Why it matters in South Florida
A Well-Maintained Yacht Is a Safe Yacht
Our preventive and scheduled maintenance programs are designed to protect your investment and ensure your yacht is always ready when you are. We develop customized maintenance schedules based on your vessel's make, model, usage patterns, and manufacturer recommendations.
A well-maintained yacht is a safe yacht. Our maintenance programs are built around manufacturer-recommended intervals combined with our own field-tested protocols developed over two decades of working on vessels of every size and configuration. We don't take a one-size-fits-all approach — every maintenance plan is tailored to your specific vessel, your usage patterns, and your cruising area.
Our technicians are factory-trained on the major engine and systems brands found aboard today's finest yachts, including Volvo Penta, Caterpillar, MTU, Cummins, and more. Whether your vessel is a 40-foot sportfisher or a 150-foot superyacht, we bring the same level of expertise and attention to every service call.
Italian yachts — including Azimut, Ferretti, Riva, Pershing, and Itama — are among the most popular vessels in South Florida, and for good reason. But maintaining them correctly requires specialized knowledge that goes beyond general marine experience. These vessels are engineered to European specifications: metric hardware, proprietary electrical architectures, Italian-sourced components, and systems documentation that is often available only in Italian. Our team has hands-on experience maintaining Azimut and Ferretti yachts specifically, and we source OEM parts through our established European supplier network to ensure every service is performed to factory standards.
Our maintenance services are based in Fort Lauderdale, Florida — one of the world's premier yachting hubs — giving us direct access to the marinas, suppliers, and technical resources your vessel needs. If your yacht is berthed in Miami or Palm Beach, we'd love to discuss how we can support you there as well. Reach out to us directly and we'll put together a plan that works for your location.

Italian Yacht Specialists
in South Florida
Italian yachts are among the most coveted vessels in South Florida — and among the most demanding to maintain correctly. Azimut, Ferretti, Riva, Pershing, and Itama are engineered to European standards that differ significantly from American-built vessels: metric hardware throughout, proprietary electrical architectures, Italian-language technical documentation, and components sourced exclusively from European suppliers.
Many general marine technicians in South Florida lack the specific experience these vessels require. Using incorrect parts, misreading European wiring diagrams, or applying American service intervals to Italian-spec engines can cause damage that is expensive to reverse. Our team has direct, hands-on experience maintaining Azimut and Ferretti yachts and understands the nuances that make these vessels perform at their best.
We maintain relationships with European OEM parts suppliers, which means we can source the correct components — not substitutes — without the extended lead times that catch other shops off guard. If you own an Italian yacht and have struggled to find a service provider with genuine expertise, we'd welcome the conversation.
What sets Italian yachts apart
European engineering specs
Metric fasteners, European torque specs, and Italian-standard electrical systems require technicians trained on these platforms — not adapted from American practices.
Proprietary components
Azimut and Ferretti use components sourced from Italian and European suppliers. Substituting American equivalents can void warranties and cause system incompatibilities.
Italian technical documentation
Service manuals and wiring diagrams are often available only in Italian. Accurate diagnosis requires the ability to read and interpret these documents correctly.
European OEM parts sourcing
We maintain direct relationships with European parts suppliers to source genuine OEM components with minimal lead time — keeping your vessel out of the water for as little time as possible.
Common questions
Yacht Maintenance FAQ
How often should a yacht be serviced in Fort Lauderdale?
Most manufacturers recommend engine service every 100–150 hours or annually, whichever comes first. In South Florida's year-round boating climate, annual service is a minimum — many active owners opt for semi-annual checks given the high usage hours and salt environment.
Do you work on all engine brands?
Yes. Our technicians are trained on all major marine engine brands including Volvo Penta, Caterpillar, MTU, Cummins, Yanmar, Mercury, and MAN. We service both diesel and gasoline engines across all vessel sizes.
Do you have experience maintaining Azimut and Ferretti yachts?
Yes — this is an area of specific expertise for us. Azimut and Ferretti yachts are built to European specifications with metric hardware, proprietary electrical systems, and Italian-sourced components. We have hands-on experience maintaining these vessels and source OEM parts through our European supplier network to ensure every service is performed to factory standards.
Can you create a custom maintenance schedule for my vessel?
Absolutely. We review your vessel's make, model, engine hours, usage patterns, and manufacturer documentation to build a tailored maintenance calendar. You receive reminders and detailed service reports after every visit.
Do you come to my marina or do I need to haul out?
Most routine maintenance is performed dockside at your marina — no haul-out required. For work that requires the vessel out of the water, we coordinate with local boatyards and manage the entire process on your behalf.
What does seasonal commissioning include?
Commissioning covers engine start-up and systems check, battery inspection and charging, through-hull and seacock inspection, safety equipment review, bilge pump test, navigation electronics check, and a full walk-through to ensure the vessel is ready for active use.
