Brightwork Varnishing
Mirror-depth high-gloss finishes on toe rails, cap rails, coamings, companionways and deckhouses, built up coat by coat, flatted between each one.

The deepest finish on the dock.
JamPro Yacht Varnishing creates mirror-deep brightwork of an unrivalled standard, entirely by hand. Each coat is individually applied, flattened and refined to achieve remarkable depth, clarity and lasting beauty.
With more than 25 years of experience across Mediterranean and Caribbean yachting seasons, JamPro has earned the trust of captains and owners who expect uncompromising craftsmanship, and a standard of finish they keep coming back for.

Who we are
A varnishing team that treats brightwork as joinery, not decoration
JamPro was founded in 2001 by Tony “Jamrock” Nicholas, who brought a Caribbean boatbuilding upbringing to the superyacht fleet in Palma. Two decades later the approach hasn't changed: obsessive preparation, disciplined dust control, and coating schedules that are followed to the letter.
We work around the rest of the deck programme, keep the site clean, and hand back work that photographs as well as it looks in the flesh.
More about JamProWhat we do
Specialist yacht finishing, start to handover
Restoration & Refinishing
Tired, lifting or water-stained brightwork brought back to life without losing the character of original wood.
New Build Finishing
Final finishing for new construction and refit projects, working alongside yards and other trades to a fixed launch date.
Coatings & Protection
Protective marine coatings and antifouling to keep hulls and exterior wood defended against UV, salt and season after season of use.
Seasonal Maintenance
Scheduled maintenance coats that keep a finish alive for years instead of letting it fail and forcing a full rebuild.
Worldwide Mobile Team
Based in Palma, working across the Mediterranean, the Caribbean and beyond, we travel to the vessel, wherever she is lying.
The process
Depth is earned in the preparation
Every project runs the same disciplined sequence, the only thing that changes is how many coats the finish calls for.
- 01
Survey & schedule
We inspect the brightwork, agree the system and the coat count, and fit the work around the yacht's programme.
- 02
Strip, repair & mask
Failed coatings removed, wood repaired and bleached where needed, surrounding surfaces fully protected.
- 03
Build the coats
Sealer and build coats applied and flatted between each one, tinted and matched to the existing work.
- 04
Finish & hand back
Final gloss or satin coats laid off, site cleaned down, and a maintenance schedule handed over.
What our clients say about JamPro
References from the captains we work for
“Tony carried out refinish work on Meraki's brightwork during various stops in Palma. The work involved stripping back, building up and finishing large areas and lots of isolated patching, tinting and matching projects. All the work was carried out inside the time allotted and of excellent quality. Tony and his team worked around the many other jobs taking place on deck and managed his team efficiently, all the work was done cleanly, well organised and of excellent standard. I would like to echo the recommendation of his company for any varnish projects, large or small.”
Mark Thirkettle MNI IIIMS
Master, SY Meraki
“Tony has completed two spells of varnishing work for us, including two weeks living aboard. His professionalism and dedication to the job shone through, meticulous preparation and set up, excellent product knowledge and a real love of the craft. He conducted himself in a courteous manner throughout and I would happily have him back for future varnishing work.”
Rob Russell
Captain, SY Catalina
“I have known Tony for quite a few years now. I have seen him progress, with job size increasing respectively. I have found Tony to be diligent, timely, true to his word. His product knowledge and varnish skills are excellent. He always takes onboard requests and preferences willingly. I would gladly recommend him (and team) for your varnish project large or small.”
