Owning a yacht in Malta while living abroad is a dream for many — but it also comes with responsibilities that are difficult to manage from a distance. Salt, humidity, UV exposure, unexpected weather changes and extended periods of inactivity can quickly lead to costly damage if not monitored.
This is exactly where professional guardianage services become essential.
At Boatcare Trading Limited, we specialise in providing peace of mind to yacht owners who rely on expert oversight, regular checks, and reliable communication while they are away. Here’s why guardianage is not just important — it’s crucial.
