Base Managers’ Working Week

Running a yacht charter operational base can be a challenging job some days, so weekly planning and the day-to-day management of company personnel, suppliers, boats, and guests needs to be controlled.

Here you will find the Base Managers Daily Check list along with an example of the tasks and duties that must be performed weekly as routine to support others company departments.

The Base Manager’s Working Week schedule highlights many functions that must be performed to meet the company’s management standards and quality of service expected by the guests on arrival and during their experience with Dream Yacht Charter.

It is necessary to use this schedule to ensure communications with other departments (accounts, financial, booking office, suppliers, personnel meetings) are maintained and the weekly reporting of critical issues is done on time.
