  Horta : Repair Facilities

Boatyards

There is a 25-ton travelift and a crane can be hired in an emergency to lift a yacht on to the main wharf. A new and much larger ramp is being built in the commercial harbour.

Repair facilities are constantly improving, but still only minor repairs can be undertaken locally.

Hull & GRP Repair

With the rebuiding of Faial, after the earthquake, carpintarias (carpenters) proliferate, mainly around Horta and at some country villages. The best thing is to check with the marina office, when necessary.
