On-Board Service
Who we are – experience meets innovation
Captains First Aid grew out of our work with Campers First Aid. While providing mobile repairs for motorhomes across the Algarve, we were repeatedly called to boats and yachts facing similar technical issues on board. Electrical problems, water systems, batteries or installations – the challenges were familiar, just in a different environment. ... Over time, it became clear that the marine environment and the work directly on board appealed to us even more. The technical demands, the conditions at sea and the responsibility for reliable systems required the same precision and problem-solving mindset we had already built our reputation on. What started as occasional support soon developed into a clear focus. We decided to offer our German-quality workmanship not only on land, but also on the water.
Our team brings many years of hands-on technical experience from mobile service and workshop operations in Germany. Thousands of hours spent on repairs, upgrades, installations and optimisations now flow directly into our daily work on board boats and yachts. We understand that reliability, clean work and clear communication are essential – especially in a marine environment. Whether in a marina, harbour or at anchor: Captains First Aid delivers professional on-board service across the Algarve – precise, reliable and straightforward.
