WHO WE ARE
​
We are Bravo Yacht Services, a team of mechanical and electrical engineers, and experienced seamen with technical careers built across commercial shipping and luxury yacht systems.
We are based in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, and we specialize in the technical systems that keep yachts performing at their best.
We focus on vessels between 40 feet and 150 feet. Superyachts, Mega yachts, and Performance motor yachts, predominantly European built. Our strongest relationships are with European OEM manufacturers and the yacht builders that use their systems: Ferretti, Riva, Custom Line, Wally, Pershing, Sanlorenzo, Sunseeker, Azimut, Benetti, Galeon, Horizon, Mangusta, Ocean Alexander, Prestige, Jeanneau, Beneteau, Princess, Vanquish, Windy, and American built yachts such as Hatteras, Viking, Westport, Trinity, Sea Ray among others.
That connection to European engineering is not incidental, it shapes how we approach every job, with the sensitivity and precision those systems demand.
What makes us different is not just what we know. It is how much we care about getting it right.
WHAT WE DO
​
In five years of operation, we have completed service work on more than 600 vessels across South Florida and the East Coast, but also from Key West to New York and the Great Lakes. That volume of exposure, across that many vessels and systems, is what builds real diagnostic capability. Our engineers and technicians have worked on vessel systems across multiple continents. That breadth of hands-on experience is what makes our service genuinely different.
We offer the full range of technical services a vessel requires throughout its life:
​
— Technical Inspections & Pre-Purchase Surveys
— Pre-Season and Annual Inspections
— Sea Trials and Performance Verification
— Discovery Inspections, Fault-Finding & Diagnostics
— Refit — Major and Minor
— General Repairs and Overhauls
— Retrofit Installations of Complete Systems
— OEM Warranty Services
— Vessel Systems Commissioning
— Preventive & Predictive Maintenance on Systems
— Year-Round, Professionally Managed Multi-System Drydock Refit Programs
— Parts Program
​
We are certified and trained by the OEM manufacturers whose systems we service. That means when we complete a job, the technical report is accepted by the brand, and the warranty stays intact.
We believe OEM training and certification is not optional. It is the foundation of the confidence and trust our clients place in us.

OUR COMMITMENT
​
Quality and reliability are not goals. They are the standard we hold ourselves to on every single job — whether it is a pre-purchase inspection or a full year-long drydock refit program. That consistency is the foundation of every lasting relationship we have built with our clients, their captains, and their crews
