Yacht Management in Clearlake, Galveston Bay, and Texas Gulf Coast

YachtWatchers Marine Maintenance Service

Most boats don’t get destroyed in storms but quietly fill with water while tied to the dock. Did you know that 69% of boats sink while sitting in their slip? The vast majority of those losses are completely preventable with simple, routine check-ins and basic system inspections.

What many owners don’t realize is that some insurance policies may deny claims when a sinking is linked to neglect or lack of maintenance. Even when a boat doesn’t go under, slow leaks, failed pumps, and bad batteries can cause thousands of dollars in hidden damage the longer they go unnoticed.

The truth is simple: boats need regular attention to stay safe, reliable, and valuable. If you don’t live close to your marina or your schedule just doesn’t allow for consistent visits. Your boat is most at risk when it’s out of sight and out of mind.

YachtWatchers act as your eyes on the dock, providing scheduled inspections of your vessel throughout the year for less than you’ll spend on a good wash and wax. Our entry-level membership, “Keep It Floating,” is designed to protect your investment for under $1 per foot (LOA) per month with an annual membership.
