A


fter 45 years of dedicated yacht maintenance, Hamble Yacht Services Refit and


Repair (HYSRR) has merged with the Ancasta Group’s commissioning and after-sales team, to create Ancasta Yacht Services (AYS), an all- encompassing yacht repair, service and support business. Expanding upon Ancasta’s


comprehensive after-sales services, which include the supply of spare parts, the merging of HYSRR’s skilled refit and repair workforce with Ancasta’s proficient operations team will make it even easier for owners to manage and care for their boats. Ancasta now has the ability to


seamlessly support new and existing clients throughout the lifecycle of their boat-ownership. Not only can a boat be purchased and sold under the Ancasta brand, but it can now also be maintained, repaired and upgraded via AYS. “We’re very excited about the
