Caretaker running systems checks in the wheelhouse of a yacht in Bali

Concierge Desk

Who looks after her when you are not aboard

Scheduled caretaking, a photo-documented monthly report, accounts administration and a duty officer who represents your interests — a programme, not a string of favours.

In short

What an absent owner is actually buying is a representative whose only client is the vessel.

  • No stake in any yard, marina or supplier engaged on your behalf.
  • Every third-party invoice reaches you with documentation attached.
  • Reporting built for an owner's office and an underwriter, not for reassurance.

The programme

What the Owner Care Program covers

Visit frequency is set by vessel size and season; everything else runs to the same checklist every month.

Vessel caretaking

Engine and generator runs, bilge and battery checks, dehumidification, deck and interior inspection, mooring line condition.

Owner reporting

A monthly report with photographs and video, work completed and upcoming, budget versus actual, and an incident log.

Accounts administration

Supplier management, disbursement tracking and consolidated statements in USD.

Crew admin

Rotation planning, visa and document renewals with the crew agency desk, welfare oversight for crew staying aboard.

Guest readiness

When you fly in she is provisioned, fuelled, cleaned and ready — day one aboard is day one of the holiday.

Lay-up & compliance

Wet season is when unattended boats deteriorate

Bali runs November to March on humidity, mould, biofouling in warm water and unwatched batteries. The programme shifts with it: more frequent dehumidification and hull checks, underwater inspections against marine growth, cover and canvas management.

A foreign-flagged yacht basing here also sits on a customs temporary-import position with a defined validity. Letting it lapse is the most expensive administrative mistake an owner can make in Indonesia, so the desk tracks the window and keeps flag, insurance and survey dates on one compliance calendar.

Where to leave her between seasons

Know the boundary

Shore representation, not yacht management

The programme is a desk on your side of the dock. It is not a technical management contract, and the difference matters when something structural goes wrong.
