We are pleased that three leading yacht service providers -- Lodestone Yachts, Marine Service Asia and NextWave Yachting are now stationing at LYC's service yard to provide yacht care, maintenance and yacht management services, among others.
Unlocking the Club's full potential
Adjacent to the Marina, LYC Service Yard is a one-stop service area where boating needs are addressed. The service area is equipped with travel lift and forklift for haul-out services, with hardstand, dry stack and storage lockers available to provide regular maintenance work or storage. The yard is also supported by a diesel fuel gas station nearby. LYC hopes to strengthen its service offerings to make the sailing experience easy-peasy for all yachting aficionados.
