For these last steps, we recommend that you entrust your boat to a professional. Your expert eye will also detect imperfections and / or potential problems, avoiding headaches in spring.
Wintering on land
This is the solution without surprises. Many professionals offer space for this, indoors or outdoors. In principle, the price includes the departure of the ship and the transfer to the warehouse. Some even offer a package that includes an annual check of the engines, tanks, etc. Before hiring the space, we recommend that you visit the place and, once the winter season is over, that you request the maintenance booklet. On the other hand, remember to clean the hull immediately after leaving the boat, before the shells and other dirt. In the same way, once dry, make sure that the rainwater can flow properly… These are two of the essential reflections.
Wintering afloat
It's the easy solution, as long as you can keep an eye on the boat in order to avoid shaking the hull, humidity on the decks, osmosis, etc. It is also essential to check the mooring, the condition of the batteries, the proper functioning of the automatic pumps ... Are you not there? You do not have time? To avoid any inconvenience and have a calm mind, hire a Privilege Pack, a personalized service that we offer to monitor and take care of your boat in your absence. Also, don't forget to install dehumidifiers and change the tanks frequently.
