Winter Service for Liveaboards & Dive Charter Vessels
Many liveaboards, dive charter vessels, and expedition boats spend the winter period in Dutch ports for maintenance, repairs, or preparation for the next diving season.
This period is the ideal moment to have your diving equipment professionally inspected, serviced, and prepared for future operations. Anthias supports international dive operators with complete service solutions for their onboard diving equipment.
From regulators and BCDs to cylinders, drysuits, and other diving equipment, we make sure your gear is safe, reliable, and ready for the season ahead.
Hassle-free service during your winter stay
Managing a vessel maintenance period involves many different suppliers and schedules. Anthias makes the process easier by taking care of the complete logistics around your dive equipment.
We can arrange the collection of your equipment directly from your vessel in the harbor, transport it to our workshop, perform all required servicing and repairs, and return everything once the work is completed.
This means your crew does not need to organize transport, move large quantities of equipment, or spend valuable time managing the service process.
From the moment your equipment leaves the vessel until it is returned onboard, Anthias takes care of the entire process.

A trusted partner during your winter refit
Every vessel has a different schedule and operational requirements. Whether your boat is staying in the Netherlands for a few weeks or undergoing a longer winter refit, we can adapt our service to your planning.
By carrying out inspections and repairs during the off-season, potential problems can be identified before they impact your operations. This helps reduce downtime and ensures your equipment is ready when your first guests return onboard.
