Seacock Exercising

Like us seacocks need regular exercise to make sure they don’t seize up. We will open and close each one to prevent corrosion. They are after all, all that separates you from the ocean – so best to keep them healthy. Find out more

Fresh Water Rinse

Giving your boat a regular fresh water rinse will keep the bird droppings, salt, dust & pollen at bay. A good rinse down will also do wonders for the stainless steel, meaning less unsightly brown rust marks & polishing. Find out more

Hoist & Dry Sails

If its been particularly wet, on a dry day, we hoist the sails to remove excess water building up in the folds. This prevents moss and mould build up on the sails and generally makes them last longer.

Our Process

Getting to know you and your boat is paramount! Having owned boats ourselves, we know that trust is important when allowing someone to care for her. We're not just here to keep your boat safe and secure, we're here to help put your mind at rest that your boat is in good hands when you can't be there.

01 Contact

Fill in our enquiry form and we will quickly get back to you to book in a time to meet you at your boat for a full brief and walk through.

02 Meeting

We meet at the vessel and go through everything so that we know what you'd like done and how / where to access certain areas.

03 Care-taking

We start looking after your yacht, sending you monthly updates and photos, so you can regularly see her condition.

04 Management

If any maintenance or repair is needed we obtain quotes, submit them to you, oversee the project and workmanship, report back to you with photos.

Why Choose Us

Having spent the last 4 years living on our yacht and sailing around the world in both a monohull and catamaran we know how important it is to keep a yacht maintained. When you are not on board for long periods of time small things can go wrong, and turn into major issues. We understand that boats like to be run and used, but this is not always possible. So we intend to be there when you can't - to help keep maintenance and costs to a minimum.

Experienced

We know boats, having sailed both monohulls and catamarans we have over 60,000nm of combined sailing experience between us. If only we had logged the maintenance & cleaning hours done over those miles!

Always Available

If you need your boat provisioned, clean and ready to sail at short notice, or packed away after a Sunday sailing session - no problem, we're local!

Local

Being local means we can quickly get to your vessel when needed, this is imperative when storms creep up and lines and feeders need to be checked and adjusted.

We Simply Love Boats

We are passionate about boats and can't stand to see a boat being damaged or neglected.
