Yacht Management

There is a significant amount of downtime with many vessels in Florida. Customers leave for the northern climates in spring and return in the fall. Many boats are left in the water and need to be looked after. We travel to the boat on scheduled intervals and check bilges, batteries, run engines and add fuel with fresh stabilizer. In the event of an impending hurricane, we arrange for our customer's boat to be put on the hard. The number one cause of sinkings on moorings is dead batteries due to bilge pump failures.
