Our General Clean is a full-boat scrub using high-quality soap to lift dirt, grime, and buildup from every surface. We spot clean trouble areas with professional-grade products when needed, and we finish by polishing up your windows for a clear, streak-free shine. It’s the perfect reset to get your boat looking fresh and ready to go.
Includes:
Rinse and hand wash exterior
Spot-cleaning of decks and glass
Wipe down of interior surfaces
Drying to prevent water spots

Our Full Detail includes everything from the General Clean—thorough scrubbing, spot cleaning, and window cleaning—but takes it to the next level. We spend extra time on tough spots to make sure every inch looks its best. We also polish all chrome to a brilliant shine and apply a UV protectant to leather and vinyl surfaces to help prevent cracking and fading. It’s the best choice for boats that need a deeper clean and lasting protection.
Includes:
Full exterior wash and polish
Interior deep cleaning (seats, flooring, storage areas)
Mold/mildew treatment
Vinyl/leather conditioning
Stainless steel polish

Our Waxing Packages are designed for boats that need more than just a clean—they need restoration. Each package includes a Full Detail before and between every stage of the process. We tailor the compound level to your boat’s needs, using more aggressive compounds for deeper scratches and oxidation, and lighter ones for surface-level imperfections. After compounding, we apply a high-quality polish for a smooth, glossy finish, then follow up with another Full Detail to make sure every surface is spotless. It’s a thorough, multi-step process that delivers serious results.
Includes:
Surface prep wash
Hand or machine wax application
Buffing for high-gloss finish
Water beading test included

Our Acid Wash service targets heavy algae, scum, and mineral buildup on the hull using specialized, corrosive-grade cleaners. This treatment restores the original color and appearance of the hull, cutting through grime that standard cleaning can't handle. The boat must be out of the water—either on a trailer or dry dock—for this service to be performed safely and effectively.
Due to the nature of the materials and the variation in hull conditions, acid cleaning must be booked in advance and requires an in-person assessment before quoting. This ensures we can determine the best approach and deliver high-quality results without compromising your boat’s finish.
