Particularly when time for sailing is limited to a few months a year due to other commitments, many owners prefer to have maintenance and refits managed by Island Dreams during their absence. When the owner arrives, the boat is ready.
From de-commissioning to re-commissioning, we can take on any type of job for which skills are available in Grenada. We use a pool of skilled tradespeople and suppliers and source and import parts from overseas where they cannot be obtained locally.
We are entirely flexible and will work to your job list, confirming details, raising any issues and clarifying requirements throughout the job. We use email to send photos and updated status reports and phone to discuss issues which arise.
