As yacht owners prepare their vessels for the off-season, keel inspection during winterization is a crucial step in ensuring both safety and longevity. The keel, a yacht’s backbone, is constantly exposed to harsh conditions while sailing and can sustain damage over time. During the winter months, when the yacht is stored, undetected problems can worsen if left unaddressed. At YachtService.me, our expert technicians perform thorough keel inspections, identifying and resolving any issues before they become costly repairs.
Preparing your yacht’s engine for winter is a critical maintenance task that ensures its reliability and performance when the boating season returns. Engine winterization involves a series of steps to protect the engine from freezing temperatures, corrosion, and internal damage during extended periods of inactivity. At YachtService.me, we offer professional engine winterization services tailored to the unique requirements of yachts, ensuring your vessel stays in top condition year-round.
