Precision sanding and surface preparation of exterior concrete areas on a 100-metre superyacht

Maintaining the appearance of a large superyacht involves far more than caring for teak and painted surfaces. Decorative concrete finishes found around swimming pools, spa areas and exterior leisure spaces also require specialist attention to preserve both their appearance and safety.

Oceanfy was entrusted with the careful sanding and restoration of decorative concrete surfaces surrounding the swimming pool area of a private 100-metre superyacht on the French Riviera.

Due to client confidentiality, the yacht remains unnamed.

Project Overview

Project

Restoration of decorative concrete pool deck surfaces.

Location

Private 100-metre superyacht

French Riviera

Services Provided

  • Surface inspection
  • Assessment of existing finish
  • Precision sanding
  • Removal of surface imperfections
  • Preparation for refinishing
  • Detailed quality control

Challenge

Concrete surfaces on luxury yachts experience very different conditions compared with buildings on land.

Constant exposure to:

  • Saltwater
  • UV radiation
  • High temperatures
  • Pool chemicals
  • Heavy foot traffic
  • Regular cleaning

can gradually affect the appearance and texture of decorative concrete finishes.

The objective was to restore the surface evenly while preserving the original architectural finish and avoiding unnecessary material removal.

Working aboard a superyacht also requires exceptional attention to detail, cleanliness and coordination with other contractors to protect surrounding materials and minimise disruption.

The Result

The decorative concrete surfaces were successfully restored to provide a clean, even foundation for the next stage of finishing.

Through careful preparation and controlled sanding, the project helped preserve the quality and appearance expected throughout a modern superyacht while supporting the longevity of the finished surface.

Why Surface Preparation Matters

The quality of any decorative concrete finish depends heavily on the preparation beneath it.

Poor surface preparation can lead to:

  • Visible imperfections
  • Uneven appearance
  • Reduced durability
  • Premature coating failure
  • Higher long-term maintenance costs

Professional preparation helps ensure subsequent treatments perform as intended while maintaining the premium appearance expected aboard a luxury yacht.
