“Our Eyes are Here When You’re Not Near”
Service Details
Tailored to suit your vessel, schedule, and budget, our services ensure the utmost care of your prized investment. From securing mooring lines to managing sophisticated systems, our expert team diligently assesses every aspect, ensuring your vessel remains in pristine condition. Trust us to be the vigilant guardians of your vessel, preserving its integrity and your peace of mind.
Mooring Lines
Secure mooring is the first line of defense for your vessel against the unpredictable waters. Our checks guarantee that your mooring lines are not just secure, but optimally positioned to withstand varied marine conditions.
Shore Power, Batteries, & Charging Systems
The heart of your vessel’s electrical integrity lies in its shore power, batteries, and charging systems. Our rigorous inspections ensure these critical components are functioning flawlessly, safeguarding against power failures and electrical hazards.
Bilges, Bilge Pumps, & Sea Strainers
Our comprehensive checks of bilges, bilge pumps, and sea strainers ensure that your vessel remains free from unwanted water and debris.
Contractor Oversight & Recommendations
We act as your advocate, verifying the quality, efficiency, and suitability of the services provided, ensuring that your vessel not only receives the best care but also benefits from informed improvements and enhancements.
Engine Fluids & Warmups
The lifeblood of your vessel’s performance lies in its engine fluids and their maintenance. Our thorough checks include assessing oil levels, coolant integrity, and conducting regular engine warmups.
Air Conditioning & Heating System
Comfort on your vessel is not a luxury; it’s a necessity. Our detailed inspection of your air conditioning and heating systems ensures they are in peak working order, providing a comfortable and safe environment regardless of the weather outside.
Generator Cycle & Check
Our in-depth generator cycle and check ensure your power source is always ready for action. We inspect for optimal operation, fuel efficiency, and potential issues, ensuring your generator provides a steady, dependable power supply.
How often should you start your boat?
Boat engines need to be started once every 2 weeks. Starting your Boat on a regular basis helps keep engine and seals lubed, helps increase the life of your raw water pump impellers and helps reduce corrosion and buildup in your engine and fuel system.
Additional benefits can also be gained by the running of your Boat. Carbon buildup can be reduced, diesel motors achieve proper temperature under load compared to gas motors and it helps keep your running gear lubed and the bottom of the boat cleaner.
