Your yacht has standards. So do we.
Yacht management. Fort Lauderdale and Miami.
Everything the boat needs, on a schedule you never have to keep.
A management program is one coordinator who knows your boat and one invoice each month. The services run under it. Most of the work happens while you are not there.
The half of the job an owner never sees.
Repairs and upgrades, carried out by technicians who work for us and answer to us. This strainer basket came out of a boat on a scheduled visit, the kind of find a scheduled visit is built to catch before it becomes a bigger job.
The owner app. Included with every management program.
Mariner Pro
Most owners find out what happened to their boat by asking. Mariner Pro is where the answer already is, updated by the crew who were standing on the deck.
- Tank levels Diesel, water, waste and gas, read and entered by the crew who were just on the boat. Updated after every visit.
- A weekly photo checklist A custom checklist covering exterior, interior, systems and hours, with photographs uploaded every week and archived.
- Service due notifications Color coded against the date and raised two months ahead of it, with plenty of lead time to book the slot you want.
- Crew requests Ask for a captain, a steward or a deckhand from the same screen, and it lands with the coordinator who owns your boat.
- Document storage with expiry alerts Insurance certificates, registrations, hurricane plans, system specs and USCG safety items, each held with its expiry date and an alert before it lapses.
Included with every management program.
Your insurer wants a name on the storm plan.
A named storm plan has to say who is responsible for the boat when the owner is not in Florida. For most of our owners that is most of the year. We write the plan and we execute it. It lives in Mariner Pro beside the insurance certificate and its expiry date.
“I find myself enjoying the pleasures of the boat. YMS provides a personal touch to the sometimes business only approach to yacht management. They have been able to understand my schedule and needs and keep me happy. They are making me a better captain.”

“They have met and exceeded my expectations. The Intrepid always looks perfect and they handle everything. I have got another business in development so time is precious. Their service level means every minute I am on board is fun time not work time.”

“My experience with YMS has been nothing but great. YMS has managed my 2019 50 foot Vanquish Yacht since the day it was delivered from Holland. YMS makes yachting with my family and friends easy. Every time I come to the boat it looks and runs like the day I took delivery.”
