About us
The foundation of Leading Yacht Renovations is built on years of hands-on craftsmanship and dedication to detail. With a background in fine woodwork, finishing, and high-end renovation, our journey into the yachting industry was a natural evolution. After working extensively with luxury interiors and precision joinery, it became clear that the same meticulous standards were essential in maintaining and enhancing superyachts. The transition into yachting allowed us to combine technical expertise with a passion for excellence, creating a service that caters to the unique challenges of life at sea. Over the years, we’ve developed a deep understanding of what owners, captains, and crew require — not only flawless results but also reliability, discretion, and efficiency. This experience shaped LYR into more than just a maintenance company: it’s a trusted partner in preserving the value, elegance, and performance of the world’s finest yachts.
