Vessel management

Owning or operating a vessel is mostly the parts nobody photographs. Crew who stay. Maintenance that happens before something fails. Invoices that make sense. Paperwork that is current when someone asks for it.

That is the work.

Private vessels

For owners who want the boat ready when they arrive, and want to stop wondering what the last invoice was for.

Crew — recruitment, contracts, certification currency, rotation, payroll coordination.

Planned maintenance — a schedule the vessel actually follows, with work specified and quoted before it is authorised.

Compliance — flag state, class survey where applicable, certification renewals.

Budget and reporting — an annual operating budget, monthly reporting against it, and yard invoices checked line by line.

A standing point of contact who has been aboard.

Commercial fleets

For operators running vessels as a business.

Season utilisation — the calendar planned and filled, turnarounds tightened, downtime treated as lost revenue rather than an inconvenience.

Crew and guides — certification currency across a rotating crew, drills, watchkeeping.

Safety and compliance — flag state and survey readiness, safety management, incident procedure.

Marketing and customer service — the commercial side of the operation, run properly.

Charter and itinerary planning — and running the charters themselves.

We do not take your clients

We are paid a management fee, not a commission on your guests. We run no charter brand of our own competing for them, and there is nothing for us to gain from a booking going anywhere except to you.

That is also written down. Every management agreement we sign carries non-solicitation and non-circumvention terms: your client list, your bookings and your guest relationships remain yours, during the engagement and after it ends.

Who this is for, and who it is not

It works when an owner or operator wants one accountable person, transparent costs, and someone who goes aboard.

It does not work when what is wanted is the cheapest possible administrator, or a manager who will approve whatever the yard proposes. We will not be either.
