Stormwatch, in every plan
When high wind or heavy rain is coming, we check fenders, dock lines, scuppers and the bilge before and after the storm, whatever your regular schedule. Stormwatch starts with gusts of 35 mph or more or an inch of rain in a day; if we checked in the last week, we check after the storm only, unless the weather is severe.
Maintenance arranged for you
Bottom cleaning by a diver, zincs and anodes, engine service and repairs: we gather quotes, lay out your options and book the work with a licensed pro once you approve. Out-of-water work goes through a boatyard. Your manufacturer's maintenance schedule always comes first.

Questions
Do I need to be at the boat?
No. We visit on our schedule and send you a report with photos after every visit. Tell us in the app when you are taking the boat out so we skip that visit.
What if you find a problem?
Small things, like a loose line or a clogged scupper, we fix on the spot. Anything more, we tell you right away with photos and, with your approval, book a qualified pro.
Does running my engines cost extra?
Yes. Running an engine takes real time, about 25 minutes per engine with the flush, so it is a $40 per engine add-on rather than hidden in the plan price.
Is this a marine survey?
No. A visual check records what we saw that day. It is not a marine survey or a certification that the boat is seaworthy.
