Planning your boat care
Vessel management.
Common questions.
What does vessel management include?
The agreed plan can combine care visits, preparation before your arrival, maintenance coordination, photos and owner updates. Scope depends on your boat and the support you want.
Can you visit my boat weekly?
Weekly visits or another recurring schedule can be discussed based on location, availability and vessel needs. Agree on the checklist, access arrangements and reporting before visits begin.
Do you carry out every repair yourself?
No. Routine care and practical support are agreed in advance. Specialist diagnostics and repairs are coordinated with qualified marine professionals, with your approval of the work.
Is the vessel reporting system an extra subscription?
The reporting system is included without an additional software fee across Captain Javier services, from recurring care visits to full-time support. Service work and any specialist costs are quoted separately.
