Keeping your boat safe when you're not there

Worry Less. Enjoy Your Boat More.

YachtWatchers is your dockside guardian for absentee boat owners in Kemah, Clear Lake, and Galveston Bay.

When your boat lives in the water but you don’t live at the dock, small problems can turn into big, expensive emergencies. Our subscription plans put a trained set of eyes on your boat on a regular schedule.

On each visit, we walk your dock, step aboard, and perform a structured multi-point check. You get a clear, photo-rich report in your inbox so you always know the real condition of your boat.

If we spot an issue, we contact you right away and help coordinate the right fix — from simple dockside adjustments to bringing in your preferred marine professionals.

What We Check

  • Batteries & charging systems
  • Bilge pumps & float switches
  • Shore power & cords
  • Lines, fenders & chafe points
  • AC, dehumidifiers & ventilation
  • Leaks, moisture & water intrusion risks

Why You Need YachtWatchers

Boats don’t fail when you’re standing on the dock. They fail quietly, in the slip.

Boats Fail Quietly

A tripped breaker, dying battery, or leaking fitting can turn into a flooded bilge, dead systems, mold, and corrosion if nobody notices in time.

Protect Your Investment

Regular eyes-on checks reduce the risk of sinking, major damage, and insurance claims. Your boat lasts longer and holds its value.

Peace of Mind

Instead of wondering “Is the boat okay?”, you know it is. Time-stamped reports and photos show exactly what we saw at the dock.

Turn “I hope the boat is okay…” into “I know it is.”
