YACHT MANAGEMENT SERVICES

Yacht Management Services (YMS) is a fully licensed and insured yacht management company based in South Florida, founded by someone who grew up in the local marine industry. Starting as a kid washing boats and helping with yacht deliveries to the Bahamas and Caribbean, that background is reflected in both the depth of vendor relationships the company has built over 25 years and in the personal approach that defines how they manage every vessel. YMS specializes in boats 30 to 70 feet and offers tiered management programs: basic weekly programs covering engine checks, fluids, and exterior cleaning; bi-weekly programs adding fuller systems inspections; and the comprehensive Signature program, which addresses engines, generators, electrical, plumbing, air conditioning, and safety equipment on a regular schedule. What stands out is the company's philosophy - proactive rather than reactive, with a focus on catching small issues before they become expensive ones. Owners are kept updated via photos, texts, or calls after every visit. YMS also developed Mariner Pro, a proprietary yacht management app that gives clients real-time visibility into maintenance, service history, and vessel status. Concierge services covering trip itineraries, dockage arrangements, and restaurant reservations are included in full management programs.
