Shipyards – We Select the Best Yacht Shipyard for Your Needs

We Select the Best Yacht Shipyard for Your Needs

At Valencia Marine Services, we understand that choosing the right shipyard can be the difference between a smooth, efficient refit and costly delays. With our deep knowledge of shipyard facilities across Spain, France, Italy, Turkey, Croatia, Slovenia, and Portugal, we help you select the perfect location to meet your yacht’s technical, budget, and scheduling needs.

Our Shipyard Selection Process

We follow a proven methodology to match your project with the right facility:

1. Assessment of Your Yacht’s Needs

   • Vessel type, size, and draft

   • Scope of work (mechanical, hull, interior, electrical)

   • Special requirements (e.g., aluminum welding, carbon fiber repairs)

2. Shipyard Shortlist & Evaluation

   • Equipment availability (travel lifts, cranes, dry docks)

   • Skilled workforce and subcontractors

   • Compliance with maritime and environmental regulations

3. Site Visits & Negotiations

   • We visit shortlisted yards

   • Review proposals and timelines

   • Negotiate the best contract terms

4. Final Recommendation

   • Clear comparison chart of each option

   • Transparent cost breakdown

Why the Right Shipyard Matters

Selecting the wrong facility can lead to:

• Delays due to limited capacity or poor planning.

• Quality issues from inexperienced teams or outdated equipment.
