Yacht Refit & Maintenance in Bodrum, Turkey

Puravida Yachts refits, restores and maintains yachts at our 1,100 m² shipyard in İçmeler, Bodrum. The same in-house teams that build our new yachts — engineering, joinery, electrical, composites and paint — bring existing vessels up to current standards, inside and out.

Why Refit Your Yacht With a Shipbuilder

Refit and maintenance sit alongside new construction as a core part of our yard's work — not a sideline.

Because we build yachts from the keel up, our team understands how every system fits together. Naval engineering, carpentry and joinery, electrical and hybrid systems, composites, paint and finishing all work side by side under one roof in Bodrum, so your refit is planned and managed by one team instead of being coordinated across outside subcontractors.

In 2023 we acquired Torini, a 30 m (98 ft) gulet originally built in 2000, and carried out a full refit at our own shipyard, with interiors by the Swiss studio K Interiors. She now charters in Turkey and Greece with a professional crew.

Our naval architect has prepared registration paperwork for close to 200 yachts and vessels and prepares Lloyd's classification projects — valuable experience when a refit involves structural changes, re-registration or class documentation.
