Boat Plumbing Leak Repair – A Real Case from Boka Bay
Even the most advanced yachts are not immune to plumbing leaks. Hidden beneath polished teak and luxury interiors, a small leak can turn into a costly, time-consuming problem. At Yachtservice.me, we recently assisted a client moored in Tivat Marina whose yacht suffered multiple plumbing leaks that threatened the interior and water systems. What began as a minor drip near the sink evolved into a more complex issue requiring expert diagnosis and a full repair process.
This case highlights how our Boka Bay yacht service team approaches such challenges—with precision, technical expertise, and an unwavering commitment to quality.
The Client’s Challenge
A yacht owner contacted us after noticing water pooling under the galley sink and inconsistent pressure from the freshwater system. Within days, a faint odor developed in the bathroom area, indicating a possible graywater leak. The client had just begun the summer charter season and needed a quick, reliable solution without interrupting upcoming bookings.
Our team of yacht technicians in Montenegro responded immediately, offering an on-site inspection in Tivat.

The Yachtservice.me Repair Process
1. Precision Leak Detection
We used advanced diagnostic tools and moisture sensors to trace every point of leakage without unnecessary dismantling. This approach minimizes disruption to interiors—a key advantage for luxury yacht owners.
2. Component Replacement
All compromised hoses, seals, and connectors were replaced with marine-grade, corrosion-resistant components designed for high-pressure systems and saltwater exposure.
3. Pressure and Flow Testing
Once repairs were completed, we pressure-tested the system to ensure no leaks or weak joints remained. The freshwater lines regained full, consistent pressure across all taps and showers.
4. Preventive Measures
Our technicians applied protective coatings to metal fittings, installed vibration dampers to reduce hose strain, and re-secured lines to prevent future wear.
5. Final Quality Check
After 24 hours, the system was rechecked. All fittings remained completely dry, with optimal water pressure maintained across the yacht.
The Results
The yacht was back in operation the same evening—fully functional and safe for guests. The owner noted immediate improvements:
