Yacht Laundry and Dry Cleaning Services at Lauderdale Marine Center, Fort Lauderdale, FL

Get Started
Washmachine

Four miles up the New River, the rhythm is different. Lauderdale Marine Center isn't a destination marina — it's the largest yacht refit yard in the United States, where vessels settle in for 45-day average yard periods while contractors paint, polish, and rebuild around them. Crews are living aboard. Soft goods are stripped from cabins and stored. Workshirts collect varnish dust by the hour. And when a vessel finally splashes back into the water, every linen on board has to be ready for the owner's arrival. That's where Bright & Tidy Laundry fits in. We provide professional yacht laundry and dry cleaning services for boats in refit at Lauderdale Marine Center, scaled to the volume and timeline of life inside a working shipyard.

Laundry & Dry Cleaning Built Around Your Yard Period

A yard period at LMC isn't like a turnover at a charter marina. The textiles aboard see different wear, the schedules run longer, and the laundry needs come in distinct phases. Our service is structured to match that reality.

Crew laundry during the refit

When crew are aboard for weeks while the work goes on, personal laundry piles up fast — and so do the demands on uniforms. We run weekly or twice-weekly pickup schedules during yard periods, taking the load off engineers, mates, and stews who already have full days coordinating contractors. Wash, dry, and fold starts at $2.00/lb, and we handle bulk crew laundry on a recurring basis sized to your headcount.

Soft goods removed for refit

When cabins are being repainted, refloored, or rewired, curtains, slipcovers, throw covers, mattress protectors, and decorative pillow covers come out. We professionally clean each piece, package it for storage, and hold it until your interior team is ready to dress the cabins back up. This is the kind of bulk soft-goods work our equipment is built for — the same machines we use for oversized comforters and duvets through our bedding and comforter cleaning service.

Heavy-duty stain work

Working yards generate working stains. Varnish flecks, paint mist, grease from the engine room, primer dust on a deckhand's polo — none of it surrenders to a domestic washer. We pre-treat and process work uniforms, polos, deck shorts, and crew shirts so they can stay in service rather than getting tossed and replaced.

Pre-splash interior reset

Two or three weeks out from launch, the interior team starts rebuilding the boat for the owner. Bed linens, duvets, comforters, towels, bath sheets, robes, and table linens all need to be cleaned, pressed, and ready to dress. We coordinate a pre-splash production run so everything comes back fresh, organized by stateroom, and packaged for handoff.

Owner and guest garments

Some owners leave designer pieces aboard between visits, and they need attention before the owner returns. Our luxury dry cleaning team handles silks, cashmeres, and embellished pieces from the houses we regularly process.

What Makes Bright & Tidy a Fit for LMC Vessels

Refits run on logistics. So does our service. Here's what we bring to vessels in the yard:

  • Volume capacity that matches a full yacht textile inventory. Every linen, every uniform, every soft good from a 30- to 50-meter vessel, processed without bottlenecks.
  • A documented track record. Over 20,375 items processed, a 99.99% success rate, and no damage incidents on file — the kind of numbers worth checking when you're handing off someone else's $20,000 stateroom set.
  • Recurring scheduled pickup. Set the cadence once at the start of the yard period and stop thinking about laundry while you focus on contractor coordination.
  • Eco-friendly detergents and solvents that protect designer fabrics, hand-stitching, and fine-thread linens without dulling color.
  • Direct WhatsApp messaging in English and Spanish, which suits the multinational crews common at LMC.
  • Verified Google reviews — 58 of them, averaging 4.9 stars — that captains and chief stews can read before handing over a single bag.

Servicing Lauderdale Marine Center on the New River

Lauderdale Marine Center spans 65 acres along the New River, with five travel lifts (the largest rated to 485 tons), 19 covered sheds, 156 in-water slips, and 7,000 linear feet of dockage. Whether your vessel is hauled out, in a covered shed, on the work dock, or back in a wet slip after splash, we coordinate pickup and delivery directly with your captain, chief stew, or project manager. We work around contractor schedules and yard hours, so laundry handoffs never compete with paint days or sea trials.

For vessels here through hurricane season storage or extended refits, we set up a standing weekly schedule at the start of the yard period and scale up production as the splash date approaches.
