Restore Your Boat's Showroom Shine

Boat Detailing & Cleaning

← All Services
Fort Lauderdale's marine environment demands more than a simple wash and wax. Between the relentless UV exposure, salt air corrosion, and algae growth in our warm waters, boats here face unique challenges that require specialized attention. We start every detailing job with a thorough assessment of your vessel's condition, identifying problem areas like waterline staining, oxidation, and salt deposits that standard cleaning can't address. Our process includes hull washing with marine-grade cleaners, oxidation removal, gel coat polishing, deck scrubbing, and complete interior cleaning. We use only products formulated for marine environments that won't harm your boat's finish or the surrounding water. The difference is immediately visible – restored gel coat depth, clean non-slip surfaces, and protection that helps your boat resist future damage from our subtropical climate. We also focus on areas often overlooked, like cleaning salt from electronics, treating vinyl and canvas, and ensuring drainage systems are clear – particularly important during hurricane season when proper preparation can prevent costly damage.

Boat Detailing & Cleaning — Questions & Answers

How often should I have my boat detailed in South Florida?+

We recommend full detailing every 3-4 months for boats in regular use, given our year-round boating season and harsh salt environment. Boats that sit unused for extended periods may need more frequent cleaning to prevent permanent staining and oxidation.

Can you remove heavy waterline stains and oxidation?+

Yes, we handle severe staining and oxidation using progressive compounds and marine-specific products. Heavy oxidation typically requires multiple steps including cutting compound, polishing, and protective wax application. Most stains come out completely, though deeply embedded discoloration may require multiple treatments.

Do you clean boat interiors as well as exteriors?+

Absolutely. Interior cleaning includes cabin areas, galley, head, upholstery, and electronics cleaning. We pay special attention to removing salt residue that can damage electronics and treating leather or vinyl surfaces against UV and humidity damage.

What's included in hurricane prep cleaning?+

Hurricane preparation includes thorough cleaning of all surfaces, ensuring drainage systems are clear, treating canvas and vinyl with protective products, and removing any organic matter that could cause damage during storage. We also clean and treat metal hardware to prevent accelerated corrosion.

How long does a typical boat detailing take?+

Most boats under 40 feet take 1-2 full days depending on condition and services requested. Larger vessels or boats requiring significant oxidation removal may take 2-3 days. We'll provide a time estimate after assessing your boat's specific needs.
