An extension of Barrier Group's coastal home watch, applied to your boat.

Boat Watch is part of Barrier Group's coastal property practice. A vessel along the Carolinas coast is more than a recreational asset — it's an investment that requires attentive, routine care, the same as any property of value.

For boat owners between Carolina Beach and Topsail, Boat Watch provides trusted oversight that fits the rest of your asset management. A scheduled cadence. Familiar faces. A continuous record. Learn about Home Watch →

Each Scheduled Visit

What we do.

Visual Inspection

A thorough walk-around of the vessel. Photo report after each visit. Cadence set to your situation.

Securing

Lines, tie-downs, and securing reviewed. Adjusted when conditions call for it.

Cover, Canvas, Hatches

The protection layer that keeps water out. We confirm it's doing its job between your visits.

Onboard Systems

Engines run at idle on request — outboards or inboards — keeping the systems exercised so the boat is ready when you are.

Storm Add-On

Seasonal hurricane preparation and post-storm response available as an add-on. See readiness page →

Vendor Coordination

One point of contact for the trades that keep your boat running.

Eyes on the boat. When you're not there.

What you can expect.

A visit on a cadence that fits your situation — weekly, biweekly, or monthly. A photo report after each visit, delivered to your inbox the same day. A single phone number for the trades you need — detailing, fuel, mechanical.

The Coastal Trade

Working with the professionals we already trust.

When your boat needs more than routine care, we coordinate with the marine trade we work with regularly — detailers, mechanics, hull and bottom work, marine surveyors.

For coastal boat-trade professionals. If you provide reliable marine services along the Carolinas coast and want to be part of a curated trade network, we'd like to talk. Get in touch →
