Pedros Yacht Refinishing was established in Galmpton in Devon in 1990 and since that time has built up an enviable reputation as a major yacht and motorboat repairer and leading yacht painter.
Over the last decade, the business has grown considerably, with new techniques constantly being developed to cope with modern coating systems.
The new materials - higher gloss topsides paints and underwater epoxy coatings with their extended lifespans mean extremely high standards of quality and increased vigilance are needed from our specialist workforce. Yacht owners now have even higher expectations than ever and at Pedros we always strive to not only meet but to exceed these demands. From the initial enquiry regarding boat repairs to the finish of the job, you will always receive the highest standard possible of professional service.
Pedros is easy to access from all the South West's major boating centres, but our highly experienced staff will also travel across the region to your yacht or motorboat to carry out any boat repair.

Tucked away at the head of Galmpton Creek, Dartside Quay lies some three miles up river from Dartmouth. In a sheltered position and with beautiful views across to Dittisham, it offers extensive facilities along with a chandlery.
The 7 acre dry boat storage area has space for over 300 boats and is serviced by a 65 ton hoist, one of the largest in the area, which operates from a purpose-built dock. There is also a 16 ton trailer hoist operating on a slipway.
These facilities are complemented by various specialist marine tenants on site who can assist with boat repairs and maintenance. A number of summer mud moorings are available.
Dartside Quay's location offers access to spectacular cruising both up the River Dart, with its many secluded anchorages, and along the unspoilt West Coast. The more adventurous can head further afield to the Channel Islands and the North Brittany coast, both of which are within easy reach and perfect for a weekend away.
