Why Preventative Maintenance Matters

The best yacht programs don't just react to problems — they prevent them. Structured maintenance catches issues early, protects your investment, and keeps your yacht ready when you need it.

Protect Owner Trips & Charters

Prevent breakdowns during scheduled trips or charter bookings. Well-maintained systems mean fewer cancellations and happier guests.

Reduce Long-Term Costs

Small maintenance issues caught early cost far less than major repairs. Preventative care extends equipment life and protects resale value.

Maintain Safety & Reliability

Regular inspections and maintenance ensure critical systems are operating safely and reliably when you're underway or at anchor.

The Challenge Most Owners Face

Without structured maintenance programs, yachts often operate on a "fix it when it breaks" basis. This leads to:

Unexpected breakdowns during owner trips
Expensive emergency repairs at inconvenient locations
Lost charter revenue and cancellations
Cascading failures from neglected systems

How Our Management Program Works

A structured approach to yacht management that's tailored to your vessel, usage patterns, and operational goals.

1

Initial Assessment & Program Design

We start with a comprehensive assessment of your yacht's current condition, systems, and maintenance history. Then we design a custom maintenance program based on your actual usage patterns, cruising areas, and operational goals.

Vessel systems review
Usage pattern analysis
Custom schedule creation
Owner priorities discussion

Scheduled Inspections & Maintenance

Regular inspections and maintenance tasks are performed on schedule — not just when something breaks. We check engine room systems, helm electronics, safety equipment, and all critical systems to catch issues early.

Routine system checks
Filter and fluid changes
Equipment testing
Detailed documentation

Issue Identification & Resolution

When we identify issues during inspections, we provide clear recommendations with priority levels and cost estimates. We can coordinate vendor services or guide your crew through repairs, ensuring work is done correctly.
