Monthly Maintenance: What It Offers

A monthly maintenance contract is the easiest way to keep your boat in top condition at all times. It typically includes periodic inspections, cleaning, battery checks, bilge pumping, ventilation, and notification to the boat owner if any problems are detected. For those who sail only a few times a month, this helps avoid surprises on the very day you plan to set out.

The ITB: What It Is and How to Prepare for It

The Technical Inspection of Vessels (ITB) is the mandatory periodic inspection for recreational boats in Spain. To pass it without any issues, it’s a good idea to check the following beforehand:

• Safety equipment in good working order: life jackets, flares, fire extinguishers, and, if applicable, a life raft.
• Condition of the hull and sea inlets.
• Electrical system and navigation lights.
• Up-to-date documentation for the boat.

Spinnaker handles these inspections and the documentation, and provides advice on the necessary safety equipment.

Benefits of Club Membership

Having the workshop and store right at the Real Club Náutico allows us to service moored boats without having to travel, complete minor repairs the same day, and keep spare parts and nautical supplies on hand.

Before Buying a Boat

In addition to selling boats, the Spinnaker team advises prospective buyers on what to check, what maintenance costs to expect, and what work should be done right away. As a general recommendation, before finalizing a purchase, it’s advisable to have a technical inspection performed with the boat out of the water, verify the documentation, and calculate the annual costs for mooring, insurance, and maintenance.
