Superyacht painting for UAE owners, worldwide
Owners, captains and managers based in Dubai and Abu Dhabi have strong local yards to choose from. Superyacht Painters at Yacht Refit Asia are global superyacht painting specialists. We have painted superyachts since 1990, and today run repaint and refit programmes for yachts over 30 m at ST Marine Engineering in Singapore, in Thailand and in Vietnam.
We work globally: our team can mobilise to your yacht anywhere in the world, or your yacht can come to our bases in Singapore, Thailand and Vietnam.
Why look beyond a yacht refit in Dubai
- Yard windows: covered space for a full repaint at ST Marine Engineering, Singapore, with additional options in Thailand and Vietnam.
- Quality you can check: references from UK yards, project managers and race teams, quoted word for word.
- Class-ready records: M/Y Kahala (40 m) at ST Marine Engineering, Singapore, and M/Y Kerry (33 m) in Hong Kong, for Burgess were approved by RINA surveyors.
- Full transparency from a distance: the YRA Project Status App puts progress, twice-daily photos and paint reports in your pocket in Dubai or Abu Dhabi.
- Honest pricing: quotes are given on inspection, based on the percentage of repairs and the work scope.

Frequently asked questions
Why would a UAE-based superyacht be repainted in Asia?
Yard availability, programme length and cost all vary by region. Our yachts are painted under cover at ST Marine Engineering in Singapore, with further capacity in Thailand and Vietnam, by a team that has painted superyachts since 1990.
Can you work on my yacht in the UAE?
Yes. We work globally: our team can mobilise to your yacht in Dubai, Abu Dhabi or anywhere in the world, or she can come to our bases in Singapore, Thailand or Vietnam. We will give you an honest view of programme, logistics and scope either way.
Do you have a yard or team in the UAE?
We do not operate facilities in the UAE, but we work globally. Our team can mobilise to your yacht anywhere in the world, or your yacht can come to our bases in Singapore, Thailand and Vietnam.
Have you worked on yachts in the UAE?
Yes. On M/Y Sharjah (60 m) in the UAE we provided independent consultancy and surveying, overseeing the whole painting project.
How much does a superyacht repaint cost?
On inspection. Every yacht is different and the cost depends on the percentage of repairs and the work scope. We cannot share previous project costs because of client NDAs.
Is your work accepted by class surveyors?
Two of our delivered projects, M/Y Kahala (40 m) at ST Marine Engineering, Singapore, and M/Y Kerry (33 m) in Hong Kong, for Burgess, were approved by RINA surveyors.
How can I follow the project from Dubai or Abu Dhabi?
Every client gets the YRA Project Status App: a live progress dashboard, twice-daily work photos, paint reports and documents on phone or computer.
