IMM – International Marine Management - Guadeloupe

IMM brings top-quality refit to the heart of Caribbean, providing options and flexibility for the largest yachts.

The company was founded in 2007, but IMM’s principal, Fabrice Maitre, has been in the yachting industry for over 25 years. Alongside the first-rate project management skills of Norina Edelman, they offer the highest European standard quality in project management across a range of non-traditional locations.

IMM’s headquarters in Guadeloupe offer a range of refit and maintenance service. The 700T floating dock is capable of easily hauling out yachts up to 55m LOA. Fabrice and his team have a wide experience across a range of complex refit and maintenance projects on superyachts.

As well as being a conveniently located facility for emergency mid-season repairs, IMM’s Guadeloupe operations allow for both economical and timely scheduled maintenance and surveys. Whether it’s to make the most of downtime between charters or to save on fuel costs and travel time by using Guadeloupe as a waypoint before heading through the Panama Canal for Pacific cruising.

“I had always been doubtful as to whether a shipyard period could ever be managed effectively in the Caribbean. IMM certainly answered that question. I cannot speak highly enough of the efficiency, professionalism and expertise that exists within the IMM facility. It matched any shipyard to which I had previously been,” reported the captain of a 50m motor yacht that used the floating docks.

With its new partnership with FKG, IMM is also able to provide top-quality rigging from its base in Guadeloupe, which allows pulling of even the largest of masts. IMM has a formidable team, initiating a new era for Caribbean superyacht refit and repair.
