Dear Yacht Refit Asia,

Special thanks to your company team for accommodating our requirements on short notice. They carried out a fast yet high-quality job, delivering excellent results and meeting our target. Much appreciated!

I have had the pleasure of engaging the services of Yacht Refit Asia on multiple occasions for various painting projects. Without fail, their exceptional work consistently meets the rigorous quality standards set by the marine industry.

I am thoroughly satisfied with their performance, and it is with great confidence that I intend to continue entrusting them with any future painting jobs I may require.

Well done and thank you to the Yacht refit Asia team. The professional team in Asia, reliable and helpful staff that deliver results.

We recently had our Yacht Management Company, Max Marine Asia CO Ltd, look for the best yacht painter available. They brought onboard Yacht Refit Asia Co Ltd. Having over 25 years of experience they were recommended to us as being the best around.

Having completed the project of painting our Sunseeker 73 black we would have to agree that they were the right team. The finishing was magnificent and we know that Black is a specialized color to paint a yacht and it is very difficult to get the perfect finish. We can honestly say they went over and above what we thought they could do.

Not only has it given the yacht a new lease on life but enhanced her overall look and appeal. To our amazement, we have received numerous offers for her. She, however, is for us to enjoy....for now.

We could not recommend them more highly as they have surpassed all our expectations. Professionally run achieving everything they said they would do and meeting all time frames. Thanks Yacht Refit Asia for a great paint job!

To whom it may concern,

We recently required work to be carried out on our Sunseeker Manhattan 52 and were advised to use Yacht Refit Asia. They returned the hull and swim platform area back to their original colour of black. In addition, they also carried out composite repairs both in and around the stern of the vessel.

It was the first time that we have used this company, so we were a little apprehensive at first, but we were incredibly impressed with their professionalism and attention to detail. They comply with western safety standards, having a well-ventilated spraying area to guarantee a clean and safe working environment to carry out the work. Their experience was evident, and we appreciate that black is a difficult colour to work with.

We will use Yacht Refit Asia – Superyacht Painters in the future and would be happy to provide a reference for other owners requiring paint works.

To whom it may concern,

This letter is to confirm that we are working closely with Mr Scott Taylor of Yacht Refit Asia for the securing and application of Marine coatings for various projects in Thailand and other South East Asian countries.

We fully support Scott and his team in the pursuit of projects in this region and will supply the Technical Advice, supply chain and other support functions as required.

We welcome the opportunity to work with Yacht Refit Asia and remain available to discuss this subject further should you or any of your colleagues wish to.

We all demand that perfect paint job, but unfortunately, wanting and achieving can be very different.

We are delighted to say that the work completed by Superyacht Painters Limited on our Sea Pearl was outstanding and up there with the best.

I am more than satisfied with the work and can see absolutely no reason why we won't use Superyacht Painters Limited as our first stop.

Scott has many attributes knowledge of the Superyacht coatings industry, conversant utilising the best products on the market, project management skills, and using his gained years of experienced application methods.

It is very easy talking and project planning with Scott and he was very flexible in the ever changing program of boat building.

His work is excellent.

Scott always has completed projects to a very high standard,

Year first hired: 1998-2010 (Hired on many occasions)

Wishing you all the best in your future endeavours.

This is to confirm Mr. Scott Taylor has been working as a Coatings Project Manager with us at 'Royal Denship' in Denmark since October 2008. During this time he and his team have produced high quality super-yacht finishing and coating project management on the RD 8503, RD 120'-01 and a series of 'Royal Tenders'. The work has all been completed on time, in budget and to satisfactory Super-Yacht finish.

I have worked with Scott on and off since 1991 when he painted the 131' foot 'Mirabella I' at Concorde Yachts Ltd. in Thailand. He also worked with me on a 67 foot sailboat and 50 foot catamaran plug & mould project at 'Discovery Yachts' in UK during 2007 and also produced first rate work. I am very happy to recommend Scott as a Coating Project Manager to any high quality yacht yard.

As Senior Production Manager at Royal Denship A/S I was responsible for all manufacturing, internal as well as external, of the vessels. I entered into a cooperation with Scott Taylor and his team as an external partner in making the fairing finish of the hulls and superstructures on several of the Royal Denship Yachts.

