With the refit season well underway and the high occupancy, the renowned Monaco Marine La Ciotat is enjoying the busy period with numerous superyacht currently at the yard. In fact, Monaco Marine La Ciotat, specialising in super and megayacht refits, has delivered three important projects since early September: Motor Yacht 360 (47 metre ISA), Luxury yacht Zita (47 metre Benetti) and Superyacht Kolaha (63 metre ISA).
The superyacht Zita came to La Ciotat in Southern France for an express yard period to improve its stabilisation system with integration of zero speed technology. Her captain, Stanley Benngård, commented on the stay at Monaco Marine La Ciotat: “We had a particularly short timeframe for these works and Monaco Marine rose to this challenge successfully. They were quick to respond, professional throughout the project and within the set budget, all qualities we look for in a service shipyard. ”
