Yacht Refit Services


Electrical and Electronic
Electrical and electronic systems are at the core of vessel operations, directly impacting safety, reliability, and efficiency. Precision in every task is essential, from correct fuse allocation and cable specification to secure installation of navigation and communication systems. Even minor errors can compromise performance and safety, which is why our work strictly adheres to international maritime standards and classification requirements.
At IPPS, we combine certification with extensive experience, ensuring flawless installation, repairs, and system upgrades. Our services cover the full spectrum of marine electrics and electronics, including rewiring, troubleshooting, and comprehensive health checks. We also supply and integrate leading marine-grade brands, guaranteeing durable and efficient performance under demanding conditions.
With a commitment to technical excellence and meticulous execution, IPPS safeguards your vessel’s electrical integrity while delivering solutions built on proven expertise.
Hydraulics
Hydraulic systems are fundamental to modern yachts, providing power, precision, and efficiency across critical onboard functions. When properly designed, installed, and maintained, they deliver reliable performance with minimal intervention. However, due to the sensitivity of hydraulic components, even small issues such as contamination, misalignment, or seal wear can escalate into significant failures, making expert handling essential.
At IPPS, we deliver complete hydraulic services, from preventive maintenance and troubleshooting to precision repairs and system overhauls. Our expertise covers hydraulically operated gangways, sliding doors, thrusters, steering systems, and custom-engineered applications. For major works, systems are disassembled, refurbished, and reassembled in our dedicated workshop facilities under controlled conditions, ensuring accuracy and consistency.
By applying proven methods, high-quality components, and technical expertise, IPPS guarantees the long-term reliability and performance of your vessel’s hydraulic systems.


GRP and Gelcoat Repairs
GRP and gelcoat structures are essential to the integrity and finish of every yacht, requiring specialized expertise for both structural strength and surface restoration. From reinforcing bulkheads for autopilot drives to creating durable foundations for anchor windlasses or repairing surfaces after equipment modifications, precision and technical skill are critical. Improper repairs can compromise performance and aesthetics, making professional execution vital.
At IPPS, we provide comprehensive GRP and gelcoat repair services, combining proven techniques with marine-grade materials to ensure durability under demanding conditions. Our work focuses on delivering seamless finishes that restore both functionality and appearance, leaving minimal or no evidence of prior damage.
With decades of hands-on experience, IPPS guarantees that every repair upholds structural integrity while achieving an impeccable surface finish, preserving both safety and value.
Dock Assistance
Effective planning and management are critical for successful yacht refits and repairs. At IPPS, we provide structured dock assistance tailored for captains and engineers supervising their own projects. Our office-based support ensures progress tracking, budget control, and adherence to technical standards, enabling the crew to maintain full oversight of the refit process.
When required, IPPS can assume full project management responsibility. This includes preparing detailed cost estimates, tendering to shipyards and contractors, negotiating agreements, and supervising works on-site. With technical expertise and proven methodology, we guarantee efficiency, transparency, and consistent quality throughout every refit or repair.


Project Management
With over two decades of refit expertise in the European market, IPPS delivers reliable results through structured project management and technical precision. Our approach combines transparent contracts aligned with ICOMIA standards, proven supplier networks, and meticulous supervision, ensuring every project is completed to the highest quality.
Using advanced project management software such as ASANA, we provide clients with mobile access and real-time updates, guaranteeing full transparency at every stage. This system allows captains, owners, and engineers to monitor progress, budget adherence, and scheduling with complete confidence.
At IPPS, our experience and commitment transform complex refit projects into seamless operations, blending efficiency, craftsmanship, and accountability for outstanding results.
Teak Repairs
A well-maintained teak deck combines elegance with functionality, providing a secure, non-slip surface while protecting the vessel from external elements. Regular care is essential, as even small defects such as splits, leaks, or lifting can compromise both safety and aesthetics.
At IPPS, our skilled shipwrights and joiners specialize in restoring or replacing yacht decks with precision. We work with teak, lignia, and advanced synthetic alternatives, delivering tailored solutions for each vessel. Our services range from detailed re-caulking to full structural repairs or complete deck replacement, ensuring durability, resilience, and an impeccable finish that stands the test of time.


Polishing
Polishing is often misunderstood as a quick cosmetic solution, but improper techniques can accelerate surface degradation. A simple cut and wax may restore shine temporarily, yet within months oxidation resurfaces. Repeated use of harsh compound-based polishes further reduces the already thin gelcoat or paint layers, eventually requiring costly alternatives such as repainting, wrapping, or full gelcoat renewal.
At IPPS, we approach polishing as part of long-term surface preservation. Proper restoration begins with complete oxidation removal, avoiding oil-heavy waxes that only mask defects and promote faster deterioration. Our focus is on minimizing abrasion while applying advanced protective coatings with UV resistance.
By emphasizing prevention over repetition, IPPS ensures lasting gloss, structural protection, and reduced maintenance cycles, safeguarding your vessel’s finish for years to come.
Painting
High-quality painting is critical to both the protection and appearance of a yacht. At IPPS, we provide comprehensive painting solutions, ranging from localized touch-ups to complete refinishing projects. Every stage is managed with precision, from scaffold and containment setup to the controlled application of coatings that ensure durability in the harsh marine environment.
Our specialists address minor imperfections with the same care as large-scale applications, guaranteeing a uniform finish that enhances both aesthetics and service life. With advanced techniques and marine-grade materials, IPPS delivers paintwork that combines visual excellence with long-term protection.


Wrapping
Vinyl wrapping offers a fast, versatile, and cost-effective solution for yacht surface renewal. Beyond aesthetics, it provides long-lasting protection against UV exposure and harsh marine elements, with durability of up to eight years.
At IPPS, we deliver complete yacht wrapping services that combine efficiency with striking results. An 80-foot hull can be transformed within days, while a full-color change on a 30–60m yacht is achievable within weeks. This minimizes downtime compared to traditional painting or refinishing.
By choosing yacht wrapping, owners benefit from reduced maintenance cycles, enhanced protection, and a distinctive, modern finish.
Engine
At IPPS, we understand that reliable engine performance is essential to yacht safety and operation. From routine filter replacements and fuel supply checks to full servicing and complete engine rebuilds, our engineers deliver comprehensive solutions tailored to every vessel’s needs. Seasonal maintenance, particularly during winter months, is strongly recommended to ensure uninterrupted performance throughout the year.
Our team specializes in servicing a wide range of engines, including MAN, Caterpillar, Volvo, MTU, Perkins, Honda, Mercury, Cummins, Detroit, and Yanmar. With extensive marine engineering expertise, we perform meticulous inspections and ensure no detail is overlooked. Supported by a robust global supply chain, IPPS sources and delivers engine parts quickly and cost-effectively, even via air freight when required.
