Boat Engine/Marine Engineering
The key to an engine operating at maximum efficiency is regular maintenance. Regular servicing of all marine engineering systems is essential to ensure that your boat or yacht performs safely, reliably, and to optimum capacity.
It’s also vital that your engine and generator are installed correctly by the right people who understand the essentials such as sound attenuation and vibration control as well as manufacturer’s requirements on exhaust back pressure, correct raw water cooling and anti-syphon control.

 

BoatMasters offers a comprehensive marine engineering service including the supply, installation, repair, and overhaul of all engines and equipment. With extensive experience of all types of craft and their systems, we will confidently recommend and install the most suited equipment for your application.

BoatMasters first priority is for your boat to be reliable & safe

We highly recommend a pre-arranged yearly service plan (boat inspection, repairs/installations/upgrades, review) to ensure reliable operation of the engine and all on-board mechanical systems. This is the best way to reduce the risk of engineering failure or malfunction. During all scheduled works, your personal service manager will work to make sure your yacht is in top condition.

 

Annual and/or common mechanical works may include: Outboard Engine Service/installation, Repair and Repower, Heat exchanger, transmission cooler, cooling system, Accessory Installation, Refrigeration, Air Conditioning, Water maker, plumbing and Sanitation Systems, Water Jet Systems, Computer Diagnostic Testing, Boat Trailer Repair/Maintenance and more.

Already have a bow or stern thruster and it requires servicing? BoatMasters work closely with all leading manufacturers in order to supply the ones of the highest quality, install them properly and maintain them effectively.

 

Stern Gear
As with most moving parts, stern gear operates out of sight in a relatively harsh environment. Leaking seals, excessive grease usage, vibration and noise are some of the most common problems to deal with. It is crucial to immediately manage any changes to avoid further issues with engine mounts and drive couplings. BoatMasters has a great deal of experience when it comes to installing, maintaining and replacing stern gear, stern glands, thrust bearings and CV joint/flexible couplings.

Bottom Painting
Bottom painting protects the hull against growth that can affect the performance and durability of your boat. It also helps hinder corrosion and improves the flow of the water passed the hull. BoatMasters only uses the highest quality, specialty paint to ensure your boat has the maximum protection according to it’s specifications. Rest assure we can fix your hull, whether it has discoloration, scratches, dents or holes!

 

Osmosis Barrier Coatings
Special Barrier coatings are applied to the bottom of boats to stop Osmosis Blistering.

Pre-buy inspections 

BoatMasters pre buy inspection_v04

A BoatMasters inspection before you buy will save you time, money and stress

  • Get our professional opinion before you proceed. We will do a full check for you.
  • Detailed advices are provided to novices and experienced boaters not only in Greece but throughout the world if required. If you are importing a boat/motor yacht, let BoatMasters take the guesswork out of your transaction. We know the ropes, the tricky costs and the traps.
  • Before you pay a deposit, get our professional feedback. This is the safe and smart way to buy a boat.
  • We inspect any type of hulls and motors providing comprehensive reports for all purposes. Oil analysis and compression testings are also carried out where required.

Remember that

  • Surveyors can only do a visual check of the boats. When they see the crack, they will try to summarize how it happened.
  • BoatMasters get down to the physical dirty business . We cut the crack and open it to tell you exactly how it happened. We also tell you what to do and how much it would cost.

Deliveries & Dry docking

boat masters delivery and dry docking_01b

BoatMasters will professionally relocate your boat on both short coastal passages and across the seas of the world.

We supply a minimum of 3 crew depending on the boat size/complexity. Crew members are being matched according with their hands on experience and qualifications (each of our professionals specializes in different deliveries: cruiser yachts, classic ones, super yachts, sailing boats, etc)

 

In the need of sailing or motor yacht delivery? Maybe an assisted yacht delivery or a holiday delivery? Just an instruction how to relocate it on your own?
We are here to help!

It will be our pleasure to discuss the possibilities with you. Our services may also include a full demo/instructions of the boat and it’s equipment (manoeuvring, sail or engine trim, navigation/radars, night cruising/sailing, electronic systems, anchoring, itinerary planning and more..)

 

Delivery service consists of the following main parameters:

  • Pre-delivery planning / preparation.
    This is about gathering all required info for the specific task and making everything clear on a single A4 paper (yes, this still works better than any other method!), then analyzing the data in detail (checklists, functions, issues) and then finalizing the agreement. BoatMasters team will spend at least 1 full day checking all systems and preparing the boat for passage, even for short deliveries. A detailed checklist covering the functions & fittings is conducted. Any issue will be reported. Woodwork and upholstery below decks are usually encased in protective cladding to avoid any inadvertent damage while at sea in rough conditions.

 

  • During delivery
    Crew will complete the passage in the budgeted timescale. For sailboats, if the wind does not help, the engine will be used to ensure that the delivery is not delayed. Owners are always welcomed to join the delivery although that will be a routine trip with only brief stops as necessary for fuel, provisions or to avoid severe weather.

 

  • BoatMasters policy is to cruise/sail conservatively and not over-stress sails, rigs or engines. And, if the skipper decides that the weather conditions are too rough to proceed then the yacht will head for shelter. On completion of each delivery the captain/skipper completes a detailed condition report.

 

  • We ensure that you are kept informed of progress during the passage.

 

  • Customs/Clearance documents & procedures: BoatMasters has all the necessary experience of moving boats in many different locations. We are familiar with the paperwork needed and the step by step process.

 

  • Transparent pricing
    It all starts with a transparent quotation, giving you a complete summary with all variations. BoatMasters will provide a detailed analysis to make sure you have the whole picture of the delivery costs.

Hauling large trawlers, small runabouts, and everything in between can be scheduled by appointment only, so that we can give each & every boat our full attention.
