Yacht Lifting and Refit Services in UAE: Marine Services 1 Expands to Dubai Maritime City and Hamriyah Free Zone

Following the closure of lifting operations at Jaddaf Drydocks, yacht owners and captains in the UAE are facing a reduced number of haul-out options for maintenance and refit works. Marine Services 1 (MS1) is responding to this shift by expanding its operational capabilities and offering yacht lifting and refit solutions from two strategic maritime locations: Dubai Maritime City and Hamriyah Free Zone.

By operating across both locations, Marine Services 1 is now able to support vessels ranging from smaller boats and yachts to large superyachts, providing owners with flexible and reliable lifting options for maintenance and refit projects across the UAE.

Marine Services 1 Expands Lifting Capabilities in the UAE

The closure of lifting facilities at Jaddaf has created a clear need for alternative solutions for yacht maintenance and refit works. Marine Services 1 has positioned itself to fill this gap by securing operational capabilities in two of the region’s most important maritime hubs, ensuring yacht owners continue to have access to professional yacht lifting and refit services in the UAE.

This dual-location setup allows MS1 to manage projects more efficiently while providing clients with greater flexibility depending on the size of their vessel and the scope of works required.

Yacht Lifting Services at Dubai Maritime City for Superyachts

At Dubai Maritime City, Marine Services 1 can coordinate lifting operations for large yachts and superyachts, including vessels exceeding 100 meters in length. This location offers some of the most capable lifting infrastructure in the region and allows Marine Services 1 to support major refit and maintenance projects for large vessels.

From scheduled maintenance to complex refit works, Dubai Maritime City provides the necessary infrastructure to handle large-scale yacht service operations.

Boat and Yacht Lifting up to 30m at Hamriyah Free Zone

Marine Services 1 has also established its main workshop in Hamriyah Free Zone, where the company offers lifting services for boats and yachts up to approximately 30 meters in length.

This facility has quickly become a key operational base for the company and provides a highly efficient solution for yacht owners looking for professional maintenance and refit services outside Dubai’s increasingly limited lifting capacity. The Hamriyah location is particularly suited for routine maintenance, seasonal works, and mid-scale refit projects.

Complete Yacht Refit and Maintenance Services

Once vessels are lifted, Marine Services 1 offers a comprehensive range of yacht refit and maintenance services, including:

• Antifouling and hull protection systems
• Yacht painting and cosmetic refinishing
• Teak and synthetic decking installation and refurbishment
• Mechanical servicing and technical works
• Polishing, detailing, and seasonal maintenance

These services are delivered by Marine Services 1’s experienced technical team, ensuring every project meets the high standards expected by yacht owners and captains operating in the UAE.

One of the Few UAE Companies Offering Multiple Yacht Lifting Locations

With operational access to both Dubai Maritime City and Hamriyah Free Zone, Marine Services 1 stands among the very few — if not the only — yacht service providers in the UAE capable of offering lifting solutions across multiple facilities under one technical management team.

This unique positioning allows the company to support a wide range of vessels, from private boats and cruising yachts to large superyachts, while maintaining efficient project management and high-quality technical execution.
