VMG Astilleros de Sagunto
Refit yard in the commercial port of Sagunto, north of Valencia, set up in 2020 by the Ibaizabal shipping group. In spring 2026 it completed a 5,000 t yacht shiplift built by Pearlson that takes yachts to about 120 m, alongside travel lifts for the 45 m class. Astilleros de Mallorca now brings larger Palma clients here for haul-outs it cannot do at home.
