Beyond Guardianage: Why You Still Need Technical Oversight

Even with a guardianage service, many owners assume everything is handled—until a problem surfaces. We provide independent technical verification twice a year, ensuring your vessel is genuinely seaworthy and compliant.

Pre‑Season Check: Ready Before You Arrive

Scheduled shortly before the season, this inspection confirms your yacht is ready for safe use.

  • Structural hull and deck scan (visual + non‑destructive testing)

  • System power‑up test (electrical, propulsion, electronics)

  • Safety gear & expiry check (flares, life jackets, fire systems)

  • Flag‑state documentation & insurance compliance review

  • Moisture and corrosion hotspots (bilges, engine bay, keel bolts)

You receive a digital inspection report with photos, technical notes, and urgent recommendations—so you can board with confidence.

Post‑Season Check: Catch Issues Before They Sit

After the season, yachts may be idle for months. That’s when small problems become big ones.

  • Fluid leaks, corrosion, or damage after use

  • Battery and shore power system condition

  • Winter lay‑up compliance and ventilation review

  • System shutdown validation (prevent electrical drain or mold)

This report helps you anticipate repairs or upgrades before next season, giving you leverage with contractors.

You Stay Remote—We Stay Objective

  • Bulk‑purchase parts strategy

  • Seasonal lay‑up vs. all‑year cruising planning

  • Upgrade roadmap (solar, lithium batteries)

Success Snapshot: €4,500 Prop Shaft Fault Detected Early

A pre‑season check revealed early wear on a misaligned propeller shaft coupling. Left unaddressed, it would’ve damaged the gearbox mid‑season. Timely correction cost under €400—saving over €4,500 in potential gearbox repairs.

Key Takeaways

  • Seasonal checks protect your investment—even if you already use guardianage.

  • Independent verification means unbiased advice.
