At an event dedicated to the Italian and international press during the Genoa Boat Show, Apreamare announced the establishment of the "Apreamare Refit" division. The new business unit was created in response to numerous requests over the years from shipowners who expressed the need for a refit and extraordinary maintenance service directly managed by the shipyard.
Apreamare Refit will be dedicated exclusively to Apreamare boats, a unique breed in the nautical world, built with know-how that only Apreamare workers have in depth.
The beating heart of Apreamare Refit will be a warehouse of over 3,000 square meters, located within the main production site in Torre Annunziata. This cutting-edge facility will accommodate up to five boats at the same time for a complete range of restoration and modernization operations. The division, operational since September 1st, 2024, is equipped to meet the needs of the entire Apreamare fleet, which numbers approximately 2,000 boats worldwide.
The Apreamare workforce, renowned for its know-how, experience and precision, will rejuvenate the boats with a full range of services, ranging from teak deck replacement and painting, to changing the upholstery and indoor/outdoor covers and upgrading the navigation systems and on-board systems. Each service will be rendered with the goal of maintaining and increasing the value of the boats while ensuring greater comfort, efficiency and safety during navigation.
"Take your gozzo to the person who built it to restore it to its original splendor" is the motto that guides Apreamare Refit. This one-of-a-kind service is reserved exclusively for Apreamare boats, representing the continuity in tradition and quality that the shipyard has always offered.
Cataldo Aprea, President of Apreamare, comments: "It is a source of pride for me to announce this new refit division, which was born from a market request, and which testifies to the prestige of our boats sailing the world's seas. A special thanks to all the Apreamare workers who work every day with commitment and care so that we can continue to offer a product of the highest quality."
