs. We work on the hard and in the marinas around Dubrovnik — all year round, with photographs of every step.
Everything your boat needs, in one place
01Regular boat washing and cleaning
Exterior washing of the hull, superstructure and deck, plus removal of salt and deposits — one-off or on a regular schedule.
02Hull and superstructure polishing
Machine polishing of the gelcoat to a high gloss — removing oxidation, fine scratches and dull patches.
03Protective wax application
A protective coat of wax after polishing — longer-lasting gloss and gelcoat protection against UV and salt.
04Antifouling coating
Preparing the underwater hull and applying antifouling paint against marine growth — in good time, before the season.
05Hull sanding and preparation
Sanding off old coatings and preparing the substrate for new layers — the foundation of any lasting finish.
06Zinc anode service and replacement
Inspection and replacement of the sacrificial anodes that protect the shaft, propeller and hull from galvanic corrosion.
07Propeller cleaning and maintenance
Removing growth, polishing and checking the propeller and shaft for smooth, efficient running.
08Oil, filter and impeller changes
Routine engine service: changing the oil, filters and impeller, plus a check of the cooling system.
09Battery maintenance
Testing, charging and replacing batteries, plus a check of the onboard wiring before the season and before winter layup.
10Gelcoat and minor damage repairs
Repairing scratches, impacts and cracks in the gelcoat — back to the original gloss and colour.
11Osmosis treatment (as required)
Diagnosing and treating osmosis: opening the blisters, drying the hull and applying new protective epoxy layers.
12Teak decks — cleaning, restoration and protection
Deep cleaning, sanding and sealing of the teak — the deck returned to a warm, even tone of wood.
13Getting the boat ready for the season
Full preparation for launch: coatings, engine, equipment and a final check — the boat ready for the sea.
14Winterising and layup
Preparation for the winter berth: conserving the engine and systems, protecting the interior and covering the boat.
15Arranging lift-out and launch
We arrange the crane, transport and dry berth — from the water to the yard and back, with nothing for the owner to worry about.
16Regular checks and preventive maintenance
Periodic visits to the boat at its berth, catching small faults in good time before they turn into big ones.
17Advice on maintenance and equipment
Guidance on a maintenance plan and the choice of coatings and equipment — before buying a boat and before major work.
Keel repair — from corrosion to launch
One project, five steps: a neglected sailboat keel brought back to full condition, documented from the workshop.
