Understand the Vessel
The process starts by identifying the area of concern, its existing condition and the work being considered for the vessel.
Professional boat and yacht painting, fiberglass repair, restoration and marine refinishing serving Fort Lauderdale and the South Florida marine community.
with over 35 years combined experience RD Yacht Refinishing has worked on boats and yachts requiring professional fiberglass repair, fairing, gelcoat restoration, marine painting, refinishing and related restoration work.
RD Yacht Refinishing is a South Florida marine repair and refinishing company specializing in the exterior repair, preparation and finishing of boats and yachts.
Located in Davie, Florida, RD serves vessel owners and the marine community throughout Fort Lauderdale and surrounding South Florida. The company has worked on boats and yachts of different sizes and on projects ranging from individual fiberglass repairs to broader painting, refinishing, restoration and refit-related work.
The company's capabilities bring together several connected stages of marine work. Fiberglass damage can be repaired before fairing and surface preparation. Existing surfaces can be corrected and prepared before painting. Gelcoat, hull and topsides, structural fiberglass and related areas can be addressed according to the needs of the individual vessel.
This combination of repair and refinishing capabilities allows RD to approach each project based on what the vessel actually requires rather than treating every job as a single isolated service.
RD Yacht Refinishing provides marine repair and refinishing services that can address individual areas of a vessel or multiple connected stages of a larger project.

Explore Yacht Refit Services →A refinishing project can involve much more than the final coating. Depending on the vessel, work may begin with fiberglass or gelcoat repair, continue through fairing and surface preparation, and finish with marine painting and exterior refinishing.
Marine refinishing begins with understanding the condition beneath the finished surface. Depending on the vessel, a project may involve repair, fairing and preparation before the final refinishing stage begins.
The process starts by identifying the area of concern, its existing condition and the work being considered for the vessel.
When fiberglass, gelcoat or other repair work is required, those areas can be addressed before the later surface and finishing stages.
Fairing and surface preparation are used as required to correct and prepare the surface for the next stage of refinishing.
Once the appropriate preparation is complete, the project can move into painting, gelcoat restoration or the applicable finishing work.
The completed work brings the repair, preparation and refinishing stages together according to the scope of the individual project.
Not every painting project begins with a surface that is ready for paint, and not every fiberglass repair ends when the damaged laminate has been addressed.
A vessel may require fiberglass repair followed by fairing. A repaired area may then require surface preparation and refinishing. An aging exterior may involve several areas requiring different stages of work.
RD Yacht Refinishing's combination of fiberglass repair, fairing, surface preparation and marine refinishing allows related stages to be coordinated when the individual project requires them.

Fiberglass damage, deteriorated surfaces, gelcoat problems, fairing requirements and existing finishes can all affect the scope of a repair or refinishing project.
