With increased numbers of new yachts arriving as well as previous
visiting yachts returning, Driftwood have upped their game in order to
provide for this increasing demand.
After working in Antigua as a marine carpenter for 7 years Steffen
Meyerer took to the
breeze in search of new horizons and came
sailing into Grenada in 2010. He quickly discovered the niche for
someone of his trade who had the knowledge and experience earned
in a full scale marine industry and established what we know today as
DRIFTWOOD FINE YACHT SERVICES.
Driftwood has grown in leaps and bounds from a small-scale marine
carpentry shop to a much larger operation. In 2017 the scope of
services Driftwood had to offer was widened when Steffen’s experience
in Fine Yacht Carpentry was spliced with the shipwright skills of Judd
Tinius. Between the two they have a combined total of 30-plus years
experience. This brought Driftwood to the next level of extensive
knowledge and experience of working on not just modern yachts, but to
the classic wooden boats as well.
The next logical step in growth was to establish a team specializing
in composites.
A team that is familiar with all aspects of modern construction
materials and techniques. This team has been successfully operating
for four years now and has become a cornerstone of Driftwood.
Today Driftwood is composed of a reliable and dedicated team of
tradesmen who, with their varied skillset, can offer a wide range of
services to yacht owners and crew. The team’s cumulative technical
know-how is the key element which enables them to provide their
services with a comprehensive support option that is hard to beat.
Services provided include all carpentry and shipwright works. From
teak decking to complete interior and exterior refits. Veneering,
restoration as well as warranty work.
Outside of the realm of wood, Driftwood also offers GRP and composite
fabrication. They can perform regular deck core replacement, blister
repairs, collision repairs, fabricate custom parts in various composite
materials as well as Gel coat repairs and topside painting (both spray
and hand). Driftwood’s Sea Hawk certified Bottom team takes care of all
the paint services from the waterline down.
Encouraging both large & small yachts to visit Grenada whilst having
their service needs fulfilled.
