The right contact at the port

What is a nautical concierge service?

A nautical concierge service is far more than cleaning. It covers every on-the-ground task that lets a boat owner manage their boat remotely: welcoming guests, key handover, check-in/check-out inspections, monitoring mooring lines, weather preparation, tidying up on board or coordinating a launching.

It can apply just as well to a sailboat, a motorboat or a RIB. The need depends less on the type of boat than on how you use it: rentals, occasional sailing, a second home or remote management.

Possible missions

What missions can a concierge handle?

On Check Boat, concierge requests are organised around 5 clear categories. Owners quickly understand what they can delegate, and the concierge knows exactly which need they are being called on for.

Rental management

Getting in touch with renters, welcoming them, check-in, check-out, check-in/check-out inspections, key handling and turnaround between two rentals. Your renter is taken care of from the moment they arrive.

Monitoring

Regular visits, inspection of the mooring lines, the hull or any damp, alerting the owner if a problem arises and weather preparation in the event of a storm or frost. A local presence when you can't be there.

Cleaning

Interior cleaning, exterior cleaning, wash-down after sailing and work with suitable products to keep a boat clean and ready to use.

Overnight docking

Guest check-in, a quick briefing on the boat for the lights, the heads or the galley, then a full clean after the overnight stay at the dock.

Trailer transport and launching

Transporting the boat on a trailer (winterisation, delivery, purchase), launching or hauling out at the port, then a safety check before sailing.

Why delegate?

Good reasons to delegate the local management of your boat

A boat concierge is especially useful for owners who rent out their boat, live far from the port, use their boat occasionally or want to avoid preventable emergencies.

Avoid unnecessary trips

No more driving for hours for a key handover, a check-in/check-out inspection, a cleaning or a launching. The concierge steps in for you, at the right time.

Protect your rental income

A botched check-in, a missing inspection or a sloppy clean can hurt your reviews and your income. A professional concierge protects your reputation as a host.

Keep an eye on your boat, even 500 km away

For owners who don't live near their port, a local concierge helps you keep a regular connection with your boat.

Spot problems before they get worse

A regular visit makes it possible to catch a starting leak, a worn mooring line or failing equipment before it becomes an emergency.

Who is it for?

Frequently asked questions

Frequently asked questions about concierge services

  2. What is the difference between a boat concierge and a skipper?

    The boat concierge mainly works at the port, on the local management of the boat. The skipper mainly works on the water, for a boat delivery, a guided outing or on-board coaching.

Related services

Which services can be combined with a concierge?

Managing a boat often relies on several professionals depending on the moment and the need. When a job goes beyond day-to-day management at the dock, a marine mechanic can take over for diagnostics, servicing, winterisation or recommissioning.
