Many captains and owners, clients of the shipyard and of the private marina of Monaco Marine, also came to celebrate the opening of the new facility, the largest in the Var and in fact the only one in the Golfe de Saint-Tropez. Situated in the heart of the shipyard, this ultra-modern and generously proportioned shed (25m long, 7m wide and high) will allow for paint and varnishing works to be carried out in optimal conditions in terms of safety and quality.
With a completely temperature and hygrometric controlled environment, the shed also has a filtering system that meets the most stringent environmental regulations. Monaco Marine is committed to a strict and innovative environmental protection policy at all of its sites.
By acquiring this technical and high-performance equipment, the Golfe de Saint–Tropez yard completes the set of Monaco Marine facilities dedicated to refitting yachts from 5 to 40 m.
