We are beyond excited to introduce our mentorship program! David and Wello the sailboat have been telling their story for a year now doing a total refit under the care and guidance of Valet Yacht Services. Join our mentorship program with a new or vintage boat and hone your skills! Great for newbies and all boaters alike. #seastheday #exploreyourposibilities #teachamantofish

Say hello to Mark, our very valuable boat technician. Even when it's not covid you can find him wearing a mask. There is a fine art to waxing and polishing and unfortunately sometimes we get boats that just had a polish but the job was of poor quality. Not only does wax make a boat look dreamy but protects it from the UV rays just like your skin. We suggest it to our clients when they bottom pain their boat every two years. This is apart of our Valet haul out package. You are in the good hands as Marc makes sure every inch is cared for like it was his own boat. #waxonwaxoff #everyboathasaname #restorationseason

Here at Valet Yacht Services we would like to introduce the newest member of our team, Lacey Dawson. She will be heading our marketing department and also a sales specialist. She will be presenting many new opportunities for our yachting community to flourish such as events (online) and seminars, mentorship programs, classic boat restoration projects, and many more amazing features that will teach you how to care for your yacht and inspire many to get out on the deep blue se...a. Lacey has lived and worked on the ocean for 8 years where she earned her sea legs. Living on cruise ships, expedition vessels, and luxury yachts as a photographer, filmmaker, and marketing and sales manager. A year ago she moved to land and found her greatest passion to date when she purchased her own sailboat and spent every waking second learning from great sailors how to become a safe, sea worthy captain and with the zest for boats never ending she became a deckhand on vast yachts. She learned the meaning "labor of love" restoring every inch of her boat which included becoming a sailmaker's apprentice; pinning her sails to the cork floor, sewing and stitching her own sails is sailor's dream! We are delighted welcoming her into our community as this passion is why we started this business. So much in store this restoration season so keep your eyes on our facebook page for our monthly blog with lots of tips and tricks to share. Valet Yacht Services is so much more than an elite yacht service; it is a community of mentorship and friendships.

Every day repairing and restoring at Valet Yacht Services is a labor of love through a creative process. Always building a community with our customers, a fond experience for them to remember so days spend on the seas is only about enjoying nature's wonders in this ocean playground called beautiful British Columbia. #explorebritishcolumbia
