Yvon Icare is a highly experienced and renowned technician, who used to work on Superyachts in the French Riviera. He will service yachts wherever they are on the island, and is an agent for Caterpillar, MAN, IVECO, nanni diesel, ZF drive gear, aifo, and Desalator watermakers; and carries a good stock of spares for all these lines. He can also look after watermaker and electrical repairs, as required. His workshop is located within Artimer facilities in Marin (accessible by tender from the Marina) and last season saw us receiving excellent feedback for his competence and professionalism.
Hughes Marine is the highly recommended mech.engineering service that has made St. Barth become a technical stop of choice for some yachts, who are choosing to stop there specifically for his expertise! Besides his engineering expertise, Hughes also has great knowledge of all the electrical related problems. As he says, many problems come from electrical deficiency, and he deals with those issues on a regular basis (see ‘Mech.Engineering’ section for further info).
