Premier Yacht Management & Care
As a seasoned Captain and Sailing Instructor, I bring a professional, hands-on approach to the care of your vessel. My services go beyond basic boat management; they ensure your yacht remains in pristine, ready-to-sail condition, protecting your investment and maximizing your enjoyment on the water. In our industry, many providers offer basic maintenance. But when you hire me, you aren't hiring a rotating crew of hourly technicians; you are hiring an experienced, professional Captain who treats your yacht as if it were my own.
The Captain's Weekly Watch
Your boat will receive a personal, detailed inspection from me, your dedicated captain, once every week.
Engine & Generator Exercise: We bring the main engine and generator up to operating temperature every week. This critical step prevents damaging moisture build-up and ensures all systems are ready for immediate use.
System Integrity Check: I personally inspect and clean sea strainers to maintain proper flow and efficiency while verifying the optimal operation of air conditioning systems.
Comprehensive Fluid & Bilge Check: Visual inspection for leaks, checking fluid levels, and ensuring bilge pumps and alarms are functioning correctly.
Visual Inspection: Checking lines, fenders, covers, and general deck security.
Monthly Maintenance & Cleaning
A clean boat is a protected boat. Once a month, your yacht will receive a thorough deep wash to prevent degradation from sun, salt, and environmental factors.
Exterior Wash: Full exterior wash, including non-skid, brightwork, and windows.
In-Depth System Review: A more comprehensive review of electrical, plumbing, and safety equipment.
