On 29 January 2026, MB92 Group officially inaugurated MB92 Golfe-Juan, marking the completion of a major modernisation programme designed to elevate the shipyard’s technical capabilities, environmental performance and overall operational standards.
The inauguration took place in the presence of the Mayor of Vallauris Golfe-Juan and representatives of the town, partners, clients and MB92 teams, celebrating the conclusion of several months of intensive works carried out while the site remained fully operational.
A strategic investment in a responsible and sustainable shipyard
Since opening in early 2025, MB92 Golfe-Juan has undergone a structured rehabilitation programme supported by an investment of more than €5 million. The objective was clear: to modernise the site, ensure full compliance with health, safety and environmental regulations, and go beyond first-class environmental standards.
The works delivered several key upgrades, including the complete resurfacing of the shipyard’s 8,600 m² hard standing, the installation of a high-performance water treatment system (UDEP), and the full rehabilitation of all workshops and offices.
These improvements now allow MB92 Golfe-Juan to offer refit, repair and maintenance services at the highest level, reinforcing safety, efficiency and environmental responsibility across all operations.
A collective achievement
Speaking during the inauguration, the Mayor of Vallauris Golfe-Juan highlighted the importance of the project for the local economy and praised the collective effort that made the transformation of the site possible.
Philippe Escousse, Site Director of MB92 Golfe-Juan, commented: “This inauguration marks an important milestone for us and reflects a true collective achievement. I would like to thank the entire team for their professionalism, as well as our colleagues in La Ciotat, whose experience and know-how were essential in bringing this project to completion.”
Rob Papworth, CEO of MB92 La Ciotat, added: “In 2025, MB92 Golfe-Juan delivered 61 projects on yachts ranging from 12.5 to 41 metres, while the site was undergoing major transformation. This demonstrates the dedication and capability of the team. We now look forward to continuing to build strong relationships with local suppliers and contractors, delivering the same level of excellence our clients expect across all MB92 shipyards.”
A key refit hub on the Côte d’Azur
Ideally located between Cannes and Antibes, MB92 Golfe-Juan specialises in the refit, maintenance and repair of yachts up to 43 metres. The shipyard operates a 260-tonne travel lift and offers a comprehensive range of services, including mechanical and electrical engineering, painting, joinery, interior refits and complex rebuilds.
Combining more than 30 years of local refit expertise with the resources and standards of the MB92 Group, MB92 Golfe-Juan strengthens the Group’s presence in one of the world’s most renowned cruising destinations.
With this inauguration, MB92 Golfe-Juan enters a new chapter, fully equipped to deliver safe, sustainable and high-quality refit solutions for its clients, while contributing positively to the local maritime ecosystem.
