Yacht Sanitization in Toulon
A deep working harbour on the Var coast, with room and few restrictions.
Toulon is a practical harbour rather than a showcase one. There is depth, there is quay, and there is none of the pressure that comes with a resort marina. For work like ours that is straightforwardly good news.
Room to work, which is rarer than it sounds
Half the difficulty in Mediterranean ports is logistics, not technique. Here that difficulty mostly disappears.
Units can stand where they should, hoses run a sensible route, and a van can get close enough to carry filters and panels off the yacht rather than stacking them in a corridor. None of that is glamorous and all of it decides whether a job is done properly.
It also means the day is not cut short. Work that would be squeezed into a four-hour window elsewhere can run from morning to evening, which matters for the air side, where most of the time goes on opening and closing rather than on cleaning.
For a yacht that needs a real list done rather than a quick pass, this is a better port to choose than one an hour further east.
Everything we can treat while you are in Toulon
The same six jobs make up almost every visit. On most yachts more than one of them is needed at the same time, which is why we survey first and then plan them into a single stop.
Fresh water system
Tanks, distribution lines and every outlet treated as one network, then checked.

Legionella testing and remediation
A sampling plan, accredited lab analysis, and treatment across the whole network if a sample comes back positive.
Read more
HVAC and air ducts
Ducts and air handling units opened, cleaned and checked, cabin by cabin.
Read more
Fan coils and air conditioning
Units opened, coils and filters cleaned, condensate trays checked — where the smell on start-up usually comes from.
Read more
Galley hoods and extraction
Filters, hood and the duct run behind it degreased, right up to the fan.

Odour and mould investigation
Finding where a smell or a damp patch actually starts, instead of covering it.

A good place to do the work you keep postponing
Toulon tends to be the stop where the list that has been carried for two seasons finally gets cleared.
If the yacht has been putting off the air side because there has never been space or time, this is where to book it.
For the water system, a full treatment and sampling here costs the same as anywhere else but is less likely to be interrupted.
From the first call to the report
The sequence is the same whichever berth you are on in Toulon. What changes is the timing, and that is planned around the yacht rather than around us.
We look before we quote
A technician goes through the yacht with the crew: which outlets are used daily and which almost never, where the air handling units sit, what the crew has actually noticed.
The visit is planned around you
We fit the work into the window you have — between charters, during a yard period, or over a quiet weekend alongside.
We work alongside
No yard move and no lift. The heavy equipment stays on the quay; only hoses and a small dosing unit come aboard, on protected decks.
You get it in writing
Sampling points, what was done, and the laboratory report where water was analysed. That document is what closes the job.
We come to the yacht, work at the berth and leave a written report. The crew keeps running the boat.

What a visit looks like
A few moments from the jobs we do on yachts every season: the equipment on the quay, the systems we open and the checks we close with. The same way of working applies in Toulon.

Working in Toulon: frequently asked questions
Is Toulon easier to work in than the Cote d’Azur ports?
Generally yes. There is more space, fewer restrictions on the quay and longer working days, which matters most for the air side.
Can you do a full air and water job in one visit?
If the window is long enough, yes. Tell us how many cabins and how many days and we will say plainly whether it fits.
Do you travel here from Italy?
Yes, on request. The dates are agreed in advance and we confirm what the travel means for the schedule before anything is booked.
Alongside in Toulon?
Tell us the yacht, the berth and how many days you have. A technician calls you back within 24 hours.
Tell us about the yacht
Yacht length, marina, systems and what you have noticed on board. A technician reads the message and calls you back to plan the survey.
