Your boat stays ready. We handle everything.

The Idea

Owning a boat should be enjoyable.

The Service

What's included

• Regular vessel checks

  We inspect your boat on an agreed schedule: bilge levels, battery state, lines and fenders, any water ingress, deck and rigging condition. You get a summary after each visit.

• Maintenance scheduling

  We keep track of what's due, antifouling, engine service, rigging inspection, safety gear expiry, and coordinate the right tradespeople to get it done.

• Pre-departure preparation

  Before you head out, we make sure the boat is ready: fuel, water, batteries charged, safety gear in date, engine checks done.

• Post-trip washdown and tidy

  After a trip, we rinse down, tidy up, and leave her ready for next time.

• Winter lay-up and recommissioning

  Full preparation for the off-season: engine flushing, battery management, covering, dehumidification. And a thorough recommission when you're ready to go again.

• Systems monitoring

  Keeping an eye on bilge pumps, battery banks, refrigeration, and any electronics that need regular attention.

• Compliance and safety checks

  We make sure your vessel stays compliant with Maritime NZ requirements and that safety equipment is current and correctly stowed.

• Single point of contact

  One person who knows your boat, your preferences, and your schedule. No chasing tradespeople, no coordinating between parties, we handle it all.

Why It Works

Is This For You?

Who vessel management is for

Vessel management makes the most sense for owners who are time-poor, travel frequently, or have a boat that represents a significant investment and needs consistent attention. If you own a blue water or offshore vessel, a bluewater yacht, a quality motor cruiser, a passage-maker, you already know how much work goes into keeping her in proper condition. The engine service intervals, the rig inspections, the antifouling schedule, the safety gear, the systems checks. It's a lot to keep on top of alongside a busy life. Our vessel management clients range from owners who sail regularly but want someone else handling the organisation, to those who get out two or three times a year and need to know the boat is genuinely ready when they do. Either way, you get a trusted pair of hands on your boat and one less thing to think about.

Common Questions

FAQs

How often do you check in on the boat?

That's up to you, we'll agree a schedule that suits your boat and how you use it. Most clients opt for weekly or fortnightly checks when the boat is in the water, with monthly checks during lay-up. We'll recommend what makes sense for your vessel and let you know if anything comes up in between scheduled visits.

Do I still get to make decisions about my boat?

Always. We keep you informed and nothing significant gets done without your say-so. You'll receive a summary after each visit, and we'll contact you straight away if we find anything that needs attention. You stay in control, we just handle the day-to-day.

What areas do you cover?

We service boats across a wide stretch of the upper North Island, Auckland marinas (Westhaven, Half Moon Bay, Gulf Harbour, Orams), the Coromandel Peninsula, and Tauranga and the Bay of Plenty. If you're not sure whether we reach you, just get in touch and we'll confirm.
