Upgrade your dream-
New Lease of Life
From technical upgrades, redesign, layout changes or even a complete overhaul and rebuild. Our refit team has been breathing a new lease of life into superyachts for decades. And whether that has been for one of our own Amels returning to the place they call home, calling on those who were involved in the original build for all their knowledge and expertise or for a yacht built elsewhere, the end result has always been the same. A professional, high-quality Dutch pedigree refit at unrivalled facilities adding value and longevity.
Building with Refit in Mind
"A refit has the ability to completely transform a yacht. To redesign or rebuild an existing yacht to a client's exact dream. Bringing refit to the table with the Owner and Captain early on, to better understand long term expectations and yacht usage, can contribute significantly to a successful refit process."
Michel Coens – Head of Refit & Services
All the Facilities
"Our extensive dry dock and quayside facilities in the Netherlands mean that the possibilities for refit projects are huge. We can even house the largest of the world's superyacht fleet. We have a dedicated refit team for sales, design and engineering, project management and production meaning your project is always in expert hands."
Juul Back - Sales Manager Refit
A Place to Call Home
"We provide a unique service that goes beyond warranty or refit. Be it a small or big job, we are always happy to assist and welcome our clients back. That so many of our fleet choose to return to us for refit and service work speaks volumes. Our shipyard will always be a place they can call home."

ALBATROSS
The 72.2-metre Delta-built superyacht ALBATROSS is currently undergoing a large-scale Refit at our facilities. Originally delivered in 2016, redelivery is scheduled for 2024 when her significant transformation will be revealed.
HERE COMES THE SUN
HERE COMES THE SUN returned to our yard for a rebuild in 2020. A complete transformation in size and style in just 1 year. The now 89-metre Amels boasts a stunning brand-new colour scheme and numerous modifications including an extended Sun Deck aft now with helicopter landing area, extended Bridge Deck Aft accommodation to allow for 2 VIP suites with exterior balconies and an extended Main Deck Aft providing a larger beach club, spa facilities and a large 7-metre swimming pool.
Refit Testimonial
"For a refit of this scale, the challenge comes from keeping your eye on the end result from a year out. It’s such a long time to work across. Keeping everyone moving towards it, everyone happy and just towards that final goal is a real challenge. The quantity of work that’s been covered is immense. So to achieve it in a year is a real credit to the shipyard."
Captain Colin Boyle
PAPA
The Amels 180 PAPA returned to our Vlissingen City yard in April 2022 for a short but productive 2-month refit. This 55-metre (180ft) Amels Limited Editions, which was originally delivered in 2019 received, amongst other works, a number of technical and interior upgrades ready for her busy charter season.
