When SuperYacht Times featured BMComposites for our work on the iconic 73m Coral Ocean and the legendary M5 sailing yacht, it was a proud moment, but also a chance to talk about something much bigger: 

How composite materials are redefining the future of superyacht refits. 

Read the full Superyacht Times article here.

From our base in Palma de Mallorca, we’ve spent two decades pioneering composite solutions for the most complex projects in the superyacht industry. What makes composites so powerful? Efficiency. Precision. And a total rethink of what’s possible. 

In a world dominated by aluminium and steel, composites give refit projects a critical edge. And when it comes to superyacht refits, composite materials are no longer a luxury; they are the future, here is why:

• Significant weight reduction (key for stability-sensitive structures like hardtops and biminis)
• Faster installation (our Coral Ocean structure went on in two days – no hotworks needed)
• Less disruption to other trades during the refit cycle
• Better finish with fewer fairing and painting cycles

We build large, complex structures off-site in our purpose-built Son Moro workshop while other teams carry on work at the yard, that way we are minimizing downtime and maximizing precision. For busy charter yachts, that means earning while we’re engineering. 

For Coral Ocean, we engineered a new 140m² sky lounge from composite foam-cored panels with dual electric sunroofs and a sleek nav mast. This Lürssen superyacht received a major deck transformation that became the “jewel” of the refit based on the Judges’ Special Award at the 2023 Boat International World Superyacht Awards.

For M5, the world’s largest single-masted sailing yacht, we delivered three custom carbon-fibre hardtops and helm upgrades, balancing cutting-edge AV and lighting integration with Adriana Monk’s refined design aesthetic.

We combine 3D scanning, CAD modeling, and CNC-machined tooling to deliver millimetre-perfect results that are structurally sound and visually stunning. It’s not just about construction, but also about translating vision into reality with efficiency and without compromise.

Composites aren’t just a material choice, we see them as a design philosophy. They unlock lighter, smarter, more sustainable builds with faster turnarounds and less compromise. And for refits, that’s gold.

Whether you’re a superyacht captain, project manager, or shipyard, BMComposites offers a seamless refit solution from concept to completion. Designed in Mallorca, delivered anywhere.
