La Seyne-Toulon Shipyard – The start up

State-of-the-art infrastructure on the Mediterranean coast

The brand new shipyard at La Seyne-sur-mer, which opened on November 1st, is a leading example of

the latest state-of-the-art maintenance and refit shipyard. Specializing in the Superyacht segment for

yachts between 30m and 55m, this new facility allows us to accommodate, in the best conditions, and

with the best tools up to 28 yachts at the same time. This huge capability gives Toulon's bay a global

destination for the key players of the sector. The site of La Seyne-Toulon is therefore one of the largest

sites dedicated to the maintenance of 50-meter superyachts in Europe (40,000sqm), demonstrating the

excellence of the French know-how in this area. Located in a very well secured and protected bay, the

shipyard offers a dock of 148m allowing 12 to 14 Superyachts to stay for a technical pit stop or works

afloat. On the ground, thanks to a brand new 560 tonnes travel lift, 12 to 14 Superyachts can be hauled

out for major refits or class registrations as examples. A 35 tonnes crane completes the list of tools

available and a team of 40 workers, from craftsmen to project managers and crew concierge services

assist the clients during their shipyard period. One additional service is also provided by this new

shipyard : a specific marina dedicated to Superyacht tenders, with three floating pontoons allowing them

free access to the sea.

 The first Superyachts haul out

Livadia, 30m Moonen and La Polonia, 47 m Swift ships have already been hauled out for maintenance

operations from the fairing to the recovery of bridge. On the 29th November 2018, we assisted the haul

out of Keri Lee III, a Trinity Yacht. Just 20 days after the opening, the shipyard welcomed it's third

Superyacht, for a period of 4 months of works, which also coincided with her class registration visit.
