Boat Maintenance Programs
Professional Boat Care at the Lavender Bay Boat Shed
At the Lavender Bay Boat Shed, we offer customised boat maintenance programs designed to keep your vessel in peak condition all year round. Whether you own a sailing yacht, catamaran, or motorboat, our team can create a tailored package to suit your needs and schedule — so your boat is always ready to go when you are.
We understand that a boat is a major investment, and regular maintenance is essential to protect its value, safety, and performance. From routine washing and deck scrubbing to running the engines and monitoring onboard systems, we make sure your vessel is cared for as if it were our own.
Flexible Packages – Fortnightly or Monthly
Our maintenance programs can be scheduled fortnightly or monthly, depending on how often you use your boat and the level of care it requires. Packages are fully customisable, allowing you to choose exactly which services you need.
Core Services We Offer
– Our standard maintenance options include –
Boat washing and deck scrubbing
Keep your vessel clean, presentable, and free from harmful salt build-up.
Bilge inspections
We check for water, leaks, or pump issues to keep your bilges dry and functional.
Systems checks
We monitor all onboard systems to make sure everything is working as it should.
Battery checks and charging
Prevent flat batteries by keeping them charged and operational.
Engine running and sea trials
We regularly start engines, and when possible, take the boat for a short drive to keep moving parts lubricated and ensure performance.
Fuel level monitoring and refills
On request, we can top up your fuel so your boat is full and ready to go.
Why Regular Use and Maintenance Matters
Boats are designed to be used — not left sitting idle for long periods. When engines aren’t run, systems aren’t used, and moving parts aren’t kept active, problems can develop quickly. Our maintenance programs:
- Keep engines turning over and lubricated
- Ensure systems remain functional
- Reduce the risk of breakdowns or costly repairs
- Help maintain your vessel’s value and reliability
- Save you time and hassle before each trip
Ready When You Are – Pre-Arrival Preparation
By arrangement, and subject to scheduling, we can even prepare your boat for use before you arrive.
This can include opening up the vessel, airing interiors, switching on refrigeration, and ensuring all systems are ready for a seamless day on the water.
Serving All Types of Boats
From sleek monohull yachts to spacious catamarans and performance motorboats, our team at the Lavender Bay Boat Shed has the skills, experience, and network of marine trades to care for your vessel. We work closely with marine mechanics, electricians, shipwrights, and detailers to address any issues promptly and professionally.
