What it is

Premium detailing is a multi-stage cosmetic restoration: thorough wash, clay bar decontamination, machine polish, and durable wax or sealant on exterior surfaces, plus interior wipe-down, vinyl conditioning, and glass treatment. We deliver professional-shop results at your dock or marina.

Why you need it

Salt, UV, and algae stain gelcoat and oxidize finishes faster in Florida than almost anywhere in the country. Regular washing helps, but only proper decontamination and protection restore depth and gloss — and protect resale value on six-figure boats. Detailing is maintenance for your hull and your pride of ownership.

Owners preparing for sale or survey, fishing teams who want a professional image, weekend cruisers who take pride in appearance, and Full Throttle Club members using their included annual detail benefit.

Common questions

How is this different from a dock wash?

A wash removes surface dirt. Premium detailing decontaminates, corrects, and protects — the difference between clean and glossy.

Do you need shore power or water?

We arrive equipped for mobile operation. Tell us your slip access when booking so we plan accordingly.

Can I combine detailing with engine service?

Yes — the Service + Detail Combo is our most popular package for owners who want mechanical and cosmetic work in one visit.

Owner tips for this service

DIY habits that complement professional Premium Boat Detailing — and when to book a pro instead.

Cleaning & Detailing

Rinse hull, deck, and hardware after every trip

Salt crystals act like sandpaper under sun load and stain porous gelcoat within days.

No regrets: A five-minute rinse at the dock beats a weekend of compounding later.

Cleaning & Detailing

Use a two-bucket wash with grit guards

Single-bucket washing grinds salt and grit back into gelcoat — the main cause of swirl marks.

No regrets: Never use household dish soap as your primary wash — it strips wax and dries vinyl.

Cleaning & Detailing

Condition vinyl monthly — UV damage is irreversible

Cracked seats start as faded, stiff vinyl long before they tear.

No regrets: Cover consoles and seating when stored outside, even in Florida 'winter.'
