Owner Support · Vilamoura

A local pair of eyes when you are away.

The Yacht Presence Check is a simple owner support service for periods when the yacht is alongside and the owner is not in Vilamoura.

What the check is designed to cover

A scheduled visit can include a visual check of lines, fenders, covers, visible shore power status, obvious water ingress, exterior condition and other agreed points that can be checked without replacing a technical inspection.

The owner receives a concise photo report. If something appears to need attention, AUREA POÉ MAR can escalate it and coordinate the appropriate specialist.

What it is not

A presence check is not a survey, engineering inspection, safety certification or substitute for required crew or marina responsibilities.

The scope should be agreed for the yacht so there is no ambiguity about what has and has not been checked.

Why it can be useful

It gives an owner a current visual reference between visits and creates a simple trigger for action when something has visibly changed.

For some owners it may remain a stand alone service. For others it can become the first layer of a broader local management arrangement.

Questions owners ask

How often can a yacht presence check be scheduled?

The frequency should match the yacht, marina conditions, owner absence and existing crew or service arrangements. It can be occasional or recurring.

Does the check include repairs?

No. The check identifies visible issues within the agreed scope. Repairs or technical diagnosis are then referred to or coordinated with the appropriate specialist.

Will I receive photographs?

Yes. The service is designed around a concise dated visual report so the owner has a current record of the yacht between visits.
