Yacht Turndown Ritual: A Gentle Reset Before the Next Route
Luxury boats need impeccable turndown to impress guests arriving by helicopter or tender.
Start by rinsing the deck with fresh water to remove salt. Dry with a squeegee and finish with a microfiber cloth to avoid marks.
In the cabins, swap linens for freshly pressed pieces. A portable steamer removes wrinkles and sanitizes fabrics.
Clean metals with a specific anti-corrosion product. Work with gloves to avoid fingerprints.
In the galley, wash utensils, disinfect counters, and organize provisions in airtight containers labeled with dates.
Vacuum carpets and corridors with a quiet battery vacuum to avoid disturbing guests.
Check climate systems and purifiers to ensure fresh air. Install marine-scent capsules in discreet diffusers.
Set up a welcome tray with personalized amenities, navigation charts, and the captain's briefing.
For long trips, combine Post-Event Refresh between charters and Recurring Cleaning support when the yacht stays at a fixed dock.
