Labuan Bajo Shipyard
Alongside or at Anchor
Alongside or at Anchor
Most jobs never need a haul.
Technicians work alongside the jetty or from a service tender at anchor, so the yacht stays liveable and hardstand fees are avoided. A pre-work video survey gives absentee owners a documented baseline.
- 01 Divers inspect running gear in the water
- 02 Yacht stays liveable during the works
- 03 No hardstand fees
- 04 Video survey before work starts
Haul-Out Options
Know the limits.
Slipways were built for the local wooden fleet and there is no travel-lift in town. Full-keel motor yachts and sturdy displacement hulls generally sit well on a rail cradle; fin-keel yachts and catamarans are assessed case by case.
- No travel-lift in Labuan Bajo yet
- Rail slipway where the hull form allows
- Lifts routed to Bali or Surabaya when needed
- Passage logistics managed for you

FAQ
Visiting owner questions.
Is there a marina or travel lift in Labuan Bajo?
No travel lift yet. Yachts anchor or take a mooring in the bay, and hauls are done by rail slipway where the hull form allows. For sling lifts we arrange the nearest suitable yard in Bali or Surabaya.
Can work be done while I am away from the boat?
Yes. We hold keys, run a documented punch list with photos per stage and release payments against verified milestones. A condition report at handover closes the loop.
How far in advance should I book yacht work?
For in-water trades, one to two weeks is usually enough outside peak months. For slipway time or imported parts, allow four to six weeks.
Do you support superyachts visiting Komodo?
Yes — parts logistics, divers and minor technical work at anchor. Anything structural or class-related is referred to the appropriate larger yard, with our team handling local coordination.
