Yacht Management Services
Vessel monitoring, systems checks, owner reporting, storm preparation, vendor coordination, and captain-led logistics for Sarasota-area owners.
Your yacht, professionally maintained and watched over.
For owners who spend meaningful time away from their vessel, small dockside issues can go unnoticed. Shore-power interruptions, battery problems, bilge concerns, humidity, or restricted raw-water flow are easier to address when someone is checking the boat on a defined schedule.
Proactive Mechanical & Electrical Audits
Routine inspections of main engines, generators, shore power chargers, and raw water strainers before minor issues turn into cancelled trips.
Storm Preparation & Recovery
Pre-storm line and fender checks, canvas/stowage planning, and post-storm condition documentation as scoped for the vessel and plan.
Licensed Captain Logistics
USCG captain support and vessel logistics can be coordinated based on the request, vessel, and operating scope.
Documented Owner Reporting
Management plans can include photo updates, documented findings, and next-step recommendations so owners have a clear record of the visit.

Concierge Captain
Full-spectrum command, logistics, and staging

Photos give absentee owners visual context for condition, completed care, and anything that deserves attention.
Findings are translated into practical follow-up recommendations instead of leaving owners to interpret a checklist on their own.
