Are you concerned about your boat when you are gone? Would you like someone to check on it while you are away for the summer or while on vacation? Have one of our Captains stop by periodically, and we will email a notice letting you know the status of each boat visit.
Our Captain will check on the boat, lift and dock, and immediately report any issues. You may create a custom checklist to be gone through as often as you like; every week, every month or even every few days. Choose from a simple visual check outside the boat, or a thorough check of all systems including electronics.
Common requests are:
• Ensure that the lines are secure, and fenders are in place
• Check sail covers and deck canvas
• Make sure hatches and companionways are locked and secure
• Visually check the boat lift and dock
• Ensure shore power cord(s) are connected
• Make sure the battery is charging/charged
• Check that the bilge pump is running correctly
• Vacuum out any standing water
• Make sure the A/C and/or dehumidifier are running
• Check that no mildew or mold are forming
• Check for cabin leaks or any water intrusion
• Run the engine and generator periodically
• Flush the heads periodically
• Report status of the boat after a tropical storm
