What sets us apart
Why Yacht Services Solutions?
Afloat, at your berth
No crane, no delivery trip: we work where your boat is moored, from our work boat with its on-board equipment, in the eight harbours of the French shore.
One point of contact
Stéphane Badea comes on board, writes the quote and sends you the photo reports. You always speak to the same person, the one who knows your boat.
Steam, with no chemicals
Grease, limescale and mould lifted by steam cleaning, with no detergent and nothing released into Lake Geneva. A spotless boat, a protected lake.
You stay in control
A no-obligation quote, a yearly, seasonal or one-off package, a photo report after every visit: you decide what gets done, and you see it.
Our signature
The power of steam, zero chemicals.
Our detailing relies on professional steam cleaning: high-temperature steam lifts grease, limescale and mould and disinfects naturally, on the hull, deck, teak, stainless steel, upholstery and cabin.
- No detergent, nothing released into Lake Geneva
- A fraction of the water used by a pressure washer
- Natural disinfection: bacteria, mould, musty smells
- Gentle on marine materials: gelcoat, stainless steel, teak, leather, fabrics

Before you hand over the keys.
What is a boat sitter?
Someone who looks after your boat while you are away: watching it, caring for it and getting it ready for your trips. Stéphane Badea is the boat sitter of the French shore of Lake Geneva, based in Nernier marina.
What services do you offer?
Four services: boat watch, steam cleaning and detailing, boat concierge, and advice and valuation when buying or selling. You can book them separately or combine them.
Which harbours do you cover?
The eight harbours of the French shore of Lake Geneva, from Chens-sur-Léman to Évian-les-Bains, and further afield on request. Our base is Nernier marina.
Does the boat have to come out of the water?
No. We work afloat, at your berth; we do not lift boats out of the water and we do not store them. For yard work, we liaise with partner boatyards and follow the job for you.
How much do your services cost?
Every boat is different: prices are set on quotation, after a visit on board at your berth. The quote is clear, with no obligation.
