Superyacht Refit & Rebuild Yard in Turkey
Refit, rebuild and major upgrade periods carried under one yard structure in Istanbul, with project control, comprehensive in-house workshop services and disciplined redelivery. KRM Yacht supports owners, captains, owner’s representatives and yacht management teams running larger yard periods where technical scope, approvals, workshop flow and handover all have to hold together.
A Yard Built for Refit, Rebuild and Major Upgrade Work
KRM works on projects that have already moved beyond routine maintenance. These periods usually involve mixed scope, deeper access, engineering review, survey exposure, supplier coordination, commissioning and close-out. The value sits in delivery control. Scope, approvals, workshop execution and handover stay inside one readable route.
Recognised for Refit Delivery
Winner of the 2023 Superyacht Business Award for Best Superyacht Refit Yard, KRM Yacht is known for technically demanding scopes, disciplined execution and repeat work from owners' teams, captains and management companies.

A More Controlled Yard Period
Once the yacht is ashore, delivery pressure sits in sequence, approvals, procurement, reporting and daily technical decisions. Those points need one working route or the project starts splitting into parallel conversations.
KRM carries that route through project management, workshop coordination, engineering support, inspection follow-up and handover control so the yard period stays organised from arrival through redelivery.
Why KRM Yacht for Refit & Rebuild?
900-ton Travel Lift
Lifting route matters when haul-out, access and staging are part of the working package rather than a separate yard event.
Commercial Value on Larger Scopes
On larger packages, value is shaped by sequence control, workshop depth, supplier reach and how much of the route stays under one structure.
LRQA-Certified Standards
The yard’s management systems sit behind quality, environmental discipline and occupational health and safety.
In-House Workshop Capability
Core disciplines inside the yard tighten timing, interfaces and follow-on work on larger packages.
ICOMIA Refit Group Member
KRM is the first and only member of the ICOMIA Superyacht Refit Group in Turkey.
Tuzla Supplier Access
Supplier and specialist reach staying close to the yard helps keep live packages moving.
Attendance During Longer Yard Periods
Repeated attendance by crew, surveyors, owner-side teams and visiting specialists works better when local routine stays close to the yard.
Capability for Complex Projects
Some packages cross structural, technical, interior and compliance routes at the same time. Those jobs need one sequence, not parallel islands.
Full Project Visibility
"View Your Yacht" allows owners, captains and management teams to monitor progress while the vessel is in the yard.
A Core Team Built for Refit & Rebuild
KRM’s core team covers project management, engineering coordination, survey follow-up, workshop planning and site execution across refit and rebuild work.
Where scope widens, that core route is reinforced by specialist support already working inside the same reporting logic, approval path and project rhythm.
Facility Depth for Larger Yard Periods
Facility capacity matters when the package carries multiple technical, structural and workshop disciplines at the same time. Yard space, lifting route, quayside access and workshop support all affect how the project is staged.
Being in Tuzla keeps suppliers, specialist services, survey activity and travel logistics close enough to the working day to matter on heavier periods.

Comprehensive In-House Workshop Services
KRM carries the core workshop disciplines needed for serious refit and rebuild work under one yard route. Where specialist subcontractors are needed, they are brought into that route instead of creating a parallel workstream beside it.
Attendance During the Yard Period
Longer yard periods are easier to manage when crew, owner-side teams, surveyors and visiting specialists can stay close enough to the project to attend as required.
Accommodation, airport transfers and day-to-day transport need to stay practical while the vessel is in the yard, especially when attendance is repeated over a longer period.
- Nearby hotel and serviced apartment options
- Practical airport and local transfer access
- A workable setup for repeated survey, supplier and owner-side attendance
Discuss the Next Yard Period with KRM Yacht
If an upcoming refit, rebuild or upgrade period needs early scope review, approval mapping or project control, we can start from the vessel, the likely package boundaries and the working route to handover.
