Our Hurricane Prep Service usually encompasses securing the vessel in preparation for a hurricane. This can involve removing potential flying objects, securing loose items, adding extra mooring lines, setting anchors, checking bilge pumps and batteries, and possibly relocating the yacht to a safer location or haul-out facility if necessary.
Ideally, our preparations are made at the start of the hurricane season to ensure readiness. However, as hurricanes can be unpredictable, it’s crucial to have a plan in place and to initiate preparations as soon as there is a potential hurricane threat to your yacht’s location.
Many Yacht Hurricane Prep Services have partnerships with local marinas and haul-out facilities, and can assist in relocating your yacht to safer grounds or arranging an emergency haul-out if deemed necessary and if space is available.
Protective measures include sealing windows, hatches, and doors, covering electronics with waterproof tarps or removing them entirely, and ensuring all drainage systems are clear. Some services might also offer the utilization of moisture-absorbing products inside the yacht to prevent humidity damage.
Our services do provide post-hurricane assessments to inspect for potential damage and ensure the yacht’s safety. Recovery support can include removing added mooring lines, re-installing any removed equipment, and coordinating necessary repairs or clean-up if damage occurred during the storm.
