Frequently Asked Questions

1. What exactly does a yacht management program include?

Our programs cover every aspect of vessel ownership — proactive maintenance, interior and exterior detailing, engine checks, repair coordination, captain and crew placement, insurance oversight, concierge services, and more. Think of us as your full operational team on the water. One relationship, one point of contact, everything handled.

2. How is YMS different from just hiring a full-time captain?

A captain handles one boat, works one schedule, and has one set of skills. YMS gives you an entire professional team — technicians, coordinators, and management staff — with no blind spots, no sick days that leave your vessel unattended, and no side gigs pulling focus away from your boat. It's a fundamentally different level of oversight.

3. Is professional management really worth the cost?

Absolutely! Consider what's at stake. A neglected vessel loses value fast — through deferred maintenance, undetected issues, and wear that compounds over time. Our clients consistently find that proactive management prevents the kind of costly repairs that far exceed the cost of the program itself. We're not an expense — we're protection for a serious asset.

4. I don't live in South Florida full time. Can you still manage my vessel?

This is exactly who we built our programs for. Whether you're up North for six months or traveling internationally, your vessel is being monitored, maintained, and kept show-ready. The Mariner Pro app keeps you fully informed in real time — so you always know what's happening, even when you're thousands of miles away.

5. How quickly can my vessel be enrolled in a management program?

We start with a complimentary vessel assessment to understand your boat, your schedule, and your ownership goals. From there we recommend the right program and can typically have management in place within a short onboarding period. The first step is simply scheduling a conversation.

6. What size and type of vessels do you manage?

We manage vessels from 25 to 100 feet across Southeast Florida — from Miami to Palm Beach. Whether you own a sportfish, a center console, or a large motor yacht, our programs are tailored to the specific needs of your vessel and how you use it.
