Boat Care Plans in Long Beach & San Pedro

Boats rarely break down all at once; they wear out between services that were planned and then postponed. A boat care plan puts routine checkups on a schedule, so the boat is checked on time instead of after a failure. We offer three boat care plans, Basic, Premium and Pro+, for boat owners in Long Beach, San Pedro and our other harbors from Marina del Rey to Newport Beach.

What a boat care plan covers

• Scheduled checkups: we come to your boat on the plan's schedule, at your slip, dock or storage yard; the plans page lists what each plan includes.
• A photo report after each checkup: what we checked, what we found and what should be planned next.
• No trip fee on any visit: members pay no trip fee for checkups, the yearly recheck or repairs, as long as the plan is paid up.
• Member discounts: 10%, 15% or 20% off repair labor, depending on the plan, and 10% off parts we install.
• Repairs quoted first: anything a checkup finds is quoted in writing, and nothing is done without your OK.

Plans for boat owners

Choosing a plan

Pick the Basic, Premium or Pro+ plan online after comparing what each includes. All three give you scheduled checkups at your boat, a photo report after each, no trip fee on any visit and member discounts on repairs.

More than one boat

Each boat is inspected and checked on its own: it gets its own full inspection, checkup schedule and photo reports, so a small outboard boat and a diesel cruiser are not treated the same way.

What a plan is not

A plan is not insurance and not a warranty. It keeps your boat on a checkup schedule and gives you member prices on repairs. Our workmanship is warranted for 90 days from the invoice date; parts carry their manufacturer's warranty.

For businesses and fleets

Boat care plans are written for individual owners. If you run a charter or rental fleet, manage yachts or operate a marina, see our commercial and fleet boat services, including boat fleet maintenance and the yacht management maintenance partner service.

How you join a plan

1. Pick a plan and tell us about the boat: make, model, engine hours and recent service history.
2. Full inspection: you pay for a full inspection, from $1,500 for a boat up to 25 ft with one engine (one-system inspections cost less), so the plan starts from the boat's real condition.
3. Unsafe items fixed first: anything unsafe the inspection finds is quoted in writing and fixed first, with your OK; then we confirm the boat is ready for the plan.
4. Plan agreement: you sign the plan agreement and the monthly payments start; the monthly prices are on the plans page.

Checkups and much of the routine work are done at your slip through our mobile boat service, and repairs found during a checkup are quoted before anything is done. For a single visit instead of a plan, see boat maintenance and inspections or the 100-hour service and annual engine maintenance.

Why a plan instead of one-off repairs

Planned preventive boat maintenance can catch worn parts before they fail in the busy season, keeps the photo reports and service records in one place for when you sell the boat, and gives members lower prices on repair labor and parts. It also means one team knows your boat's history.
