Boat welfare & monitoring services for the busy or absentee boat owner. Services for all type of boats yachts, motorboats, cruisers, fishing and pleasure craft.

Welcome to Simplyboats.

Being a boat owner is not always being out on the water with the wind in your favour and the warmth of the sun on your skin. It paints a very idyllic picture but there is sometimes a lot of work that goes into keeping your boat in good shape and ready for the next season.

As any boat owner will tell you - the list of tasks that need to be attended to, and the work that may need to be undertaken before the next season can be rather long and take some considerable time to complete. If, as many boat owners do , live a fair distance from where their boat is being stored or more importantly where it is moored it can be even more of a strain on resources , both in terms of time and money.

I hope I paid the last insurance premium !

As the majority of boat owners have not installed any form of GSM type alarm system that can automatically contact the owner or suitable representative in the event of a problem the boat is normally left to its own devices for months on end. If the boat is on a hard standing it is subject to vandalism and theft and statistics indicate this is on the increase year on year. If the boat is moored up the exposure to problems is even greater. Not only is the boat a potential target for theft and vandalism there is always the added possibility that something associated with being afloat could also go wrong.

Having, over the years rescued a significant number of craft that have either broken or dragged their mooring and saved a few from sinking it is not safe to say “That will not happen to me” It does happen - and worse - and the winter season with it’s dark nights that assist the thief and the severe weather that puts a strain on a boats moorings and it’s material integrity all contributes towards the responsibility of a boat owner.

Not an unfamiliar incident but one that possibly could have been avoided with greater vigilance . The statistics show that events like this , sinkings on, or breaking free from moorings while unattended form a significant proportion of boat insurance claims.

So no matter if you own a yacht, powerboat, motor cruiser or fishing boat we think the monitoring and welfare services we can offer the boat owner can be of great benefit, especially to those that live some distance way, and for peace of mind while your boat is unattended we can provide you with a very cost effective solution. The following pages will give you further brief information about our services and if you require more details or wish to discuss available options please contact us.
