BOAT WATCH – MORE THAN JUST WEATHER PROTECTION
In Florida, it’s not only the weather that can damage your boat. Nature can too.
Strong sun, heavy rain, high humidity, tropical storms and hurricanes can all take a toll on your boat. But when a boat sits unused for weeks or months, there is another problem many boat owners don’t think about: wildlife.
Birds can build nests. Rodents can get inside and chew wiring, cables and upholstery. Raccoons and other animals can tear into seats and covers looking for a safe place to nest. Even snakes and other wildlife may find a boat that has been left unattended an attractive shelter.
That’s why Boat Watch by Sun Island Boat Services is about more than simply checking whether your boat is still there.
WHAT WE CHECK:
• Your boat’s overall condition
• Signs of animal activity or nesting
• Rodents and droppings
• Chewed wires, hoses or upholstery
• Water intrusion and leaks
• Bilge pump and battery condition
• General cleanliness and condition
• And much more
Especially if you are away from your Florida home or boat for several weeks or months — such as during the summer — regular Boat Watch inspections can help identify problems before they become expensive repairs.
Don’t come back to Florida to find an unwelcome surprise waiting on your boat.
YOUR BOAT. OUR WATCH.
