Complete Yacht Refit Services
A yacht refit encompasses everything needed to restore, upgrade, or transform your vessel. Newmil Marine offers the full range of refinishing and repair services required for comprehensive refit projects, from exterior paint and structural work to interior finishing and specialty applications.
Alexseal Yacht
Painting
Alexseal represents the standard for superyacht exterior coatings. Our Alexseal-certified painters have completed factory training in surface preparation, primer systems, topcoat application, and clear coat finishing. This certification ensures your Alexseal warranty remains valid when Newmil performs the work. We regularly execute full Alexseal paint jobs on large motor yachts requiring precise color matching and flawless finish across extensive hull and superstructure surfaces.
AwlGrip Boat
Painting
AwlGrip polyurethane coatings provide exceptional durability and gloss retention for yacht exteriors. Our teams are experienced with the complete AwlGrip system including primers, topcoats, and clear finishes. AwlGrip is an excellent choice for owners seeking proven performance and a wide color palette, with proper application technique critical to achieving the coating's full protective and aesthetic potential.
Bottom Paint &
Antifouling
Proper bottom paint protects your hull from marine growth and maintains vessel performance. We are SeaHawk certified applicators, trained in bottom preparation, compatible primer systems, and correct antifouling application for different hull materials and cruising conditions. Our crews select and apply the right antifouling system based on your vessel's construction, typical waters, and operational patterns.
Specialty Yacht
Painting
Beyond standard exterior painting, certain yacht areas require specialized finishing techniques. Our crews include painters trained in decorative and functional specialty applications.
Faux Painting for
Boats
Faux painting creates the appearance of wood grain, marble, stone, or other materials on yacht surfaces. This technique transforms fiberglass, metal, or existing finishes into realistic decorative surfaces without the weight, maintenance, or cost of actual materials. Our faux painters execute custom finishes for interior panels, exterior accents, furniture, and architectural elements throughout the vessel.
Jacuzzi & Hot Tub Refinishing
Yacht jacuzzis and hot tubs require specialized coatings that withstand constant water exposure, chemicals, and temperature variations. Our jacuzzi painting service restores faded, stained, or damaged spa surfaces with marine-grade finishes designed for wet environments. We properly prepare existing surfaces, address any structural issues, and apply coatings that bond correctly to fiberglass and acrylic spa shells.
Interior Refinishing & Varnish
Interior yacht spaces demand the same attention to finish quality as exterior surfaces. Our interior refinishing services restore woodwork, cabinetry, trim, and furniture to original condition—or transform interiors with new finishes and color schemes.
Yacht varnish work requires patience, controlled conditions, and proper technique to achieve the deep, clear finish that defines quality marine woodwork. We apply traditional varnishes and modern clear coats to brightwork, teak trim, mahogany panels, and other interior wood surfaces. Each coat is properly prepared, sanded, and built to produce durable, beautiful results that hold up to the marine environment.
Interior painting services cover bulkheads, overheads, lockers, and any painted surfaces throughout the vessel. We match existing colors precisely or execute complete interior color changes according to owner and designer specifications.
Teak Deck Repair & Restoration
Teak decks represent a significant investment and require specialized care to maintain their appearance and structural integrity. Our teak deck services address the full range of maintenance and repair needs, from routine restoration to complete deck replacement.
Teak deck repair includes seam recaulking, plank replacement, plug repair, and addressing delamination from the underlying substrate. We identify the root cause of deck problems—whether failed sealant, water intrusion, or substrate issues—and execute repairs that restore both appearance and function.
For decks beyond repair, we provide full teak deck replacement with proper substrate preparation, waterproof membrane installation, and precision-fitted new teak laid to original patterns or custom designs.
Marine Carpentry
Marine carpentry encompasses structural woodwork, cabinetry, furniture, and custom fabrication throughout the vessel. Our marine carpenters handle projects from minor repairs to major structural modifications as part of comprehensive yacht refits.
Structural carpentry includes core repairs, transom rebuilds, deck reinforcement, and modifications to accommodate new equipment or layout changes. Our carpenters work closely with fiberglass crews when projects involve both wood framing and composite structures.
Interior carpentry services cover cabinetry repair and fabrication, furniture modifications, trim work, and custom built-ins. We match existing joinery styles and wood species to maintain design continuity, or execute complete interior rebuilds according to new specifications.
Fiberglass & Composite Repair
Fiberglass repair addresses structural damage, cosmetic issues, and substrate problems that must be resolved before painting or other finishing work can proceed. Our fiberglass technicians handle everything from minor gelcoat repairs to major structural reconstruction.
Common fiberglass services include gelcoat crack repair, blister treatment, core replacement for water-damaged areas, impact damage repair, and structural reinforcement. We use appropriate resin systems, reinforcement materials, and lamination schedules based on the original construction and repair requirements.
For refits involving modifications, our fiberglass crews fabricate hardtops, sunpad extensions, equipment enclosures, and other custom composite structures integrated with existing vessel construction.
