Service
Absentee Owner Vessel Check
A practical vessel status review for owners who are away from the port and need independent documentation of visible condition and immediate concerns.

What's included
- Vessel status verification
- Visible risk notes
- Photo documentation
- Follow-up recommendations

When it makes sense
Use this service when an owner cannot visit the vessel personally and wants an independent, one-time or occasional check on visible condition and immediate concerns.
How ARMA works
ARMA confirms access with the marina or a designated contact, performs a visual review, documents findings with photos, and delivers a practical summary with any follow-up recommended.
Frequently asked questions
Where does ARMA provide this service?
ARMA is based in La Paz and also serves Los Cabos and other locations in Baja California Sur, Mexico; outside La Paz, travel expenses are included in the quote. When you contact ARMA, include where the vessel is kept so scope and access can be confirmed before any work starts.
Who gives ARMA access to the vessel?
The marina or a contact designated by the owner. ARMA confirms access before the visit and does not hold keys or take custody of the vessel unless separately agreed.
What will I receive?
Photo documentation of visible condition, notes on visible risks, and a practical summary with follow-up recommendations the owner can act on remotely.
Is it a one-time check or ongoing?
It is designed as a one-time or occasional check. For recurring monthly oversight, see Monthly Technical Superintendence.
