Your Virtual Shore Crew

The cost-effective alternative to full-time boat management

Your Virtual Shore Crew is our online, remote service operated for our Members by professionals with extensive experience in the care and operations of yachts. Through our Track And Manager platform and direct communication with your dedicated coordinator, we provide expert support from anywhere - you don't need to be at your boat, and neither do we.

Some yacht owners need comprehensive, full-time boat management - and that's an excellent solution when circumstances require someone to handle all aspects of vessel ownership. Professional boat managers provide invaluable services for owners who are frequently away, need complete delegation, or require full-time,onboard oversight of their vessel.

But not every yacht owner needs - or wants - such a comprehensive and sometimes expensive level of service.

Your Virtual Shore Crew serves a different need: helping yacht owners who want to stay hands-on and in control, but need support to stay ahead of issues and remove the hassle of managing the logistics of caring for their yacht and organising its use.

When YBM Shore Crew is the right choice

YBM Shore Crew is designed for yacht owners who:

• Want to save money

• Do not want or need to have the expense of a comprehensive on-site management service

• Want to remain actively involved in decisions about their vessel

• Need help staying on top of maintenance schedules and compliance requirements

• Require coordination support but want to approve all work and spending

• Value transparency and want real-time visibility of all activities and costs

• Need assistance with the logistics of organising yacht use and care

• Don't have the time or resources to do all this themselves
