Professional Yacht Preparation & Technical Checks
Technical Inspection
A detailed inspection of bilges, machinery spaces, electrical systems and critical onboard equipment is carried out to identify leaks, faults, wear or potential failures before departure.
Navigation Prep
Navigation systems, charts, weather information and passage plans are carefully reviewed before departure. Routes, waypoints, potential hazards, safe ports and expected weather conditions are assessed to prepare the yacht for the intended passage.
Technical Systems & Reliability
Engines, electrical systems, electronics, rigging and sails are checked with particular attention to reliability, redundancy and potential points of failure before undertaking a long passage.
Final Review
Before departure, a final review confirms that the yacht, its essential systems, safety equipment, documentation and onboard spares are ready for the intended voyage. Any outstanding issues are identified and discussed before the yacht leaves the dock.

When Is a Yacht Preparation Review Recommended?
A professional review is particularly valuable before an ocean crossing or extended offshore passage, after purchasing a yacht or following a long period of inactivity, before a professional delivery or the start of a new season, and after a refit or the installation of new technical equipment.
Every yacht and intended passage is different. Tell me about your plans and I will assess what should be reviewed before departure.
