Why yards get skipped

Word of mouth built this industry. It also caps it.

Most refit work still starts with a name someone already knows. But before a captain or owner's rep sends a brief, they check you — and they compare you with yards they don't know yet. If your site doesn't show your capacity, your past projects and how to brief you, you don't make the shortlist, however good your work is.

The kind of searches they make

  • yacht refit yard 60m Antibes
  • superyacht paint shed La Ciotat
  • travel lift 300 tonnes Mediterranean
  • chantier naval refit yacht Côte d'Azur

Capability, size and location — in English and French. Your website has to answer all three in the first few seconds.

What we build

Engineered for superyacht B2B

Every element is designed around how owner reps and project managers qualify a yard — not how a generic agency builds a brochure.

Refit portfolios

Project pages structured around vessel LOA, scope, survey standards (Lloyd's, RINA) and milestones, so owner reps can qualify you immediately.

Yard specifications

Dedicated capability pages for crane and travel-lift tonnage, draft limits, drydock and shed dimensions, and certified trade partners.

Bilingual SEO

English and French pages built around the terms captains, fleet managers and French-speaking clients actually use when looking for a yard.

Structured refit enquiries

Brief capture for vessel dimensions, refit category and timing, so the first call starts with the information you need.

Port & map visibility

Google Business Profile and map presence for your yard's location, so you appear when crews search for refit services near where the yacht is berthed.

AI search visibility

Structured data and clear capability content so ChatGPT, Gemini and Google's AI answers can identify your yard and describe it accurately.

    The difference

    Generic agency vs. marine specialist

    A refit yard isn't a local garage. Its website shouldn't be built like one.

    Generic web agency

    • Treats refit yards like standard local repair businesses.
    • Unaware of Mediterranean seasonal procurement cycles.
    • Generic stock photos instead of your real projects and capacity.
    • Long turnaround times that miss the refit planning window.

    Lautryv

    • Built around refit seasons, yard capacity and how owner reps qualify suppliers.
    • SEO strategy based on how captains and fleet managers actually search.
    • Accurate technical terminology in English and French.
    • Fast delivery, with full ownership of your site and its code.

    FAQ

    Questions from yards

    Don't see your question? Ask us directly — we'll give you a straight answer.

    Ask a question

    • At minimum: your capacity (maximum LOA, draft, lift and crane tonnage, sheds and berths), past refit projects with vessel size and scope, the services and trades you cover, your location and access, and a way to send a structured brief. That is what owner reps and project managers check before they shortlist a yard.

    • Yes. We work with shipyards, refit facilities and marine contractors across the Mediterranean. The work is done remotely, in English or French.

    • Often, yes. We start with an audit of your current site, search visibility and enquiry flow, then recommend whether to improve what you have or rebuild. You get a clear explanation either way.

    • Real photos of your yard and projects are far stronger than stock images. We don't take photographs ourselves, but we work with the images you already have or with your photographer, and we advise on which shots matter most to owner reps.

    • Yes. Ongoing SEO, AI search visibility and web care are available as separate services. See our yacht & superyacht SEO services and web care.
