Boat maintenance in Ibiza: dry dock work and dry winterising

Annual care cycle

Winterising, Storage and Dry Dock for Vessels in Ibiza

Optimal summer performance is built out of season. Our boat maintenance service in Ibiza is designed to protect your vessel's lifespan during the winter months. We take care of all the logistics, technical management and custody so that the spring launch is a quick, surprise-free process.

Through strategic partnerships and complete dry-dock services, we coordinate complex operations ranging from safe hoisting with a Travelift to storing the vessel in optimal safety conditions:

Winterising and Storage: Thorough flushing of cooling circuits, hibernation of diesel/petrol engines and anti-corrosion protection of internal systems.
Below-the-Waterline Work (Dry Dock): Technical hull cleaning, preventive and corrective osmosis treatments and professional application of high-quality antifouling paint.
Custody and Regular Supervision: Continuous technical monitoring throughout winter of bilge levels, battery bank charge status and internal ventilation to prevent damaging condensation.

Operational Capability on the Island: Specialisation by System

Engine Work: Advanced Diagnostics for High-Power Diesel Systems

Engine breakdown is the most common emergency in high season. We have professional diagnostic software to identify the exact fault in seconds, not hours.

Volvo Penta: Injection, cooling, turbocharger
MAN: Medium/high-power engines
Caterpillar: Industrial-marine propulsion units
Yanmar: Small and medium systems for motorboats

We resolve the dreaded electronic alarms that block navigation. If your engine shows an error code, we come to the berth with full equipment to repair on site.

Electronics Rescue: Immediate Solutions for Navigation Failures

Marine electronic systems (NMEA 2000, Garmin, Raymarine, Cummins Onan generators) are increasingly complex. We offer:

Diagnosis of voltage drops and faulty circuits
Generator repair (Cummins Onan, diesel sets)
NMEA 2000 recalibration and navigation systems
Garmin, Raymarine rescue and advanced chartplotters

We don't let a short circuit or electrical panel fault ruin your trip.

Transmission and Propulsion Repair: IPS, Z-Drive and Propellers

If your vessel loses manoeuvrability, propulsion is the critical factor. We specialise in:

IPS systems: Precision integrated propulsion
Z-Drive sterndrives: Steerable transmission and propellers
Bow thrusters for extreme manoeuvring
Propeller shafts and propulsion mounts

We restore full navigation control before you reach port.

Frequently Asked Questions: Boat Mechanic in Ibiza

How long does an emergency repair take?

We respond within 30-60 minutes if you are in a marina, 2-3 hours if you are at anchor. We carry out on-site diagnostics and repair at the berth where possible. For critical emergencies (propulsion failure, short circuit), we arrange an immediate response.

What if I am anchored off Formentera?

Yes, we attend anchorages off Formentera. We assess the distance and feasibility of the job. In emergencies, we coordinate with your vessel to provide remote technical assistance while we prepare to deploy.

Do you carry spare parts on emergency call-outs?

Yes. The mobile workshop carries critical components (hoses, coolers, injectors, fuses, relays). If we need a specific spare part, we source it from port within 2-4 hours at most.

Do you offer preventive maintenance?

Yes. We offer annual maintenance plans for the engine, generator and electrical systems. Preventing breakdowns is 3-5 times cheaper than repairing them in high season. Most owners take out an annual plan for peace of mind.

Do you operate in September, October and out of season?

Yes. We operate all year round. Many owners rely on us for pre-winterising checks, low-season repairs and spring pre-departure inspections. Winter maintenance is crucial so that your boat is ready in June.

Which engine brands do you repair?

Specialists in Volvo Penta, MAN, Caterpillar and Yanmar. We also repair Cummins Onan generators and electronic navigation systems (Garmin, Raymarine, NMEA 2000). If your engine is another brand, just ask us.

What does your winter boat maintenance plan include?

Our boat maintenance service in Ibiza for winter (out of season) includes the complete winterising and storage process. We flush engines and generators, drain fresh-water circuits prone to freezing, apply marine corrosion-inhibitor sprays, carry out monthly checks of batteries and bilges, and manage the technical dry dock for the application of antifouling paint and gelcoat polishing before the new season.

Do you have the technical capacity for large yacht repair?

Yes. Yacht repair in Ibiza requires specific qualifications that our technical team holds. We are qualified and certified to work on high-power marine diesel systems (MAN, Caterpillar, Volvo Penta), complex electronic diagnostics over NMEA 2000 networks, repair of Cummins Onan or Kohler generators, and complete maintenance of mechanical and hydraulic systems and critical auxiliary equipment on board luxury vessels.
