I was perfectly welcomed by the Yachtport staff and was able to leave my boat for 4 months moored at the single dock of the shipyard.
Although Langebaan is not a port of entry Secretary Leona was kind enough to drive me to carry out the formalities of customs. She also helped me in all my steps on site, car rental etc.
Glenn, the site technical manager, is very friendly and my boat was taken care of during my absence. He is competent, very pleasant and with his team is at the service of boaters.
I recommend this site to leave your boat safely at a reasonable price.

We had work done at Yachtport in Saldanha and were treated terribly. The scope of work was to repaint hull, replace engines and paint engine rooms while old engines were out. Glen at the yard gave us a reasonable quote and time frame, 3 months.
Acceptable, but then proceeded to take on other jobs and put us in the back of the line while we were away. Calls were never returned and progress was always overstated in emails. In the end, most of the work was done last minute, poorly or not at all, such as engine rooms which sat engine free for 6 weeks! When paint finally was slathered on the day before engines went in, it did not have correct hardener and is a sticky mess to this day… needless to say we did not pay for this disaster! The bottom was stripped and ready to paint for 5 weeks and last minute paint was barely dry by the time we launched in March. Then the last minute efforts to get done with the topsides, they were short coated and the primer was showing through in many spots – contract stated 3 coats of paint.
The boat is currently being repainted in Trinidad and any effort to get refunded have been futile.
To top it all off the Yachtport sits next to an Iron ore plant and your entire boat will be stained in a matter of days when the wind blows the “wrong” way!
