Vessel Oversight & Care
Rapture Yacht Services can work directly with your specific Yacht Management service, or we can manage it for you. Should you wish for us to manage your vessel we provide complete record keeping and financials which you have full access to. We partner with Seazone for easy to use cloud-based vessel management software giving management companies, owners, crew, accountants and charter managers access to the information they need at their finger tips.
Yacht Relocation Services
Yachts are meant to allow their owners to travel and see the world. Sometimes though, the relocation of the yacht does not work with the crew vacation schedule, or there may be crew turnover that gets in the way of otherwise well-planned vessel movement. Whether you are looking to move your vessel up the coast or across the world, under keel or on a transport ship, Rapture yacht Services is ready to work with you to make sure your vessel arrives at its destination and ready to go, on schedule and within budget.
Dedicated Seafarers
We say “our” seafarers because we are proud of every man and woman that we place on vessels. They have proven their dedication to their craft through months of rigorous training and financial investment in their trade. They are vested in their own success. When the vessel succeeds, they succeed, and their families succeed. That is why we call them “our” seafarers.
