What is boat detailing?
Boat detailing is a professional deep cleaning and restoration process for your vessel. It goes beyond a basic wash and includes polishing, waxing, oxidation removal, and protection treatments to keep your boat looking great and lasting longer.
Why is boat detailing important?
Regular detailing protects your investment by preventing oxidation, fading, water spotting, and damage from UV rays, saltwater, and pollutants. It not only enhances appearance but also extends the life of your gel coat, upholstery, and metal surfaces.
What is the cost of detailing a vessel?
Every vessel is unique, and pricing depends on its size, condition, and the level of service required. Factors such as oxidation, surface condition, type of finish, and additional services (like ceramic coating or teak restoration) will affect the total cost. We provide personalized quotes after an in-person assessment to ensure we understand your boat’s current condition and the exact services needed. This way, you get a fair, accurate estimate tailored to your vessel’s specific needs. Smaller boats may start at a few hundred dollars, while larger yachts or heavily oxidized vessels can require a custom package. Our goal is to deliver maximum value and long-lasting protection for your investment.
How often should I have my boat detailed?
We recommend a full detail at least once or twice a year, depending on how often you use your boat and whether it’s in fresh or saltwater. Regular washes and maintenance details every 1–3 months help maintain peak condition year-round.
What services are included in a full boat detail?
A full detail typically includes: Exterior wash & wax Gel coat oxidation removal & polishing Deep cleaning (seats, carpets, compartments) Vinyl, leather, and upholstery conditioning Metal cleaning (rails, cleats, trim) Engine bay cleaning (upon request)
Do you detail boats at marinas or on trailers?
Yes! We are a mobile boat detailing service. We come to you whether your boat is in the water at a marina, on a lift, or on a trailer at your home.
How long does a boat detail take?
The time depends on the size and condition of your boat. A small runabout may take 2 to 3 days, while a large yacht could take or more as the weather permits. We’ll provide an estimate after assessing your vessel.
What products do you use?
We use marine-grade, eco-friendly detailing products specifically designed for boats. Our waxes, sealants, and cleaners are safe for gel coat, fiberglass, metal, vinyl, and upholstery while delivering long-lasting protection.
Can you remove oxidation and restore faded gel coat?
Yes! Oxidation removal and gel coat restoration are one of our specialties. We use professional buffing and polishing techniques to bring back shine and protect the surface with a premium wax or ceramic coating.
Do you offer maintenance plans?
Absolutely! We offer customizable maintenance packages, so your boat stays clean and protected year-round. Options include weekly, monthly, quarterly, bi- yearly, and yearly washes and details.
Do I need to be present during the detailing?
No, as long as we have access to your boat, we can complete the job while you’re away. Many customers appreciate the convenience of returning to a freshly detailed vessel.
How do I book a service?
You can schedule an appointment by calling us directly, booking online through our website, or emailing us. We recommend booking in advance, especially during the busy boating season.
