Boat and marine detailing
Luxury care, real protection and the same attention to detail, brought from the driveway to the water.
From recreational boats and pontoons to luxury watercraft, inside and out, with marine-appropriate products and techniques. Whether you're getting ready for a weekend on the lake, keeping the boat up through the season, or bringing it back after months of use.
Priced by length and condition
Not every boat should get the same price just because it's the same length. The exterior is priced per foot by the condition of the hull, and everything else is added only when you choose it.

The water is where memories are made. Protection keeps them going.
Every time the boat goes in, the sun, the water and everything in it work on its finish. Proper marine detailing isn't just keeping it clean. It's keeping its looks, its surfaces and its value.
UV and sun damage
Long sun exposure oxidizes gelcoat and fades and breaks down vinyl and plastic. Marine-grade sealants, UV protectants and routine maintenance slow that wear.
Water spots and mineral deposits
As lake water dries, minerals stay behind on fiberglass and glass, and they get harder to remove the longer they sit. Regular cleaning and protection keep them from setting in.
Oxidation and gelcoat
That dull, chalky finish builds up over seasons of sun and moisture. Condition-based polishing, marine waxes and sealants keep the gelcoat glossy and can save a bigger correction later.
Upholstery and vinyl
Marine seating takes moisture, sun, sunscreen and body oils every outing. Material-appropriate cleaning and marine-safe UV protection help stop staining, fading and cracking.
Mold, mildew and moisture
Damp compartments and upholstery are where mildew starts. Accessible surfaces are cleaned and treated, with advice on drying and ventilation.
Resale value
Faded gelcoat and stained seats can mean costly restoration before a sale. Consistent care keeps the boat presentable all the way through ownership.
Boat questions
How is a boat detail priced?
By length and condition. The exterior is priced per foot by hull condition ($12, $22 or $38 a foot), interior detailing is 65% of the exterior price, add-ons are priced per foot, and 10% is added for marine products and consumables.
Is the estimate the final price?
No. Every estimate is confirmed against the boat's actual condition, layout, access and what it needs. Restoration in particular is priced on inspection.
