Hayes Yacht Company
Seattle-based yacht care for vessels on Lake Union, Lake Washington, and Puget Sound-area marinas.
The business
Hayes Yacht Company provides reliable eyes on a vessel when its owner cannot be there. The current service scope centers on vessel checks, engine and generator exercise, readiness support, and documented updates for boats around Seattle-area waterways and marinas.
The system behind the service
The business connects practical boat knowledge with the same systems thinking I bring to technical programs: repeatable checks, clear documentation, visible follow-through, and communication owners can use. The goal is not to make vessel care feel complicated. It is to make the condition of the boat easier to understand.
Building the business
Running Hayes Yacht Company is hands-on operational work and an ongoing lesson in service design. It requires useful routines without rigidity, careful scope, and the judgment to know when a small observation needs a clear owner response.
