The owner handoff

The season should begin with anticipation—not cleanup.

The moment a boat comes out of winter storage shapes the owner's experience. We focus on that moment, then keep the same standard of care going all season long.

Care, from launch to last sail

Three ways to arrive ready.

Every service protects the boat, respects the owner's time, and leaves nothing half-finished.

Scope noteWe provide detailing and arrival preparation—not mechanical work or engine de-winterization.
01

Spring Detailing

A complete post-storage reset, timed around the marina schedule so the season begins with a clean, owner-ready boat.

  • Exterior wash and deck detail
  • Cockpit and interior reset
  • Before splash or launch-day timing
02

Seasonal Boat Care

Scheduled detailing throughout the season, with a consistent checklist and care plan built around the way the boat is used.

  • One-time or recurring service
  • Interior and exterior care
  • Frequency-based memberships
03

Arrival & Turnover Service

The final touches that let owners step aboard and begin their time on Lake Champlain without spending the first hours getting ready.

  • Grocery and provisions stocking
  • Final owner-ready walkthrough

One visit or a season of care

A clear plan built around the way you use your boat.

One-time care

A focused spring detail, mid-season reset, or arrival-prep service without an ongoing commitment.

Monthly

Essential Care

One scheduled visit each month for owners who want a dependable baseline of care throughout the season.

Twice monthly

Frequent Care

Two scheduled visits each month for frequently used boats or owners who want a consistently polished handoff.

Visit-based

Arrival Ready

Turnover preparation ahead of planned visits, with beds, linens, and optional provisions coordinated in advance.

Memberships are frequency-based and scheduled in coordination with participating marinas. Services and add-ons will be confirmed in writing.

Built by a boat owner

I know what owners notice—because I am one.

Matthew Harmon aboard Magic at sunset on Lake ChamplainMatthew HarmonFounder, Champlain Boat Care

I grew up spending every summer aboard our family sailboat, Magic. From the age of ten, Lake Champlain was where I learned the routines, details, and quiet standards boat owners carry.

I also know the feeling of arriving in spring and finding a boat that is technically launched, but not truly ready. Champlain Boat Care exists to close that gap—with accountable people, careful work, and an owner's eye for the details.

Beyond the marina, I am bilingual and earned my degree in International Business while living in Colombia and studying in Spanish. I am also a pilot and skier—experiences that strengthened the preparation, discipline, and attention to detail I bring to building a dependable local team on Lake Champlain.

“A boat should feel cared for before its owner ever steps aboard.”
