Boating Yacht Service - Gestión y mantenimiento de yates en Ibiza

Boating Yacht Service is a yacht management and maintenance company in Ibiza with an office at Marina Botafoch. Founded in 2015 by a team with over 15 years of prior experience in the industry, the company provides comprehensive care for its clients’ vessels: 24-hour management, maintenance, repairs, dry-dock work, and immediate response to breakdowns.

Services

• Yacht and boat management, with 24/7 availability.
• Comprehensive maintenance—both preventive and corrective.
• In-house services for electrical, painting, hydraulic, and mechanical work.
• Dry-dock services: underwater hull work, polishing, single-coat and double-coat painting, and deck work.
• Emergencies and repairs with immediate response.

Our Philosophy: Anticipating Issues

Boating Yacht Service views maintenance as a way to anticipate problems before they arise, extending the boat’s lifespan and preventing the owner from losing sailing days in the middle of the season. With their own equipment and logistics, they can act immediately when something goes wrong.

What Yacht Management Covers

Area	What’s Included
Inspections	Regular visits and monitoring of the boat’s condition
Maintenance	Engines, electrical, hydraulic, and other systems
Dry Dock	Coordination of dry docking, underwater hull work, and painting
Aesthetics	Polishing, painting, and deck maintenance
Emergencies	24/7 support and rapid repairs

Preventive vs. Corrective Maintenance

• Preventive: Scheduled inspections, filter changes, impeller and anode replacements, and battery checks. It costs less and prevents surprises.
• Corrective: Repairing something after it has already failed. It’s usually more expensive, and in the summer, it means losing days on the water.

A good manager combines both: an annual maintenance plan and a team available for any unforeseen issues.

The Season in Ibiza

In Ibiza, the boating season is intense and concentrated: from May to October, boats are out on the water a lot and repair shops are running at full capacity. That’s why it’s a good idea to:

• Get your boat serviced in the winter or spring, before the lines form at the dry docks.
• Hire a management service before the season starts, to ensure a technician is available when you need one.
• Have an emergency plan: with a 24/7 manager, a breakdown won’t ruin your vacation.

Dry Dock Services

Boating Yacht Service also operates at the Ibiza dry dock: cleaning and painting the underwater hull, hull polishing, single-coat and two-coat painting, and deck work. Coordinating dry docking and maintenance with the same company saves time and effort.

What to Ask for from a Yacht Management Company

• A clear list of what’s included in the monthly fee and what’s billed separately.
• Reports from each visit, including photos and the boat’s condition.
• Advance estimates for any work exceeding an agreed-upon amount.
• A direct contact available during the season, without going through a switchboard.
• References from other boat owners in Ibiza.
