Maximize your sail time...let VesselCare do the work...

A full‑cycle seasonal service for owners who store their vessel locally. When you’re ready to arrive, VesselCare brings your boat out of storage, cleans, checks, and prepares it for the sailing season so it’s ready to step aboard and go. When your season ends, we reverse the process: securing the vessel, packing it down, placing it on a mooring or coordinating haul‑out with a yard, and ensuring everything is properly protected for storage. A smooth, worry‑free transition in and out of the water, every season.

Basic Care Package pricing is customized depending on your requirements, the location, and access to the vessel, as well as the age and condition of your boat. Please inquire with our support team for a direct quotation.

Owner Arrival Notification

Owners simply tell us when they plan to arrive. We confirm timing, check storage status, and schedule the vessel’s retrieval so everything moves smoothly into the launch window.

Storage Retrieval

We bring the vessel out of its storage location — whether yard, rack, or mooring — and begin the transition from layup to active season. This includes verifying that the vessel was stored correctly and noting any changes since the last visit.

Cleaning & Recommissioning

A full pre‑season refresh: exterior washdown, interior tidy‑up, ventilation, and system wake‑up. We check batteries, bilges, lines, safety gear, and essential systems so the vessel is clean, functional, and ready to sail.

Launch & Handover

We position the vessel where the owner needs it — on a mooring, at a dock, or ready at the yard. When the owner arrives, the boat is already prepared, aired out, and ready to step aboard.

End‑of‑Season Pack‑Down

When the owner departs, we reverse the process: securing sails, covers, lines, systems, and interior spaces. We remove perishables, dry out compartments, and prepare the vessel for safe storage.

Mooring or Haul‑Out Coordination

Depending on the owner’s preference and the vessel’s needs, we either place the boat on a secure mooring or coordinate haul‑out with a trusted yard. All actions are documented for continuity and future reference.

Secure Storage & Monitoring

Once stored, we ensure the vessel is properly protected for the off‑season. This includes tie‑downs, ventilation, lock‑up, and any required monitoring so the vessel remains safe until the next launch cycle.
