Professional Boat Galley Equipment Servicing – A Case from Boka Bay
When you live or cruise on a yacht, the galley isn’t just a kitchen—it’s the heart of your onboard lifestyle. From early-morning coffee to sunset dinners, reliable galley equipment defines the comfort and rhythm of life at sea. But in a marine environment filled with salt, humidity, and constant motion, even high-end appliances need regular care.
Recently, YachtService.me was called to assist a yacht owner in Tivat Marina whose galley systems were showing multiple signs of wear. The refrigerator was struggling to maintain temperature, the oven was producing uneven heat, and the sink drainage had slowed to a frustrating trickle. This real-world case perfectly demonstrates how our yacht service team in Montenegro brings expertise, precision, and safety back to every onboard galley.

Recently, YachtService.me was called to assist a yacht owner in Tivat Marina whose galley systems were showing multiple signs of wear. The refrigerator was struggling to maintain temperature, the oven was producing uneven heat, and the sink drainage had slowed to a frustrating trickle. This real-world case perfectly demonstrates how our yacht service team in Montenegro brings expertise, precision, and safety back to every onboard galley.
The Client’s Challenge
The owner of a 26-meter motor yacht reported:
- A refrigerator that cycled constantly but never fully cooled.
- Uneven oven temperatures, making it impossible to cook properly.
- Persistent humidity in the galley, with odors hinting at poor ventilation.
- Reduced water drainage in the sink, despite a recently replaced pump.
Diagnosis: A Combination of Electrical, Mechanical, and Environmental Issues
Upon inspection, our team uncovered several interconnected problems:
The YachtService.me Solution
Our service process for this yacht combined multiple specializations—marine electrical repair, gas system servicing, and appliance optimization—into one seamless operation.
1. Refrigerator and Freezer Repair
We replaced the failing thermostat and compressor relay, cleaned condenser coils, and recharged the refrigerant with a marine-approved compound for optimal cooling efficiency.
2. Stove and Oven Restoration
Burners were dismantled, degreased, and rebuilt using stainless-steel corrosion-resistant components. The oven’s temperature sensors were recalibrated, ensuring even heat distribution.
3. Drainage and Plumbing Improvement
The sink drain hose was removed and cleaned using a high-pressure descaling process, restoring full flow. Pump seals were checked and lubricated.
4. Ventilation and Airflow Optimization
A clogged duct was cleared, and the exhaust fan bearings were replaced. This immediately eliminated trapped humidity and unpleasant odors.
5. Electrical Safety and Wiring
Corroded connectors behind the oven panel were replaced with marine-grade insulated terminals, ensuring long-term safety and reliability.
Each system was retested after repair, followed by a full energy-efficiency calibration across all appliances.
The Results
After a single service visit, the yacht’s galley was fully operational:
Key Takeaways from This Case
Marine galleys face unique challenges that differ greatly from land-based kitchens. Regular servicing prevents small issues—like clogged vents or corroded fittings—from escalating into full system failures. Based on this case, we recommend:

On a modern yacht, comfort goes beyond luxury furnishings and fine design — it’s about how your vessel feels, sounds, and performs in every condition. Proper cabin insulation plays a crucial role in achieving that balance, providing thermal stability, energy efficiency, and peace on board.
A microwave is more than just a convenience on your yacht — it’s a key part of your onboard lifestyle. Whether you’re preparing breakfast before departure or reheating dinner after a day on the water, your galley depends on reliable appliances. However, the marine environment poses challenges that household microwaves never face: salt air, humidity, vibrations, and power fluctuations.
