Astra Nord
Sweet Maryi, 52-metre yacht, after her refit

Refit

The yacht you know,
ready for what comes next.

Superyacht refits from 65 metres, in Athens for the Mediterranean and in Northern Germany for the north.

One point of responsibility

From survey to sea trial.

Our design studio

Interior and outdoor areas renewed by T. Fotiadis Design, within the same refit.

We work for the owner, with the captain at the table from the first survey to the last sea trial.

01 Survey

We see the yacht as she is, with her captain and crew, before anything is promised.

  • Hull, coatings and steelwork, with thickness gauging where it is needed
  • Machinery and systems: running hours, service history, open defects
  • Class and flag: surveys due, outstanding items, certificates
  • The crew’s defect lists and wishes, taken into the scope from day one

02 Plan

One written plan, agreed with the captain before the yacht arrives.

  • Scope item by item, with the specification behind each
  • Facility, slot and schedule, with the milestones that matter
  • Long-lead equipment and materials ordered early
  • Class and flag requirements built in from the start
  • What can be foreseen is planned for; anything new is raised early and decided together
  • Progress reported to the owner and the captain throughout

03 Return to sea

Handed back ready for the season, with us still at your side.

  • Commissioning and testing of every system we touched
  • Sea trials with the captain and crew
  • Class and flag surveys closed, certificates in order
  • Crew familiarised with new and changed equipment
  • Open items followed through after delivery

Questions owners ask

Superyacht refit, answered.

Where does Astra Nord carry out superyacht refits?

Athens is our refit base in the Mediterranean. In the north we work in Stralsund on the Baltic coast, where Ocean Dreamwalker III was delivered in 2025.

Can the interior and exterior be redesigned during a refit?

Yes. T. Fotiadis Design, the studio within our group, renewed the interior and outdoor areas of Sweet Maryi in 2026. Design and works then run under one plan.

What if the scope changes during the work?

We tell you what a change means before it is made, and decide it together. Nothing is added or left out without your word.

Can a refit take my yacht from private to commercial?

Yes. Many owners use the refit for it, and we have done it before. We know the package: the survey is made against the commercial code, the work is agreed with flag and class, and the yacht returns to sea with her commercial certificates. We follow it through to the last approval.

How do you protect the water around the yacht during a refit?

In a refit the risk is the old, not the new: paint dust, rust, old oil and bilge water. Blasting and sanding are contained and the dust is collected, and old oil and bilge water are taken off for proper disposal. The yard and the sea around it stay clean. We work to MARPOL and to the environmental rules of each flag and port.

What is handed over at the end of a refit?

Full documentation of the work carried out, organised for the captain and crew, and aftersales once she is back at sea.

Can I speak to owners and captains of previous refits?

Yes. The captains and owners of Ocean Dreamwalker III and Sweet Maryi are happy to talk.
