Regular maintenance of a luxury yacht is essential to ensure its performance, safety, and longevity. Well-planned maintenance helps anticipate technical issues, optimize usage periods, and preserve the vessel's value. Here's an ideal month-by-month schedule for maintaining your yacht in Monaco.

January - Complete winter inspection

Take advantage of the off-season to conduct a thorough technical inspection : engines, electrical systems, hull, anodes, safety equipment. Identify any repairs that may need to be made in the coming months.

February - Systems Update and Refit Planning

This is the ideal time to upgrade equipment (navigation, home automation, security) or schedule a partial refit at the shipyard. Prepare the vessel for the peak season.

March - Pre-season cleaning and checks

A complete interior and exterior cleaning is required. Check the batteries, generator, tanks, and water systems. Update your vehicle documents and insurance.

April - Sea tests and calibrations

Conduct a technical outing to test all systems under real-world conditions. Check instrument calibration and adjust if necessary. This is also an opportunity to confirm port and service reservations for the summer.

May to August - Preventive maintenance during the season

During peak season, perform regular checks on fluid levels, filter cleanliness, rope wear, air conditioning and nautical equipment. Keep an active checklist on board.

September - Post-season inspection

At the end of the summer, schedule a post-boat inspection to detect any abnormalities after heavy use. Clean the tanks, disinfect the water systems, and perform a mechanical checkup.

October - Preparation for wintering

Drain sensitive systems, protect engines and equipment from moisture, and remove sensitive sails or accessories. Consider removing the yacht from the water for storage.

November & December - Administrative monitoring and optimization

Renew administrative documents, licenses, and certifications. Use this time to plan future improvements, consult with experts, or schedule necessary work before next season.
