FAQ
Boat maintenance questions, answered.
What maintenance does a boat need?
Washdowns after every run, monthly inspections, quarterly wax or sealant, annual gelcoat check, bottom paint every 12–18 months, anode replacement, engine flushes and seasonal interior care. The checklist above is the full version.
Who should perform annual maintenance on your boat?
Routine vessel care belongs with a dedicated care team. Engine, electronics, rigging and heavy gelcoat correction belong with certified marine specialists. We handle the first and coordinate the second so you have one point of contact.
Is boat maintenance expensive?
It's predictable when it's scheduled and expensive when it's reactive. Owners on a monthly plan typically spend 30–40% less per year than owners who only call when something looks bad.
