Ship repair yard Gibdock has launched Gibdock Yachting, a new division dedicated to superyacht maintenance and refit services, as part of its efforts to expand in a growing market.
The new division will leverage Gibdock’s experience in servicing superyachts while collaborating with BWA Yachting, a global leader in yachting services.
John Barnard, Gibdock’s commercial director, emphasised the division’s focus on tailored service. “From routine maintenance to large-scale refits, Gibdock Yachting will provide the professionalism and time management expected of a top-tier repair yard,” Barnard said, adding that each project is customised to meet clients’ specific requirements.
Gibdock Yachting will offer services ranging from hull and propulsion system repairs to interior refurbishments, supported by an extensive network of specialised subcontractors. Through its partnership with BWA Yachting, the division plans to deliver comprehensive solutions to meet the evolving demands of superyacht owners, managers, and crews.
Gibraltar’s temperate climate and strategic location at the gateway to the Mediterranean will be advantageous for year-round operation, particularly for yachts transitioning between the Mediterranean and Caribbean seasons. Barnard also highlighted the yard’s proximity to Gibraltar’s international airport, just 15 minutes away.
