European yacht builders are often at the mercy of foreign shipyards when it comes to warranty work on a yacht cruising away from her build yard.
In recent years specialist refit yards the likes of IMS in Toulon France have offered recognised builders a base at their shipyard where warranty work can be undertaken.
Now the Florida based refitters Rybovich have signed an agreement with the Perini Navi group to Perini Navi and Picchiotti yachts on the West Atlantic coast
Perini Navi and Picchiotti, sees this agreement to be much more than a formalisation of the current events, with the two companies able to use the Rybovich facility as their authorised service and warranty work for their yachts in the United States.
Equally Rybovich will have access to and support from the Perini Navi facilities, engineering and yard team in La Spezia and Viareggio for their warranty work and additional refit support in Italy.
Rybovich has already provided service and refit work to Perini Navi sailing yachts in the United States where both the 56m Zenji and the 64m Felicita West have been refitted.