Consultancy management tasks were included in his responsibilities including full paint budget control, project planning, customer relations, quality control of paint contractors, overall planning of all our Superyacht painting requirements.

Scott Taylor and his team showed in this period, apart from excellent quality in the work completed, and a very great understanding in the flexibility, needed for teamwork between the internal and external parties.

It is very easy to cooperate with Scott, and I recommend Scott as a very professional partner if needed. The cooperation lasted from 2007 until 2009.

I have had the pleasure to work with Scott Taylor and his teams on and off over the last 7 years.

Scott and I met many years before this but we were reintroduced during the build of Mirabella V. Scott completed hull and deckhouse paintwork of Mirabella V during an extensive refurbishment.

His work is always to the best superyacht standard and to time and budget.

Scott understands the requirement for hands on management and does not leave the job to chance. He is a talented applicator in his own right and can work in a small team or manage a very large team to suit all sizes of superyachts. He is willing to work on site wherever the contract may take him.

His personality always helps a job along.

I am pleased to recommend him and act as reference.

I'd like to take this opportunity to thank you all, for all your efforts and hard work during our extensive refit at Saxon Wharf. I am fully aware that we had to work to a very tight time schedule, as we normally do, due to our sponsorship and racing commitments, and that there are always unforeseen problems, which try to prevent things going to plan.

As paint jobs go, it was not easy, as we had sponsor logos to build in to the artwork, which meant exact colour matching and detail had to be met. We are delighted with the way you and the boys tackled the job, with enthusiasm and professionalism, and the end result was a paint job that was almost seamless.

You will also be very pleased to hear the number of comments we received from both the general public, and other race teams, about how good the boat looked at our latest event. I look forward to working with you all at a later date, and thank you for your continuing support.

As Project Manager responsible for sub-contractors on the Mirabella V Project, I worked very closely with Scott Taylor and his team.

The work was accomplished under extremely difficult conditions, working outside in the UK Winter.

Scott Taylor performed with professionalism and skill under these trying conditions and did his up most to help achieve on-time completion of this major refurbishment necessitated following the grounding of the vessel.

The scope of work was increased to include such items as Ceramic fairing of the Keel Fin, which Scott Taylor and his team undertook and successfully completed.

It was noticeable that Scott Taylor had a higher ratio of on-site supervision than fairer/painter contractors, a major contributing factor in the successful completion of their role.

I can highly recommend Scott Taylor and his team.

Camper and Nicholson's have employed the services of Scott Taylor and his team over a period of the last four years. In this time we have been impressed with the pro active and positive attitude that is always presented by Scott Taylor and his men. They have always arrived on the dates specified for the various tasks and work to finish the project within the time frame.

I would recommend Scott Taylor to other yards as a reliable and easy to use sub-contractor who can be relied on to produce an excellent job as a standard.

As Captain responsible for multiple projects for both Asian Poseidon (40m Benetti) and VICTON (41m), I can unequivocally attest to the exceptional quality of workmanship provided by Yacht Refit Asia Co., Ltd. Their painting and repair services consistently meet and exceed superyacht standards, a level of quality demonstrably rare within the Asian region. We are currently utilizing their services for ongoing repairs and repainting projects. I confidently recommend Yacht Refit Asia for any superyacht requiring top-tier paint and repair services. Captain Paul Stanton

I would like to thank Scott Taylor and his team for the impressive work done completing GRP repairs on our Ferretti Navetta 33.

The challenge of a tight time frame to arrive, find the required materials and do the work was met with smiles, laughter and professionalism.

All class and insurance surveyors were satisfied with all the work completed, all detailed schedules and work reports were sent on a regular basis to be sure all concerned were happy and in the loop.

I would highly recommend these guys for any work required. I would say I look forward to working with them again, but it means I need repairs done!

I was in charge of the Sailrocket project sponsored by Vestas Wind Systems A/S to attempt to break the water wind speed record. I employed Scott Taylor and his team to fair and paint under stringent conditions of weight perfection on fairness for aerodynamics and completing the perfect paint job.

All the materials applied had to be weighed and all that was sanded off to achieve fairness had to be weighed and recorded as well. Scott Taylor and his team completed their task in a speedy and professional manner.

I would definitely employ them again if the need arises and wish them all the best for the future.

