General Boat Maintenance

Owning a well maintained yacht is one of life’s real pleasures. Pride of ownership in a boat can be seen and felt. Whether you’re cruising the coastline in a powerboat or harnessing the power of the wind in a bluewater sailboat, the freedom of the open water is unlike any other experience. Boats inevitably change hands eventually, so we are all temporary stewards of our vessels. Planning ahead for the day you sell is something you need to keep in mind from day one.

If you've ever had a boat with any significant amount of teak, you know exactly what we mean about having a love/ hate relationship with it. On the one hand, the natural beauty and longevity of teak are hard to beat. Under foot, natural teak provides excellent footing, even when wet. It adds a timeless and functional aesthetic to boats of all shapes and sizes. On the other hand, teak maintenance can be costly and time consuming.

f you own a yacht and live in a hurricane-prone area—like Florida, the Gulf Coast, or the East Coast—then hurricane season is a real and present threat to your vessel, your finances, and your peace of mind.
