A survey is a snapshot.
The Yacht Doctor builds continuity: monthly checks, documented findings, and a vessel record that gets smarter over time.
The Vessel Wellness Program
Preventive care that actually looks inside the boat.
We are not selling a quick glance at the dock. Every monthly visit is designed to exercise key systems, document changes, and give you a clear plan before small issues become expensive lost weekends.
Check fit for your vesselSystems inspection
Batteries, bilge pumps, shore power, strainers, plumbing, safety gear, corrosion, and visible wear are checked against the vessel baseline.
Digital health record
Photos, notes, service evidence, component details, and recommendations live in one record so the boat has memory.
Plain-English report
You get a prioritized summary: what is healthy, what to watch, what should be planned, and what needs attention now.
Real Findings, Not Stock Promises
The value is in what gets noticed early.
Priority finding
Corrosion at starter connections
Small electrical symptoms become big boating-day problems. This is the kind of evidence that belongs in the owner report before the boat fails to start.
Watch item
Debris in sea strainer
Cooling issues often start quietly. Monthly checks create a repeatable way to catch restriction risk.
Trend risk
Alternator corrosion
Electrical reliability depends on the little things staying little.
Owner Report Preview
A clear answer after every visit.
Every visit should leave the owner calmer and better informed. The report is simple by design: photos, status, priority, recommendation, and next step.
