REFIT WITHOUT COMPROMISE
Located in the growing superyacht hub on the island of Malta, Manoel Island Yacht Yard Ltd. (MIYY) is one of the oldest established yacht repair yards in the Mediterranean
Throughout the years MIYY has enjoyed respect for its commitment, reliability, and workmanship, with a steady flow
of demanding clientele helping this yard evolve and meet their clients’ specialised demands. With a mantra of Quality, Value and Excellence the projects are undertaken with dedication and professionalism, which is now synonymous with MIYY.
Manoel Island Yacht Yard originally formed part of the British Admiralty shipyards in Malta, dating back to the early part of the 1800s. Those traditional values and skills have been carried forward in the way they approach the work today – adopting modern techniques but sticking to the core principles.
This approach is underpinned by an ‘anything is possible’ attitude and keeping their promises to the many customers they have worked with over the years. All of which adds up to a friendly working environment that their long-term customers gravitate to time after time.
“I duly recommend Manoel Island Yacht Yard for performing repairs and refit in view of the excellent service and quality achieved by their teams with world-class know-how.”
OLIVIER LAVERGNE, Captain M/Y Blue Shadow
