Superyacht Rebuild: A Second Life, Better Than Newbuild
We don’t just restore yachts; we rebuild them into something better than new. A superyacht rebuild gives a proven, seaworthy vessel a second life: stronger, smarter, and tailored to modern standards of luxury and performance. Unlike a newbuild that starts from zero, a rebuild begins with a trusted foundation, eliminating early-stage design risks and mechanical uncertainties. Every detail is carefully reimagined to deliver a yacht that outperforms its original form; reborn to exceed expectations.
Built on Experience, Designed for the Future
A superyacht rebuild isn’t only about visual transformation; it’s about precision engineering, performance upgrades, and sustainable thinking. We preserve up to 80% of the existing structure and materials, reducing environmental impact while enhancing efficiency. This isn’t just eco-conscious; it’s smarter. Our work is rooted in decades of marine experience and craftsmanship, ensuring every component has already been tested at sea.
By avoiding the unknowns of new construction, we deliver a faster, more refined result; free from newbuild errors, and fine-tuned for the next generation of luxury cruising.
Where Timeless Meets Technological
In our Tuzla/Istanbul facility, each rebuild project is a fusion of tradition and innovation. From hull extensions and structural enhancements to completely new interiors and advanced systems, we tailor every aspect of the yacht to your vision. Whether you're preserving a legacy or transforming a classic into a futuristic icon, our team ensures seamless integration of technology, design, and performance.
This is more than rebuilding; it’s the art of the second life, where a yacht’s past meets its most brilliant future.
Why Rebuild Better Than Newbuild?
Faster Delivery
Rebuild projects are significantly faster than new builds, as the structural foundation is already in place. No need to start from scratch, just rebirth, refined.
Cost Effective
Rebuilding a proven platform is more budget-friendly than building new, with fewer unexpected costs and maximum value for investment.
Seaworthiness
A rebuild is based on a vessel with known performance and stability. No surprises; just enhanced reliability and optimized upgrades.
Preservation of Historical Value
Keep the spirit, soul, and story of a classic yacht alive while reinventing it with modern technologies and luxury. It’s more than restoration; it's legacy reborn.
100% Efficiency
We upgrade every system for maximum efficiency, using tested infrastructure that ensures no design flaws or early-phase issues like in newbuilds.
Reduce Environmental Impact
Rebuilding uses up to 80% of the existing yacht, minimizing waste and raw material consumption. It’s sustainability in its most luxurious form.

The Story of a Rebuild Project
M/Y Newal
