# Boat Care Concierge

The Boat Care Concierge is the service side of Board Bound Wake Co, for people who already
own a boat. Rather than renting or learning, these customers hand us the upkeep so their
boat is ready when they want to use it.

We specialize primarily in **V-drive inboard boats** — the same wake and surf boats we run
ourselves — which is why we can work on them quickly and know what tends to fail.

## Services

| Service | What it covers |
|---|---|
| Winterization & de-winterization | Protect the boat for the off-season, then get the engine and critical systems ready for the first lake day. |
| Oil changes | Routine engine oil and filter service through the season. |
| Prop changes and inspection | Propeller removal and replacement for damaged props, performance changes, or seasonal needs. |
| Prop shaft changes | Prop shaft inspection and replacement when damage or wear affects safe operation. |
| Impeller changes | Preventive impeller replacement to maintain cooling and protect the engine. |
| Boat detailing | Interior and exterior detailing that leaves the boat clean, polished, and lake-ready. |

Most of this work is quoted per boat rather than priced off a list — scope depends on the
hull, the engine, and how the boat gets used. Tell us about the boat and we return a
straightforward quote before any work starts.

## Captain for the Day

$100/hr with a two hour minimum. One of our captains meets you at the ramp and runs **your**
boat for the day, so you can stay with your guests. Our captains are experienced with V-drive
wake and surf boats and handle wake setup, driving, and spotting for your riders.

This can be booked online at
https://boardboundwakeco.com/booking?service=boatCharter&serviceType=charterCaptain

Not to be confused with the **Boat Captain Lesson** (also $100/hr), which teaches you to
operate your own boat rather than operating it for you. See
[private lessons](/knowledge/services/private-lessons.md).

## Ready for the Day

Help getting the boat on and off the trailer, plus life jackets and boards ready to go, so
the day starts on the water instead of at the ramp.

## Concierge Subscription

An ongoing plan that organizes the services a boat needs across the year into one schedule
rather than a series of one-off calls. Timing, included services, and pricing are tailored
to the boat and how it is used — there is no fixed public subscription price. Ask for a plan
and a quote at https://boardboundwakeco.com/concierge

## Good to know

- **Boats we service:** primarily V-drive inboards. Ask about anything else.
- **Service area:** the Austin lake area — [Lake Austin, Lake Travis, Lake LBJ, and Lake Marble Falls](/knowledge/locations/index.md).
- **How quoting works:** describe the boat and the work, we confirm scope, timing, and price, then the team completes the work.
