Frequently asked questions

Yacht owners, captains, engineers, bosuns, deck crew, charter operators, shipyards and professional maintenance teams who need reliable equipment for vessel upkeep, to rent for a job or to buy for regular use.

It was founded by a superyacht Y1 chief engineer with 16 years in yachting, to make professional yacht-maintenance equipment easy to get on the Riviera. You can rent for one job or buy for regular use, with advice from people who have done the work on board.

From one day to a full refit period. Each started day is charged, from delivery or pick-up until return. Extensions depend on availability and must be agreed before the original end date.

Yes. Renting makes sense for refits, seasonal maintenance and one-off jobs when buying or storing a machine doesn't. Send us the scope of work and dates and we'll put the right setup together.

Yes. Captains, engineers, bosuns and deck crew can request a quote themselves. The quote and invoice can be made out to the yacht or the management company.

Send the equipment you need, the job, the yacht's location and your dates with the quote form or on WhatsApp. We confirm availability in the quotation. The booking is confirmed once you accept it in writing (email or WhatsApp) and any deposit is in place.

Yes, all website prices include French VAT (20%). Commercial yachts that qualify for VAT exemption receive quotes and invoices without VAT.

A refundable deposit or card pre-authorisation may be needed per machine, and it's stated on the quotation (for example €5,000 for the load bank). It's released after the equipment is returned and checked, normally within 7 days.

By bank transfer or card, as shown on the quotation and invoice.

Yes. Delivery and collection at the berth or shipyard between Cannes and Monaco costs €60. Further away, e.g. Saint-Tropez, is on request. A crew member receives the equipment and we show them how to use it.

Yes, free of charge, from HomeBox, 6 Rue Léotardi, 06300 Nice, Monday–Saturday, 09:00–19:00.

It depends on stock and location. On the Riviera we can often deliver quickly. Send your dates as early as possible and we'll confirm the handover time in the quotation.

Our main base covers the French Riviera from Monaco to Saint-Tropez. Partner hubs in Ventimiglia, Liguria and Sardinia (Italy) and in Croatia rent the Deckie and the JÖST. Choose your hub on the quote form and the local team replies. We're growing the network across the Mediterranean.

Both the JÖST and the Deckie are built for professional teak cleaning. The JÖST is an oscillating machine with a large 190×340 pad, which is cleaner and far less messy than orbital or rotary machines. The Deckie is a compact scrubber with a 120×250 pad. The best choice depends on the deck's condition and size. Send photos and we'll recommend one.

Teak and other deck surfaces, non-skid, interior floors, marble and stone, engine-room surfaces, upholstery, cushions and carpets. Always check suitability on a small hidden area first, or ask us.

No, pads are charged separately. Which one you need depends on the surface and the result you want. Buy them with the rental or from our pad collection.

Abraflex GREEN (medium) is for deep scrubbing weathered teak that still has enough wood. Abraflex RED (slight) is for routine cleaning of teak in good condition. Grey Microfiber cleans with water only, for new or delicate teak, painted floors, tiles and PVC. TURF pads are for non-skid surfaces. JÖST Diamond pads are for marble and stone polishing. For a JÖST rental on a ~50 m yacht, plan about 4 GREEN pads.

Use the Grey Microfiber pad, not GREEN. It cleans with water only and won't remove wood.

The Sabrina-HOT and Sabrina-Foam extraction cleaners deep-clean cushions, upholstery and carpets. The Sabrina-Foam also has a disinfecting attachment that kills bacteria, mould and viruses. This is ideal before winter storage.

Removing rust, paint, coatings and contamination from metal and other suitable surfaces, without sandblasting or chemicals. The settings depend on the material, coating and condition of the surface.

Only after the specific material and coating have been checked. Tell us the surface and the result you want before any work starts. Safety procedures are essential.

Yes. Laser equipment needs proper training, safety precautions and a suitable work area. If your team isn't trained, we can also do the job with our own operator. Pulse laser rental and operator-led cleaning are on request.

Renting is best for a one-off job, a refit or when storage is limited. Buying makes sense for regular maintenance or a permanent crew setup. You can also try first: if you buy the same model within 30 days of renting, 50% of the rental you paid (excluding delivery and consumables) is credited against the purchase.

Yes: machines, pads, cleaning products and other yacht-maintenance supplies. Browse the shop at yachtgearsupply.pro or ask us for a quote. Festool tools are rental only.
