Ondeck own one of the largest fleets of yachts of any UK company.  So, why not let people who are experts in boat ownership manage your pride and joy? enabling you to get the very best from your asset, maintaining it in A1 condition and so retaining high resale value.

 

These are some of the typical costs associated with owning a boat based upon a 38 ft yacht.*Based upon normal boat usage by one owner.

Time required to do the work

100 hrs per year for routine maintenance

Insurance costs

Typical maintenance that it is carried out throughout the year will include:

 

• Annual lift out, scrub, antifoul, and re-launch

• Topside polish and blemish repairs
