What is boat sitting?

A Boat Sitting job involves taking care of a boat while the owner is away.

You may also be responsible for airing out the cabin, running the engine periodically, and managing any minor issues that arise. Communication with the boat owner is key, as you'll provide updates about the boat's condition and promptly report any concerns. The role may also involve coordinating with marina staff or service personnel if repairs are needed.
