Yacht haul-out services lift vessels from the water to allow direct access to submerged structures for inspection, repair, and scheduled maintenance. Haul-outs for sailing yachts, motor yachts, and multihulls are carried out by Berthon Spain across Mallorca. The process supports both routine and emergency work. Vessels are lifted, cleaned, chocked, and positioned for service with minimal disruption. Each stage is planned around yard capacity, vessel readiness, and the nature of the work required.
Yacht haul-outs begin with a pre-lift inspection check list before arriving in the haul-out pit, allowing our engineers insight into any malfunctioning equipment and details of necessary repairwork. The majority of vessels will be lifted using a travel lift; a crane may be used for hauling out RIBS and tenders. After lifting, the hull is pressure washed to remove fouling. The yacht is then chocked securely for access and stability. Berthon Spain manages logistics, timing, and contractor access during the haul-out window.
Yacht owners use haul-outs to resolve issues and complete tasks that require dry access. Typical reasons include:
The haul-out allows direct work on underwater components. Tasks often completed include:
Berthon Spain schedules the lift, confirms yard slot availability, and coordinates arrival. A technician attends before the haul-out to confirm vessel condition and requirements. Once ashore, we oversee the hull pressure wash and chocking, liaising with the shipyard for the correct access needed and relevant safety and environmental regulations. Throughout the time ashore, we communicate with subcontractors and surveyors where necessary. The haul-out concludes with a status report and follow-up action list.
Haul-out services accommodate displacement and planing motor yachts, sailing yachts, and catamarans. Lift options are matched to beam, weight, and keel profile. Berthon Spain selects the yard and timing to minimise downtime and align with project scope.
