Owner without a yard
An owner or family office that wants the tender cared for between seasons without managing yards and schedules directly.
Service
Storage & Maintenance Management
We hold the service calendar so the crew does not have to: scheduled maintenance booked, winterisation managed, storage arranged, and a documented record that protects both reliability and resale value.

Engagement
How the engagement runs
Service plan
We build the maintenance calendar from the manufacturer's schedule and the boat's actual use, not a generic interval.
Winterisation
Lay-up managed properly: fuel and fluids, engine and jet preservation, batteries, and protection against corrosion and damp.
Storage
We arrange the right storage, ashore or in the garage, and manage access for any works carried out over the off-season.
Scheduled works
Servicing, antifoul, and warranty items booked and supervised with trusted yards, with the paperwork kept in order.
Recommissioning
The boat is brought back to readiness before the season, so it launches working rather than as a list of surprises.
Triggers
When to call us in
Long lay-up
A boat going into extended storage where poor preservation now becomes an expensive refit later.
Resale on the horizon
An owner planning to sell within a couple of years who wants a clean, documented service history to protect the value.
Fleet off-season
A charter fleet that needs every boat laid up, serviced, and recommissioned to a common standard on a deadline.
Background and detail
Most of a tender's life is spent not being used, and that is where value is quietly lost or protected. A boat that is laid up badly, serviced late, or stored without thought costs more in its next refit and sells for less when the time comes. Maintenance management is the unglamorous discipline of not letting that happen.
We build the service calendar from the manufacturer's schedule and the boat's actual use, then hold it so the crew does not have to. Winterisation is managed properly: fuel and fluids, engine and jet preservation, batteries, and protection against corrosion and damp. We arrange the right storage, ashore or in the garage, supervise any scheduled works and antifoul with trusted yards, and keep the paperwork in order. Our guide to tender maintenance and winter storage sets out the routine in detail, and the question of when maintenance gives way to replacement is covered in refit or replace.
The documented record is the part owners undervalue until they sell. A clean, complete service history is one of the few things that reliably defends a tender's resale value, and it is far easier to keep than to reconstruct.
Where it sits
Storage and maintenance management is the natural home for a boat after delivery and crew familiarisation, and it feeds directly into an accurate valuation when an owner decides to move the boat on.

Guides that feed this work
Superyacht Tender Maintenance and Winter Storage
A superyacht tender needs servicing on a schedule, careful hull and corrosion management, and proper winterisation if it is to last and hold value. This guide sets out the intervals, the storage choices and the record that protects resale.
Read the guide →Tender Refit: When to Refit vs Replace
A tender that has run eight or ten seasons is rarely worn out, it is out of step with the yacht it serves. This guide works the refit-versus-replace decision hull by hull: when a refit pays back, and when the money belongs in a replacement.
