The difference
You see every visit.
Most owners abroad find out how their boat is doing when something has already gone wrong. You get a dated set of photographs after every visit — bilges, batteries, lines, the lot.

Example frame · Bilges — dry, level unchangedExample framesInside a care visit
A washdown, then eight things we look at.
Tap a point on the boat. A care visit is a washdown and a visual check, bow to stern, in this order. The photographs arrive in the same order.
4 of 8
Bilges
A look in the bilges: dry or not, and whether the level has changed since the last visit.
- 01
Lines, fenders and chafe
Mooring lines looked over where they rub, fenders in the right place for the forecast. Anything worn is photographed and quoted.
- 02
Covers and canvas
Checked for pooling water and worn stitching. A cover holding water is worse than no cover at all.
- 03
Deck, hatches and seals
Washed down with fresh water, then looked over: hatches and windows for signs of leaks, teak for lifted seams, drains for blockages.
- 04
Bilges
A look in the bilges: dry or not, and whether the level has changed since the last visit.
- 05
Batteries and charging
Shore power connected, charger on, terminals clean. Whatever the battery monitor shows is photographed.
- 06
Seacocks and hoses
Seacocks (the valves that let seawater in and out) and hoses looked at for corrosion, weeping and loose clips.
- 07
Engine bay
A look for leaks, loose belts and anything out of place. Running the engines is an optional extra.
- 08
Hull and waterline
Growth at the waterline, seen from the pontoon. Anodes (the sacrificial metal that protects the prop and shaft) and the prop are checked at each haul-out.
Anything that needs work is photographed, quoted and sent to you the same day. Nothing is fixed without your approval.

Prices exclude VAT and depend on boat length. A season plan runs 1 May to 31 October. A full-year plan runs twelve months and costs 10% less than two seasons. Parts, materials, yard fees and berthing are always extra.
Choosing a plan opens the enquiry form with your plan and boat length filled in. Nothing is charged; we confirm the price, start date and how to pay by email.
What we fix
Pick the job. See exactly what it involves.
The Maltese year
A boat here needs different things from one up north.
Nothing freezes, so lay-up is about damp, sun and storms instead. Pick a month to see what we would be doing.
Spring
Haul-out season opens
- Antifouling and hull polish
- Anodes and prop checked
- Seacocks serviced while out of the water
On a care plan we tell you when each of these is due and quote it. Nothing is booked without your say-so. See what a plan covers →
Who you are dealing with
You always deal with the same person.
Stephen Duffy has been a captain for more than 30 years, on all kinds of boats. He has delivered yachts all over the world and used to run a boatyard in Mallorca. He quotes your job, brings in the right technician, checks the work before you are invoiced and sends you the photographs.
The trades are self-employed specialists — marine engineers, electricians, GRP and paint, shipwrights — so you get the person who does that work properly rather than whoever happened to be free.
