Prepare Your Yacht for the Winter
As the summer season comes to a close, the importance of a rigorous winter maintenance schedule is paramount. It is during the winter season when owners have the opportune moment to lift their yacht and perform a series of service and maintenance checks ready for the new season ahead.
At Argo Yachting, we provide an intensive yacht winterisation package which can be completely bespoke to your requirements. The package includes everything from interior and exterior cleaning to maintenance of the engines and batteries. Thorough preparation during the winter season can mean fewer problems when it comes to using your yacht again – it also ensures your engines, generators and onboard systems are properly prepared to handle periods of possible inactivity.
Our winterisation packages are specified around the yacht and where she's spending the winter.
A typical package includes:
Engine inspection and repair
Battery checks
Seacock and stabiliser checks
Coolant checks
Replacement of oil and oil filters
Corrosion protection
Air-conditioning/heating service
Lay-up specifications differ by location - frost protection is the priority in the UK, while humidity and UV in Southern Spain and the Balearics are a key focus. Our service centres are based in Southampton and Plymouth in the UK and Marbella & Mallorca covering Spain and the Balearics. Wherever your yacht is berthed, and wherever you plan to cruise, there's an Argo team within reach. Find Your Nearest Service Centre.
