Yacht refit & marine service · Fort Lauderdale
Thirty years refitting, repairing and outfitting the world's leading yachts — with class-certified welders, a full pipe shop, every trade under one roof, and mobile crews that come to the vessel when the vessel can't come to us.

Class welding & fabrication
Every class welder at APB is certified by Lloyd's Register, ABS and RINA. From hull plating, exhausts, extensions and intakes to pilot houses and fly bridges — new construction, repair and refit, in carbon steel, 5000-series aluminum, super alloys, duplex stainless and copper-nickel.

Pipe shop & valve testing
Complete valve inspection, repair and testing to Lloyd's Register, ABS and RINA requirements, on class-approved equipment. If a valve fails, our own staff repairs it immediately — and you leave with the documentation that gets the vessel back on the water.
Hydrostatic, tank and blow-off testing. Stainless, steel, aluminum and CuNi pipe. Authorized Viega ProPress installer and service. Pickup and drop-off, with a substantial critical-valve inventory in our parts department.
Every trade under one roof
Award-winning cabinetry, teak decks, cap rails and veneering for mega yachts and sportfish — exotic woods, composites, laminates, complete interiors.
Mold making, structural repairs and modifications — fiberglass, Kevlar, epoxy and high-performance composites.
A 14' × 27' spray booth for high-quality finishes with fast turnaround — decks, chairs, rails, panels — plus stainless polishing.
Hull modifications, hardtops and towers, rigging, flooring, transom work and repowers for tenders, sportfishers and center consoles.
Veterans of hundreds of refits. One manager owns your job start to finish, backed by administration and accounting — you always know where it stands.
Long-standing relationships with marine insurers and adjusters — repairs documented and paid with minimal effort from you.

Mobile service
Fully outfitted work containers and job trailers, stocked and ready to roll. APB crews perform extensive structural repairs at shipyards across the region — including vessels too large to haul in Fort Lauderdale.
Vessel, location, and what you need — a project manager responds, not an autoresponder.
