Owning a yacht brings moments of pure bliss into your life. Proper maintenance of your boat is key to enjoying those moments of bliss for years to come. Whether new to owning a vessel or a seasoned seafarer, here are some of our top yacht maintenance tips. 

Protect Your Yacht 

The best way to maintain your yacht and enjoy it for years is by protecting her from the elements. You can choose to protect your boat in many ways. Covered storage out of water will protect your vessel while not in use from damage due to prolonged water exposure. 

Another way to protect your yacht is by applying a layer of protection to the exterior. Waxes offer protection for a short time, as does polishing. Ceramic coating provides the ultimate protection for your boat. Acting as a barrier from common contaminants such as acid rain, salt, and carbon soot, ceramic coating is the longest-lasting yacht protection on the market. 

Routine Maintenance

Routinely checking your boat is also considered to be preventative yacht maintenance. During these checks, flush your engine, check the paint for peels or cracks, and inspect all surfaces for rips, tears, or stains. Catching minor damage and repairing it will often save you from having more extensive, costly repairs down the line. 

Regular Washdowns 

Washing your yacht each time she comes out of salt water is crucial to living your best life together. After each time out in the salty air, a freshwater rinse-off will maintain your yacht in good condition. Salt left on stainless steel or the exterior of your boat can corrode any protective layers, leading to oxidation, rust, or other significant damage. 

Mind the Products You Use 

While a washdown of your yacht is imperative to protecting your investment, an often overlooked detail is the kind of products you use for maintenance. PH-neutral soaps are best for your boat, removing contaminants while leaving any protective layers (such as wax). Water-soluble products are better for your yacht’s environment and offer excellent protection.
