Haul-out slots
without the SoCal waitlist.
A 150-ton travel lift, 3,700 m² of secured hardstand and a slot booked to the day — not to the season. 60 nautical miles south of San Diego, under U.S.-registered invoicing.
Getting out of the water shouldn't take three months.
Every Southern California owner knows the pattern: you call in March, the yard offers you a lift in June, and the quote arrives with a lay-day rate that starts eating you the moment the boat touches the blocks. Yard congestion between San Diego and Ventura has turned a routine bottom job into a logistics project.
Velport runs a different model. We schedule lifts against a fixed calendar, block and stage the vessel the same day it comes out, and give you a yard period with a defined start and a defined end. Your captain gets an arrival checklist before you leave the dock, and you get photo documentation from the moment the slings go under the hull.
From the slings to the blocks.
Controlled lift & blocking
Travel-lift haul-out with correct sling placement, then blocking and shoring set for the hull form and the length of your stay.
Pressure wash & bottom survey
Immediate hull wash before growth cures on, followed by a documented bottom condition report with photos.
Running gear inspection
Shafts, struts, cutless bearings, props and rudder checked and reported while the vessel is out — so nothing surprises you mid-scope.
Zincs & thru-hull service
Anode replacement, thru-hull and seacock inspection, and valve service where required.
Secured hardstand storage
Enclosed yard, 24/7 guarded with camera monitoring. Owners and crew keep unrestricted access; nobody else gets in.
Relaunch & sea trial support
Splash coordinated with your schedule, systems check on the water, and support for the run home or the next leg.
Four stages, start to splash.
Every yard period runs on the same structure, so you always know which stage your boat is in and what happens next.
Slot & entry
Lift date confirmed, TIP and vessel documentation reviewed, arrival checklist sent to your captain.
Haul & assessment
Controlled lift, wash, blocking, and a documented condition report with photos within the first days.
Yard period
Approved scope executed under technical supervision, with a weekly photo and progress report to your phone.
Splash & handover
Final systems check, relaunch on schedule, sea-trial support and a complete documentation package.
Closer than you think. Smarter than you'd expect.
