Marine
What We Do
It all began with boat-building.
In Port Vila we continue to service the local and international yachts residing and visiting our shores.
We have undertaken hull repairs, deck replacements, spray jobs, cabinetry repairs and renovations, fibre-glass repairs, fairing, keel repairs and going as far as repairs to water tanks, teak decks and salvage.
This season looks promising as an ever increasing amount of larger international pleasure vessels arrive to explore our waters every year.
Our Marine department covers small and large new build, refit and repair projects.
Principle Director, Gary Vasconcellos is a qualified, highly skilled & Experienced Boat-builder, Shipwright and Marine Surveyor with South African, New Zealand and UK qualifications.
If you are looking for absolute perfection for your yacht or boat, Southern Cross Marine Division delivers it.
