What our clients say

“Thalia’s extensive brightwork has been one of her distinguishing characteristics, and no compromises can be made when it comes to quality of finish while meeting those strict deadlines…

…Ronald Razo and his team at NZ Yachts Varnishing … have consistently delivered the highest quality we demand aboard Thalia, and has been able to do it in short time frames. He and his crew have come in on late nights and weekends to work around other contractor’s schedules.

…I am receiving quality that meets or exceeds what I would consider the highest of standards in the world.”
