What Our Clients Say
Trusted by yacht owners from around the world
“Very recommendable - our boat is on a jetty in Whangarei for the NZ winter and WYS has been looking after her for the last few months. Helen checks on everything aboard, gets active when necessary and keeps us informed. We are also happy with her proactive attitude when high winds or heavy rain are expected. Her monthly reports are to the point and communication is as east and prompt as you could wish. We would never have left our boat alone for so long if we didn't know it was in good and reliable hands. It surely is!”

“....Helen was beyond incredible. I initially talked to her and was impressed. She is a former cruiser and current boat owner so I knew she would understand my issues. Once in the thick of things she was very detail oriented and kept the work on pace. Now keep in mind we had over 70 jobs she was trying to get done on my boat. The only way to stay on pace was with good communication and she was very good at communicating. We were so happy that we are coming back to NZ next year and will have Helen in charge of our boat again.”

“WYS were instrumental in helping us following our dismasting en-route to NZ from Tonga. We would highly recommend WYS for all your shoreside needs, boat guardianage and project management requirements”
