CLIMATE CONTROL The ingenuity of our Hampton yard team is on display with this mobile shipping container doubling as efficient storage and climate control while performing upgrades on the Viking convertible Contango . BLUEWATER YACHT YARDS Hampton, VA and Wanchese, NC Photos by Harry Hindmarsh / Cabin Fever Productions The Underdog , a 57-foot charter boat built by Island Boatworks, should have a leg up on the competition after a repower this past winter. Cuttin' Up , a 64’ Viking, had her Palm Beach Tower lowered by 4 feet so the boat could easily fit under the Rudee Inlet bridge. The relationships Bluewater has with our owners, captains, and crews position us to be the perfect long-term service partner for the life of a boat. This 61’ Viking is in for paint touch-up, fiberglass repairs, and new transom name. As boats change hands, we usually remain the service partner and know the boat’s full history. Spray , the 61’ Eastbay received a new exterior paint job, new bottom paint and a new set of outriggers. SERVICE CORNER The 55’ Jarrett Bay Fender Bender receiving a new teak cockpit and covering boards while also being prepped for topcoat. The indoor service bays are nearly always full and bustling with activity. 52 BLUEWATER
