Get the best Yacht refit service in Mallorca
If you’re looking for a yacht refit in Mallorca, there are a few things you need to know to get the best possible service.
First, it’s important to do your research. There are many yacht refit companies in Mallorca, so it’s important to compare prices and services before you make a decision. Look for a company with a good reputation and experience in the type of refit you need.
Second, be clear about your expectations. What do you want to achieve with your refit? Do you need basic repairs, or are you looking for a more comprehensive overhaul? Once you know what you want, you can communicate your needs to the refit company.
Third, get everything in writing. This includes the scope of work, the timeline, and the cost. It’s important to have a clear understanding of what you’re getting for your money.
How a yacht refit works at PSB Marine, step by step
A refit goes well when everyone knows what is being done, when and at what cost. This is the process we follow with every project, from the first visit to the day your boat goes back in the water.
- Inspection on board. We start with a visit to your boat at our Santa Ponsa or Puerto Portals base, or wherever she is berthed. We go through your wish list and the technical needs together.
- Scope of work, in writing. After the inspection our engineers prepare an itemised quotation and a project timeline with clear milestones. Nothing starts until you have approved it.
- Planning and booking. We agree where the work will be done and when. The quiet months are the best time for major jobs, because the boat is not in use and the work is finished well before the season.
- Collection and lift-out. Our own skipper can collect the boat from her berth and take her to the boatyard, where she is lifted out and pressure-washed.
- The works. Each trade works to the agreed list: hull, teak, electrical systems, interiors, electronics and mechanics. We coordinate the contractors and the parts, so you deal with one team.
- Control and reports. You receive regular progress reports and a call when something needs your decision. If we find something extra, we tell you with photos and explain the options before going ahead.
- Testing and delivery. We check the work, and where it applies carry out sea trials. The boat is launched and delivered to her berth on the day you ask for, cleaned and ready.

Refit work we carry out
PSB Marine covers the whole range of work on motor yachts, so one team can plan and deliver a complete project. These are the main areas.

Hull and deck repairs, structural fibreglass (GRP) repairs and complete topside painting. We prepare and apply new antifouling, and polish and finish marine surfaces with the best gloss polish products available. Read more in our article on antifouling for yachts in Mallorca.
Teak decking and marine carpentry
Installation of teak decking and repairs, and marine carpentry in general, from deck to interior joinery.
Marine electrical systems
Electrical maintenance, repairs and upgrades, from batteries and distribution to lighting. We also supply and install high performance underwater lights, see Lumishore.
Interior and exterior refurbishment
Refreshing cabins, salon and exterior areas: upholstery, carpentry repairs and customisation, so that the boat looks and feels as you want it to.
Navigation electronics and controls
Our team handles electronics and navigation support, including the Yacht Controller wireless manoeuvring systems, which work on any boat with electronic engine controls, whether the transmission is by shaft or IPS.
Engines and mechanical work
Service and repairs of the best marine engine brands, such as Volvo Penta, MAN and Caterpillar, as well as outboard engines.
Stabilizers and equipment
Installation and service of Seakeeper stabilizers, passerelles, cranes and hydraulic platforms. If you are considering stabilizers, read our guide to the best yacht stabilizers and see Seakeeper in Mallorca and Besenzoni.
Our facilities in Puerto Portals and Santa Ponsa
We work from two technical bases, in the shipyard of Puerto Portals (Calvià) and in Santa Ponsa, where our workshops and indoor storage are in the Son Bugadellas industrial estate. The yard in Son Bugadellas is a short run from the Port of Palma, Puerto Portals, Port Adriano and Puerto de Andratx, which is why collecting and returning boats takes so little time.
- Indoor storage in Son Bugadellas: a covered, lit and ventilated shed for boats of up to 18 metres, where the work can be done out of the weather. See our winter storage service.
- Technical base in Puerto Portals: in the shipyard of the marina, close to boats berthed in Calvià. Our page on boat and yacht services in Puerto Portals has the details.
Between seasons we also look after the boat. Our gardiennage service keeps the yacht checked and reported on while she waits for her next project, and our yacht management service covers the planning and the follow-up of projects.

We specialize in retrofitting these advanced stabilization systems into existing hulls, managing the entire process from structural reinforcement and electrical integration to final sea trials in local waters.
4. Can you manage a full refit project from start to finish, or do I need to hire external contractors?
We offer complete project management for your yacht refit. Our in-house project managers supervise every stage of the timeline, coordinate specialized trades, manage parts sourcing, and ensure stringent quality control. You will have a single point of contact who will provide regular progress reports, saving you the hassle of dealing with multiple independent contractors in Mallorca.
5. When is the best time of year to schedule a yacht refit in Mallorca?
The ideal period to undertake a refit or major winter works is between October and April, during the yachting off-season in the Balearic Islands. Scheduling your project during these months guarantees that all structural, mechanical, and painting works are completed well ahead of the summer season, ensuring your vessel is fully commissioned and ready by May.
6. What size and type of vessels can you accommodate for a refit?
Thanks to our multi-site capabilities, we can handle projects for a wide range of vessels. In our private 2,300-square-meter secure indoor facility in Calvià, we accommodate center consoles, day boats, and yacht tenders up to 18 meters. For larger motor yachts and superyachts, we manage the refit projects directly on the hard standing areas or pits at STP Shipyard Palma or other major island refit yards.
7. How do you guarantee the quality of parts and materials used in the refit?
We strictly use marine-grade materials of the highest industry standard and source original OEM parts for all engine and mechanical refits (Volvo Penta, Mercury, MAN, MTU, etc.). Furthermore, all our structural modifications, teak work, and complex engineering tasks follow strict classification society guidelines to preserve or elevate your vessel’s market value and safety standards.
8. Can you upgrade or modernize the onboard electronics and navigation systems?
Absolutely. Our marine electronics department specializes in upgrading outdated helm stations into modern "glass bridges." We install and integrate the latest navigation displays, radar systems, autopilot units, VHF radios, and custom audio/visual setups from leading brands like Garmin, Simrad, Raymarine, and Fusion, tailored to your specific cruising needs in the Mediterranean.
9. Do your refit services include interior upholstery and carpentry?
Yes, a vital part of our refit offering is cosmetic modernization. We handle interior and exterior upholstery upgrades using weather-resistant fabrics (such as Sunbrella or Silvertex), marine carpentry repairs, custom furniture adjustments, and specialized interior vinyl wrapping to completely refresh your cabins, salon, or flybridge layout without the need for structural teardowns.
10. How can I request a quote and project timeline for my yacht refit?
You can initiate your refit consultation by contacting our Santa Ponsa or Puerto Portals offices. We will arrange an initial on-board inspection of your vessel to discuss your specific wish list and technical requirements. Following the assessment, our engineering team will provide a detailed, itemized quote alongside a realistic project timeline with clear milestones.
