Checklist
What to inspect before charter
The goal is not to make the yacht look generically clean. The goal is to remove obvious textile risks before someone important notices them, which is usually how humans schedule maintenance: after panic becomes visible.
Carpets and moquette
Inspect traffic lanes, stair edges, cabin entry points and fitted carpet areas where sand, salt and humidity collect.
Cabin mattresses
Look for odours, closed-room humidity, visible marks and guest-facing freshness before linen preparation.
Stains and unknown products
Ask what happened and whether crew, owner or guests already tried cleaning products. Mystery chemistry rarely improves textiles.
Before booking
Send information that actually helps
A good first assessment depends on context: surface type, access, timing, visible condition and realistic drying or ventilation constraints onboard.
1
Take wide and close photos
Send an overview of the area, close-ups of stains and details of carpet, upholstery or mattress fabric.
2
Explain the timing
Mention charter date, owner arrival, turnaround window and whether work must happen onboard or during a service stop.
3
Include access details
Marina, berth area, parking or tender access, electricity, ventilation and whether crew will be onboard matter more than poetry.
Risk signals
Situations that should not wait until boarding day
Odours in cabins
Closed cabins can hold humidity-related odours in mattresses, carpets and soft furnishings.
Salt and sand in carpet
Yacht carpets and moquette often collect fine residues that normal vacuuming does not fully remove.
Visible stains on upholstery
Guest-facing upholstery should be assessed before improvised spot cleaning makes the mark larger.
Tight turnaround
If charter timing is close, prioritise surfaces that affect guest perception: saloon seating, cabins and high-traffic carpet.
Useful photos
Photos to send before assessment
Clear photos reduce guesswork and avoid the classic operational miracle where everyone discovers the stain two hours before boarding.
