Anti-fouling
Anti-fouling is one of the most unpleasant tasks on any boat owner’s routine work list. That’s why it’s often last minute, tends to be rushed and is rarely done properly. In fact many boats need another haul-out because of the poor quality of the original application. Leave this notoriously nasty job to BYM and enjoy using your boat rather than working for her. Whether you have a full-on race boat or a family cruiser we can guarantee the job gets done properly.

Maintenance and repairs
We could save you our fee and guarantee the work as well! With up to 4,000 boats on the Hamble River alone, it’s hardly surprising the Solent is home to so many marine services businesses. However, with most owners living well outside the area, it is difficult for them not only to make an informed choice of the right companies to quote for necessary work but also to manage the process once underway. With many years’ experience of the local specialists, and in the right place to keep an eye on the work, BYM can ensure you get a good job at the best price. Some of the work we do ourselves, but most maintenance is contracted out to reduce overheads and increase our flexibility on your behalf to match the job to the contractor capability. Either way, you avoid the hassle of dealing direct and we guarantee the quality of the work. Trade discounts usually cover our management fees.

Management
Yacht brokers often say: “ the two happiest days for boat owners are the day you buy her and the day you sell her!” The reason - boats are more demanding of their owners than can possibly be imagined by anyone who hasn’t had a serious boat in the family before. Particularly if you live and work far from the Solent, as important to enjoying your boat as insurance and berthing, is an expert, trusted local manager. If you consider the real cost of boat ownership, our management charges are minimal and the leverage on your enjoyment is probably one of the best investments in quality of life you’ll ever make.
