the sole purpose of refitting and repairing superyachts, KRM Shipyards specialise in servicing superyachts in the 30 to 40 metre range but is capable of handling craft up to 50 metres.

Shipyards with a good reputation often acknowledge that history has played a major role in their modern day success servicing superyachts
Some modern day facilities are not even shipyards in the true sense of the word. They are instead clusters of
nautical
excellence and Bordeaux Superyacht Refit in the north west of France is a prime example. Developing refit and maintenance activity among superyachts along the Atlantic seaboard is the main mission for Bordeaux Superyachts Refit, an association of local shipyards, marine equipment manufacturers and companies. The nautical cluster provides and promotes on-site hosting of contractors, in order to position Bordeaux and the Nouvelle Aquitaine Region as a superyacht stopover, refit and maintenance destination for superyachts.
A 10 million euro investment has been made available for the development of the refitting and yacht repair activities and this includes the recent renovation of the drydock known as Bassins à Flot ship repair hub and is just part of the many major strategic projects being spearheaded by the Atlantic Port of Bordeaux. The local authority realises that encouraging and supporting this initiative will be a boost for local income and geographically, the
location is perfect for yachts crossing to the Americas or those just looking for a trusted alternative to the southern French yards.
Perhaps one of the newest entrants into the market is the 300t Origins shipyard, a dedicated refit facility for superyachts in the 30to 50 metre range. Created by MB92 La Ciotat shipyard, the facility, as the name suggests, is dedicated to maintaining and refitting yachts up to 300 tonnes. The facilities include 14 spaces on the hard, 4 of which are fitted with keel pits, as well as a 50 metre paint cabin.
Ben Mennem, President of MB92 La Ciotat explained this new venture: “The 30-50 metre segment is our historic area of expertise and requires a different approach. In order to cater for this smaller, yet just as discerning size range, we decided to create a dedicated facility that is able to provide our clients with a ‘boutique’ experience to maintain and refit their yachts. As such, I am very happy to appoint one of our longest serving team members, Philippe Escousse, who is a seasoned skipper and
