Introducing our State-of-the-Art Spray Painting Bay

Johanson Boatworks now offers a 1440-square-foot, state-of-the-art spray-painting bay at our yacht service yard on Route 90 (Farwell Drive) in Rockland. The new steel building enables us to paint yachts up to 55 feet long in a dedicated, climate-controlled environment which is removed from other projects and unaffected by outdoor weather.



Key components to our consistently smooth and flawless paint jobs are the isolation of the spray bay, together with the highly efficient heat make-up system that warms incoming air to maintain a constant temperature even in the dead of winter, as well as exhaust fans that immediately remove any overspray. An extensive lighting system ensures the accuracy of every paint application.

Johanson Boatworks typically uses both Awlgrip and Alexseal yacht coatings, and can apply varnish in the spray bay as well. The same painting process also provides excellent results for yacht masts and booms, and even furniture. The facility has already attracted a number of spray-painting projects from other boatyards.
