Complete Care One Trusted Point of Contact
Vendor Scheduling & Oversight
We schedule and coordinate outside vendors, oversee the work, and keep you informed, so you don't have to manage multiple contractors yourself.
Routine Mechanical Maintenance
We track and coordinate routine maintenance for your engines, transmissions, generators, and mechanical systems, helping prevent overlooked service and identify concerns before they become larger problems.
Exterior & Interior Appearance
We coordinate washdowns, hull cleaning, detailing, and ongoing appearance care, keeping your yacht consistently cared for without you having to schedule each service.
Vessel Systems & Functionality
We routinely inspect and test onboard systems, document their condition, and bring issues to your attention, so you have a clearer picture of what your yacht needs.
From Hands On Ownership To Hands Off Management

It starts with understanding you and your yacht.
We inspect the vessel, learn how you use it, discuss your priorities, and identify what you'd like taken off your plate.

Lykos Yacht Services & Solutions is a yacht management and mechanical service company based in San Diego, California. We specialize in yacht management, routine engine, gear, and generator maintenance, as well as fresh water flush system installation.
Our unique approach to management incorporates in depth mechanical and electrical experience which gives our clients confidence that their vessel is being cared for at the highest level.
Managing a yacht requires more than scheduling vendors and tracking maintenance. It helps to understand the systems that are actually being maintained.
From routine maintenance and system inspections to vendor coordination and repair oversight, we don't just manage the work, we understand the work.
The result is better informed decisions, stronger oversight, and less technical details left for a yacht owner to stress about.
This is how we accomplish our goal of removing the stress of yacht ownership, and extending the life of your vessel.
What Yacht Owners Want To Know
What does yacht management cost?
Management is tailored to your yacht, its systems, and how much you want taken off your plate. After learning your needs, we'll recommend the appropriate level of management and provide clear pricing before you get started.
What exactly does Lykos manage?
We can oversee routine mechanical maintenance, vessel inspections, vendor scheduling, appearance care, and other ongoing needs. Your program is built around your yacht and the responsibilities you want us to manage.
What happens when you find something wrong with my yacht?
We document the issue, let you know what we found, and recommend the next step. When service is needed, we can coordinate the repair in-house or with the appropriate specialist and keep you informed throughout the process.
I already have a captain. Do I still need yacht management?
We can work alongside your captain rather than replace them. Your captain can focus on operating the yacht while we help oversee maintenance, service scheduling, vendors, inspections, and ongoing care.
Can you manage my yacht if I don't live in San Diego?
Yes. Management can be especially valuable for owners who aren't able to regularly check on their yacht themselves. We provide ongoing oversight, coordinate its care, and keep you informed about its condition and service needs wherever you are.
How will I know what's happening with my yacht?
You'll receive documented updates on inspections, maintenance, completed work, and items that need attention. Our goal is to give you clear visibility into your yacht without requiring you to personally manage every detail.
Can you work with my existing mechanics, detailers, or other vendors?
Yes. If you already have trusted vendors, we can coordinate with them as part of your management program. When another specialist is needed, we can help source and coordinate the appropriate service provider.

Mahlon's the best in San Diego! He gave my Volvo Penta a new lease on life. Efficient, well priced and timely.
Mahlon has been working on our boat's Volvo Penta TAMD diesel engines for many years at Pier 32 Marina in National City. He has helped us troubleshoot and repair various items on them as well as help us maintain them. He is an expert at what he does and is very dependable. I highly recommend him if you need a reliable person to service your engines and whom you can trust.
