Tier two, monthly retainer
Full Management provides the ultimate ownership experience
Full Management eliminates the parts ownership that quietly eat weekends: the untracked maintenance schedule, the inoperative equipment upon arrival, the vendors who all need access, the washdown after every trip.
What Full Management adds
The essential care plan carries over unchanged: the weekly check, sea strainer maintenance, the bi-weekly wash, and reporting. Full Management is what sits on top of it.
A preventative maintenance plan
A written schedule built around your specific boat: service hours tracked, fluids checked, safety equipment tested, and other systems are all tracked and maintained. Your yacht is turn-key ready, for whenever you are.
Vendor management
The diesel technician, the diver, the electronics tech, the canvas shop, the detailer. Vantage sources vendors from a trusted network and is present every step of the way, allowing owners to take back precious time.
Boat opening and closing
Enjoy walking onto a turn-key boat for a day on the water, and simply walk off when finished. Vantage will open and close your boat on your schedule, so you can enjoy only the best parts of yachting.
Post-trip washdowns
A full post-trip wash and dry. Ensuring your vessel is ready for its next adventure.
Why choose Full Management?
The hidden cost of owning a boat are not invoices. With Full Management, Vantage assumes the entire weight of yacht ownership. Every service interval, haul-out, and system check is scheduled and tracked before it becomes a problem, discrepancies are resolved on a technician's calendar instead of a weekend service call. Preventative maintenance, provisioning, and logistics are handled in the background, turning a list of scattered obligations into a single point of accountability.
The result is an ownership experience built around use, not upkeep. Owners enjoy straightforward reporting on tasks completed and associated cost, rather than a string of surprises. Vantage ensures your yacht maintains Bristol condition and is ready when you are.
Who Full Management is for
Full Management can best suit:
- Yachts that charter
- Dual season yachts
- Vessels with systems that punish neglect: generators, multiple air conditioning units, watermakers, and stabilizers
- Owners interested in a high level of oversight and care
- Owners who would rather approve a decision than manage a project
