Yacht-specific medical kits that match your flag state’s requirements and the voyage profile you actually operate — delivered to the dock in Florida, restocked on a schedule, and backed by documentation that satisfies port state control inspections.
Commercial yachts must carry medical kits matched to the voyage area. The MCA (UK Maritime & Coastguard Agency) categories are the industry baseline, and most flag states accept or mirror them. We supply all three configurations.
For vessels operating worldwide with no voyage-area restriction. Full medical inventory including prescription medications, IV equipment, oxygen, and trauma supplies.
For vessels operating within 150 nautical miles of a safe haven. Intermediate scope — prescription medications and intermediate trauma kit.
For vessels operating within 60 nautical miles of a safe haven. First-aid scope — designed for situations where shore-based care is reachable within hours.
Defibrillators (AED), oxygen, pediatric modules for charters with children, allergy & anaphylaxis modules, and dental emergency kits added on top of the base configuration.
Cayman, Marshall Islands, Malta, and the US all use the MLC 2006 baseline but have their own specific requirements layered on top — quantities, drug schedules, and documentation expectations differ. Each kit ships with the paperwork your flag and port state will look for.
Configured to the Cayman Islands Shipping Registry medical equipment guidelines, with documentation ready for REG inspection.
Matched to IRI medical inventory requirements for yachts on the Marshall Islands flag.
Configured to Transport Malta’s medical equipment requirements for commercial yachts under the Malta flag.
For US-flagged vessels, kits configured to US Coast Guard requirements with documentation aligned to USCG inspection format.
Other flag states (Bermuda, Isle of Man, Jamaica, St Vincent & the Grenadines, etc.) are available on request.
Most kits we audit on first inspection have expired medications, missing items used during the season, or paperwork that’s out of date. A kit that doesn’t pass a port-state inspection isn’t doing its job.
A full inventory check against your flag-state requirements, with a written report you can hand to your management company or insurer.
Expired medications replaced, used items resupplied, new items added when regulations change. Delivered to your Florida dock.
Signed kit certificate for the medical log book and any flag-state paperwork required as evidence of compliance.
Quick verification before a charter starts — the kit is present, sealed where required, and nothing expires during the charter window.
Beyond the MLC-compliant ship medical kit, we supply diagnostic and testing kits crew can use on board or at the dock — processed through CLIA-certified US laboratories with results returned confidentially. Useful when a clinic visit isn’t practical or when the situation calls for privacy.
Self-collection kits (urine, swab, finger-prick blood) for the standard STI panel — chlamydia, gonorrhea, syphilis, HIV, hepatitis, and HPV where indicated. Processed by CLIA-certified US labs. Results returned discreetly to the crew member, not the captain or management.
Pre-employment, random, and post-incident drug screens. Rapid on-board panels (5-, 10-, or 12-panel) for immediate results, or send-to-lab kits with full chain-of-custody documentation for employment or insurance purposes.
Annual-check style screens — lipid panel, blood glucose / HbA1c, thyroid function, vitamin D, full blood count. Useful for crew due an annual medical or yacht programs that include health checks as standard.
If a US clinician orders bloodwork or other diagnostics, we can arrange specimen collection at the dock and processing through our US lab partner — so crew don’t lose half a day going to a lab in person.
Testing kits process results through CLIA-certified laboratories (the US federal certification standard for clinical laboratories). Where a test result needs interpretation by a clinician, that follow-up is coordinated through CrewDoctor’s US provider network. Drug testing for employment purposes is conducted with chain-of-custody documentation suitable for HR or insurance use.
Length, flag state, voyage profile (worldwide, regional, coastal), number of crew and typical guest load, any existing conditions on board.
We come back with the matching MCA category, any flag-state-specific add-ons, and a recommended customization list (AED, oxygen, etc.).
Kit assembled and delivered to your dock in Florida. Onboard handover with the chief stew or designated medical officer.
We track expiry dates, schedule the restock visit, and update paperwork ahead of any flag-state or class inspection.
MSOS (UK), YMS (Italy), and MedAire are the established names in yacht medical kits and telemedicine globally — and they’re excellent at what they do. Where CrewDoctor fits: a Florida-based kit and restock operation for yachts that spend their season in US waters, with the same team also handling in-person medical coordination when crew on those yachts need care ashore.
We’re happy to work with kits supplied by MSOS, YMS, MedAire or others — we can audit, restock, or supplement them with US-specific items where useful.
