Northern Marine, a renowned yacht building company, announced today the launch of a new refit division dedicated to servicing Northern Marine vessels and similar yachts within their shipyard headquarters.

This strategic expansion marks a significant milestone for Northern Marine, enhancing its capabilities to provide comprehensive care for its own fleet and extending its expertise to other yacht owners in the same size category, 50 – 80 ft.

Peter Whiting, Managing Partner of Seattle Yachts, parent company of Northern Marine, emphasizes the company's commitment to excellence and innovation in this new venture. He states, “If boaters generally like their yacht but wish it had updated systems or a modernized interior, a refit performed by Northern Marine will achieve that. Working with state-of-the-art technologies and modern interior design concepts, Northern Marine is the perfect partner to rejuvenate their yacht, improving its performance, comfort, and aesthetics for years to come."

This expansion leverages Northern Marine's renowned expertise in yacht construction and design, now applied to comprehensive refits. The company's approach combines cutting-edge technology with contemporary design principles to breathe new life into existing yachts. The new division will offer complete refit services, including:

  • Structural repairs and modifications
  • Systems upgrades and replacements
  • Interior refurbishments
  • Exterior refinishing
  • Performance enhancements
  • Custom Stainless
  • Repowering

Northern Marine's refit division will operate from the company's shipyard, equipped with the latest technology and staffed by highly skilled marine craftsman with extensive experience in yacht building and maintenance.

“We want to give the customers of Northern Marine a home to come back to. We’re the people that built their boat, and we have the facilities that can accommodate boats of that size and beyond,” says Linn Jennings, Director of Manufacturing for Seattle Yachts. “Our Anacortes location allows us to seamlessly integrate services from trusted local providers, complementing our in-house capabilities to deliver comprehensive solutions.”
