Tampa Bay & Bradenton — mobile marine service
Cared for, inside and out.
Every boat gets the same meticulous, hand-worked process, matched to its condition and where it's kept. On the water, that means two kinds of care.
Illustrative
Exterior
Washed, corrected, protected.
Salt and contamination washed and decontaminated, oxidation removed, the gelcoat machine-polished back to depth, and metal and chrome brightened across every reachable surface.
Illustrative
Interior
Helm, seating and cabin.
Compartments, upholstery and the captain's area cleaned and refreshed, with vinyl and leather conditioned to stand up to the Florida sun.

We correct the surface.
Sun and salt oxidize gelcoat until it loses depth and turns chalky. How we bring it back depends on how far the oxidation has gone.
Light oxidation
Heavy oxidation
One-step correction
For light oxidation and dullness. A single refinement pass restores clarity.
Two-step correction
For moderate oxidation. Two stages bring back more depth and color.
Three-step correction
For heavy, chalky oxidation. The most thorough restoration.
The right level is matched to the gelcoat and confirmed after we see the boat.

Then, we protect it.
A five-year marine ceramic.
Applied over the corrected gelcoat as the long-term protection step. The ceramic is the protection itself, not a wax layer resting on top of it, and it helps the surface shed water and resist the elements.
Quoted by boat length and condition. No two boats are the same, so marine detailing stays quote-based.
How your quote is built.
Boat detailing is quote-based because no two boats are the same. We don't start by asking which package you want, we learn about the boat, then recommend the right service. Four things shape your estimate:
Length, make and model are the starting point for everything. More surface area and freeboard height means more time and more product. A 17-ft bay boat and a 40-ft cruiser are different jobs.
Every boat is different, so final pricing is confirmed after we review the boat, its condition, access and the scope you want.
From real boat owners.
