Most people think yacht ownership is just fuel, a washdown, and a quick cover, but the reality is a boat is a living asset that never stops being attacked by salt, humidity, heat, and growth. If you're not proactive, the ocean wins. Fast. In this episode of the YachtWay Podcast, we sit down with Jared Hassut, founder of YMS (Yacht Management Services), to break down what "real" yacht management actually means after the purchase.  If you own a boat, are buying one, or just want to understand what separates a "nice boat" from a properly maintained yacht, this episode is your playbook.