We are pleased to confirm that Yacht Refit Asia Co., Ltd. is officially certified in the application of our comprehensive range of yacht products. This certification is a significant milestone, affirming your team's dedication and proficiency in the specialized application of our fairing and paint products.

In the demanding superyacht industry, your team has consistently met and even exceeded the high standards required, showcasing not only skill but also a commitment to quality craftsmanship.

We are excited about the potential for collaboration and the meeting of shared goals. Your expertise has positioned Yacht Refit Asia Co., Ltd. as a trusted partner in the yacht industry, facilitating superior outcomes for your clients. We look forward to witnessing the remarkable results of your continued efforts and the opportunities that lie ahead.

Dear Scott and Michael, My Tartan 4000 sailing yacht needed unfortunate repairs in its Majestic Blue hull and Cloud White boot stripe. I was referred to Yacht Refit Asia and I was really impressed at the research effort to find the right paint and thinners to work with the existing paint. During haul out week my fears about doing spot repair quickly dissolved from the attention to detail and working processes of their work crew. They also touched up old polish wheel burns, on the transom dinghy mark repairs, and repainted the yellowing boot stripe. S/Y Dream is again "the prettiest girl at the dance". Thank you Yacht Refit Asia.

Scott Taylor and his fairing team have been contracted by Multiplast Composite Yacht Yard in Vannes, France, to fair, paint and prep hull plug and deck moulds for Le Défi Areva, the French challenge for the America's Cup. His team have managed to fair the plug within 1 mm accuracy of its designed shape (measured DGA, 0.01 mm accuracy). This has been done within the contracted timeframe for both pieces, despite unforeseen construction delays that were outside his control and responsibility.

The selection of a paint team is important to ensure that the application is completed on time and achieving a superyacht finish. We have no hesitation by endorsing Scott Taylor and his company as an experienced and professional paint team. They have used Awlgrip professional yacht paint products on several projects that were very well managed, and completed on time with excellent results.

I would like to thank Superyacht Painters for the paint job you did on my boat during the major refit in Italyard Shipyard. It was a huge undertaking of work always in difficult conditions because many works were in progress in the same time however you did an excellent job (full paint, hull topsides, under the water system and superstructure). Your team is very hard working and it was great to work with them. I am sure we will work again together in the future and I will give your contact to all my friends' captains of many yachts in the world. I would like to thank you for your professionalism and your organization.

Thank you, Superyacht Painters for a great paint job against all the odds in Bangkok in tough conditions, hot and wet, yet you never faulted, you have transformed us into a beautiful yacht. Great crew always happy and always there. I will never forget the extra effort you all put in and those many extras that you took on without a fuss. If I ever need a dedicated paint team who can go the distance again, I'll be calling.

We employed said company as a subcontractor on a project, a 40 metre aluminium motor yacht, for approximately eight months. During this period, we encountered no negative issues, and were pleased with the way the operation was conducted and finished. The fairing and painting work was to a high superyacht standard, and our customer was completely satisfied. We would certainly consider employing said company in the future, should other projects arise, and we were given the opportunity to do so.

I would like to thank Superyacht Painters for their services and more importantly for their attitude towards the overall project. They never wavered from the objective of achieving a Superyacht finish which they did under difficult circumstances. I would recommend their services to others and would be happy to take them on for another project in the future.

Scott Taylor is very passionate and enthusiastic about his work. His experience over many years dedicated to luxury and superyacht fairing and painting projects meant during my time with him that the standard of his work was consistent and of a high quality. It is rare in the industry to find consistency and it is something you can expect with Scott.

Scott and I worked on a Superyacht project in Thailand where we hired local labour and managed our individual areas of the build (Scott painting and fairing, myself electrical.) I was really impressed with the way Scott dealt with the task in hand, his team was by far the biggest of all, yet he managed to keep them under perfect control and the results were nothing short of outstanding. I have worked alongside many other companies managing the painting and fairing during other projects, but I must say, from personal experience, Scott stands out above the rest. He took a team of untrained locals, who would typically work on fishing boats and ferry's (usually using a roller!) and turned them into a Superyacht standard painting and fairing team, in a remarkably short period of time!! I would have no hesitation in recommending him for further projects I am involved with.

10/10 finish. Great quality, very reliable and efficient.
