YES - Chantier Naval

YES is a boatyard established since 1981 in Technical Zone 2 of Port Camargue, in Le Grau-du-Roi. On a 4.5-hectare technical site it brings together a chandlery, repair workshops and boat sales. The team combines complementary trades: two chocking and paint specialists, an engine mechanic, a lamination specialist, a cabinetmaker specialising in teak and an energy and electronics technician.

Haul-out relies on the marina's handling equipment, up to 75 tonnes, with four hoists rated at 5, 14, 16 and 80 tonnes and three cradles, two of them 6.20 metres wide for 3 metres of draught. The yard has its own 25-metre quay, where a mobile crane can be brought in for specific lifts, allowing large vessels and catamarans to be taken in.

The workshops cover the maintenance trades: mechanics, with engine fitting, overhaul and repair across all brands and approved dealership for VETUS, Honda and Tohatsu; electrics and electronics, with bow thrusters, windlasses, battery banks and navigation equipment; joinery and cabinetmaking for interior fit-out; lamination and hull repair; MIG and TIG welding on steel, aluminium and stainless steel for biminis, handrails and protective structures; standing rigging, furlers and sail repair. Careening covers chocking, antifouling, primers, topcoat paint, gelcoat work and polishing. The yard is also an approved anti-osmosis treatment centre and offers boat and sail cleaning, monitored winter storage and towing assistance.

The chandlery, part of the BigShip network, covers safety equipment, charts, ropes and rigging, engine maintenance, electrics, antifouling, deck hardware, onboard comfort and tenders, with the sales team working alongside the workshop technicians on advice and fitting. On the boat side, YES is the official dealer for Bali, Hanse and Dehler sailing yachts, offers pre-owned yachts serviced in-house, motorboats with Expérience Yachting and brokerage through YouBoat.
